It's One Mystery After Another

Last week, we saw this on our road during one of our walks. Mama wondered what it was. She saw it several times and just couldn't figure it out. No, she didn't pick it up like she should have the first time she saw it.


Imagine her surprise when she saw this in the washing machine.

It actually kind of freaked her out. What was it and how did it end up in the washing machine?

It was then that she remembered the last thing she washed were her tennis shoes. Sure enough, there was a spot on the bottom on the tennis shoe where the piece fits.

We then set out on a walk to find the other one that was left on the road. It took us a long time to find it. Scout actually found it. Mama gave her a lot of praise. Whatever!

Mama super glued the pieces back on. She super glued her fingers to her shoes, too, but maybe I'm not supposed to mention that. She said some bad words because she really didn't know if she could get her fingers off without leaving some skin behind. Ouch!

So, that mystery has been solved. You just never know what exciting thing will happen here. LOL

Our Surprise Was A Bigger Surprise For Mama

Mama was really excited yesterday because she said the UPS man was bringing us a big surprise. He finally arrived and left this box for us.

Oh, it's a new bed. Who gets it?

Mama is upset because there are supposed to be a bed for each of us. The packing slip is correct and the UPS site states there were two boxes, so we think one box was left on the truck. We hope the UPS man comes to visit us on Monday.

In the meantime, we don't know who should use the bed.

I'm using my old bed.


Scout is on the couch.

The new bed is empty.

Oh, okay, I'll try out the new bed. I don't think I can sleep on it though. What do you think?

We Have A Mystery On Our Paws

A few weeks ago, Mama made stepping stones for us and for Barney and Sami. Barney was her cat and Sami was her dog who died before I arrived. Here is Sami's stone while it was drying.


Here is the mystery. Look at this photo. Notice anything missing?

Yeah, see most of the starfish is missing. We looked all over and it's not in the garden. Do you think a raccoon took it? Maybe that nasty copperhead? LOL Nah, not the copperhead, but we are wondering if an animal took it. Is there an animal that eats starfish? The part that is remaining is really stuck in there and Mama thought she had the rest of the starfish in deep. You can tell that it left a deep impression.

We have a raccoon that has been causing Mama problems. If she doesn't take the hummingbird feeders in at night, he empties them or steals them. He even knocked her cactus plant off the deck. She hopes that the cactus stuck him for doing that. So, she thinks it might be him, but I'm not sure. What do you think?

Mama loves saving money and loves using coupons. This site has great tips and links to coupons. We are not getting paid to say this. We just like the site. :-)

Stuffies Get Repaired

Daddy was able to fix our air conditioning Wednesday evening, so we only camped for about three hours. We didn't even get any special treats like we do when we camp. :-(

The only thing exciting that has happened was yesterday. The kitchen faucet broke. What is up with this house? Mama and Daddy built it 5 1/2 years ago and everything seems to be breaking now. Mama and Daddy were cleaning the stove which takes a while if you really clean it. It's a Viking cook top and they took it all apart to clean up all the grease. Mama hates doing it. Mama loves the cook top because it has a griddle and a grill, but it is a pain to clean. They then took down the exhaust fan and cleaned it. Anyway, Mama was busy washing everything and didn't notice the water coming out of the kitchen cabinet underneath the sink. It was a mess. Daddy is going to replace the hose on the faucet. It's one of the faucets where the sprayer is built into the faucet itself. We can use it, but can't pull it out for the sprayer.

Today, Mama decided to do surgery on our stuffies that have been on the injured list. Some of the stuffies used to grunt, but now they squeak because she couldn't fix the grunters. We have one that received a new grunter that sounds really funny. She had a few spare squeakers and she used those and then took squeakers out of the stuffies that we never play with. We were not as impressed as she had hoped.

Here Scout is waiting for the repairs to be made.


These are the stuffies that we haven't seen for months because they were waiting for repairs.


It's getting ready to storm. Scout and I both have our Storm Buster shirts on. We are ready!
