A Big Visitor!
As I have said before, we have all sorts of visitors at The Inn at Rooster Hill but I don't remember any being this big . . . or furry! While he was here, he ate all our plums and apples. He would just stand there shaking our trees and even broke the top off one. The other guests had to stay away from him and I also had to be super quiet while he was here. He didn't even pay - what a difficult guest! I was a little confused but Peggy said that he was a black bear and that black bears do not not need a bed and that they can find their own breakfast. I had noticed! There were a lot of people interested in our visitor. People from some place called the "Wildlife Department" were asking all sorts of questions. So exciting living near the Olympic Peninsula! Here are some photos of our guest. They are not very clear but you get the idea!
Peggy thinks he was about 800 lbs. I don't know what that means exactly all I know is he was reeeeally big! A bit of a coward if you ask me though. He ran whenever he would hear a noise. He left after a few days and maybe went home. People say he came down from the Olympic National Park and maybe lived near Hurricane Ridge. I am just glad I can run around and bark all I want now and he can think twice if he ever thought I was going to share any of my bacon!

Fun Friends
One of my favorite things about living at a bed and breakfast is meeting so many new friends. Well . . . also the bacon . . . I love the bacon! Peggy has been telling the guests not to feed me the bacon because I needed to watch my figure but some guests sneak me a little now and then. Shhhh don't tell Peggy!
As I was saying, I do love meeting so many new and wonderful people. A few weeks ago we had some nice visitors from a place called Georgia. I do not know much about that place I have never been there but it must be a nice place because my new friends live there. My friend's names are Madison and Hunter. They really liked exploring and I liked to listen to the stories they would tell about their adventures. One of the funny stories I heard was about how one day they went to Madison Falls. While they were there, Hunter fell in! The best part was when Hunter said it was funny to "fall into his sister's waterfall". You get it? . . . See aren't they funny?!
I do miss Madison, Hunter and their mom and dad. I heard that they got to hike Mt. Ranier after leaving. Maybe they will be able to come back and visit again and tell me some of their stories about that. Oh and even better - maybe they will come back to rub my belly some more! I hope you enjoy the photos of my friends!

finally a minute for Peggy to Blog for me
Okay so besides Bacon there is one other thing i love more than anything in the world, a Belly Rub
This year is definitely the year of the belly rub. People from all over the world come to rub my belly.
I find if i drop and roll right in front of them they just cant resist it. This week we had a family visiting us from Randolph, N.J. they have a dog and they were really missing it. So whenever I saw them coming back from the Park i would run up to them fall over and they would laugh and i would get the rub for a very long time. I then showed them my tricks at breakfast and then i got some more belly rubbing.
Then there was the family from Sioux Center Iowa they had two lovely young girls - and the girls had a bijon at home named Angel. They said that i did better tricks though and they played with me every day they were here. Now they are gone they had to leave early and catch a ferry to Victoria, i will miss them.
I am hoping to post a picture of my new friend oscar though. He came with his owner (layne and Peggy let her bring her dog). That was so much fun we ran around and around the tables and I think I wore him out. We played outside for a very long time. His owner was able to find trails and hikes that she could take him on. She found a guide book that had trails for people to take their pets on. I think he was just tired from all of the hiking he did. But i really liked him, the only problem we had is that he wanted the other guests to pet him. I dont allow that at this B&B because the guests are mine and so are the belly rubs. This looks like a busy week and i am sure there are more to come, I cant wait.

Some of our latest visitors
Lately Peggy has been a little behind on keeping up on my blog. I sat by her chair today here in the office and scratched at her arm and said please update my blog and tell everyone about the car club that was here this weekend and then how about the Family from Canada that came for the Victorian Ball.
So this last weekend we had a group come in that all drove these really cool cars. They were called Morgans. Traveling from Oregon up to Canada where they attended the annual Morgan car club. These cars are really neat, but i did notice there were no backseats which would be awful if you were a dog because you couldnt hang your head out like i can in the back of Peggys convertible.
I did my tricks for them all this morning but no one had any bacon left. This was a problem, as I really like bacon. Peggy bought these substitute low fat soft treats that are okay and I did the tricks for them, but really it was'nt anywhere near bacon.
I am going to put the picture of their cars up because they were really neat. I wish i could have had a ride.
Oh and lets not forget about that lovely family with those two beautiful young girls that loved to sit and pet my belly. Here to attend the Victorian ball by the historical society the very first year it has been held in Port Angeles. They were 13 and 16 and loved me. I bet they knew that they were coming to see me before hand because they knew my name when they got out of the car. They came downstairs ready to go to the Victorian Ball and looked so awesome in their gowns and said they had the best time.
Notice that I am getting another Belly Rub

