Uncle Don, Aunt Gail, Ted, Scott and Kate all went to Hawaii yesterday. As usual, they sent Pepper over to stay with us!  Frankly I don’t see why Pepper shouldn’t go to Hawaii too. Just another example of our "dogist" society. But don’t get me started.  Pepper is here so I guess there are benefits to "dogism" too.  The prince snapped this photo of Miss P. , so you can see what I’m talking about:

It’s so great to have another canine here!  We get to run around together, and jump on the sofa, and all kinds of fun stuff.  I’ve been giving Pepper some "voice lessons" to get her bark a bit louder. I think Ted will be very impressed with her improved ability to "project" her bark. 

Kate’s playing in a volleyball tournament in Honolulu, so that’s her reason for being there. I’m not exactly sure what excuse Ted and Scott have for being over there….  They are probably doing some volleyball consulting.  Anyway, I’m just happy to have my old pal Pep over for a good long visit.
