ORION, THE BLOGGER DOG - Hellooooo Humans! It’s me, Orion LoBiondo, the only 4-legged member of the LoBiondo Family. As you know, my mom (you guys know her as “Mrs. Lo”) only lets me blog at the beginning of every season. Well, guess what, Mom? That’s right, it’s SPRING, so it’s my turn to blog this week! Spring is my very favorite season, along with Summer, Winter and Fall. More than anything else, I really enjoy my spring sports: tennis and swimming.
I don’t wanna brag but I happen to be one RAD tennis player! What? No, Mom, please this is my blog, you get to do your own blog every week, let me do it my way. Sooooo, my Mom says I am not really a tennis player because I don’t use a RACK-it, whatever that is. Who would want to use that stupid thing when the pure joy of tennis is running as fast as I can, leaping in the air and catching the tennis ball in my mouth when my brothers throw it to me! Tennis balls oh boy oh boy oh boy!! I am so excited thinking about it I am starting to drool! Literally!! I WILL clean it up, Mom, chillax.
Anyway, my brothers have started throwing the tennis ball to me already and I must say I have not lost my touch. No matter how far they throw it or how high I pretty much always catch that tennis ball. Who invented this game anyway, it’s the best?!
There’s only one thing that makes me happier than playing tennis and that is swimming! I love it when we go to our favorite (NAME DELETED) and I jump in the (ALSO DELETED) and swim out as far as I …. Um, Mom, why are you deleting stuff from my Blog?! What do you mean I’m not really supposed to be swimming in there, all the dogs do it! Well, that’s a stupid rule. And you and Poppa are lawyers, you should change that rule.
So I would like a new rule: dogs who are really good swimmers should be able to go swimming in any watering hole that we want!! Get to work on that, Mom and Poppa. (Humans, I don’t know what kind of law they are doing all day long but if they are not making the world a more fun place for dogs, they are probably just wasting their time.) But I digress …
The absolute BESTest of the Bestiest is when we combine swimming AND tennis! We go to the (DELETED BY MY LAWYER MOM), my family gets their fishing poles out, and then they throw the tennis ball into the water and I swim out and fetch it. Did I just use the words tennis ball, swim, and fetch in the same sentence?! Drooling all over Mom’s rug again, sorry, Mom! You can use my allowance to buy more paper towels.
So I am starting to be a teenager, I’m not a little pup anymore. In addition to being a varsity sports athlete and a great scholar (OK, I guard the backpacks on the way to school but you know, close enough), I am starting to notice the other, the um, how do I say …. OK I’ll just say it, I have a girlfriend! (Sorry, Mom I’m just drooling a lot today). She is sooooo beautiful and adorable with those long beagle ears and that sassy bark of hers! Her name is Abigail and she lives up the street from me. We face-bark each other all the time. Nooooo we don’t use iPhones!
I go to the edge of my yard and bark up a storm and she goes to the edge of her yard and howls back at me. It’s awesome. We could do that all day long and all night long. Until those vermin arrive, you know who I mean, those evil squirrels! The bain of my existence! You should see when Abigail’s family brings her to my house and we team up and chase the squirrels away together! We are such a dynamic duo, we are like Batman and Robin! What’s that? Oh, ha ha, Mom says we are more like Grammy and Grampy. Cuz we like to roll on our backs and smell the sweet grass the clover and gaze up at the sky! Hey, it’s important to enjoy the time we have together, isn’t that what you always say, Mom? Awwww, I love you too, Momma, and while you’re scratching my head can you get me behind the ears??!!
Isn’t life just grand, everyone?! Spring is here, time to enjoy my family and my sports, and team up with Abigail to chase squirrels, Life is Good!
Signing off for now, have a great Spring, I will blog again when Summer starts! Your friend -- Orion the Dog (Oh, and Momma says to have a great day and to Remember to Count Your Blessings!!!)
