A Picture Take Earlier Today in Minnesota.

This From Bogue

A few days after I started feeling better I noticed my pets putting stuff in something they call a suit case. I always know what that means. They got up early the next day and have been gone since. Today is the second day. The woman behind us makes sure I have enought to eat and plenty of fresh water but it is not the same. I am so sad that all I want to do is lay with my head on my paws by the front door til they come home. Maybe this evening.

From Lucky

Doesn't she know I can pee on her carpet!!

The other picture if of my stupid next door neighbor. You know how Seinfeld says "Newman"? Well, that is the way everyone says "Jaycee" s name A very high strung, obnoxious dog she is. Has a very high pitched, nervous bark which she uses frequently. She also tries to "herd" everything that moves, from particles of dust to mosquitos. All the while barking in the high pitched, nervous, @#$chy pitch that she uses. Even being the manly pimp that I am I wouldn't court her if she was the last female on the planet. She cannot sit still for a moment, as observed by the blurry picture that I made. She actually was "sent off" for a short while. The hairless ones that she stays with were never quite clear about where she went. Nobody really cared enough to press for accurate details; we just knew it was much more peaceful on the hilltop. Any way, she returned after about 3 nice months, hyperactive and irritating as usual. Right back to her old ways, chasing every car that moves up and down the trail on the hilltop. Every time Jaycee begins to herd the cars while they travel on the trail we all have to join in with her, we are not near as quick as she and are actually putting ourselves in great danger but letting the female herd by herself makes all the rest of us appear as though we aren't doing our job so she forces our hand. I really wish someone would need her services elsewhere. She wears the rest of us out trying to show us up. I wish she would follow me to a coyote party; it might calm her down and do her good. She is so type A however that she won't leave the hilltop after dark even for a good party. Which by the way, I have been to several the last few nights, I'll tell you about those at another time. Hence, the reason the hairless female got my picture this morning; I was sleeping too deeply to care

Lucky's Pet's Litter

Lucky's pet still has not had her litter. The pet they call the Grandmother is anxiously waiting. Since the expecting pet lives several states away the arrival will require a trip there. Would be good if the little one knew how many were looking forward to his birth.

The Pet And I Prepare For A Garden

As you can see we were preparing the ground for a garden. My reponsibility was to protect the pet from attack. I did my job well and he was safe. You never know when a squirrel might turn on you. Of course there had to have been other creatures out there but they knew better than to test me so we did not see any of them. You don't see Roscoe because he was off loafing. I hope to heavens he was not digging more holes. We got away with that one but must not push our luck.

Sent By Lucky About Some Pets

A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence yet know that he was safe.

So she had an idea of how to handle it.


She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance so he wouldn't notice her.
The neighbor said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.

The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week.

As the two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week. Finally she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her?'


Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'


The little girl said, 'Well, who is she?'

'That's just Shirley Goodnest,' Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy.'

'Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she following us? '

'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in the Psalm, it says, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!'

This Was Sent To Me From My Friend In Atlanta

Had to be what they call an aquarium. Don't you think?
