Working like a Dog...

Hello everyone! 
Peter PlottHound here again!
Some of you may remember my very first attempt at writing a blog back a few months ago (you can check it out here! )
I asked Mom if I could try my paw at blogging again. I bet a lot of you have been pretty curious as to how I've spent my summer. 
Well... it was definitely different, not being in the public eye and not getting to see my adoring fans at every AxeWomen show... I have definitely been missing you all! 
Ever since Mom and Dad adopted me, we have traveled all over the country, coast to coast, every single summer! So, as I'm sure you can imagine, I didn't know what to think when this summer started, and we weren't packing up to hit the road...
​...Instead of loading up the AxeWomen trailer with saws, axes and logs, and packing our bags (and my favorite squeaky toys) for a summer of fairs, expos, competitions and festivals, I was watching Mom and Dad prepare for a summer at home... they cut a few trees down and made my backyard a lot bigger! They planted a ton of gardens! And (this is my favorite part) Mom was able to spend a lot more time trying out new recipes in the kitchen! Sometimes she needs me to be the official taste-tester or pan cleaner! (I'm really, really good at both! )
Usually when I'm on tour with the AxeWomen my days consist of waking up in a plush hotel bed, enjoying the hotel's Continental Breakfast (while still in bed) of scrambled eggs and bacon, then often times a trip to visit the local dog park... then an afternoon and evening of watching Mom and her friends chop logs, throw axes and log roll. Then I get to hand out tons of "pawtographs" to my fans! 
But this summer those things have only happened a few times... Mom and Dad told me there's a pretty scary virus going around... and until humans can come up with a way to stop it lots and lots of events had to cancel... I sure am glad that they take me to the vet and keep me up to date on all my shots!! I wouldn't want to have to worry about something crazy like that!!
This summer I've gotten to sleep late most mornings... we haven't been to a dog park for a long time... but that's ok - my own backyard is pretty cool! Mom and Dad take me for tons of walks... I've even started jogging with them!  (Mom says she wants me to run a 5K with them this fall... we'll keep you posted! )
I've also become the official guard dog for all the gardens on our property! My days are filled with chasing squirrels and chipmunks out of the tomato plants and cucumbers. And my nights are busy in the window barking at raccoons, deer and bears that try to steal our corn and pumpkins!! 
So just because I'm not out on tour this summer doesn't mean that I'm not busy! I never realized everything that goes on here all summer while I'm away!!
