The Barefoot Contessa Tells All....

Let me tell you a few things that my Mom might omit!

Hi G-Fans!

Hi, it is Tessa today (AKA: the Barefoot Contessa).  I begged my Mom to let me have a go today on the blog.  I have a few things to say about the goings-on the last few days.  Maybe longer.  We'll see how it goes....

A few items I would like to cover...

-Today's Walk
-The walk yesterday

-Gabriella as a visitor

-The Beach walk Bertie and Gabby (she hates it when I call her that) went on

-All the fussing and fuming in general

*  Today we had a lovely long walk deep in the woods and I was positively woozy from the smells.  I had to have my head held up away from the ground just so I could keep my legs from going out from under me.... I could smell so many smells it was just crazy.  Horses, dogs, people, raccoons, squirrels, birds, deer, mushrooms, rotting leaves, pine needles, bicycle tires and so many things I don't even know the names of!  We saw another dog with its people, a hiker and a friend that is a friend to our assistant concierge.  And we rode around doing errands both before and after... so exciting!  We even stopped at a really busy McDonalds to get Mom's concierge's bag full of stuff that Gabriella's concierge took up North by mistake.  That bag went on a trip all by itself!  Apparently, there were very important things in that bag....!  At the end of our walk, however, we had to figure out a way to avoid the big four legged animals that were waiting to get carted up.  I think they were cooling down after a four hour adventure in the woods.  So, in order to not spook those animals, we waited for the vehicle to come get us a bit down the way....

*  Yesterday we did a bicycle path and trail and met up with a bicycler and runner.  At the end of the walk we had to wait for a bunch of sled dogs to get put into their van.  We waited.  And we waited. And waited.  Finally it was necessary for us to change our plans and have our vehicle brought up the road so we could go home and not freeze to death!  We still don't know why it took those animals so long to get into their vehicle.  We are all set in less than five seconds... that's for five of us... a second per dog.... at most those sled dogs should have taken 10 seconds according to my calculations.  Maybe they have to cool down like those other animals...?

*  Gabriella left yesterday morning.  I don't think I need to say more.

*  The day before Gabriella left she took Bertie and went to the beach to walk.  They splashed in the water, ran on the sand, and chased things.  Bertie told me ALL about it.  I wish I had my chance to spit pieces of cat food, plastic and pens all over the place.  Oh, wait a minute, I did that!!!  I feel better already!

*  My mom seems to like to have a beef with just about everything.  Me, I like to chill.  I either like to hang and relax or play hard.  I probably would like to sleep in a bit more than we do here.  And, perhaps, sleep in the inner chambers once in awhile.  The cookies are good (more would be better).  The food is good (more would be better).  The lovins' in good (more would be better).  The company is good (it is just right).  So, not much to complain about in my book.  Roll with the good times and hang tough through the hard ones.... which there don't seem to be very many.

So, I think my mom might encourage you to chill in a good way for the rest of your day!

Ciou!

This is me hoping that Raphael doesn't have gas since his butt is right in my face and his tail is whipping the wind around at a rapid rate and I am wondering why I am not getting a treat yet... Instead the concierge is taking pictures.....

This is me wondering if Snagglepus is a dog or a cat....

This is my pensive look.

This is after hearing a good joke.

This is Harry and I waiting for Gabriella and her concierge to come in....
