Olive’s Post:

Do you notice that I have not had a say in this blog for quite a long time? I finally pitched a fit here in Point Reyes and I have gotten a say.

I want to tell you that I have not settled down, I still pant excessively even on Peggy’s lap. Well I actually give up after awhile and sleep. BUT, don’t have me go through one of those damn tunnels. They totally freak me out. What is a tunnel anyway. Why on earth do we have to go underground?

If I wanted to go underground it would be to chase gophers. I never knew there were such animals but I am very interested in finding them. I managed to dig up Janie’s lawn twice going after them. It was recommended that I not do that, but who can resist.

I was so excited to arrive at Janie’s house. I was the first one in the door, I sniffed everything, and promptly made myself at home on the couch. I got kicked off immediately which I do not understand. I chose the couch that was not white so what is the big deal? After that I got them to put my blankets on and I settled down for the MOST comfortable nap since this nightmare of a trip began.

I don’t know if I can take much more, where are we going and why can’t we just go home. Seriously what is wrong with Vermont. Ok, I agree the beaches are cool, and there are some pretty amazing smells BUT I don’t get to go off the leash and run around like I do at home. I tried to get them to leave me with my cousin Janie, after all she had a familiar smell as Peggy, but once again the dreaded leash was put on and I had no choice but to follow.

Yesterday in the Golden Gate park I was almost assaulted by a goose. I’ve got to tell you that goose was bigger than me. Not only that but there was a whole gang of them. I know they have gangs in San Francisco but Goose Gangs. They don’t need guns, they have those pointed beaks that look like they could kill you with one bite. I learned to stay clear of them.

Oh Maggie, why have you forsaken me? You said Henry was lonely without me. The least you could do is come get me. We are going to Oregon tomorrow. Do you realize this is as far as I can get from home in the U.S. Are these parents crazy or what?
