September Update

JEDI MIND TRICK
Lately Keeley has been doing this weird thing. He will sit right in front of me and stare into my eyes. I don't know what he's trying to do. Have a staring contest with me? Hypnotize me? Use doggie telepathy? I don't know! It's very strange and almost creepy sometimes. He looks mildly ticked off the whole time too. It last for about 5 minutes; then I guess he gives up or loses interest and walks away. What is he trying to tell me?

CONSTRUCTION OBSTRUCTION
The city has begun work replacing the Highland Bridge. It's in desperate need of repair but it sorta sucks because now Keeley and I can't walk our normal "Miller Loop". In addition, they've also re-routed all the buses that used to use the bridge. The problem with that is that Keeley is scared of buses. The buses are everywhere. They got routed right up our street even. I timed it and at least 12 buses now go past our house every hour. So Keeley has been doing a lot of barking lately. He'd better get used to it though since this construction is supposed to last a whole year!

CHECK IT OUT
Keeley is one of the featured pets up on www.sitstay.com right now. My boy is a star!

NO SISTER FOR KEELEY THIS YEAR
First Keeley was supposed to get a sister in spring of this year, but that turned out to be a false pregnancy. Then it was supposed to be in fall, but we just found out that the mating didn't take. Bummer, huh? I guess Keeley will have to wait till next year to finally get his long awaited sister.

SQ's
Keeley has been chasing squirrels like crazy lately. He's been coming pretty darn close to catching a few of them too. It got to the point where his grandma and I didn't want to even say that word around him because it would get him all worked up. His grandma invented a code word for squirrels and started calling them "SQ's" when she was talking to me. Unfortunately, I ruined it because I kept calling them SQ's in front of Keeley. Guess we have to come up with a new code word now.

Well, that's the update. Now all I have to do is catch up on blog reading!

Code words work great until we dogs figure them out, and figure them out we do!

Sorry about the buses, Reilly is that way about big noisy trucks, especially on our walks, they make him bark and jump like crazy.

Hey Keeley,

I stare at my Mom too! Don't know why I do it, but I do. You sure have been busy lately. Construction is no fun at all, while you don't like the busses, I don't like the elevated train here in Chicago. When I walk under the tracks and the train comes by it is so LOUD! Hopefully, they will finish up construction on the bridge real soon!

I'm sorry that you won't be getting a sister this year. Maybe it is meant to be, and you wil end up with a perfect companion next year! Maybe you can catch a squirrel and you won't be so sad about not getting a sister just yet.

BTW: You are a Star! I'm so honored to be riends with a famous pooch!

Your pal,
Kirby
