What a weekend!

Hi, everyone! Wow, it has been a hot weekend here! 101 degrees several days. Prissy, the gang, and I have been inside most of the weekend. The humidity is too much even for us pets!

Mom stayed home this weekend, too. The a/c in the truck went out, so until she gets that fixed... I know she will not be taking me on any drives around town. I hate not being able to go for rides, but I will definitely wait! What can I say...I am spoiled to a/c just like she is! (That is why mom installed a misting system out back several years ago...to help keep me cool when we are outside. Hey, it was either that, or to shear my beautiful hair, and I was having none of that! Even though I teased her about it in another writing.)

Mom is going to be working evenings soon, so we will be able to enjoy the days together playing. It is cooler in the mornings, so I don't mind being outside then. Speaking of that...got to run for now. Play time!!! Have a great day everyone!

Hot tomales!!! (I know...tamales!)

Not the food...it is hot as hot tamales here in Texas!!! Prissy and I (and the kittens) are all staying inside the past few days to stay cool. It is a little more boring than being outside, but at least it is not burning up. We have been reaching a heat index over 100 this week and it is only June. I hope that is not what it will be like later this summer, but around here it will probably get hotter. Wonder how I would look with no hair??? Just thinking cool thoughts...don't think my mom would let me do that, though...just an idea.

We haven't chased any wild cats up the tree lately. So, guess they are lucky it is hot, huh? Except that our cats and us are cool and they have to fend for themselves. (That is if the animal catcher doesn't get them first.) I don't know if they belong to someone, but if they do...they need to take them to their house and keep them away from our cats! I wouldn't tell anyone, but our kittens are kind of growing on me now. They even come up and rub noses with me. I don' t particularly like that, but I just growl a little bit and they eventually go on and play somewhere else. However, if they are not where I can see them...I still go looking for them. Have to make sure they are safe...guess it is my herding nature.

Mom is getting ready to cook, so guess I had better go supervise that. She may give me a sample if I am good. Have a great evening everyone!

PS: This is a picture of one of those wild cats sitting on my truck! How dare they!

Time Fly's with us...

Hi, everyone! Wow, I cannot believe it has been so long since we have posted anything. Mom has been real busy with her job and trying to keep all of the kittens together. Their mom disappeared about a week after they were born, so mom had to bottle feed them for a while. We lost the little one with the white bowtie mustache. She or he refused to eat anything or drink anything after her/his mom left. We miss them, they were so cute!!! The other kittens are real active now...still a little small, but getting large enough where mom can try and find new families for them all. Prissy's dad may take some of them with him to the farm in a few weeks.

We have been pretty much staying inside the last few days. It poured here the other night and it is still muddy. Prissy and I do not like getting mud on us....guess we are a little dainty...lol. Anyway, it is supposed to be a nice hot weekend, so we should be able to get out there then!

I will try to catch up reading everyone's blogs soon. Have a great day!!!

Cat Protectors...ssshhhhh

Okay, though we would never admit it to anyone...we are sort of fond of our cats. Prissy and I had a stray cat get in our yard the other day and it was our duty to protect our cats. We chased that cat all over the yard and cornered it by the fence! We were just about to grab it when mom whistled for us to stop barking. When we turned around, the cat took off. So, we decided to ignore mom, and chased it up the tree. Bet that darn cat won't show up in our yard again! How dare that cat...it is our job to chase our cats!Too bad we couldn't climb trees like that other border collie in the video...or that cat would have been in big trouble!Remember...

Hope everyone is having a great day! Chat with you later!

White mustache kitten and other kittens...our new additions.

2 gray kittens were born...

2 black kittens were born...one with the white mustache!Grey kitten on the right is one of the ones from above. There are 4 of us all together.

4 new kittens

Moma kitty had 4 new kittens. They are having to stay in the large cage with their mom right now, so Prissy won't eat them. She thinks they are toys. One is soooo cute, it is mostly black with a little bit of white on it's breast bone...but what makes her/him unique is that it has a solid black face and above the top lip there is white hair shaped exactly like a bow tie!!! So funny!!! Mom is going to try to get some pictures of all of them to put on here before the weekend. We will be giving them away, though...Mom says there are already too many of us. We just have to wait until they are weined from their mom. We will miss them, but they will go to good homes I am sure.

Dad at Comedy Barn

Hi, everyone! Sorry we haven't updated in a while. We missed you, too. If you want a good laugh, you just have to see this!!! The man in the middle steals the show!!! Enjoy.

Simon Sez

My mom's friend sent this to her today. It was from 2 years ago, but it is still funny! Hope you enjoy...dogs really are smarter than people think sometimes.

Mom is still studying...

