I Love My Deck!

The best part of the new house is the deck. I spend most of my deck enjoying it. Mama laughed at me yesterday because it was cloudy and only 50 degrees. I didn't want to come in and Mama kept telling me that I was letting all the cold air into the house.

"What Mama? I can't hear you."

Do I look cold? I don't think so.

Awwww.....my wait staff (Mama) has brought me a frosty treat to make my day complete.

A Few Photos Of Our House

Mama says we can only show photos of the rooms in our house that our clean, so here is our living room.

That is Scout laying on the couch. She pounced on the couch as soon as we took the throw off for the photo.

When the folks saw the house for the first time, they hated the paint color in the living room. They now like it. They said they wouldn't have chosen it, but it doesn't look bad with our stuff.

It's a small room, but we are a small family so it works for us.

I will post other photos as the rooms are cleaned. LOL

Goldie Is Home!

I was shocked when Daddy told me to look outside. Goldie is home! I thought she was sold with the house. Daddy said she was being stored at my uncle's house and now she is home. Guess what? Goldie is taking us camping this weekend! I'm so excited. I wanted to sleep in Goldie last night, but Mama said no.

We didn't do a lot this weekend. Mama had a migraine on Saturday. She and I laid on the couch and watched Parking Wars most of the day. It was a cold and very windy day, so it was a good day to snuggle on the couch.

Yesterday, Goldie came home. Daddy cut the grass and Mama went to the store. She stopped at this place near us that is a pig/hog farm and they sell the meat right there. It's self service which seems a little odd, but they've been in business for years. Mama bought some bacon and spare ribs. We had some bacon for breakfast and it was good and we are going to try the spare ribs tonight. Mama says she will stop by and buy some other meat for our camping trip. They have brats and other things, but not pork steaks which is disappointing.

Daddy said he thinks some cows or other livestock are going to be moved into the field across the road from us. He said the farmer put up an electric fence this weekend. We would rather have animals than houses to look at, so we are fine with that.

Mama took a few photos of us in our yard this morning. Here is Scout. She is still wearing her Valentine's Day collar. She really needs to change into something more appropriate.


Here I am in my camouflage collar. I call it my camping/country collar.

It's Been A Busy Week

We've had quite a busy week in our new home. Daddy went back to work on Tuesday and Mama did get the spare room organized. It still has boxes in it, but it doesn't look a mess anymore. Wednesday, Mama set up her office and then she went to town. We are only six miles from town. Thursday, I had to go to the vet for my yearly check up. The vet said I was one handsome hound and my teeth didn't need to be cleaned, so Mama was very happy about that. We've been working hard on them and I have the typical greyhound's teeth. Scout went to the vet with me for moral support. She got on the scale and has lost four pounds! She was pretty proud of herself. Scout's teeth look great. I keep saying that she is really not a greyhound. After we got home from the vet, Daddy installed our new microwave. Friday, Mama started looking for a new job. She still has one but now that she has high speed Internet, she can find something that pays better. She loves her job, but the pay is really bad. Her battery back up for the computer stopped working, so that caused her stop looking for work. It sounded like an excuse to me, but I was fine with it. Friday afternoon, we did more work around the house. Mama pulled weeds and then cleared out a spot on the carport to park her car before the thunderstorm hit. It seems to storm a lot here. We had snow at the hotel and now storms here. It's just not fair. That's basically our week in a nutshell. We've worked hard, but we've had some good couch sitting time, too.

Do you want to see a few photos? This is our front yard as seen from my view on the couch. Mama and I love sitting on the couch and looking at the field. Today, we saw a red fox run by. We thought it might get the neighbor's chickens, but it didn't. We have a ton of traffic here though. We have a feed store down the road and also an equipment place and both of those result in a lot of activity.

Here's another view of it looking down the road.

Our backyard is pretty big, but it has a big shed in the middle of it. Daddy says the shed makes up for only having an one car garage and a carport. Mama would rather not have it in the center of the yard, but we think it makes it more like a race track going around it.


We have steps going from the deck to the yard, but we don't use them. Mama says that since I jump steps instead of walking down them properly, I will hurt myself and Scout, well, Scout doesn't do more than three steps. Daddy is going to make us a ramp or something to fix the situation and then things will be easier for Mama.
