The Grand Babies Are Here!!!

Last Thursday evening as I was resting on my couch in the living room when I heard a noise outside. There was a knocking sound and Dad opened the front door. All these people came into my house, there were big ones and little ones and they had all this stuff with them. All weekend long they kept saying "Happy Mother's Day Memaw!"
I don't know what Mom was thinking. She let them have my bedroom and sleep in my big bed. I had to sleep on the floor in Mom's office for several nights. She kept paying them more attention then she did me and she had to keep putting my water bowl up to keep that littlest person for playing in it. Their things were all over and in my way most of the time.
They're gone now and I have my house and family all to myself again.
However Mom seemed a little sad when they left.  Maybe it wasn't so bad having them here. They did love on me a lot. They also gave me extra snacks and played with me in the backyard. So I guess if they wanted to come back and visit us again it would be okay!
What ever makes my Mommy Happy!

Mom and Dad are off to Hawaii for a week!

My Mom and Dad are heading out of town again! I don't get to go this time,but I don't mind too much. I get to go stay at what Dad calls "Doggie Camp" at Whitesburg Animal Hospital. I always get lots of attention there. Mom gets me the TLC Package for the weekends (Extra trips outside and Snacks). But during the week "Oh Boy" she signs me up for enrichment classes. We get to play, learn manners and just have a really good time with all my friends. I'm so worn out from all that fun that I'll need a nap or two when I get back home. See you in a week!

Mean Old Cat !

I was cleaning the house the other day and Wilber thought he would take a nap in the middle of the bed in the spare bedroom while Mama worked. He was laying at an angle so he could open one eye and see out the window now and again. His nose just inches from the glass.
Well he had been in there for about 20 minutes when I stuck my head in the room to check on him. He kind of half opened his eyes to look out the window again when all of a sudden this BIG orange tabby cat jumped into the window. I wish you could have seen him. He jumped straight up and stood their with such a surprised look on his face. That look said I want to chase that cat and I wanted it bad!!! But how?  He new it was on the other side of the glass window. I don't think the cat ever saw Wilber because he just sat there. Bless his heart he was shaking from head to toe with anticipation. So not knowing what else to do he ran around the inside of the house trying to look out all the windows and then launched out the back door and barked a few times. Oh well! So much for his nice long nap. He hunted for that cat all afternoon.

 

It was a Busy Weekend!

Last Sunday morning Mom, Dad and I went to Stones River National Battlefield, Murfreesboro, TN. We had a nice walk around the battlefield, checked out some cannons ( Dad  loves cannons) and then had a picnic. Mom had made us some sandwiches and I got a peanut butter one. It was such a beautiful day and I got to hunt for squirrels.You know they smell really good. After lunch  we went to the Tennessee Livestock Center at MTSU, also in Murfreesboro for the GPA/Nashville's Winter Gathering. I had so much fun there. I got to see my foster Mom & Dad, Stacy and Terry. Then there was a great big butt sniffing party with a hold bunch of new greyhound buddies. I was loved on a lot by my human friends and I ran around in the livestock arena with some of my new greyhound buddies. I got to do more friendly butt sniffing while Mom and Dad shopped, had some snacks and visited with their friends. We got to watched some of my fellow greyhounds race, just for fun, in a short little track.  It was a great fun filled day!  I was so tired, I slept most of the way home.

It's Time to Party!!!

With my costume on and ready for a night on the town I got busted. Mom said I had to be in bed by 8 o'clock
or I'd turn into a pumpkin. I guess she's right, but I was so looking forward to whoop'n it up and partying down with my coyote buds here in the hood.
HAPPY MARDI GRAS EVERYONE!!!

Valentine's Day Trip

Mike and I thought it would be a great idea to go to Seaside Beach, FL for a Valentine's Day vacation. Who knew we would have to drive through a blizzard in south Alabama to get there. I lived in south Alabama for over 30 years and have only see it snow that much once. Even though it was cold the sun came out and we did get to walk on the beach a few times.
Wilber however went to doggie camp at The Lodge at Whitesburg Animal Hospital.  He got the T.L.C. Package( extra treats & extra outside trips) and Pet Enrichment ( lots of play time) while he was there. He also had his nails done and got a health check. I don't know who had the better vacation. Mike says if he dies he would love to come back as my baby dog so I would spoil him too. Like he's not spoiled already.

Is Daddy Home Yet???

Wilber and I have been staying home together since Christmas Eve when I lost my job managing a flower shop. He went to work with me everyday, slept on the coach in my office and greeted our customers. He had developed quite a following as the shops mascot and people came by with no other reason then to see Wilber and visit with us.
Now we are home most days and it's just me and Wilber. Things are pretty much the same as they were at the shop. I work on getting my Avon business started and he sleeps on the coach. We just don't have any visitors. But at about 4:00 in the afternoon he gets real antsy and keeps looking out the bedroom window. If he hears a car outside he runs into the living room and starts his "DADDY'S HOME!!!, DADDY'S HOME!!!! CELEBRATION running back and forth to the back door. If the car doesn't turn in the drive way he come and stands in front of me whining with a big question mark on his face that says "Where's Daddy?"  I guess he misses all the attention he got at the flower shop.
Anyway when Daddy does get home, "OH MY GOODNESS!" he dances, spins, runs back and forth, the rug in the kitchen goes flying, he can't contain his excitement  Daddy's home and all's right with  the world.
