My Looks Are Changing!

When I first moved here on July 23rd, my back was white.  Look at me now!

I'm white with black and brown specks!  Daddy thought Mama was crazy when she said I had more spots on my face at first, but he can't deny that I have specks on my back.  Well, at first, he told her I needed a bath.  She told him that I was not dirty!  She said the new colors are because I'm living the good life here.  Actually, she's been told by a few people it's because I'm eating a better grade of food and that's why my fur is bursting with new colors.  I just keep getting cuter and cuter. LOL

We Were On TV!

Our photo was on Sammy's Stars this morning.  It's a feature that our local TV station shows on weekdays.   Mama and Daddy and I gathered around the TV this morning and Grandpa and Grandma texted us and said they were watching. Scout didn't even get up to watch it. She said it was too early and she would watch it later.  Then, it happened, our photo appeared on TV. 

I've made it to the big time!  Just a few months ago, I was living on the farm and now look at me.  I'm on TV and it's not for anything bad.  Life is good and so much fun!

We Are Ready For Santa!

Mama said we are ready for Santa to visit!  This weekend we finished up all the Christmas cards and the last batch is in the mailbox today.  We sent out a lot since it's my first Christmas and our first Christmas in our new home.

We hung up our stockings.  We don't have a fireplace, but took an idea from my sister, Bunny, and hung them on a shelf.

Mama hung some stained glass snowflakes on our windows.  She has a lot of them because in their old house, they had a lot of windows.  We are hoping that they stop the birds from flying into our window.  We had three crash into it last week.

I heard Mama tell Daddy that she ordered us something on the Internet.  Scout said she thinks it's Burpdog Biscuits.  She said they are so good!  She and Jack had them when they visited Abilene a few years ago.  They call them doggy crack on Greytalk because dogs go crazy over them.   I don't think I will be able to wait for Christmas to eat some if they are that good.  Did I tell you that I put my front feet on the kitchen counter when our Christmas cards arrived?  I thought it had to be a package for me.  I got in trouble.  I have to be better because Santa is watching and I'm still supposed to be careful with my leg.

Oh, Mama said to say thanks to Mary for telling us about the injured eagle.  The report yesterday sounded good, but they are doing more tests on her.  You my remember that the Mom to the eagles was killed last year, well, the father has a new mate so hopefully there will be more eaglets this year.

Setting The Record Straight

I think I need to set the record straight about Scout implying that I am hyper.  I am not.  I am only really crazy active from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.  I sleep most of the day while Mama works or if I am not sleeping, I am being quiet.  When Judge Judy comes on, I know that it's time to play!  Here's proof that I'm not hyper.  These photos are from yesterday.

As far as the bunnies go, yes, they are teasing me!   They let me get close to them and then they take off.  They know I'm on a leash and can't get them.  I can't wait until I'm able to run again. I'll show them.

Last night, we had a big surprise.  There was a opossum in our yard.  He was way more exciting than the silly rabbits.  Daddy told us about the night that Mama took her Cocker Spaniel, Sami, outside and Sami went nuts barking.  Mama was in her pajamas.  Mama thought Sami had a cat cornered behind a bush and Mama reached in to get the cat.  She grabbed the tail and then knew it was not a cat.  It turned out to be a opossum. Mama screamed.  LOL

Driving Mama Crazy!

Joey is driving Mama crazy.  She says that I'm not helping either.   The problem is bunnies.  We have bunnies in our front yard.  Bunnies in the side yard.  Bunnies in the backyard.  Joey feels the need to search for bunnies all the time now.  He is obsessed!   He wants to go outside constantly.  He has to search the entire yard a few times before he is willing to come in and as soon as Mama takes her coat off, he starts whining to go outside again.  Mama says she is ready to have some rabbit stew.  No, not really, but she wouldn't mind if the bunnies disappeared. 

We think that Joey is lying about being four.  He acts like he is two.  He has a lot of energy.  I'm beginning to think he is not even a greyhound.  Daddy said that both Joey and I are myth busters.  I shed a lot and Joey is full of energy.  Grandma even laughed about Joey's energy the last time she was here.  He played with a toy for like 5 seconds and then had to find another toy to play with.  He kept doing that and Mama told Grandma he is like that all the time.  We are glad he is feeling better, but he needs to chill a little.  He needs to take lessons from me.
