It's been a whole week ....

since I updated my blog!

Daddy made it back from his camping trip. He had a nice time. He brought back some fish, so we had a fish fry. It was so good! I LOVE FISH!!!!

Remember the beds that Mama ordered for us? Well, one bed is lost. We don't think it will be found, so Mama tried to order us another one and they are sold out. Doesn't that just figure? We are just sharing the new one for now.

Mama hurt her back yesterday, so Scout and I are trying to make her feel better. We got a bunch of our toys out last night and started squeaking them and tossing them in the air. Mama said it was like being at a parade with all the noise and things being thrown into the air. The living room looks like a parade has gone through it too because our toys are scattered all over. We know how to have a good time. LOL

We are supposed to go camping this weekend, so hopefully I will be able to update you on that. We haven't been camping since the beginning of June. We thought we were missing the hottest time of the year, but we have had very cool temperatures this summer. It will probably be hot just when we start camping again.

The Nerve!

You are not going to believe this! My Daddy went camping without me! He left Scout and Mama behind, too, but I cannot believe he left me.

Mama said that he took Grandpa on a fishing trip. Why couldn't I go along?

I'm just too upset to write more right now.

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?
