Memorial Day

We are back home. We came a little earlier than planned because it's supposed to rain most of the day. The weather man said no rain until Sunday night. This is what we woke up to Saturday morning. I really don't know why we believe the weatherman. He lies all the time. He will even say that it happened just like he predicted.



The people next to us were in tents and they came out soaked. They had a dog with them and he came out soaked, too. It didn't look like fun and they left early Saturday morning.

The park had a lot of standing water and a lot of the kids were mud wrestling in it. Scout said it looked fun to her. I liked watching the kids play in the water, but I didn't want to get near it. Scout did get in the river twice. She just wants lie in the river.

We had lots of celebrations this weekend. Friday was Aunt Pam's birthday. We had cake and ice cream. Sunday was Mama and Daddy's wedding anniversary. They have been married 23 years. Yikes! That's a long time. They went out for a steak dinner last night and brought me and Scout back a little of it. It was really good.

Here is a photo of me and Grandpa. He didn't give me any treats this weekend. I don't know why. I was very good.

Everyone in the family but Grandma, Grandpa and us left yesterday. They were scared of the rain. It got muddy, but it wasn't bad. We left early today since rain was predicted for most of the day.

We are only home for a few days and then we are headed out for vacation.

Mama is headed to the laundromat. Our washing machine and our refrigerator both died last week. She has not been happy about it.

Have a nice day!

Memorial Weekend

We are busy getting ready for our family camping trip. When I say family, I mean F-A-M-I-L-Y. There will be 16 of us. Grandma & Grandpa, aunts, uncles and 7 skin cousins. We get a lot of attention from the cousins. The only problem is that they have trouble telling us apart. Mama says there is an easy way to tell Scout and I apart. No, it's not the way you think. You would think they would figure out the way you are thinking, but they haven't and we really don't want them checking underneath us all weekend and talking about it. It would get out of hand and the youngest cousins are not quiet. They like to yell. Can you imagine how embarrassing that would be for us?

The way you can tell us apart is that Scout has a white tip on her tail. I'm starting to get a gray tip, but it's not as noticeable as Scout.

Grandpa always gives special treats while camping. I'm licking my lips just thinking about it.


I probably will not be able to update you while we are camping. There is very limited cell phone service there. The teenage cousins say that if you lay in the middle of one of the roads, you get a connection. We haven't tried that and we don't plan to. The teenage cousins go through a texting withdrawal when we camp. LOL

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Happiness is....

...sharing a laugh with Mama.

Relaxing In The Sun

We have had some really nice sunny days recently. I have been enjoying laying on the deck. Yes, the deck that Scout peed on. Mama had a long talk with both of us yesterday about that. I don't know why I had to listen to it, but I had to.

Question For My Fur Friends

I need a jury of my peers to answer a question for me. Okay, here it is. Is it okay to pee on the deck? It's outside, right? It's wood. So, what's the big deal? I told Mama I had to go outside and she didn't take me. She opened the patio door and Jack ran into the screen door and bounced off. He thinks he is the smart one. LOL In his defense, we normally don't have the screen door closed, so he didn't expect it to be closed. I then went outside. Later, Jack and I came in and I heard Mama say "WHO PEED ON THE DECK?" I didn't say I did it, but she said I looked guilty. Do I look guilty to you?

No, I don't think I look guilty. I think I look bored. This place is boring! I'm ready to hit the road camping. So, do any of you pee on the deck? It's the first time I did it. Jack peed on the firewood on the screen porch once. That's a lot worst if you ask me.

Scout,
Who feels if you are outside, let it flow.