Sorry we haven't been able to update regularly lately. Mom is still studying for her new job. So, possibly next week she will be able to start updating my blog again for me. Oh...we have some new kittens. Moma kitty had kittens...she has hidden them somewhere, but we heard them the other day. I will let you know how many she had, etc. when we finally get to see them. Any ideas about names??? Anyone need some kittens? lol

Hope everyone is doing great and we will catch up with everyone later!

No, no, no....not now!

Boring, boring...mom is training for her new job, so we aren't playing frisbee. We tried kisses and hugs, but she said, "...not now". So, Prissy and I are entertaining ourselves outside, by chasing anything moving, and barking at all of the people on the street. They are fixing up the rental across the street from us...we have been barking at him all day long. He hasn't been answering us and has totally ignored our barks. I don't understand why he wasn't scared of us? Maybe because we are behind a fence?

Anyway, time for dinner...just wanted to drop a few lines to my pals and wish you all a happy evening!

Pizza party

Today is a special day for us...mom ordered pizza for everybody. You would have thought that she had set down a steak. We haven't had pizza in a long time and Prissy's dad paid for us to get pizza as a special treat. We all looked like the fish do when you throw food into the water for them to eat....we swarmed the box! Mom gave each of us a slice... okay Prissy and I got more than one slice...but the cats only got one. (Prissy and I are bigger, so we deserved more, in my opinion.) It was our favorite...hamburger and cheese. Mom didn't get all the veggies since we were going to eat some. I feel very lucky to have gotten pizza today, since I acted so nutty last night.

Did I mention that we got put in bed early last night? Well, we did a bad thing...according to mom...I think it is still debatable. Prissy is always trying to eat my, and everyone else's food, in the house before she eats her own. She got into a little of my food one too many times and I growled at her. She growled back at me, so we kind of tussled...til mom yelled at us to stop and get in our beds! She said that she wasn't going to tolerate that kind of behavior from us...whatever that meant??? I was just trying to let Prissy know I was tired of her stealing my food...so I don't know what the big deal was. Anyway, we got put in bed early. We have been super good today and didn't fight at all over the pizza either! Plus we are giving mom kisses and hugs all day...cause we don't want to go to bed early tonight! Woof Woof

McElway Basketball Story

Okay, this has nothing to do with dogs....well maybe a story about a perceived "underdog". This was sent to my mom by her sis and we just had to show it to everyone! Someone had faith in the underdog and look what happened. Awesome results!

Swimming with two of the Four Muskateers...

Since we do not have swimming weather yet, thought I would share our buddies site with you. This is Joyce and Cody having fun at the swimming pool. Makes us want to go swimming! But, we don't have a pool like this around here..looks like a lot of fun, though!

Prissy is finally free at last!!!

Woo hoo!!! Prissy is back to normal now!No more separation required!! (For those of you who didn't see previous posts...Prissy has been in heat and we had to stay separated. Mom didn't want puppies.) Now we are back to chasing the neighbor's dog up and down the fence line!I didn't know I actually missed the little dickens so much...don't tell her that, though!~

We have barked at the mail lady, chased the neighbor's dogs (from our side of the fence), eaten, barked some more, eaten some more, chased the cats....oh, what a glorious day it has been!!! Hope you are having a great day where you are, too!

PS: Mom is very happy, too...no more whining from us!

Pampering Pets Texas Style!

This is a great idea!If there were enough people in my area who would do this, it would be a great business to start! I live outside Dallas a little, so most people here do their own pampering of their pets. But, check this site out....too cool! This would work great for me...since I am not too fond of being around strangers...

No curbside kissing allowed...

Wonder if you can take your pets and kiss them goodbye at the station? They aren't on the sign...

"http://blogs.abcnews.com/worldview/2009/02/no-kissing-allo.html"

Maybe I should show this sign to Prissy about no kissing?( She doesn't know what a curb is... Bricks could be a curb for all she knows!) Then I would have to get my mom to change my main picture on my blog. Oh well, guess I won't tell her...for now.

Love the mail lady today!

Oh boy, oh boy! The mail lady was nice to us today...even though I still barked at her arrival. She brought us a package from Prissy's dad with all kinds of goodies in it! Woof woof!!!!

We got a new leash...been needing another one since Prissy chewed through our old ones. Plus we got a chili flavored Slim Jim apiece! (kind of like a beef jerky) He also sent us some of our favorite chewing gum...spearmint flavored. Did I mention that we love gum? If not....we do!!! Now if mom will just keep those darn cats out of the way, so we can eat our Slim Jim's in peace, it will be a perfect day! Actually, we do share it with the cats...so don't feel too sorry for them.(But, we do not share our gum! They will have to use something else to get their minty fresh breath!)

It is a beautiful day today, so I am going to run play some frisbee. It is supposed to get colder again tomorrow and you know mom doesn't play frisbee if it gets too cold outside. Hope you all have a great evening!
