Stories From Black Dog Ranch, Mia and the Gang

Hi everyone. It's me Mia.

Well this has been another great week-end here at the ranch. Ms. Charlene spent a lot of time giving us lots of love and attention and even some special brushing too. Molly has always been a little afraid of the brush until recently she decided to let Ms. Charlene brush her and that is Molly in this picture giving her a big kiss for brushing her today.

I guess everyone remembers when I told you about Ms. Charlene doing everything she could think of to keep us from digging up her flowerbeds and mulch??? This week-end she put this red stuff she called pepper on the mulch and told us we wouldn't like smelling of it and that it would keep us out of the mulch. Boy was she right!! You know normally us dogs like things that smell bad, we even like to roll in stuff that smells bad, but not this red stuff. It makes all of us sneeze! Ms. Charlene laughed at us and said she would rather we sneeze a little and stay away from the mulch than to use something like chemicals that would hurt us because she loves us sooooo much. I guess she finally taught us a lesson about digging up the mulch.

Ms. Charlene and Ms. Marie went on another one of those silly trail rides this week-end too. Ms. Marie gave them all horse cookies afterwards and they followed her around for a long time after all the treats were gone too!

Well I guess I better go for now. I hope everyone out there remembers to buy a copy of my book, "Stories from Black Dog Ranch". It's a great book and it's about all of us here at the ranch.

Talk more soon,

Mia
