Hi Contessa

I don't have a lot of time tonight because we didn't get online until very late this evening. I was supervising Mom while she "didn't do much today"...that's what she told Daddy this morning. So I figure, goody, we can have some playtime, maybe watch Criminal Minds on A&E or a movie on dvd or better yet, get out the pool or chase some more bubbles as Mommy blows them for us outside!!! BOY WAS I MISTAKEN! We cleaned the bathrooms. We did 6 loads of laundry. We swept the utility room, not once but 3 times. we cleaned cat boxes and took out the trash. We cleaned the kitchen sink and counter. We ran the dishwasher and emptied it. We dusted. Then to top it all off, she gave Maya a haircut!.. And I had to make sure all of this "not much" got done. All this PLUS I had to go downstairs every 20 minutes or so and make sure Dad was doing okay with his workshop project AND I am in charge of keeping an eye on Maya and making sure she does okay after her surprise vet visit on Saturday! I am only 1 pup and I am exhausted!! I am sure glad that woman didn't decide to try to get a lot done today cause I think it would've done me in!! I think for Christmas this year I am gonna get her a dictionary so she can see what "not" and "much" mean for next time. I don't think I can take much more "taking it easy" around here. Maybe with any luck, she will "work really hard" tomorrow so I can get some rest! BOL!! PuppyDog Kisses and Tail Wags, Chewie Cairn Cuddles, Maya

Hi Beautiful Contessa...

Glad you had a nice day, and really "supervised" Mom while she was working in the yard, and watched her every move, and didn't wander at all. Glad she caught you when you saw the other dog, and you were right back to "supervising". Happy those storms took all the humidity away and your weather is even nicer. We had a great day in the 80's with low humidity. Mom was busy with the yard, and washed and waxed her truck. I was supervising, too, and I'm so happy she was so busy she didn't have time to give me a bath!! Yeah! but I know one is coming soon. Have a great night, my friend, and left a vote...Shiloh Snuggles...Takoda p.s. Are those Red Bud tree behind you in your first two beautiful pictures?

Hi

Well I think I did pretty good this past week. I only tore up 2 sqeaky toys and peed on the floor at the office only once. Yesterday when we walk home I like to grab the leash in my mouth and pull on it. Well, I guess somehow I managed to get the leash wrapped around my Mom's bad ankle and then I pulled on the leash. Well Mom let out this yell cause apparently the leash rubbed on her skin where she has a plate that was used to put her ankle back together. She got a nice leash burn. I didn't know that she even had a plate under her skin. I can't help it if she didn't tell me. She said it still hurts today. I guess the plate lies just under the skin and she can fell everything!!. Today she was outside on the deck using that power washer again. It took her 5 hours to get the deck clean. When she came in her jeans were soaking wet and had dirt all over them. She left her shoes outside and went into her bathroom. She put her towel on the floor in front of the shower to use at a later time or so she thought. She took off her jeans in the shower and hosed all the dirt off before she put them in the washing machine. When she was done she noticed that the towel was gone and I was running around the house with it. Mom has to learn that when she puts things on the floor it's game on. I'll take anything that is not nailed down!!! Well that is all that I did in 1 week. I don't know if I am getting better or worse. Hope you all have a good night. Hopie Too

So sorry for being gone for so long, again. Mom was pretty sick for the past four weeks, and one of our cats, CoCoa, got in a fight. and she never gets in fights so that was weird, but she had a pretty bad cut on her ear. Its almost completley healed now, thank goodness. Plus the normal business of life, just haven't had time for the computer lately. And the kind of internet we have, through moms phone, has been really slow and not really working well lately. But we have also been enjoying the sunshine. Yes, sun! Two weeks of mostly 70 degree weather. That felt like summer to us. Really warm compared to normal. So everyone was out in there shorts and what not. Mom is just thinking about later on in Aug./Sept. when its gonna be like 85-90 degrees. That's real summer! But now we are getting back into the normal routine of 50/60's rainy cloudy weather. Dang. Mom has been baking too. She says she likes it better than cooking. (Like dinners and stuff) She made some little french donut things that were really good. I got some that didn't have powdered sugar on them. They were pretty tasty little treats. And of course cookies and what not. She says what else are you supposed to do when your sick? She only stayed home for 2 or 3 days out of the 4 weeks she was sick but those days were plenty. Bol. She also made puppy chow. For those of you who got all excited like me, don't be. What an evil trick! This so called "Puppy chow" is chex cereal, covered in melted peanut butter/chocolate and some powdered sugar. Sounds yummy right? So here I am, sitting on the floor last night waiting for some and then the humans start eating it. Hello? "Puppy chow" sounds like its for dogs to me! But apparently its not, so my hopes and dreams were shot down and I was a sad dog the rest of the night. Ok not really...maybe I am being a little over dramatic but I think if humans are going to eat it, they shouldn't name it stuff like "PUPPY.." it should be called "Human chow." Enough said. Hehe. Well, we hope to blog again soon, and we always do hope to but sorry if we can't! Have a nice sunday! Licks, Love, & Prayers ♥ Zoey
