Like my headline? Miss Julie groaned. I think it’s pretty good though! 

Last week we put out the fall decorations and put some mums and a pumpkin on the porch. We took out long-sleeved shirts and jackets. We even made a pot of soup Saturday night for supper. And Miss Julie wants to go to the mountains to see the leaves. 

Fall is my favorite time of year.  Want to hear why? Here are some of the things I love about fall. 

First, the weather. It’s perfect! For a puppy, it’s  great time to play outside because you can run and run and never get too hot… You can roll in leaf piles, listen to the leaves crunch under your paws.  It’s even fun to track leaves into the house, even if you get fussed at a little bit. But after you run around and play in the cooler air, you get to snuggle up in a cozy blanket and take a nap.

Fourth, I love football! We watch games on Saturday afternoon if we are at home and on Sunday afternoons after church. I think it’s the perfect game for a puppy! You get to throw a ball, which is easy to catch even if you don’t have thumbs and need all four of your paws to run… I can catch one end of a football in my mouth. Somebody throws it, and you get to chase it, and run with it. People yell for you when you catch it, which I enjoy, but I don’t think I would like to have a bunch of really big guys in heavy armor run after me to get the ball back, though. 

Fifth, even though I didn’t get to go this year, is the fair. I like to ride the rides play the games and see the bright lights on the midway and sniff the yummy food smells like corn dogs and French fries and those little mini donuts that are just the right size for yummy bite. You can meet farm animals and see all sorts of things. The rides are so exciting! My ears flop around in the breeze!  

Fall is a great time to be a puppy! 

It’s a time to enjoy special treats, fun activities, and watch the seasons change. 

Have a fun fall, y’all!
