Sunday night redeux

My mom says I am like "clockwork"...in fact, she does not even wear a watch or set an alarm because she has ME!!  So, Sunday, I am out on "lookout point", since something happened LAST Sunday...and there I see something, and I start barking.  She comes running out again, but there in the waters was a BIG BLACK nutria...in my swimming hole!!  She made sure I did not go down there..because they are mean and ugly.  But, as soon as he heard me, he started swimming away.

So...now I have a new nickname -- Rolex!  

We are all getting excited for the big wedding next week!!  i even get to go!  I have a black tie...I better get it out and get it ironed!  

The Big Rescue

My mom and I rescued two boaters on Sunday evening!!  I was laying outside, while my mom was taking her bath around 8:00, when I saw 2 guys in a big raft.  They appeared to be having some trouble...I barked and mom came outside to see what was going on.  The current was running pretty strong, and mom shouted at the guys, asking if they needed some help.  They were suppose to be at a park upstream, but had gone past it.  Mom said, you have to get over to our side of the river and get out now, before it gets dark.....she had to REALLY convince them that what she was saying was right...I stood by her the entire time.  They finally made it over to our shoreline, with much difficulty, got out and carried their raft up to our backyard.  She offered to drive them to Independence, but they had a cell phone and called their uncle.  One of the guys had no shoes,  and neither of them had a life jacket.  If I had not barked, who knows what would have happened!!
