A Full Report...(From Macy)

 Mom bought me a HUGE outside bowl for the cabin. 
It gets hot at Bull Shoals Lake in Missouri and Arkansas, but I seriously don't think I can drink it!  I'm for sure am not drinking it after she plopped me in it???
 I happened again!  I saw a rock with a head!!!
 I for sure didn't like it when that rock started moving...
 I finally got to go on the boat when Dad got to the lake. 
I was a bit embarrassed because my swimsuit didn't fit anymore. 
 But instead of feeling sorry for myself I taught my people how to play catch.
I stayed on the boat this time. 
I threw the ball to Katherine and she caught it.
Then she threw it back to me and I caught it. 
The lake was really high!  Trees, cliffs and islands were under water!!! 
Everyone got up before sunrise one morning.
 I alerted them that there was something in my yard! 
Three deer were eating my grass!!! 
 There were lots of birds at the cabin. 
Mom kept feeding them this yummy nutty smelling stuff. 
She wouldn't give me any???
I didn't like it when squirrels got on the deck and sat by our rock pile... 
 So I chased them off. 
This silly squirrel thinks I can't see him hiding in my tree.
Mom really liked these little yellow birds. 
I thought they were okay. 
The only birds I don't like are the giant black ones that made LOTS of noise.
 I never like it when Dad gets out of the boat by himself and Mom pulls him on a string.  It seems kind of dangerous to me.
 Check out my new swimsuit!  I got it just in time for going to the Buffalo National River for a float trip....I loved my new suit!  It fit perfectly.
 These were our boats.  I rode in the back of the big one.
Mom, Dad and Katherine saw a deer on the bank. 
I wasn't too impressed. It was much smaller than the ones I saw in my yard. 
 I made sure everyone knew about the raccoon walking down the bank. 
 The water was really clear and warm.  We had to go to deep spots to cool off.
 Ick!  Slimy things creep me out...
This was one hungry squirrel! 
The sun finally set on our month at the cabin.  Mom and Katherine read lots of books.  Mom revised 5 picture book manuscripts and worked on one chapter book manuscript.  We all did lots of eating, sleeping and swimming. 
It was a great time! 

I hope everyone has a great summer!

Are you doing anything special this summer???

    What a fantastic month you've had, such terrific adventures! The mom can't remember having a month off as an adult--except for a couple of times when she was between jobs and that wasn't exactly fun. LOL.

    As for us, we have every day off, of course, but certainly aren't doing anything exciting as you, Macy!

    Hi Macy,
    Yes, tis I, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star. My oh my, didn't you have a good time with your human family.
    And Macy, it's very good to see you have 'pawblished' a posting. Some very good writing here. Then again, I've always maintained us dogs are far better writers than those humans! :)
    Any hey, thanks for asking if I'm doing anything special this summer. Well, being famous, I shall be spending most of the summer, avoiding the 'Puppyarazzi'...
    Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, your way, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star xx

    Hi Macy .. wonderful - sounds like you had the most glorious time .. lots of interesting rocks, moving ones too, wildlife and sights to behold .. that dashing along on a rope behind the boat is a bit 'silly' isn't it - but those humans love it! Does Katharine do it too?

    Macy what a wonderful trip .. and I hope Ginger enjoyed her time too .. enjoy being home .. cheers Hilary

    So sweet! What a wonderful holiday you had! Thanks for the update, Macy. :) You look fab in your swimsuit.

    We just got back from Hong Kong. It's good to be back, but the trip was both too long and too short: too long away from my family in America, too short with my family in Hong Kong. :)

    Great photos! And I loved the descriptions underneath, especially the rock with a head, the deer eating "my" grass, and Dad pulling Mom on a "string." LOL Sounds like a wonderful time!! (productive too, with the working on the manuscripts!!)

    Haha ~ very fun photos Sharon! Cute!

    We aren't taking holidays until September. So then it feels like fall. Well now, the sad part is, that's only 6 1/2 weeks away. How come summer always goes so fast!??

    Hope you are having a good one!

    Hi Macy, Just dropped by to thank your mom for stopping by my blog and got to meet you which is really nice. I enjoyed the pictures telling about all you saw. Those were some strange characters you had to control and tell us about. I loved your new swimsuit. I bet my Rocky would really like to meet you. You could check each other out. Well take care of your folks and tell them I said have a great week.
