Summer is Here! - well again almost (CP)

So the Entire Family was busy playing lately so I have to write the blog. Yes, this is Pooh writing today. The Entire Family calls me New Pooh but I like to call myself CP (Cool Pooh)! Old Pooh is resting and Big Pooh is in the hospital emergency room.

It started out as a normal, almost summer day with the Entire Family getting some chores done around the house before they started to play in the pool.

The Raccoon Princess

Here is Cassidy, the Princess, pretending she is a raccoon washing her pine cones in the pool before chewing them up. I hope she doesn't eat the whole thing today. Sometimes she even wakes me up in the middle of the night when she horks them back up.

Here is what the wild dogs do when they get tired of swimming. The Girl blew up the raft for them so they could float around the pool. I would never get on that thing with them. I would get wet and when I get wet I can't hold up my head.

All was going well until Cassidy decided she wanted to give me horsey rides around the pool.

Next thing you know they are playing save New Pooh (I mean CP)! I did not want to get wet, but nobody was listening to me.

So now I am soaked and Rooney is confused. I have trouble breathing when my head is full of water.

Rooney the big dope thinks that chewing on my arm will help me get the water out.

Rooney finally figures out the correct way to do CPR.
(yep, Cool Pooh Resuscitation)

As you can see here I have a lot of trouble when I'm this wet.

My neck is as weak as the Treat Lady's on a roller coaster.
(I heard that one from The Boy.)

I keep smiling though because that's all I know how to do. Finally The Girl picks me up, dusts me off and sets me up to dry out a bit. By this time the wild dogs are off to eat dinner. They'll forget about me for a while. Hopefully they can find Silly Elephant or even Old Pooh and let me be. CP signing out.

Where's The Boss with my Evian?
(I hope he doesn't read this!)

Summer is almost here

Is it real or is it Memorex?

Well the pool is open and it is almost warm enough for The Girl to go swimming with me. I like the pool at about 65.
The Girl likes the pool at about 85.
Right now it is a bit warm for me at 68. Boo hoo Girl.

Of course soon she will talk the Boss into turning on the heater and we can all go in together.


Kacie ended up having to go home this weekend. That ended Cousin Camp. Too bad. Cassidy and Kacie were starting to get along like sisters. We were also getting used to Kacie's cow imitation. Every time she would lay down she we let out a little moo! It was quite amusing. I just wish I could run with her. I would show her who is number one!

Here is another picture of the Treat Lady's Tree Peonies

By the way, if you were wondering whether I snuck in a picture from last year at the top of this post, here is a closeup of my knee. I can now do fun things if I just move straight ahead. It will be a couple more weeks before I can really run, but the swimming is great. Really helps me work up an appetite.
