I couldn't sleep in the bedroom last night. Alabama was nuts! She was chasing around, leaping into the air, and I was afraid of getting whiplash from her tail. I went into the hall and slept. I found out why she chose to stay in last night. Why go out in the rain, when you can kill a mouse right in the house?! UGH! She is unbearable...all proud of herself...

The weather is still nice here on Orcas Island!  We are having a beautiful sunny September!  I have been enjoying my extra month of summer by lying in the grass soaking up the sun.  I know that my Masters enjoy watching the boats in the sound, so I have included some pictures of the sound that my Master took from the Blue Heron.  I hope that you are enjoying this lovely weather, too!

Did you know that my masters are selling the Blue Heron B&B? There goes my pet host job! I'm not sure about my retirement plan, but it better include lots of milk bones.
Here is the information about the B&B (MLS#677312)

Last week, I had to go and have my teeth cleaned. Aren't they pearly white?

Boy! Was that expensive! The worst news was that I have gained 9 pounds. Now they are trying to figure out how many Weight Watchers points are in each milk bone and counting how many I get each day. Good grief! Shouldn't a senior dog be allowed to gain a little weight?

My masters want to sell and try "retirement" whatever that means. They better not get a puppy. The annoying Alabama, who is almost 1 years old and stays out all night (the little tramp!) is all I can handle.

It's been awhile since I have written. I will be 13 years old in October and I think I just don't have the energy I used to have. Actually, that's the same reason my masters put the Blue Heron Bed and Breakfast up for sale. They say they want to experience retirement. Geesh! I think they will drive me crazy! Since it will probably take a while to sell, they are moving forward with new ideas. Today was the first day of the enhanced Continental Breakfast instead of making guests the same thing at 3 different times. The breakfast gives guests a lot of choices and it worked perfectly! Everyone was having different things. They still served a hot dish...Almond-Crusted French Toast. Yum!!

It's time again for the annual Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival!  If you love music you should definitely check it out.  I am going to tell my masters to go so that they can tell me all about it!  The Festival features a talented collection of professional musicians.  We are so fortunate to host this wonderful event here on Orcas Island!  I hope that you can make it!

My Masters and I went to KindlingsFest  and I got to go last night and eat some of the ice cream from Bogdan's Root beer float after the speaker. They showed a Sundance film last night and had Phil Madeira and Ross Hauck performing. Graham Kerr got the last word in on "Care" relationships.

Check the link for next year's program and schedule, as KindlingsFest  might be back on Orcas next year.  www.thekindlings.com/kindlingsfest/

I liked the ice cream so much and it got me interested in what else went on at KindlingsFest.  I checked out the website and it described the event as "a celebration of art and ideas and where they intersect with the spiritual."  I don't know exactly what that's supposed to mean, but the ice cream was delicious!
