What Do You Mean It Is Not For Me?

Mama has been busy loom knitting all week.  I didn't know what she was making but it kept getting bigger and bigger and then she stuffed it.  A NEW TOY FOR ME! 

 What do you mean that it is not for me?  It looks like a toy.  Mama, I know that I have toys that have looked like this.  If you put a face on it and put some squeakers in it, it is the perfect toy.  :::sigh::: I was told it is not for me and I am not supposed to touch it.  I have a secret....when Mama goes into the bathroom, I touch it. :::snicker:::

What the heck is it?


It is a "Draft Buster".  Mama had been putting blankets in front of the couch to keep the air from coming in but that looked really messy and we kind of needed the blankets. A light bulb went off in her head and she decided she could loom knit one.  She has to make a second one for the other couch.  It will be her project for next week.

We are still confused on our "LIKE" button. We know that some people can see it.  We are wondering if people who can see it have Facebook accounts.  Mama worked on it yesterday and a friend who couldn't see it at first can now see it and she is on Facebook.  We don't know. We just thought it would be a fun thing to add to our blog, but it seems to have problems.  BOL!

We sat outside yesterday, but it was windy. The leaves kept hitting us and then dust started flying.  We decided it wasn't worth it.  We sat outside in the evening but Mama said she was being bitten by bugs, so we came in after about a half hour.  We did sleep in this morning until 6:30, so Mama was really happy with us.

Do You Like Us?

We have a lot of visitors every day, but we don't get a lot of comments.  Mama understands that because she reads blogs and doesn't always comment.  I told Mama it would be nice if we could add a "LIKE" button to our blog and people could just "LIKE" us if they don't feel like leaving a comment.  She did a little research and found us a "LIKE" button.  See it?  It is right under "Do You Like Us?"

Yesterday, we sat outside and really enjoyed the nice weather.  We plan to do more of that today.  Mama is happy because I didn't wake her up in the middle of the night to go out. She said the fresh air must have made me tired. 

We really like our new laptop, but we are still working out some issues.  Mama can't get the pictures from her phone to load onto the computer.  It is very frustrating as there is a cute photo of me squirrel watching yesterday.  The phone and the computer refuse to connect to each other.  We think she needs to get a new phone.  BOL! 

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!  The folks don't really celebrate.  Mama told Dad she would like to BBQ tonight but needed help getting the grill out.  He told her they would just go out tonight.  I think they are going to Steak N Shake because it will be late by the time Dad gets home and most restaurants will be packed.

Things Are Looking Up

After two days of not getting treats from the golf cart man, I was really getting upset with Scout.  I thought she really messed things up for us.  Last night, we were out walking and whose RV did we pass by?  The golf cart man who has the treats that Scout likes.  He talked to us and then said "I know what you want!"  He went to his RV and got us treats.  We saw where he keeps his stash!  BOL!  Mama is now worried that Scout will beg for treats whenever we walk by.  Boy, you should have seen how excited Scout was when she got the "good stuff" from him.  BOL!

This is the best window for watching the squirrels and dogs here.

All is quiet today.

Bummer!
Our weather has finally improved.  Yes, we know we didn't get all the snow and really cold that others did, but it has been cold here.  We had threats of freezing rain, but were lucky that it didn't happen here.  We have really given our furnace a workout since we have been here.  Yesterday things started improving and now we are going to be in the 60's and 70's for as far out as they can forecast.  YIPPEE!   We will be able to sit outside again.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that on Monday someone knocked on our door.  Do you know who it was?  It was the UPS man. Do you know what he brought us? BULLY STICKS!  BOL!  Yep, things are definitely looking up.

Scout Is Going To Get Us Banned....

....from getting treats.

I told you that there is a man who works here who drives a golf cart.  He stops for all the dogs and hands out treats.  Scout gets excited whenever she see a golf cart and very disappointed when they don't stop.  We thought there was only one cart that held the treats, but yesterday we discovered that a second golf cart carries treats.  The man stopped to talk to us and then he handed us a treat.  I took mine and I happily ate it.  Do you know what Scout did?  She sniffed it and refused it. The nice man offered her another flavor and she refused.  He offered her a third flavor and she refused.  You see he didn't have the same treats as the other man.  The folks and I were embarrassed by Scout and her attitude about the treats not meeting her standards.  Mama told her that she is going to get us banned from getting treats here.  :::sigh:::


We saw more dogs being walked this weekend. It was fun meeting all the residents.  Miss Woe even came out. She is the greyhound who lives here.  We were happy to see her.  She is still a little scared of us.  Mama says we come on way too strong for her.  She had a foster brother recently, but he found his forever home.  She is hoping to have another foster living with her soon. We hope so too because it will be fun to have another greyhound in the park.

 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...
