we had a little bit of excitement at your place last thursday night. around 2:30 a.m. (friday morning), i woke up to bonnie barking, so i went downstairs and looked around, but didn't see anything, so i calmed her down and went back to bed. within a minute, though, she started barking again, so i went downstairs again. as i came down the stairs, i saw her standing in the mudroom, barking in the direction of the hot tub. as i rounded the corner into the mudroom, i saw the silhouette a man on the deck. he was standing at the door. i yelled, and he ran out the gate which was wide open. i called the police, and they arrived within just a few minutes, but there was nothing they could do at that point. interestingly enough, i had seen a report on the denver news the previous week about a series of burglaries in north boulder (apparently there have been several). the good news is that nothing was damaged or stolen, and no one was hurt. both charles and i are grateful that bonnie is such a good watchdog. good girl, bonnie! (laci was spending the night that night, but he didn't bark at all.) so...that was kinda spooky...but all seems well again. my intention in telling you this is not to worry you, of course...i just thought you should know.

i hope this email finds you happy and well. more soon.

xoxoxo

Thanks, Richard. I made your photo essay the inaugural post on Miss Bonnie�s dog blog, http://mbonnie.blogspot.com/

FW: bonnie's new friend!

While Rick and Gary are mountaineering in Argentina, one of Miss B´s house sitters sent in news about a new toy -- Rick

meet mr. squirrel. he's bonnie's new
friend and doggie activation toy!

see how bonnie waits so patiently for mr. squirrel to come out and play? good girl, bonnie!

see the look in bonnie's eyes? she'sso excited to see her new friend!
bonnie's planning to say hello to
mr. squirrel in a very special way!

bonnie and mr. squirrel love to
pretend they are famous actors of the
stage and screen (both large and
small). here they perform an
interpretive dance to the theme
from jaws. can't you just hear the
music?

here our gender-bending tricksters
reenact the six wives of henry viii,
with bonnie in demanding dual roles
as the king and the guillotine, to mr.
squirrel's anne boleyn, of course.
"off with her head!", barks the king.

with playtime coming to a close,
bonnie's new buddy takes his leave,
this time as rocky the flying squirrel.
"a flying squirrel? wooo...big stretch",
bonnie laughs. "you drive me nuts,"
squeaks mr. squirrel as he zooms
low over her head before flying out
the door. "see you tomorrow!"
