South Carolina Camo

Fall is blowing in on a cool crisp breeze and we love it!

I so enjoy laying out here on the deck feeling the breeze ruffle my fur...

With the temperatures dropping it makes an air conditioned house take second place to a deck...

This week our back yard neighbors have had men on their roof...

this upset Thibby quite a bit..

I however, being a little seasoned,  have seen this type of thing before...

I remember when those men were all over the roof of

the Mam-maw and Pap-paw Ryan's house..

I was left to keep an eye on them while Boudreaux ran and got our Momma !

She had explained that "that's o.k." and told us what good puppies we were for watching over them too...

We still stayed right there by our fence and kept a close eye on them!

So we have kept an eye open here as well...

Me from the deck and Thibby mostly from the yard.

He does get a little side tracked now and then.

As he runs across the yard he will pass over a couple of his favorite dirt holes...

In the last couple of days we have had several inches of rain...

giving the dirt a better holding power...

Now...I, myself have never really cared much for a dirt bath but, I over heard  Thibby explaining to Momma that it was

South Carolina Camo

and

by using this he would be able to  do a better job

of guarding us from any suddenly squirrel-y roofers

that might want to scale the fence and try attacking our roof!

So he will travel a path from the back fence... looking up at them on that roof... through a waller hole.. to another waller hole ..and then to look at our roof...

(can't be to careful.. they might be real sneaky like that blame New Hampshire

Great Blue Heron )

Then back around again...

As for me...

Well I will lay up here  

and enjoy the breeze...

if the boy needs me

he will send up a signal bark

and this princess can be next to him in seconds.

But, mostly he is enjoying his day and his dirt.

   

Until next time may your fur feel a cool autumn breeze...

and for those of you that are so inclined may you find a good dirt hole for wallering.

Chloe & Thibby 

 

Our Little Short Buddy is Visiting!

This week our little fellow has been visiting...

Our jobs have grown by leaps and bounds!

Thibby's especially!

He has to watch over young Michael...

and be ready at a moments notice to play train,

(Thibby is the caboos and Michael the conductor...

kinda like follow the leader!)

He also has to check on him if he whimpers...

and most of all

Thibby love to watch out for the food that runs away

from Michael and falls in the floor...

As for Chloe..

well she takes to the petting..

but, takes a back seat to all the noisy running a muck,

keeping her ears open

for sounds that might say

"I need help!"

We will always remember our boy, Boudreaux with love.

Catching Up....

Well of all things...

Look who has dropped by

for a visit!

It's been quite awhile since last we saw you.

It has been almost a month...

Our last month has been very busy

What do you ask have we been up to?

Thibby and I will have to put our heads together and try to

remember

We have been outside

Romping a lot...

been on some road trips to the country

and to Virginia...

Momma has had to spend a good bit of time in her sewing room

In her sewing room she has been working on an outfit

made out of sequins...

shiny little round things that fly through the air and get

everywhere!

They are on her cutting table,

other work tables,

machines, chairs, and floor...

and

any puppies that may be close by.

Momma is pretty good when it comes to "multitasking"

She can cut out a pattern,

dodge flying sequins,

rub a pups belly

with her foot

and take some pictures, too.

Miss Bobo helps keep an eye on Momma,

that is until the sequins try to get on her,

then she shakes her back leg in

disgust and vacates the premises!

Me...well,

when I get tired of

the sequin showers..

I will guard Momma from

just outside the door!

Every evening Daddy comes back to the house.

When we hear his work truck pulling in

we will happily meet him at the door .

It's Daddies turn to pet us!!!

And we love it!

We love our Dad...

and he still lets me sit in his lap!

I myself enjoy the idea

of a nice rest in the early evening...

Maybe , a little "Braves" baseball

on the t.v.

However, my little brother,

Thibby is still wound up and ready to play..

When I try to ignore him ,

he has his ways of getting my attention.

He will pull my tail...

Pyr pats on the head ,

double handed pats on the rump

Gentle...

yet aggravating tugs at my ear...

Oh, he'll get me up ,

then Momma and Daddy will pull their toes in

as we dance

around the room..

In awhile Thibbs will be

ready to lay down with a chew stick

and

I will get to rest awhile till it's

time to climb the stairs for bed

***

We are sure glad you stopped by.

In the next few weeks

our little short 2 legged fellow

will come to visit us

and we will be making some

trips back to the country...

We look forward to seeing you again real soon...

One more word from Thibby:

Momma & Daddy brought home a whole basket of balls the other day..

they said they were in "season"...

(that must mean you can bring home a lot more at the time

...my tennis balls only come in 3s)

It's about the same size of my tennis ball...

different color..

and

they don't bounce or roll to well...

when you throw 'em in the floor they just go

"SPLAT"

and that makes Momma squeal!

A Homemade Spa Treatment!

Mama has mentioned a

"Day at the Spa"

...

Shampoo's, nail clippings,

a lot of brushing...

Chloe has told me all about

these places...

I saw one on t.v....

I liked the looks of it...

they had "mud baths"!

Those women sure looked

happy!!!

I like MUD!!

But, those women

acted strange,

Not a single one wallered!

I would have had a real big

WALLER

This has been one hot, dry

summer...

Hardly a drop of mud to go

around!

But if you are a smart puppy,

you can make do

with a little

Dirt!

Now, it's well known that

dirt does not have the

same "High Quality" as mud...

for instance...

Mud

• covers more body area
• sticks to the coat better
• slings further when shook
• sticks better to surfaces when slung
• One coating last 3 times as long as dirt

(If you can avoid Momma in

a cleaning frenzy!)

However, given the

circumstances

if you will give your spot of

dirt a fresh "dig"...

you know

rake it around some...

get some of that cooler

earth up to the top

then

take a big Flop into it,

finally

have yourself a real

good

WALLER!

Dirt sure feels good!

Try it!

You'll like it!
