One Spoiled Dog

 

 

A couple of weeks ago we took the trailer to Bear Lake for a few days.  We had lots of fun and it's always good to get away.  The best part is that it's always a little cooler up at that elevation. 

 

 

Our little Max loves to camp too.

 

Looks like he's ready for dinner!



Storm Drains

We've been having a little work done on the street in front of our house.

Our city officials decided we needed a storm drain.

We've had tractors, big trucks, and lots of workmen making lots of noise

starting at 7 AM each and every day for the past week.

Max has been thoroughly entertained.

He sits up on the back of the sofa and watches the show.

Kind of like a kitty.

The noise and disruption and no parking should last about three weeks.

But I won't be holding my breath until it's finished.

Summer Project 2012 Begins

The weather has been so nice that we decided to start on Mimi's Cottage Summer Project of 2010, 2011, 2012.  The mister has been working on the sprinkler system and preparing the soil for hydroseeding our new lawn.  Last Saturday, (it was 70 degrees!!) the curbing guy came over and 

installed some curbing to separate the lawn (when it gets planted) from some planting beds.

Today it's been raining cats and dogs and temperatures in the 30's and 40's.

There won't be any work done outside today. Or tomorrow.  Lots of mud and muck out there.

See, I told you it was raining cats and dogs!

Distractions

I've been a little distracted lately by this little guy.

Meet the newest member of our family...

Max.

He came to us through the Adopt Me Society, a wonderful rescue organization that takes care of

pregnant mommy dogs that are brought to animal control centers. Then they foster them out until after she delivers her puppies and then they find good homes for them.  And the mommy too.

He's a 10 week old puppy.

He's adorable, cuddly, funny, and smart.

He likes to chew on shoes, table legs, electrical cords, and anything else

that comes along.

It's hard to get a picture of a 10 week old puppy.

They never stop moving.

We're almost positive that someday he'll be house trained.

We're in love.

And just a little tired.

But in a good way.
