We're Livin' the Good Life !!!!

Hi ya bloggies,

I tell ya that we have ta be the luckiest doggies in the world cause here we are still enjoyin' beautiful sunny weather and gettin' walkies up the kazoot every day.

My Mom is still doin' well....it has been more than 4 months since her second surgery and Gram still can't feel any tumor regrowth. Hooray fer that news !!!!

Now my Mom is still supposed ta be gettin' that Dr Budwig Cancer concoction and Gram has still been given it ta her along with a ton of supplements and vitamins. Mom decided that she really didn't like the concoction, though, so Gram now puts it right on top of 'er yummy dinner and my Mom can't eat around it so she has ta eat it !!! Funny...isn't it?

Now me 'n Toby.....we just love the stuff.....the concoction, I mean.....so Gram gives us some in our dinner too and we eat it right up. We also lick Mom's bowl cause she leaves some crumbs.... 'n there are doggies starvin' in the world..... 'n we don't want it ta go ta waste.....so we don't let it go ta waste.

Do ya remember those silly big birds.....Sandhill Cranes.....that like ta walk right in the middle of the road? Well, we hear that they mate fer life.....'n they have babies too.... 'n here is a newly hatched set of baby Sandhill Cranes. They were peckin' around in Sandy's yard with their Mom 'n Dad.

Ya can watch 'em  grow.....above they were just fuzzy babies and right below ya can see that they are growin'.....'n growin' fast too......

 

 Ain't it just too cute that they stay with their Mom 'n Dad and just walk around the yard like they own it?

I really wanted ta hug 'em but Gram said "No Way!"....she was afraid that I might hug 'em way too tight........

We have had crazy weather here but not as crazy as what they've been havin' up North. But it was warm enough ta go swimmin' again....

 

See Mom looks  just fine swimmin' around in Lake June......

 

We love ta play ball in the lake....

 'N I, Dewey Dewster, love ta be the one ta get that ball......

 

 

 

There she is....Lake june in Winter....it was windy and the water was wavy that day....

Gram got a lily bulb as a gift from a nice neighbor and she planted it. It has now started ta bloom.......ain't it beautiful?....'n it's big too......

Well, I think I will leave ya with a little glimpse of how my Mom manages Gram around here. Every night about 9:15, my Mom wants 'er cookies. Sometimes Gram fergets ta get 'em fer us. So my Mom has ta remind 'er. This is how my Mom tells Gram that she needs cookies 'n she needs 'em now....





Crabby....ain't she????? Me 'n Toby just stay outta the way....we know that when my Mom gets cookies....we get cookies. Why should we do any of the crabbin' when my Mom is so good at it?

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on my Mom's progress, our weather, the silly bird babies and me playin' ball.....over 'n out.....

On the move....and Dewey Immortalized

Hi ya Bloggies,

I tell ya we never seem to get ta talk about what we are doin' anymore until it's almost too late ta tell ya.

Right after Christmas, we left "da burg" and headed south fer the winter. We drove all night long and then all the next day and only stopped fer the night once we reached Georgia. There was a terrible snow storm and we wanted ta beat it. We didn't beat it but we missed the worst of it by leavin' early.

              That, I tell ya Bloggies......is what we saw in the Carolinas on the way down ta Florida.
            'N the Carolinas are not used ta gettin' snow so we saw a lot of accidents on the trip down.

              But now we're lookin' at this beautiful scenery at Lake June in Winter in Lake Placid, Florida.
                                                          'N we are sure glad ta be here too.
                    We've had a few cold nights but fer the most part the weather has been beautiful here.

Yep, I tell ya....it's paradise....fer sure.......

                

Ain't it just spectacular?  
Water....'n ramps ta walk out on....

                                                                      'n more water....
                                                                          'n trees too.

                      Then there's these sandhill cranes that are walkin' around in our neighborhood.
                                           Imagine that ! I mean who invited 'em anyway?
                                                       They don't have a house here.
                                                           So we had ta bark at 'em..........

                                                 I mean we're the bosses 'round here......right ?
                                                                   Ya agree, don't ya?

          Then I tell ya that we really got upset cause Gram 'n Pap found this turtle walkin' on the road

                  and they didn't want 'em ta get hit by a car so they brought 'em back ta our house.

                                       Put 'em right in our exercise pen....I tell ya......OUR PEN!

         There he was just lordin' up the place like he owned it

  'n it is OUR PEN !

                                   So I had ta watch 'em outta the window in our Florida room....
                                 ta make sure he wasn't takin' anythin' that didn't belong ta him.......

I mean that was a HARD JOB....... watchin' that turtle ta make sure he was bein good.......

a really HARD JOB!

But then someone had ta do it...so it was ME!

