YO!! I'M BACK and I'M SORTA SAD.

Hey dogs, dudes and dudettes! Been gone for a while, chillin' over at Aunt Paula's Camp Qwazy Goldens, where I met some new butts - er - buds. Can't remember everybody's name, but, dog, do I ever remember their scents! Some of my new friends are even distantly related to me, or so they said. Seems one Stryder - my very own dad - was quite the stud . . . uh huh!!

Mom and Dad had high-tailed it to Boston to hobnob with all those Haaaavaaad types for graduation, but I had a good ole time while they were gone. It's not often that I get to hang with that many other goldens all at one time. It was so cool!

And, Aunt Paula gave me the sleekest summer fur cut. I feel pounds lighter and cooler, but I'm worried that she cut off my eyebrows. I can't jump up high enough to see in a mirror, but I'm not feelin' like my face is as expressive as it needs to be. You know I depend on my eyebrows to emote and beg. Snacks have been a little slim lately. Maybe it's the eyebrows??

Ok, so the stupid eyebrows will grow back. I know I'm obsessing, but here's what really is a big deal: Luna's not comin' to live here after all! Her mom started getting concerned about some things about Luna that might be a problem for us. Yeh, yeh, it sucks big time, cuz I'm needin' a friend pretty bad, but I guess I understand. Do you think it's cuz I have no eyebrows???? Sigh . . . I'm sorta sad.

Luna - my almost friend - I'm gonna miss you!
