Tuesdays With Tag - Meet Ceri...

 Hi, Everybody!

Gosh. A lot sure can happen in one short week.

Last week, I was lying around in the heat, hittin' the pool to cool off and just

mindin' my own business. Then Mom got a call that changed everythin'.

 I have a little Corgi foster sister!!! She's gonna live with us for the next couple

of weeks and then she's gonna move to Minnesota to live with Mom's sister, Di.

She was abandoned and full of fleas when she was found, and the caller had

checked everywhere for a couple of weeks to see if anyone was lookin' for her.

Can you believe that she was all alone? We were asked if we could take her 

to live with us. Mom talked to Dad and then called her sister who has wanted a

corgi for quite a while. Her sister said "yes" right away! When Di called back the 

next day, she asked us to start calling this little girl "Ceri" (pronounced Kee-ree). 

It's Welsh for "love".

 We've been gettin' along great - as long as she doesn't get too cozy with my

Mom! I even showed her my awesome swimmin' skills and she loves my pool!

 This is kinda how we got acquainted. I first met her in town and then we came back 

home. Mom let us both into the Holidome and we stood checkin' each other out.

 Then, I jumped into the pool and Ceri jumped right in behind me!

I couldn't even believe it! She loves bein' in the water!!

 I showed her my superior divin' style. (She was impressed!)

 She stood on the swim-out and watched me take a few laps.

She was not too sure about jumpin' in with me, so she just stayed there,

stuck her head under water and then she blew bubbles. Mom laughed!

 She jumped off the deck one time and almost missed the swim out.

That woulda been really funny, but Mom and Dad were lifeguardin'.

She was safe.

Actually, by the end of the day, she was swimmin', too, but she didn't 

jump in like I do. Mom just took her out into the deep water to swim.

She has a pretty mean dog paddle! I thought that was cool.

 Every time I swam back to get out, there she was waitin' for me. You might 

notice that she's kinda tiny. She only weighs seventeen pounds. (I weigh

thirty!) We think she's about two years old, so maybe we're the same age!

 As soon as I jumped outta the water, Ceri jumped out, too, and then

we ran around the pool deck as fast as we could. We stopped, shook off 

the extra water, and then...

 SPLASH! Right back into the pool!

 She was pretty sad when we first saw her, but she's happier already.

When we told her what her new name is, she seemed to understand.

She comes when Mom calls her. She sits so Mom or Dad can put her leash

on before going outside (we don't want her runnin' away again!), and she's

excited to be movin' up to Minnesota. (We didn't tell her about snow yet.)

 So, for the next few weeks, I'll share more adventures with Ceri.

I think you'll like her as much as we do.

Have a great week. See ya next Tuesday! 'til then...

"More Waggin' and Less Barkin'!"
