Happy Thursday

It's a nice cool morning here. Tomorrow it is turning hot and humid and Saturday will be 95, sticky with high humidity. What will we be doing? CAMPING! Our plan is to stay in the air conditioned motor home as much as possible on Saturday. We didn't even try to talk Daddy out of it this time. We are going to a state park that just re-opened and Daddy has been talking about camping there for 2 plus years. It is booked up for the rest of the season, so we are going no matter what. We would rather be home, but it will be okay. We have AC, hot dogs and Frosty treats.

I Need To Start Taking Notes At The Morning Meeting

I really don't remember Mama telling me not to mess up the bed at the morning meeting yesterday. She was not happy with me though when she found me on the bed. Oops!

Mama was quite disappointed with the turn out at the agents' open house. Our agent plus two people from his agency came. That was it. It was supposed to be people from all different agencies. If we would have known that, we wouldn't have gone to the motor home in a thunderstorm while they were here. She received an email this morning from the agent saying there were less than 20 people, but it went well. As Judge Judy says "Don't pee on my leg and tell me it is raining." Mama hasn't responded to the agent yet and is waiting to see all the comments from the agents that he said he is sending later today. It should be interesting.

We did get pizza last night and Scout and I got pizza bones. Yummy!

Morning Meeting

Does your Mama or Daddy have a morning meeting with you? No? Our Mama does. The morning meeting is very helpful because it lets us know what is going to happen during the day and what is expected of us.

(Here we are at the meeting this morning.)

At the meeting this morning, Mama told us that our house is going to be open for real estate agents to look at it today. We've been dreading this day, but soon it will be over. We were told that we need to pick up our toys, keep our noses off the windows and to eat our food so that Mama can wash our dishes and get them put away. Bissell will come out around 11 a.m. and clean the floors, the bed will be made and all our things will be hidden. We will go out to the motor home at 1 p.m. and watch TV until the agents leave. Mama said she may go to town after that and pick up a pizza for dinner because we deserve it after all the work we have put into the open house today. Also, storms are predicted for today, so we will have our "storm buster t-shirts" ready to wear.

I told you that the morning meetings are very informative. We would be hounds running around in a state of confusion without them.

I'm Tired Of All This Cleaning!

It was another weekend of cleaning here. I'm sick of hearing that vacuum run. Mama put our beds up on the big bed while she vacuumed, so I made myself comfortable. It's better than being on the floor and being chased by Bissell. I'll be so glad when we sell this place and we don't have to clean anymore.

I've Been Furminated....

....and I liked it!

What's a furminator? It's this thing.


See, some of my hair is still in it.

Mama read on Greytalk that some of the greyhounds were using it. She never thought of trying one since we have short hair, but I (Scout) shed while Jack doesn't. His hair is coarse and mine is very soft and thick. Mama enjoys being frugal, so she found one on Ebay because the one in the store was not in our budget. It was new in the package and was very reasonably priced, so she ordered it on Thursday and it arrived today.

Do you want to see how much hair I lost? Keep in mind that this is really only one side of me because well, I didn't feel like flipping to the other side and got tired of standing so Mama could do the other side.
Isn't it odd that it's grey hair? I'm a brindle after all. It claims to pull the dead hair, so I guess I'm grey underneath. I don't know. I do know that it was so relaxing having my hair brushed with it.

Jack was a little annoyed because he was laying in his bed and the ceiling fan caused some of my hair to fly into his face. Mama tried it on him and it didn't do much for him, so it's all mine to enjoy.

After my furmination, I had a Frosty Treat. Don't I look nice and shiny? Hmmmm.... well the photo doesn't show it, but I do look really shiny in person.

Happy Friday!

Hi everyone....it's me Scout aka Scoutie Roo. It's Friday!!! I love Fridays. When Mama turns off her computer on Friday evenings, we do a happy dance.

Do we have fun plans for the weekend? Nope! We have to clean the house because next week we have an agent's open house. Mama says we need to do deep cleaning and we need to trim some of the outside plants. The plants have really grown fast this year and need to be trimmed back again.

Do you want to see our house? Daddy and Mama took several plans they liked and put them together and this is how it turned out.


Mama took photos this morning because the day lilies are looking so pretty.

Have a greyt Friday!!!!

Fox!


Yesterday, we were recovering from our camping trip when all of a sudden Mama yelled "OMG"! That's really what she said too. Anyway, we ran to the window and there was a red fox on our porch. We had never seen a fox before. Mama couldn't find the camera fast enough to get his picture. She ran outside after she found the camera, but he was long gone.

Later in the day we saw a raccoon run across our driveway. What is up with all these critters in our yard? Do you think they know we are selling our house and are checking it out? Hey, if they have the cash, they are welcome to it. LOL

 Well, we just realized that we didn't finish telling you about the rest of our trip home.  I don't know if we even remember the res...
