Mews from Meowmix

Sometimes, well, a LOT of times, animals just crack me up.  Besides Barney, we are in regular communication with two of the grand-dogs, Harley and Lola aka Lulu.  Today was cleaning day for their house, and we always look forward to seeing them, as well as their bunny siblings.

Harley is a yellow lab-looking girl, and Lulu is kind of a shepherd lass, sort of caramel-colored.   They’re both beautiful, and they love their Mamaw and their Aunt Judy.  They were in the house when we got there, and their daddy said they’d been on a scavenger hunt this morning.  They’d been down the street, where they’re not supposed to be; their invisible fence wasn’t hooked up because it was beeping, so when their daddy left the house, he said THEY had to stay IN the house.   As soon as he left, they started begging.  Sometimes Mamaw will take them outside for a bit.  Not today.

They followed us – mostly her – around the house the whole time.  At one point, she had gotten sick and had to take a break and sat down in a recliner.  Both dogs were up in her lap lickety-split, giving her sugar and loving on her!  When she got up, and every time they looked at me, they begged to go out.  Picture this.  A lab standing contritely in front of you with her head bowed slightly and looking upward with her eyes like, “Do I look pitiful enough, yet?”  (She  may have even had her legs crossed!)    This went on for a couple of hours.  Finally, I called Daddy, and he said he was on his way home!  So all was well.

They sure know how to play us, that’s for sure.

We cleaned yesterday and today, so tonight I feel like I’ve been chopping cotton!  You know, getting old wouldn’t be so bad if it just wasn’t so darned inconvenient!

TODAY’S SMILES:

1. Barney jumped three feet, straight up in the air, when Phil startled him.
2. Men and their cars.
3. Singing Happy Birthday to Ginger this morning.  She’s our family groundhog.
4. Watching Michael prepare a roast for supper.
5. Waking up from a bad dream to find out it was only a dream!
6. Snow – and then – melted snow!

See you tomorrow.  May God bless.
