Conversation

 Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Today Cyrus and I had a conversation. We talked about squirrels! And Dogs! And snacks from the humans!

And Walks and cats and leashes and comfy beds and small young humans! 

And whether, when we find animal poop, it's best to roll in it, pee on it, or eat it! (I say all three are best!)

Cyrus asked me if his stick was the same as a tree. I said I wasn't sure. But does it matter? 

Do you ever have conversations, friends?

Where I came from (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Way out there, across the water, and keep going for a long, long way, is where I came from.

I have now been here for longer than I was ever there.

Sometimes I smell something that reminds me of that place, long, long ago. Sometimes I think about the first family that I had, and I wonder what they are doing. If they ever wonder what happened to me. If they hope I'm okay.

First family, I do not know why you did not want me any more, or why I spent all that time living on the streets and then in the shelter, but I forgive you.

First family, if we had not parted ways I would never have met my forever family, and I would not be living in this amazing place. On an island, surrounded by water, covered in mountains and forests. With Cobi and my people, who have loved me and played with me and fed me amazing meals for almost three years now.

First family, I hope you are doing well, and I hope you are happy. Because I am very happy, and I would not change a thing. (Except for maybe adding a second breakfast to the day. That would be good.)

Mystery of the Beach (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here! Today was Beach Day!

Today I observed something interesting. Sometimes there is a lot of Beach, and sometimes there is only a little bit of Beach. Why is this? Why does the Beach get bigger and smaller?

(Cobi doesn't know either. She says this is a Great Mystery of Nature.)

Today there was Medium Beach. Many rocks to run on, but no sand showing. The sand only shows when the Beach is very big.

Even though there was no sand it was still was okay - there was still enough room for me!!
I love Beach Day!
