Beans. Boys. Bees. (And Pincushions)...

 

Devils Claw and Morning Glory...

.
.
Good Morning All;
I have been remiss with my blogging, feeling much like this cat...
.


Picture stolen from an email
.
.
I have had another migraine since last night... Been fighting that on my own, here; and obviously feeling a bit better right now.

Sunday found us back at the hospital with Casey's pancreas.
She is home, having had her pain treated again. One day someone will figure something out. In the meantime I am questioning the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent educating these doctors.
.
.
I had Master Gabriel- And so our visit was spent at St. Marys.
.
.

Gabriel and I have a little routine...
I pick him up, and we go to the local Kwik Trip Station-
He always gets a banana.
.

.

And so that is what he is holding here...

.
.
What does Casey think about not being able to eat or drink anything?
.
.

Gabriel 'hiding' from the camera behind the sheet.

.
.
And Punk, waiting patiently in the car...
.
.

.
.
I dropped Gabriel off as we left the hospital. But having had that day cut short, I did pick him up again on Monday; being able to spend the whole day with him.
And we were real busy!
.
.

Beans to pick...

.
.

And to 'picnic' on too!

.
.
Want one?
.
.

.
.

Too slow...
And it disappeared!
.
.

.
.

Back up to the house then;
and to the remnants of my silly garden.
Master Gabriel picked an ear of corn for each of the dogs...

.
.

.
.
They all love this little treat...
.
.

Especially Punk...

.
.

Sue and Glenn came over to gather the fallen apples and pears.
(They have tame deer that they can hand feed these to).

I shot darts with Sue, Carol, and Beth for many years.
We did very well together too.

.
.

Just one handful of pears...

.
.

Glenn came with the pails then...

.
.

This is only their 2nd trip this year.

Kind of short pickings on the apples,
but the pears have grown well.

.
.

Notice the brown ones on the ground too.
Left behind by the deer, with bites out of them too.
They are covered with wasps, bees and hornets.

.
.

Can anyone tell me why that one on the top right is markedly different from his striped friends?
I can't find any information on this one,
(looks like it mated with a black widow spider to have that little hourglass on his hinder).

.
.

Gabriel loves the pears!
(He ate 3 of them)...

.
.

And his flowers too!
My young horticulturist...

.
.
.
.

.
.

.

.
.
Yes, there are a few flowers left...
.
.

.
.
Yet the view from the woods NE,
betraying the 80° temperatures
that we have had these past few days...
.
.

.
.
And that is why those deer are being hand fed my apples and pears; as the trees, some reluctantly, have given up their fruit for this year.
.
.

Glenn deals with the more 'reluctant' apples...

.
.
.
I owe Gritter and her husband much for picking these fruits and removing them for me.

.
.
Glenn is hysterical...
.
.

Sassy too sometimes!
hehehe

.
.
Kind of the same sense of humor as the dogs...

.
.

You DO see the resemblance, don't you?

.
.
Love to all!
Have a 'wunnaful' Thursday!
As for me, I am going to try to nap a bit longer. Because I damn sure feel like I still have "The Dumb".

XOXO
Anne

Shut My Yap???

 

hehehe

.

.

ARF!
(And by now, we all know what that means)!

I know you will probably not believe me today, but sometimes us dogs do get into trouble.

No, really. We do.
.

.

Like when we go to the woods...
.

.

Hard to believe now but Mr. Miller beat us ALL to the woods.

And he was with Mama Milly...
(I had to wait for my 'she')...

.

.

She can be SO pokey...
And mean too!

.

.

After I found Miller, we got to go down to the river.
I thought Mama Milly would be there too.
But she wasn't.

.

.

That's ME, in the river!
Mr Miller was too, but 'she' didn't get that picture.

She let us play for a long time.
But then it was time for us to come back up the cliff.
.

.

Yeah, we were kinda soggy.
And yeah, I probably shouldn't have rolled in the dirt.
(Miller shouldna either)...

.

.

Kinda dirty.
So?
But I like me like this...

"She" doesn't though.
And she tells me to roll in the grass...
(See? "mean" she is).

.

.

So I roll.
Then me and Mr. Miller run home.

But we get caught and have to go back.

.

.

.

.

See, Miller hasn't rolled in the grass yet.
So she tells him to roll too.
"Mean. Mean. MEAN!"

.

.

He does.
THEN we have to go home

.

.

.

.
We waited nice for her...
and STILL hafta get washed off?

.

So one day Mama comes home with us...
(She usually doesn't).
I tried to sneak up on her and steal her ball.

..

..
It didn't work...
(Maybe she saw me)?
.

.

.

She's not fair like that...
I think she just was hoping that she might get another sucker,
and that is why she came home with us that day.

.

.

She stole it from the Little Guy.

'member him?

.

.

He's showing off his shirt!
From Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
Guess who bought it for him?
Me!
hehehe
OK, so no I didn't-
Just lucky I can get on this computer-
Can you IMAGINE if I got to go to the bank too?

.
Anyway, I would like to go back to Sault Ste. Marie.
Maybe we can still go,
and I can jump into the water again...

It's a LONG ride.
Which I don't mind...
But I do HATE to see these big things...

.

.

And we don't even know what they are??
Do YOU?

.

.

Me and 'she' go for short rides sometimes.
A few days ago we went down the road here>
And she went to the little veggie stand.
WHICH I LOVE!

But THIS time she pulled in the yard...
.

.

I thought it was OK.

'Til I saw this...

.

.

And I HAD to protect my 'she'..
I growled, but she made me be still.

And THEN I saw THIS!

.

.

And it was TOO much!

I growled AND barked.
And she still made me be quiet!

(She told me to SHUT MY YAP)?

I tell ya, there's just too much trouble for us dogs...

.

Mama Milly thinks she's cool cuz she's got a boyfriend.
.

This is "Chevy"

(One day when Mama Milly didn't come back from the woods
She was at HIS house)!
The lady called and tattled on her too!
HAHAHA!

.

.

Mama gets a boyfriend...
.
.

And I get a CAT???

.

.

.

.

And they call this "A Dogs Life"
???????

.

.

ARF to all!
May your bowls and your bellies always be full!
And may your bone supply never go missing.

Love,
Punk
