Mom is having a snack.

We are hopeful...

and yet...

she doesn't share...

True Love

Mom's been working a lot in her squash plants.

I found the sleeves she wears to protect her arms from the plant's spines.

The sleeves get all stinky and dirty from the squash plants.

I LOVE the smell!

I like to rub all over any of mom's stinky squash clothes!

I might just like this better than catnip.

What?  Can't you see I'm busy here?

Wordless Wednesday: If mom could draw...



I Got Mail!

Me.  Wriggley!

oh, sure, I know it's not really addressed to me...

But with a box like this, how could I be wrong?

The kitties read on different pup's blogs about BarkBox and told me about it.  I asked mom if she would sign me up.  She didn't say anything at the time...and then my box came!  Each month I'll get a box with some different products inside, and proceeds go to a good cause.

This box had a summertime theme.  I got my very own squeaky T-bone steak toy for BBQ time, an edible chew to keep me occupied and out of the way for 5 minutes, treats, bubbles, and a "poopy pack" (let's face it, a pup can't have too many poop bags).

Mom seemed to have the most fun playing with the doggy bubbles, so I said she could have those.

Mom said I have to save my steak for later.

The treats are grain free, yummy, made in the USA, and thankfully passed mom's standards.  Did I mention they were yummy?

Don't worry...

I shared!

**This isn't meant to be a review of any kind.  We just thought this was a cool thing and wanted to share.

Woofs,

Easy Sunday Recap

Well, we had an Easy entire weekend!

To sum it up...

Since our mom was lazy last weekend, we had to put her to work this weekend.

Yesterday she worked on the front yard and today she did the back yard.  Most impawtantly, she put more bird food out and cleaned their bath dishes (it's been hot here!)

Do you see that thing hangin way at the back, what looks like a bird house maybe?

Well, it's acutally a bee house!

It's for mason bees and other solitary type species that don't colonize in hives like honey bees do.

Mom hung it out there several weeks ago, not realy expectin anything.

And...

See the plugged up holes?  We got lodgers!

We're all really excited...ok...mostly our mom is really excited...

This is the time of year when we get ant invasions in the house.  Mom was all grumbly cause just a week after she organized the cupboards and our half of the pantry, the ants came!  They didn't get into any of our food but mom didn't want to take any chances.  Part of her chore work today was to get airtight containers for our dehydrated type foodables.  Now she just has to figure out how to fit the containers in the cupboard...details...

This time of year also brings these guys...or maybe gals...

(creepy pic-sher warning)

Mol!  We have garden spiders out the wazoo and mom lets them stay.  This is one of the biggest!  The pic-sher is zoomed but she really is that big, mol!  Thankfully they stay outside. These guys are in the class of "too creepy for us to mess with".  Hee hee!

With that, have a great week, everybuddy!

Just...stuff

Mom stocked up on our foodables a coupla weeks ago.  Over last weekend she was procrastinatin other chores so she stocked our stinky goodness pantry.

She even reorganized the cupboards and gave us our own set of shelves for the rest of our food!

We have more food than she does, mol!

Later, Mom brought out her activitiy mat.

 

We have an activity mat too but it's pretty boring.

ho hum...

Mom's has 87 squillion a thousand toys with it. She's been playing some boring game where she sticks the pieces together. Somethin about makin a picture...

When she first started playin with her mat, I tried to convince her to try some other, more fun games.

Like whappin the little toys pieces about...

woo hoo!

 

My personal favorite is grab-a-piece-and-run-all-over-the-house.  This ranks up there with hide-a-piece and seek.

I' gotta find just the right piece and I'm ready to GO!

Alas, mom is soooo boring!  She would not listen to any of my suggestions.

Whatd'ya mean, you don't need me hamperin my help?!?

You still just wanna make the picture?!?

Whatever!