 

So he spent the night in our exercise pen cause Gram 'n Pap went ta a sports bar ta watch the Steelers play football.

We found out that he was called a gopher turtle....cause they dig tunnels like a gopher.

So what did the little nurd do that night?

He dug himself  inta the ground so we couldn't see 'em anymore 

'n so we would think he had moved on.

 But I was smarter than that....cause I knew he was still there.

Yep, Gram 'n Pap told us that they took 'em ta the nature preserve across the lake

 but I think he's dug 'imself a BIG DEEP TUNNEL

and he's hidin' in our exercise pen.

So everyday I check the perimeter just ta make sure.

 I'll sniff 'em out....yer siree.......
He can't fool me !

 ***********************************************************

Back in "Da Burg"....and a Caricature Story

Hi Bloggies.....

After 3 days of ridin' in the car with Gram, Pap, my Mom, 'n Toby.....we got back ta "da Burg". Gee, we thought that we would never get there.....ever.....

We made a friend while we were there...... 'n we wanted ta bring the little fellow home but Gram 'n Pap said we couldn't.....ain't he cute....he's a sandhill crane......he would have made a wonderful pal for Toby.....

The first thing that I did when we got back was grab one of my favorite toys. I see that no one stole it while we were gone....'n that's a good thing too.....

Can ya believe that we had NO TOYS while we were in Florida at all ????? None, I tell ya.....it was awful....but we were sure glad ta see ours once we got home again......

I just love this toy ta death..........

We missed a lot of the spring flowers bloomin' but we did get back in time ta see these........

Gram's dogwood was bloomin' it's little heart out.....

The pink azalea was openin' it's pretty flowers......

The lilac bush still had flowers on it.....

The Bridal Wreath were startin' ta bloom.....

'N the sweet shrub had the prettiest leaves 'n it's flowers out on display.......

Taday we got ta take a walk....'n I found a swell ball layin' in the street.......I had ta have it.....I just had ta........

Fer some strange reason, the ball lost all of it's air while I was playin' with it.....dumb ball................it wasn't nearly as much fun ta play with once it was flat but I tried ta have fun anyway.......

Tell the Story in the Caricature Contest at Mercury’s Blog!

.
'N now I have ta tell a story....

Why ???

Because Mercury, who is Oorvi's Mom and our friend, is a caricaturist besides bein' a really smart person with impeccable English.... 'n she asked people ta write a story about what's happenin' in the caricature below......

So I scratched my head fer awhile....grabbed Gram....'n told her what I think the story is behind this picture....

'N here it is....

*********************************

I tell ya Mercury….yer always givin’ guys big noses..... ‘n this guy isn’t any different….another whopper of a schnauzola…….looks like a divin’ board…yep…fer sure….why that mouse could take a high-dive off it and win the Olympics…..

So what’s the story behind it all……

Well, I tell ya that the story is in the mouse. See ‘em ???? He stands big ‘n tall….. ‘n he looks at that horrible creature that’s pointin’ at his watch….. right in the eye.... I tell ya…..right in the eye…..he’s not afraid of ‘em at all…no siree…..

Now anyone else would be afraid of that creature because he looks menacin’…..yep….why look at the braids in his beard and that horrible hairdo….ya could braid his eye brows too if ya tried…’n the hair on his arms too…..that’s a gent ta keep at a distance…..fer sure…..miles away…..

So he hired the mouse ta eliminate a few vermin that were getting’ in the way of his business….which was not anything in the personal improvement/hygiene department at all.

Why….Ya may ask…. would he hire a mouse ???? He hired ‘em because he’s small ‘n can sneak inta small places and then POP the bad guys when they least expect it. Now, there is a bit of a logistical problem with him scurrying around inta small holes with that gun and ammo he’s totin’ but he is a “Problem Solver”…. ‘n he has found a way ta get IN….’n then get OUT again without anyone knowin’ it was him that did the “DASTARDLY DEED”. Yep, they call ‘em “The Rodent Raider”….’n he’s ta be feared by all.

Now “Protruding Proboscis” is askin’ fer it if he persists in tryin’ ta put the fear of the god inta that mouse…..scoldin’ ‘em like he was a wayward child is sheer folly…..He most certainly was not late getting’ back from the assignment….he stopped fer a spot of peanut butter on the way back…that’s all.

Yep, if “Protruding Proboscis” knows what’s good fer ‘em….he’ll put that waggin’ finger of his back inta his pocket and tell the mouse what a good job he did on his last assignment and pay ‘em fer his services. I fear that otherwise he will lose that finger and a lot more in the scuffle as “The Rodent Raider” will work silently, eliminate the braided hairball and slip away through a hole in the wall. He will never be caught either..........

So that’s my story…..’n I’m stickin’ to it !!!!!!!
