Kid President's 5 Things That Make Summer Awesome

Rainbow Writings

That quote helps me deal when it's raining cats and dogs around here...

Like when I am not allowed to go with my family where they go.

See me? 

I am there, right behind the closed door,

watching Mom leave.

(Dad took me to the "spa" later.)

My human brother graduated from college in Ohio

and although other dogs were obviously allowed near the events I was not.

And in Ohio they went to Graeter's and the Old Bag of Nails - 

both places where dogs are welcome.

While traveling Mom saw some big, hairy dogs at a yarn shop.

Let me state this in black and white:

I like being with my family.

(I also do not like it when my toys get lost under the couch.)

Anyway, check out my friend's summer cut - so stylin!

And how about this cool village sticker?

 For the next year all the vehicles in town will be 

reminding everyone how great dogs are!

Booyah!

Here's some items Mom saw this past month she wants me to "dog-ument" on the blog.

(Mind you that catty shirt is just wrong.)

Now that the flowers are finally blooming I have been able to get out for walks. 

I love it when Dad and I go through the park!

Mom met this dog in Michigan.

Her name is Black Pearl. 

She's pretty!

Although I can't have bones for a treat 

I do appreciate the idea of this big of a perk.

Mom brought back some coloring books from her parents' home.

These are the ones I like best. 

Isn't it cool how my human sister and her friends 

lined up their prom dresses like a rainbow?

 Mom listens to K Love on the radio. 

She likes the way the music calms her and makes her joyful.

One of her favorite songs is Laura Story's "Blessings" which has the lyrics:

"What if your blessings come through raindrops?"

and

"What if the trials of this life

the rain

the storms

the hardest nights.

Are your mercies in disguise?"

How do you deal with the storms of life?

How do you celebrate the rainbows?

PAWS and try your best to have a sunny disposition -

it's sure to make you glow all over!

What the Hail?

Finally the snow melted and daffodils bloomed...

but on April 12th pellets of ice flew down from the sky!

What the hail?????

(There was no way I was going out there!)

I am "hoppy" to report the Easter bunny brought me a new toy!

I like it!

Mom is looking for an 8 track tape player so she can listen to this tape. 

If you have one she can use/buy please let her know.

Sure looks like a good album!

Mom went traveling again this month and saw a lot of dogs:

Here's Duncan from Ohio.

I like his wavy ears.

Here's another photo of my girlfriend Mia with a mini me Mom brought her.

Sometimes Mom even takes photos of random dogs she sees:

Here's another beach dog but this one was at the Easter sunrise service:

Is it just me, or does this dog seem a bit stiff?

Mom went all the way to Kansas to meet Aspen and Maggie:

Mia and Daisy are from an art gallery in Topeka 

where the owner makes dog face glass pendants!

An English bulldog was featured on the website where my human brother goes to college.

 (Mom will be taking photos of dogs in NC when she takes my human sister to college.)

When Mom goes back to Phantom Lake this summer 

she hopes to use this PAWSitively awesome megaphone her friend donated to camp.

Mom continues to dog-ument amazing amounts of canine clothing and collectibles.

This one looks like my friend Gibbs!                        These guys are saying, "Let us out!"

 Mom saw this sign while out driving.

Personally I think it looks scary.

If you are going thrifting - go somewhere inviting:

Mom had to go to the doctor for a check up. 

At least there was good reading material there!

If you are lucky you will score this book. 

It's on the shelves at First Church LF's 64th Annual Rummage Sale 

where Mom has been sorting items for the BIG sale that is this weekend.

I hope the weather is finally nice where you live and you are getting out in the sunshine.

 Even though I may look forlorn while waiting to go on a walk, 

it's true that sometimes I make Mom go for a "drag" instead!

The end.

(Until next month!)

PAWS and reflect back.

What has caught your eye this month?

Snap a photo of something eye catching and send it to a friend!
