Learning to Drive


I want to learn to drive. Yesterday I saw a big boxer sitting in the driver’s seat of a little pickup. Even though he wasn’t moving I know he could drive—he was right there behind the steering wheel. I’m kind of small so I may have trouble reaching the accelerator and brake, but I’m very observant when I sit up front. Popo tells me where we are and I watch for deer and other things that might cross the road. Auntie said it would be important to have a backup driver and that could be me!

Rabbit Hunting

I’ve been looking for rabbits all winter. I check all their usual hiding places—in the fence rows and between the big bales of hay. And nothing—nothing until this week. I was poking around the asparagus patch when out jumped a rabbit. I didn’t know where he was headed but I was right on this tail. Then he lost me when he got to the barn. Popo said they often hide under the boards that are stored there. Yesterday we were out for our walk when I stopped to check the asparagus patch and there he was again. He headed across the yard toward the road. I jumped over the tall grass and hit the ground running. Auntie was screaming and jumping and the rabbit turned and ran under a building. He got away again but I’m not giving up.

My New Sweater

Auntie finally finished my new winter sweater. It was supposed to be done for Christmas but I think she forgot. Anyway it's done now and I know I look cute--I just hope it doesn't make me look like a girl. I've had lots of sweaters but I always seem to loose them. It's hard to keep a sweater on when you run through the brush chasing rabbits. I even caught my new coat on a barbed wire fence the other day.

I really need my sweater today--it's cold and the wind is blowing so hard my ears stand straight out!