my weight
I want to talk about my weight - yes my weight - Peggy keeps telling the guests to not give me bacon or sausage because of my weight. Now really living at a bed and breakfast demands you eat bacon. And if the guests give me some i will do all those tricks she taught me, which they love and then they laugh and pet me it is a win win. You must all help me and talk to her about this bacon thing okay?
Tomorrow I get my hair done and then i will look thinner.
Everyone around here is sprucing up the Inn for the summer season. I love the summer season you know all those wonderful people coming and going and petting my tummy.
Today it smelled so good - Peggy trying a new egg dish in the kitchen, although I did not get any I heard Layne say it was a keeper. I could have helped with that decision you know.
Well we will see if the haircut works, and if you would let Peggy know that a little bacon in exchange for some cool tricks is not a bad thing

My new friends
Bed and breakfast living is the best. Then add that to living in the Olympic Peninsula and you have the perfect place to be a dog.
This last week we had the best guests ever. My new friend here on the right was on his way to the Olympics. He was always ready for a belly rub though. I tried to convince him to stay a while but they had to go. He told me that he really liked it here and maybe next summer he would come back and his family could do some hiking in the National park.
They were from Oregon and they said that in order to get a place to stay they had to take the ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria. Then when they attended the Olympic events, they had to take a ferry to Vancouver each day to the events that they had ticktets too. I think they said they were going to get to see curling, downhill ariel, and the short skate (wow).
I am loving the Olympics, Layne and Peggy have been watching it every night and they have'nt noticed me on the couch as much. And Layne has been for sitting a long time and petting me. How much better can it get.

A new year
I am back to trying to blog again - many of you know that I received a very bad hair cut - so I would not allow my picture to be put on the internet until it grew out. Well I am beginning to look like my fluffy old self again and ready to get back to work.
Living on the Olympic Peninsula is so fun. This morning we had three deer in our front yard. Peggy kept trying to get me to chase them and get them off the property. I said "Are you kidding me? Last time I tried to do that, the one with all the fuzzy horns came after me. Besides, it’s raining. I’m going back in the house.”
Today we got in the car and drove out to Sequim. Peggy and Layne had to attend the Olympic Peninsula Bed and Breakfast Association monthly meeting. I got to sit in the car and eat the leftover French fries that I found on the floor in the back. After that I took a nap on the dashboard. It was so beautiful. We were at the most awesome bed and breakfast called Colettes. Wow, what gorgeous gardens and so private.
I love the winters here, especially this winter. It has been warm and wet and no snow (I don't like the snow.) Also I get to go to the Olympic National Park when it is like that. Although I can't get out of the car, I can ride and hang my head out and enjoy the beauty.
Well I have to run outside for awhile. I would love to hear back from some of you. So make sure to post back to me, okay?
I will be posting some pictures soon too.

My new Blog
Since this is all new to me. My first blog will be about the Crab Festival. Last weekend in Port Angeles, the city was just full of people. The buzz all around town and at the Inn was all about the Crab Festival. So Peggy and Lauren called me to car, and off we went.
Wow, the street fair was great—I couldn’t get my nose to focus on anything! I am going to post a few pictures so you can get the flavor of the local atmosphere. They said that they sold more crab than any other year and that attendance was way up. The vendors were great and you should have heard the music.
It was fun walking down by the water and having people stop and talk to me, and I met the cutest little girl. She was just my height.
Someday you will have to come and attend the Crab Festival. It is so fun.
Gotta go. I am hearing things about having to go get my hair done. (I must hide.)
