News for Riptide

Hey Wrigley!

What? I’m a bit busy.

Doin’ what?

Looking for Rosie. I want to lick her teeth while she growls at me. Cracks me up!

That’s not very nice! She has a birthday coming up, ya know! And she hates it when you do that.

Riptide, you are so naive! Rosie loves it when I pay attention to her. She’s just playing hard to get.

I don’t think so. I think it really bugs her. And what does ‘naïve’ mean? You darn border collies and your big words. Is that a name? I don’t get it…WAIT! Stop distracting me. I have something important I need to tell you.

Fine, my flirtations can wait…what’s up?

Flirtations??? Ugh! Never mind. Rumor has it that…that…gulp…Fringe is coming to visit.

Wrigley starts walking in circles…Rumor has it! Rumor has it! woooo! Rumor has it I’m the girl you’re leavin’ her for…

Wrigley! Did you hear me!!!?? Stop singing! Focus!

um, what? Sorry! I love that song. One of my favorites to howl with. What did you say?

I heard Brenna ask, “When is Fringe coming?” I think that means Fringe is coming to visit!

Oh, I knew that.

What! How did you know that and I didn't?

Because I told him.

Reba! Why did you tell him and not me?

I did tell you. I told both of you the other day. Too bad you couldn’t stop running around with that stupid Frisbee to listen.

UGH! I hate it when I miss stuff! When is she coming?

Today.

TODAY??? But I’m not ready. I have to find all of my favorite toys…and decide if I will share or not! And I have to hide the bones. And find a nice bed for her. And nap! I need to nap!! You know we will play for hours when she gets her. I’M NOT READY!! And then she will be gone. Our play dates are always way too short.

Dude. She’s not leaving today.

You really need to learn how to pay attention. I’m impressed Wrigley knows more than you this time.

What do you mean?

Dude. She’s coming for “summer camp”. That means that she is staying aaalllll summer, or for most of it anyway.

Really!?!! ALL SUMMER???? WOOOOO HOOOOOO! Rumor has it! Rumor has it!

Stop spinning. You look goofy. You’re not a border collie…

 oh. Sorry. I have so much to do! So much to prepare! So much to hide! Oh joy of joys!! This is the best day ever!!!!

Dude. Chill. Been there. Done that. My “Booga Booga Booga” skills are ready to go. I LOVE the look on Fringe’s face when I jump out at her! Yours is pretty funny too. haha haha haha

Oh Wrigley! You are such a goof! I am so excited! What about you Reba? Aren’t you excited? This will be so much fun! Me and Fringe! Fringe and me! Oh the adventures we will have. C’mon Reba, aren’t you excited too??!!??

Thrilled.
