Scarecrow Trail 2010 at the Huntsville Botanical Garden

Well I have signed up to make a scarecrow for this years "Scarecrow Trail is going Hollywood" at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. This year the scarecrows will be themed around favorite movies or cinema characters.  I'll be picking my up my armature for the scarecrow this week and shopping for it's clothes.
Wish me luck!

My BIG New Back Yard.

The other night when Mom and I got home from work Dad got me out of the car and took me through the house to my back yard. I went out the door to do the usual inspection and sniff. You never know who or what might have been out there during the day. When all of a sudden I was in a part of the yard I had never been in before. I was in the middle of a very BIG yard instead of my little one. Someone had move the fence! At first all I could was stare all around, then stiff all around and try to take everything in.
Then all of a sudden, I was struck by this over powering urge to RUN!!!!! I made about three big laps of pure joy before I ran out of steam and needed a nap. I was so tried, but happy, that after supper I napped for about two hours before I had to get up and go to bed.
I love my new yard and I love to RUN RUN RUN!!!!!!!!!!

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!!!
