Stowaway

Uh oh! I followed Maggie and Mitch's advice and tore up a full roll. Our girl got upset and decided to run away. She pulled out the black box again.
We're not going to allow it. She isn't going anywhere without us!

I'm serious. I'm not moving.


If she's going to run away, then I am going with her!
I wonder if I zip it up, if I can just ship Comet somewhere for good. Maybe then the girl will stay home and pay attention to me. After all, she is trying to run away from Comet.

Stealing attention

Our girl has been neglecting our blog and our friends this summer. We tried to have a chat with her, but she didn't pay much attention. Maybe this will get her attention. I stole the TP bone while she was taking a shower.
mmmm....tastes yummy.

I'm going to rip it up and make a mess if you don't pay attention to me.


Sheesh! Even that didn't work. Hopefully she will be less busy soon.

Scary Storm

There's a scary storm outside.
I'm going to hide on the bed where I'm safe.

Bath time

It was 115 degrees out today. HOT! Our girl decided that the perfect way to cool down was to take a bath outside. We know that many of our friends think water is a great way to cool off. WE DON'T!! We HATE water.
I refuse to look at the girl if she's going to torture me with a bath.Put the camera down and rinse this soap off of me so I can go back inside.

Hmmm.... I hate the water but it actually does feel cooler.
We're almost dry. Let us back in the house now!

abandoned - again!

Last week, our girl abandoned us. AGAIN! Can you believe it? And to make matters worse, we ran out of greenies while she was gone.

We were deprived of treats and she was eating lobster in Maine. How fair is that?
At least we got these cool new chew toys when she came back.

drip...drip...drip

What's a dog gotta do to get a good nap around here? Our girl decided it was time to break fix something else around the house.
Hmmmm.... it looks like there is a leak under here.

Yep! I think I found the source.
It was coming from this silver snake. Good thing I killed it and pulled it out.
What do you mean it is still leaking? That should have fixed it.
Hey Tony, can you help us fix this? If you help us, I'll tell you secrets about the stupid things our girl tries to do when breaking fixing things.

While you're here, can you also look at the dishwasher. It's not working right either.
Nope, that's not it. Let me show you what's broken.

I think our girl just needs to buy a new dishwasher.
We'll take our pay in steaks, thank you very much.

Raking leaves and seeds

I think our girl has her seasons mixed up. She said it was time to get out the rake to clean up all the leaves and seeds that fell during the spring. What? I thought you were supposed to rake leaves in the fall.
She must have known what she was talking about, because look at this pile. It looks like a big pile of dirt, but is really full of millions of tiny leaves from our mesquite tree.

Here you can see all the seed pods from the mesquite tree. These are really hard and hurt if you step on them. We are quite happy she raked these up.
We know these piles of leaves and seeds look small compared to the big piles of maple and oak leaves some of our friends see in the fall, but they are HEAVY! Each pile weighs about 60 pounds!
Let's get these piles cleaned up and out of the yard.
Oh oh. It ooks like there are lots more seeds in the tree waiting to fall down. Don't tell me we will have to do this again in a few days! There better be a yummy treat in it for us!

Taste the Rainbow

The other night, the girl was nice enough to share some of her dinner with us. She made little pizzas out of tortillas and shared a little bit of the chicken and cheese with us. Yummy!
Today she went to the farmer's market and brought home these fruits and veggies. Doesn't everything look tasty? We're not quite sure about the curly striped Armenian cucumbers though. They just look weird. They are sometimes called snake melons, and you can see why!

I wonder if she will notice if I steal this yellow squash.

She did. But I was quick enough to grab this eggplant. Do you think I should taste it?

Hmmmm.... the green part isn't very tasty.
I think this grape tomato will taste better.
And a big chomp......
and squirt. Yummmmmm.....
BLU doesn't know what she's missing by refusing to eat vegetables.

Snooping

I'm bored with kibble. Is there anything tasty in here?

Time me

Now that our girl mailed out some of our extra "guilt" toys, we got to play with more of them. Today we got these cool tossing toys with ropes. Watch what I did with mine. Time = 5 seconds after getting it. Lay down and get it in the optimal chewing position.

Time = 7 seconds. Give it a good strong tug.
That made a nice little hole.
Time = 10 seconds. Get a better grab on the hole.
Time = 15 seconds. Destruction!

Time = 20 seconds. Go for the final kill.
And then the girl was a meany and took it away from me.
Meanwhile, Comet politely nibbled away at his toy.
