I've Been Here 6 Months!

Today is my 6 month anniversary of living here.(The above photo is me coming home for the first time.)  It's really gone pretty fast considering everything that has happened to me.  I had my surgery a month after moving here.  I stayed in the hospital for ten days.  Then, I wore that silly cast for 6 weeks and then I had to wear that even sillier bandage for 3 weeks.  Mama and I had battles over me taking medicine, but now I love peanut butter, so it's not an issue anymore.

I don't think we are doing anything to celebrate.  Daddy is in Los Angeles this week. I wanted to go, but he said I wouldn't pass for luggage.  Mama said we can break open the big dog sampler pack that we got from Best Bully Sticks last week tonight to keep us entertained since we really miss Daddy when he is away.

We did go to the park yesterday. We saw deer and I got really excited over them. They were shaking their white tails at me.  They reminded me of bunnies with their white tails.  We walked in two different area of the park, so that was really fun.  The new area had all sorts of new smells and Scout and I could have stayed there all day.  We hope the weather remains good so we can go back next week.

Sundays Are Fun Days!

Sundays are usually the best day of the week for me.  Saturdays are good, but the folks usually go somewhere without us.  Sundays are usually family days.  We spend the day together and most of the time we go the park.  We are getting ready to go to the park, but we are waiting for the temperature to go up a little.  It's 36 degrees and windy.  I'm ready to go, but Mama said we need to wait a little longer. 

Yesterday, Mama and Daddy brought home a fireplace.  It's actually for the motor home, but we are going to use it until we are ready to go camping.  Daddy has been talking about getting one for the motor home for a while and Mama didn't pay much attention until they went to the RV show last week. She loved how they looked in the RV's.  We have the perfect spot for it in the motor home.  We will use it instead of our space heater.  It's electric.

Here it is in our house.

The mantle clock was my Grand Dad's.  He died 25 years ago this year.  Mama has never had a place to put it until now, but this is just temporary since the fireplace will be moved in March.   The mantle on their old fireplace wasn't wide enough for it.

Remember the blanket that Mama got for Christmas?  It's behind me in these pictures.

Mama received a coupon code the other day and wanted to pass it on.

Darn Bunnies!

As you know, we have a lot of trouble with bunnies here.  We wouldn't have trouble if Mama would let me off leash.  I know I could catch them.  I can get within two feet of them and then they move.  If I wasn't on a leash...well, they wouldn't be laughing at me.  I would show them how fast a greyhound really is.

Last week, there was snow on the ground.  Scout was outside in the enclosure and she was barking.  Daddy was outside watching her and Mama asked who was barking because we are not allowed to bark.  Daddy said it was Scout and Mama was amazed that Daddy was allowing her to bark because he really does not like us to bark.  He said she was barking at the rabbit.  Daddy then did something really amazing.  He took some snow and made a snowball and then he threw it at the bunny and hit it.  LOL  That bunny didn't know what had happened.  The bunny ran into our shed.  Mama was amazed because Daddy was on the deck and it is a pretty good distance to the bunny. 

 The shed that the bunny ran into.

 This is the bunny.  It's not a good photo because it was taken from the deck and it's pretty far away.

 Me watching that darn bunny!

Scout and I being teased by the bunny.  Mama threw rocks at him, but she didn't scare him at all.  We definitely need another snowball to get him.

Bully Sticks Are Here!

They're here!  They're here!  The bully sticks are here!  Mama also ordered us a variety pack for big dogs. We should be occupied for a while now. 

Life is good!

We Have Lights!

What are they attached to?

The Greyhound Expressway, of course!  Scout is a little scared going out at night, so Mama thought lights might help her.  We have a light that comes on when we reach the bottom of the ramp, but we have to get there first.  We don't have a good place to put electric lights, so the folks bought us solar rope lights.

Our four day weekend has come to an end.  We had fun. We didn't do a whole lot, but we were with both Mama and Daddy and that's always fun, well, almost always.  We did go to the park on Sunday.  We didn't walk as much as we did the week before because Mama felt I overdid it.  We only did one lap around the campground this time.  I wanted to do more and even Scout wanted to walk more, but Mama said NO.  We drove around and saw all the other dogs that were walking.  I whined, of course.  I always whine when I see other dogs.  Heck, I whine whenever I ride in the car.  I drive Mama crazy with my whining.  I drive Daddy crazy with my drool.  I have a tendency to shake my head and drool flies in the car.  He is not amused. 

Any tips to help me stop whining?
