Rain Day.

It was raining, so we stayed in and had a good chew!




Laura helped mom on the computer. And Josie had a nap.

Off To The Park We Go...

We think Maisie finally got enough sleep, because today, she started chasing Josie the cat around the house, and Josie was not lovin' it.. So, Mom decides we have to go to the park. She does that to me too, just when I get really good and wound up, she decides it's time to tire me out.
It was good weather today, so I wasn't complaining, although I would of liked to have seen how that cat chasing thing would of panned out. I remember when I tried that as a pup, and it didn't go so well for me. I sort of took one to the nose - but mom does keep their nails short.

Here we are at Cowboy Hill. We don't know why they call it that, but in the winter, people sled ride on it.



And, here we are at the lawn bowling place. That's the greens behind us, but no game was going on today.

No Rest For The Weary!

I'm not big on dog beds. I like to sleep right on top of the pan in my crate, or, some other cool surface - probably because I have so much fur. Mom says we are going to have to get Maisie a dog bed. She keeps trying to stuff herself into the Kitty Cup! BOL!! What a nutball!

Introducing - Maisie!

Now I know what that big surprise was... It's a sister, and her name is Maisie. So some of you guys guessed that one right. I, however, was clueless. I guess I should of figured it out when that second crate went up, or maybe when the pink harness that is way too small for me arrived?
Maisie came here all the way from Alabama! And, she's a relative. My dad, Kent, is her grandfather. We are also related on the maternal side too, but we haven't figured out exactly how that goes yet. Mom thinks we have the same great-grandmother, or something like that..
I have to be nice to her, and not knock her around too much because she's pretty little. She's only 5 months old, and she weighs 11 pounds. I know that because today we both went to the vet for check-ups. That was a pretty crummy thing to do on her second day here, but she still needed a puppy shot, and I had to get my yearly exam for the Therapy Dog thing, so off we went. She's still pretty exhausted. On Sunday she left Alabama, and went to Georgia to the Sheltie Nationals, and then on Tuesday our friend Margaret brought her back to PA. She had a sleep-over at Margarets place, then on Wednesday mom and I went to Washington, PA to pick her up.


We got a little play time in though, and a walk, then she crashed....








More later - something tells me she's not going anywhere anytime soon....

Tah Dah!

You might remember, we had a big basement cleanout last summer. That's when we unearthed the push mower. Anyhow, mom took it an extra step and had the walls and floors pressure washed, and painted. Now, the cats and I have more useable,clean play space in the new, improved laundry room.
And,the bottom basement has become this! Whoo-hoo!

????????

Mom keeps looking at this picture and says that next week I am either "getting a nice surprise" or, that I am gonna be "in for a big surprise." Something's going on....

What a Fabulous Night!

oh, my dog, oh, my dog, oh, my DOUBLE DOG! Ludo had a great party. I am almost speechless. I hope he doesn't mind, but I fixed this picture to my liking. I am going to frame it and hang it in my crate!

Ludo - The Birthday Boy!

Tomorrow, April 13th, is my handsome beach bum friend Ludo's birthday! Is he HOT or what?.... Drop by his blog (tell him Morgan sent you) and wish him well.
Happy Birthday, Ludo

Happy Easter & Spring Has Sprung!

Finally - we have some flowers! Lately the nights have been getting really cold and we were worried that all of the beautiful flowers would freeze. We even had a snowy, very cold day last week. But, everything seems to have survived and is looking just wonderful!
My neighbor Donna is real nice, and she lets me take runs up and down her hill. Many years ago she planted all of these daffodils on her hill and mom and I look forward to them every year.

I hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

THE FINAL ROLL CALL: "LEST WE FORGET"

Spring cleaning. "Morgan, this place is a mess"

Mom says we have dirt, and we "have to get this place cleaned up!" I might have been responsible for some of it... We got going, she wanted to wash windows, and wash the curtains. Pretty soon, it started to look worse than when we started. So, we made a snack. That was my favorite part, but it didn't really get things moving like mom thought it would. "Morgan, cleaning is just not that interesting" So she tried this, and was significantly less grumpy... When the snack was gone I excused myself. I went to find Laura and Josie. They were playing with a toy Joe the Mailman found in an apartment building up the street that had a sign on it that said "free - please take." So he stuffed it in his mail bag and brought it to them. Mom cleaned it with the steam cleaner, and it's pretty cool. Its called a Cheese Mountain. It has motion sensors on it that make these three mice come in and out of the holes. I get a big kick out of walking past it and making it go when the kitties least expect it. Makes then jump up in the air! BOL!
