I don't feel like typing Saturdays: Dog day afternoon

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty LLC 200311024

Sometimes a pile leaves can be used for more than just a compost pile, as our puppy figured out real quick after a long day of playing with the kids.

 

UPDATE: We lost Midge the puppy in this picture in early February and she will be missed very much by everyone who met her. Thanks midge for the great memories and some even more unforgettable laughs.

Todd - I am sure the leaves made a nice bed for the doggy.  I spent yesterday raking leaves and my yard looked great.  Today the rain and wind blew so many leaves back it is as if I did nothing.

Todd:  Just promise one thing.  Please tell us you won't barbeque the dog and have it for Sunday dinner just like you want to do with the Easter Bunny.

Wayne - Yes we do!

John - That dog does have it made! My three kids spoil that think rotten!

Joeann - I'm so sorry! 90 degrees? In October, no way! I can't stand it during the summer, why would I put up with at Halloween - lol

Jennifer - That was day four of try to keep the leaves in a mile in the middle of the yard. So know exactly how you feel!

Linda - Thank you!

Kathy - I wish that leash wasn't in the photo either! But, being it still a puppy, don't trust it to run off after a cat or a squirrel yet.

Marlene - I'll have the kids do that one for you - lol

Debbie - I love watching the kids rake leaves - lol (And puppy played pretty hard)

Candy - He was playing hard and it was so funny he just stopped and looked at us and fell over and was asleep. I'm not sure anything would have woke puppy up!

Karen - I promise! But, if we are on the subject of eating dog...I've been to China and Hong Kong. (I won't go in to any more detail)

Todd:  Perhaps you might be interested in a local Texas delicacy called "road apples."  I know a place in Houston you need to visit next trip down.

Hi Todd,
I would like to trade places with your puppy on a warm, sunny Fall afternoon.   Ahhhh, a nice long nap in the sun.

Todd:  One of the things I have learned recently is the incredible value of taking a nap.  You doggie has the right idea.  Just make sure when you rake the leaves, that you actually rake them, rather than using a leaf shredder.  <g>

Todd:  Me reading YOUR mind.  Yikes, that is a very scary thought.  I wonder if there is any medication I can take for that.  I am guessing it will have to be some herbal concoction made up by some Shaman somewhere.

Karen - Now it isn't always a bad thing to be reading my mind. Only at odd times my mind wonders to strange places.
