A Surprise On Our Walk This Morning

The weather has turned quite cool here.  :-)  It was so cool that Miss Scout decided she would join us on our second walk of the day.  I am glad she went because otherwise she would have missed what we encountered.
"What the heck?"

Do you see it?  Probably not.  We only had our cell phone with us.
It was two foxes chasing each other  They probably did at least five loops running all around.  We were pretty excited.  We have been pretty bummed about the lack of wildlife here.  There is like one squirrel, a lot of geese, a few ducks and the fake swans.  Yes folks, those swans are FAKE!  We noticed that they always stayed in the same spot and then we saw birds sitting on them.  BOL!

We laid in the sun after we returned from our walk.
Last night, Mama took the toys we had in storage out for us to check over. 


We found that many of them needed repairs.  Since we have some toys that we don't play with, Mama decided to take their squeakers and fix the toys we like.


The squeaker donors.  Since the pig has 16 squeakers, we were able to save the other donors for later.
The squeaker recipients.  They were cut open, new squeakers were put in and then they were stitched back up.
Then the worst possible thing happened to them.
Yep, they took a spin in the washing machine. They are still in there.  GULP!

  1. We're praying that your toys make it through the washing machine okay. Those brave souls that donated their souls for your favourites will be remembered.

  2. Okay, but Joey, you and Scout need to be nice to the mended toys.

    Every time I've mended a favorite toy, one of my dogs has gone straight for the mended spot to rip it open.

  3. Foxes are so cool to watch. I always want to go sniff them, but MOM won't let me. Mean MOM. Hope the toys can hold their breath for a long time.
    Blessings,

  4. Foxe's are so cute. Please keep us updated on the stuffie situation. Hope they didn't drown in there.

  5. Glad you found some wildlife to keep you busy. Hmm, we didn't know there are squeaker donors and recipients. It is just like an episode of Casualty!

  6. I hope the toys make it back out alive, and that they don't get laryngitis right away with their new voices.

    You saw foxes?! Oh, Flattery and I would love to have an experience like that! My bet is that Flattery would lose her nut and do her very best to take off after them.

  8. Hi Y'all!

    Since I'm readin' in the wrong direction, I was wonderin' where the donor sqeakies came from for the transplants.

    Y'all come by now,
