Is This For Me?

     Mom brought home a large bag full of TOYS, and not one of them is for me!!!!!  This one bounces up and down and makes all kinds of noises so you can see how a fellow like me would LOVE to play with it.  BUT, the toys are for children that Mom's side of the family have "adopted" for Christmas, so I guess I can just wait until Christmas and I get my own presents to unwrap!

Dancing Merengue Dog

Mom says this is just too good not to share.  I say some dogs are such pleasers....have to make the rest of us look bad.  You might get me to wear costumes, but don't expect any special dancing out of me, Mom!

Toads

     I confess, I am captivated by toads. 
     This summer Mom noticed that we didn't have very many toads around.  Even the resident barn toad was missing.  They say if you don't have toads, you probably have snakes, so given the alternative, Mom chose toads.
     Mom thought she would invite snakes to a toad banquet by bringing some hopping joy home from Aunt Sue's house that Trey, Mom's nephew, caught.  Not really.....she just wanted the toads for eating bugs.  I wanted to eat the toads.  I think I hear the music to "The Circle of Life" playing somewhere.  Do the words "food chain" come to mind? 

     However, one little lick gave me a toad-aly sneezing fit.  Hmmmmmmmm.

     Ok, I confess, this shot is a tree frog, not a toad, safe from a curious little dog like me.

  

Meat on Legs

     Mom calls these Golden Laced Wyandottes.  I call them meat on legs.  She has 3 hens and is looking for a rooster of the same breed so she can raise little baby chickens.  Any roosters out there that need a home? Mom wants to know.
     I say great!  And I don't mean in a good way!  It's just more temptations strutting around the yard that a little dog like me has a hard time resisting!

Summer's Ending

    
     Fall is here and winter is coming....I think I'll lay by the wood stove and dream about finding toads in Mom's flowers.

3 Dogs

     Introducing....from left to right....as a puppy, Sacha, my nemosis, and Tinkerbell, my comrade in mouse chasing.  Finally, resting in my favorite place on top of the couch, is Spot, my buddy since birth.  I do a happy dance whenever Tinkerbell and Spot come from Antonia's house to visit!  On the other hand, anyone out there want Sacha to come for an extended visit, say for a year.....or two.....or more?
