New Stuffing For Beds

Yesterday, Mama put new stuffing in our beds. She would like to buy us new beds, but said in these tough economic times we need to make do with what we have. Mama is normally pretty frugal, but when it comes to us, she likes to spoil us.

Scout cried when Mama took her bed and started putting stuffing it in. I didn't see the big deal until Mama took my bed. It's like an invasion of our privacy or something.

Scout didn't like her bed at first because it was so fluffed up. I thought it was great and jumped right on it. Last night, Scout seemed very happy with her fluffy bed. What do you think?



Mama said she needs to wash our beds, but she didn't want to freak us out too much in one day.

Oh, the vet said that Mama can give us both another dose of our heart worm preventive. She said there is no danger in overdosing.

Daddy's Home!

Daddy came home earlier than we expected last night. Scoutie walked into the bedroom and there he was. She came in the living room with him smiling as big as she could. I guess she thought she found him or something. Today, she wanted Daddy to walk her instead of Mama.

Daddy fixed our refrigerator. He's the man! He had to put a new part on it.

We are playing a game with Mama. She gave us our heart worm medicine on yesterday. She thought she saw both of us chew it up, but one of us spit it out on the carpet. She found the pill today. She thinks that it was Scout who didn't take it, but she can't be sure. Scout is usually really good about taking pills. I normally am more difficult, but she she is pretty sure that she saw me chew it up, but she also thought Scout chewed up hers. She said she will call the vet on Monday and find out if she can give us both another pill or what he recommends. She said she will make sure this does not happen again. I'm not sure what she plans to do, but I'll keep you posted.

Daddy's Coming Home Tonight

Daddy comes home tonight, but it will be late. Scoutie and I are just hanging around waiting for him. As you can see, she has taken over MY couch. We usually share it in the evening and Mama has to find some place else to sit.

Not much has happened except for the refrigerator dying. It's funny to watch Mama open it up only to realize that there is nothing in it. Daddy said he hopes the parts place is open tomorrow, otherwise we are not sure when he will be able to fix it. We are camping again next weekend.

We haven't been down the road so we do not know if the raccoon is still there. He may have drowned with all the rain we have been having. We saw a bunny hop across our driveway yesterday. We also saw a turtle cross the driveway and then this morning, there was a mole that ran across it. The driveway seems to be the place to be, doesn't it?

It's supposed to be a rainy weekend. Actually, it's supposed to rain all next week. The weather man said we are STUCK.

Daddy's Away

Daddy's away for work. It looks like it's going to be an eventful time without him. Mama cut the grass in our backyard because the grass was getting really tall. Daddy cut it last week, but with all the rain...it really grew. Mama said it's supposed to rain until next week, so she was scared that Daddy wouldn't be able to cut it this weekend. He doesn't like her to cut the grass. We are not sure why, but she says she doesn't like to do it anyway so he can keep the job.

Mama said there is a raccoon who is sitting along the road. She saw him when she went to the store today. She mentioned it to Daddy when he called tonight and he said it was there yesterday. He said we should not walk that way because the raccoon is either sick or hurt since he also saw it last night. Mama said a raccoon like that makes her nervous. Speaking of raccoons, one emptied out our hummingbird feeder last night. We will have to start taking the feeder in every night. We had to do that last year.

There was a bunny in our backyard. He's a silly bunny coming into our fenced area. He has all the fields and woods around here and he chooses our area. He's not very smart. I guess he doesn't know that greyhounds chase bunnies.

The big excitement of the night is that our side by side refrigerator has quit working. MAMA JUST MADE US FROSTY TREATS!!! She moved everything to the old refrigerator and freezer, so we should be okay. Scout and I supervised the moving of everything, but especially our frosty treats. Daddy will look at it when he comes home. He said he may be able to fix it. The compressor is not wanting to start. It's only 4 years old and Mama said we really cannot afford to get a new one.

I guess that's it from here. Wow, I had a lot to say today.

Greyhounds on CBS Morning Show

Did you see the greyhounds on the CBS Morning Show this morning? April is Adopt A Greyhound Month.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the greyhounds on TV.



I was so disappointed when they went to commercial. I love watching TV and if you put a greyhound on there, watch out!

Mama found the link from the morning show! Doesn't this dog look just like Scout? Yikes, there are two of them! Click on the picture to see the clip.

Hope you enjoyed watching it as much as we did.
