In the last couple of weeks we have had a number of significant changes at my house. The Sunday before last my Mommy and Daddy went for a Sunday drive out to the Applegate Valley. There are lots of places where they sell the fruit of the vine in liquid form. As we were leaving Medford it started raining hard. But in the Applegate all was only cloudy.
We went to a number of places and Mommy felt bad for one of the vine juice selling guys (he only did the vine juice as a hobby) so she bought a bottle of the stuff. It was very pretty out in The Applegate. Everything was very nice and green and the mountains all around still had lots of snow.
We went up to Applegate Lake after Mommy bought the vine juice. The lake level was high and the lake was completely full. Daddy and I threw rocks into the lake. I was trying to fill it up with rocks but Daddy said that we didn’t have enough time and that we would have to come back some other day if we wanted to fill it. We left and I fell asleep in the car on the way back, along with Erica.
When we got home we had a phone call on the phone answering machine from the Medford Police. They said that they had our dogs – Cujo and Bear (Cerberus). The next call on the machine from Animal Control and it said they had our dogs. Sure enough, the dogs had chewed through the wooden front gate and escaped. They must have been chased by aliens who wanted to study them for their alien dog experiments to want to get away from our house badly enough to chew through the front gate. Daddy says he thinks it was lightening and thunder that scared them. He just doesn’t know that the aliens have after our dogs for a very long time. I don’t know how to make him understand that. I don’t think he is ready to hear that yet.
Daddy went to pick them up the next day but only came back with Bear. He said that Cujo was still at the State. The next day Daddy let the State be the mommy and daddy for Cujo. We won’t get to see her again because Mommy and Daddy say that once the State has you they never let you go. I will miss Cujo but I still have Bear.

Later that week Daddy took Mommy’s car in to the doctor. It was sick. For her car to feel better it would have cost a lot of money so Daddy told Craig’s list about the car. The next day they had it sold for almost the amount they were asking. I hope it wasn’t sold to the State. Mommy really misses that car already and we only just got rid of it yesterday. I miss that car too, but I think I’m going to really like our new one.

All was not lost. We did get a new addition to the family. Mommy and Daddy were having difficulty getting Erica and me in any of our cars to where we would still have any room left over for stuff or people. So Mommy talked Daddy into buying a new 8 passenger van. If any of you want to visit us, we can cart you around now without making you rent a vehicle. It’s a pretty nice car. They call it a Honda Odyssey or some such. I don’t know how to describe it except that the leather seats are comfortable – I wish I were old enough to get to sit in them. Here is a picture of our new family member.

I think your mommy and daddy need to watch this video.

That was the video that they said convinced them to go with a "swagger wagon" like vehicle. They aren't as cool and hip as the rest of us which is why it's a Honda and not a Toyota.
ReplyDeleteThe video makes me proud to have gone through the mini van years...you gotta own it! Jonathan, you probably need to give Mulder and Scully a call before something else bad happens.
