Well, the next day, another bee chased me. I ran into the house and hid. I stayed in for a while after that. I can't believe bees are already out. Mama said if bees are out, snakes could be out. Yikes!
Mama found out some surprising news yesterday. As you may know, Mama works from home. She has worked from home for 16 years. The first ten years she had a great paying job and she even had her own business for 14 years. The past six years have been tough. The great paying job went away and the economy caused her business to close. Six years ago she started working for company "A". She worked for them for a little over a year and they sent the job to India. She immediately started working for company "B". It's the exact same job except the pay is not good. Mama loves the work though and the hours are very flexible. Well, she found out yesterday that company "A" has purchased company "B". ::::sigh::: That can't be good. She figures it's just a matter of time before her job ends. Remember back in November, she had three jobs. Well, one job ended and they are still processing her paperwork on the other one. Maybe the other one will start when her current one ends? Mama says life is full of changes and we just need to go with it. At least she will be not loosing a big salary this time.
Mama was happy to hear that other people have seen the type of collar that she made Scout. She made me one and Daddy said it definitely pulls tighter on me when I pull. He said that's a good thing. I'm not so sure about that. She purchased more hardware, so it looks like more collars are headed our way.

Tell your Mama I'm really sorry about her job situation. I've had to do things like that too, and the income never seems to go up.
ReplyDeletePS- biting bees is not a good hobby.
It sure is nice seeing you enjoying the deck, and I'm glad the bee incident didn't result in any stinging and swelling. I'm impressed you caught it with your mouth! I'm too am sorry to hear about your Mama's job situation. Things like this are always so scary. Thinking good thought and you're in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteBees are not for eating! Miss Veil is terrified of all insects and will run to the door to get in the house, if she sees or hears even a house fly. Sorry about your mom's work, doing the same work for less money is sure not right.
ReplyDeleteWell done mate! Fancy there being bees at this time of year! And snakes!! You really get snakes where you are? We have the occasional adder on the moors buy they are pretty rare. Anyway far too cold at the moment! Deccy x
ReplyDeleteAnd when there are bees..there are ticks, fleas and mosquitoes! Sorry about your Mama's job..hopefully something will come along.
ReplyDeleteWe are glad you spat out that bee, they are very scary things and can be very dangerous in your mouth.
ReplyDeleteLet your mum and dad get rid of the bees for you Joey!
