The Mystery of the Drain Pipe

Normally Mama is very interested in mysteries when they are in books or movies. However, we have been trying to get her interested in one in her own backyard and she pretends as if it does not exist. We know she is terrified of snakes, but this mystery started when snow was on the ground and snakes don't do snow. Try telling that to Mama who is convinced he could have been wearing a parka with a down bootie to keep its tale warm. Mama has an aversion to the crawly ones.

However, this morning she did go out and snap pictures of the crime scene. While I tried to show her what was wrong, she still cannot figure out the problem.

What is It About Bunnies?

Someone else mentioned this in a post yesterday, so I know we are not alone. Mama is cool with us chasing just about any critters in the yard with the exception of skunks (which from what we have been told is justified) and bunnies. She will cheer us on as we chase down squirrels, but a cute fluffy bunny and she loses it. She becomes protector of all that is wild. She is very strict about the no chasing the bunnies rule.

Wait until that fluffy thing gets into her lettuce and we will see how kindly she feels towards it and its growing family then.

Look What Mom Made

Mom does these crochet swaps and she cannot post pictures on her craft blog until the other person gets the presents. The woman Mom was swapping with has three dachshunds. So, she made the bird the woman wanted, but she could not resist making this guy to go in the box either.

So what do you think?

Birthday Weekends are Wonderful

We had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday. We had birthday bones. Mom and Dad found many wonderful toys. We had extra playtime and one of our favorite humans brought special birthday cookies for Katy and I along with a cool new ball to try out. Mom noticed we were really attached to the Valentine's owl so she made sure we got one that can stay out year round.

Now that Katy is coming to appreciate this whole birthday thing, she is already creating a list of demands; I mean requests for her special day.

We Won Bones

Just in time for Bailey's Birthday, we won Smart Bones from Dakota's birthday giveaway at Dakota's Den.

We want to say thank you to Dakota for giving presents out on his birthday. We are looking forward to peanut butter and chicken bones.

Wordless Wednesday: Stealing Dad's Magic Blanket

A Salute to Dr. Suess

Frankie invited us to join in Amber's Dr. Suess challenge.

You must not hop on Pop.

When we heard the rule,

it seemed so cruel.

When Shelties are flying,

it can be so trying.

Somtimes a hop

is really more of a flop.

We know that Dad

is always glad

and wouldn't miss

a Sheltie kiss.

We have no more time

to rhyme.

We must race

as there are squirrels to chase.

Enjoy the day

Make time for lots of play.

Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!!!!
