Mom and I went walking along the canal. It’s fun ’cause there’s always a lot of interesting scents there. Not to mention I can find all kinds of critters to hunt too! I found a snake there once, Mom called it a Moccasin, and she got very, very upset with me for trying to catch it. She says he was a baaad snake. So I try to avoid those now. I do like finding frogs, birds, gophers, and lizards though. And once I even managed to catch a fish on my own too! The water was ugly and murky today though. No fish neither.

I did find an interesting looking beetle though. He had a very hard shell so it was fun to bat him around. He was like a ball! He made a really loud crunch too when I ate him. Mom looked startled when she heard the sound. I was surprised by the sound too. But he tasted yummy. Other than that I didn’t find anything good to eat.

When we got back Mom went and got a shower. I swear, humans are so weird. They can do all these nifty things, but they can’t even bathe right! Sadly, Mom is now rounding up the towels and loading those into her car too. I think she’s gonna be gone for a while today. I wish I could go with her. I don’t wanna be stuck all day in the house with Isis. She’s been really grouchy these past few days.
