Farley here,
If you’ve been reading, my life as a dog has changed recently. I’m a mountain dog. I used to be a boat dog. Mountains dogs are touch, rugged creatures who protect their humans from all kinds of dangers. Yup, that’s me. Tough guy. The only drawback . . . I get put to work.
September has arrived along with cold temperatures. I love the cold. On the boat, I was usually too hot. Now I hang out outside and enjoy the cool temps.
But just so you don’t get the wrong impression, I’m a working dog.
My human, Matt, collects wood – this is hard work involving axes and saws and other tools I’ve never seen before.
Then he chops the wood. I think he uses a splitter.
My job is also hard work. I get the kindling ready.
The next steps boggles my mind. Look what they do with the wood.
These humans are crazy. It’s fab being cold and what do they do? They heat up the house, so I head outside and enjoy my deck.
Woof Woof.

Too bad they don’t have a nice furry coat on them. Their skin is so bare no wonder they are cold.

I’ll buy them a fur coat, or they can make one next time Kristina grooms me. Then we won’t need the fire.

Dear Farley,
Glad you are able to help get the kindling wood ready for the fire. When it gets a lot colder outside, you’ll be happy about the fire.
Have fun being your sweet tough mountain dog self.

Farley, once the snow starts flying you’ll understand why your humans burn wood!
