Ice Fishing!

So yesterday my mom says we’re going on an adventure.  I’m all up for that! We’ve been sitting in the house for waaaay too long – it’s time to get out and stretch these legs.  I know what you’re thinking; with 6” legs how much does it take to stretch them?  I’ll tell you… a lot!  Just the other day I JUMPED from one sofa to the other when I was on my strafing run through the house (that’s right, S-T-R-A-F-I-N-G, there’s your word of the day for Friday, look it up).  I was making my rounds all fired up and running hell bent for leather.  I closed my eyes and JUMPED! It was awesome! I flew through the air, landed on all fours (as you do), and kept going.  Then I couldn’t stop because it was so much fun!  My mom was SUPER impressed.

I guess that’s why she decided we needed an adventure, she could tell I was getting a little antsy being cooped up for a few days.  So her friend Justin came over and then we went ice fishing.  I was pretty excited until my mom reached for my down coat! Ugh! I hate that thing!  It’s so binding!  Such a hindrance!  But, she’s the boss of me so I let her put it on. 

We rode out to the lake in Justin’s HUGE red truck.  That thing was so far off the ground that there is no way I could ever jump into it.  Seriously, it was at least four feet off the ground.  But I tell ya, what a view we had from up there!

We went out on the ice on a lake.  It was pretty cool and a little cold on the old man berries because there had been a bit of snow so I was kinda glad I had my coat on – DO NOT TELL MY MOTHER I SAID THAT PLEASE!

Justin drilled a hole in the ice and my mom was a little nervous that I would fall in but hey, the hole wasn’t that big and I’m a dog, I have to sniff everything!



Then Mom and Justin sat with little miniature fishing poles and fished.  And fished. And fished. And caught nothing!  I watched with baited breath, (ha, ha, get it? baited breath?? I am so funny!), but nothing exciting came out of that hole.

I guess the fish thought it was too cold to come out of the water?  I don’t know but it was sure fun to get out of the house and smell some new smells!  I was pretty exhausted on the way home.  All of those awesome smells, struggling with that damn coat all day, and waiting and waiting for the fish that never came.  I conked right out on the way home.
