Bear’s Farm Journal - Week Sixteen
The One Where I Got Promoted to Delivery Dog!
Hi friends, Bear here!
Well, another busy week here at State 28 Farm, and apparently my career is really taking off!
This week Daddy took me on several deliveries, including a trip to Rockwall Co-Op, where we deliver our State 28 Farm goodies. I got to meet Mimi, make new friends and supervise Daddy while he worked.
Unfortunately, Daddy took ZERO pictures.
Mommy says this is why she can’t send Daddy anywhere without specific photography instructions. 😂 But trust me, I was adorable.
I also got to go shopping at one of my FAVORITE places… TRACTOR SUPPLY!
And friends, this was a BIG shopping trip because I’m officially 41 POUNDS! I’ve outgrown my baby collars and harness, so Mommy says it’s time for some big-girl accessories.
Naturally, I picked out new toys and bones too. A girl needs options!
When we got to the register, I proudly brought my bones up to pay, and the nice lady gave me a COOKIE! I even sat nicely and shook her hand.
Now, Mommy keeps saying I need obedience school, but I sat, shook hands AND earned a cookie at Tractor Supply. I’m beginning to think Mommy is the one who needs additional training.
Speaking of Mommy, that woman worked and worked and WORKED this week, and I missed her terribly! She says this is her insanely busy season until Santa arrives. I’m working on staying on the nice list. We’ll see.
Thankfully, we have our own special morning tradition that I wouldn’t miss for anything. Every morning between 4 and 5 AM, Mommy and I have coffee time. While most of the world is still sleeping, I get to snuggle up with her before she starts doing allllll the things. It’s quiet, it’s peaceful, and for a little while, I have Mommy all to myself. Then she’s off to work another long day. That woman never stops!
I did get to spend some time with her in her office this week, too. Somebody has to supervise her and remind her to take a break. Being Mommy’s little shadow is a full-time job, but somebody has to do it.
Now that the weather is finally getting nicer, my big sisters and I have been enjoying naps in the sunshine on the porch. Scout and I play ball, tug-of-war and chase until we’re exhausted, while Tilly supervises from her comfy dog bed.
Tilly has the right idea. Management shouldn’t have to do all the running.
Mommy says there’s something pretty special about watching all three of us enjoying a beautiful fall afternoon together.
I think she’s right. Even a gremlin knows the good stuff when she sees it.
Of course, my nightly Bear 500 through the farmhouse is still going strong. I’ve perfected my racetrack, including the corners, and I see absolutely no reason to slow down just because Mommy thinks the living room isn’t a sporting facility.
And then Mommy brought home something VERY exciting.
A FOUNTAIN WATER BOWL!
Apparently she thought buying an automatic water bowl would stop me from playing in my drinking water.
Oh, Mommy. Bless your heart.
At first I stared at this strange contraption wondering if she’d finally lost her mind. But then I discovered it has WATER THAT MOVES ALL BY ITSELF! SHE BOUGHT ME AN INDOOR WATER PARK!
Best. Purchase. Ever. Mommy says it’s for drinking. I say we have very different visions for this investment.
So here I am, 41 pounds, a professional delivery assistant, a Tractor Supply regular, an expert at fetch and the proud owner of an indoor water park.
Mommy says I’m growing up. Physically? Absolutely. Mentally? Let’s not rush things.
Until next Sunday…
Love,
Bear Chaos Pullins 🐾
P.S. Mommy, if you didn’t want me playing in the water, why did you buy me a FOUNTAIN? I’m just asking reasonable questions. 😂
