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 !!!!!!!

How's that Mercury ?????

A day at the Beach

Hi ya bloggies.......

We are still here in the Florida sunshine enjoyin' our new home and findin' out how ta get around here and learnin' all about our new neighborhood.

Now that's important, I tell ya, cause ya need ta find out what yers so ya can chase away vermin that don't belong.....

Here I am surveyin' my domain.....makin' sure there isn't anyone around that isn't supposed ta be there.....a hard job indeed....

but someone has ta do it ....

I am up ta THE TASK......

Toby tries ta help but sometimes he just gets in the way....

See that pier...it's my job ta patrol it 'n scare away intruders......

My Mom sees the water....'n she is just tryin' ta figure out how ta get inta it....she knows it is just on the other side of the fence....if only she could open the gate.....

I think maybe we can all get inta the water fer a spell 'n cool off.....I mean it looks soooo invitin'.....

I knew if we just tried hard enough, we could get inta that nice cool water.....

I tell ya there is just somethin' special about the feel of sand between yer toes.....

After ya get outta the water ya have ta roll in the grass ta try ta dry off a bit......my Mom does it sooo well....

Back at the house, we got involved in checkin' out the hole in the kitchen fer the furnace and air vent. Pap was replacin' the cover....'n when the hole was open we were sure we saw vermin in there.....another very important job fer the terriers....

Geez, Toby nearly got his head stuck there but luckily he got it out cause he's my right hand man in the patrol department....

Then Pap was gettin' ready ta dismantle the kitchen peninsula ta make room fer the new one and so my Mom got inside ta check it out.......we smelled vermin in there 'n wanted ta make sure they had left ....

Yep....it's an important job, I tell ya....'n I'm back on guard duty but before I go I want ta wish ya all a

Very Happy Easter

We were very fortunate this year cause there were no bunny ears around ta torture us with.....

Don't put all yer eggs in one basket......

Count all yer blessings.........

And have a HOPPIN" GOOD DAY !!!!!!!!

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on patrolin' our beach and havin' a Happy Easter too !!!!!!!

Back From the Dead......Fer Sure

Hi Bloggies.....

We sure thought that we were never gonna get ta tell ya all about our lives....ever again.....why....never, I tell ya....never.....

Why, we've been tryin' ta get ta the computer fer weeks now......it's almost been 2 months since we got ta tell ya anythin'.......

But we're back....at least fer a spell....

Do ya remember that RV that we posted about in January?

Well, it's gone, I tell ya....gone.... Gram 'n Pap sold it and it has been hauled away by a big truck ta a new home........

Ever since we got here Gram 'n Pap have been cleanin' that place and lookin' fer a new one where we own the lot......

Why ?

Well, so we can have a fenced in yard....that's why.........fer us....ta play in.......yep...just fer us....

So we moved ta Lake Placid, Florida which is about 20 miles south of where we were in Sebring.

Gram 'n Pap bought a mobile home in Lake June Hills which is right across the street from Lake June in the Winter, a 3500 acre fresh water lake.

Wanna see it???? Well....here it is........

This is it........our new home away from home......

There's a homeowners association in the over 55 park we are in and they ( 'n we as members )own a lot right on the lake with a Beach..................

A pavilion fer havin' parties.......see it behind the fence.....

And fer lookin' out on the lake too cause there's a pier there ta walk out on....
'N if ya have a boat...ya can park it there too........
Ya can walk out pretty far on the pier.......that's it on the left......

Ain't it pretty????? That's Lake June in the Winter.....

'N ya can look down the shoreline too.....

We have a lot more room here........bigger couches ta sleep on.....

And ta celebrate our return ta bloggin'......

We all got groomed......yuck......it's a good thing it got warmer around here cause we have no hair.....

We will try real hard ta get around ta visit ya all soon.......but we'll leave ya with a snapshot of the Sunset on Lake June.......

Geez.....we sure hope this ain't our last post fer another 2 months.....
Email Gram 'n tell 'er what ya think about long absences.......yes siree.......you all tell 'er......fer sure.....

This is Dewey Dewster, long-lost reporter, bloggin' about our new home.....

In The Sunshine State.......Fer Sure.......

Hello all ya bloggies.....

Ya thought we disappeared from the bloggin' world didn't ya ????? Well, we almost did because of Gram who wasn't interested in helpin' me with my blog til I hog-tied 'er and made 'er take some pictures too.....

Welcome ta Tanglewood......a little community in Sebring, Florida fer OLD PEOPLE......but young doggies are allowed in....yep....that's us......

We left "The Burg" on December 26 and drove here....takin' 3 days ta get here....not fun....3 days in the car with Toby 'n my Mom hoggin' up the back seat......but we survived..... When we got here it was COLD....I tell ya....COLD.....fer days....'n days....but now it has warmed up just fine.....

Here I am ridin' in my golf cart and I thought that I would take ya on a tour of our little community and our little camper too.....

Fasten yer seat belts cause here we go......'n I'm not the best driver either so hang on tight......

I thought I'd take my Mom along fer the ride.....ain't I just the nicest son that ya know?????

First stop is our little pen in front of our camper....we get ta watch all the people go by and doggies too....but we're not allowed ta bark.....and I tell ya that sometimes we ferget.......yep, we ferget ta be quiet.....

Now step inside our little place and we can show ya around....I tell ya it's little......

This is the back of the living area and it got a bit crowded cause of our crates but we can all get in anyway...... This is the entertainment unit and it is on a slide out.....before ya go anywhere ya have ta slide these in so ya don't run everyone off the road.....'n so ya fit on the road too.

This is on the opposite of the room ....the sofa.....and it is on a slide out too....ya have ta watch yer head when ya sit down cause the ceiling is low....

This is the rest of the sideout and where Gram 'n Pap eat........we hang out underneath the table in case any crumbs fall our way.....well......ya never know........do ya ??????

This is the kitchen part and ya can see the front door too....that little black thing is the stove. Gram is havin' trouble with that cause she likes ta cook 'n there's no room and only 3 burners too....the microwave is in the cabinet above the stove....this part has real high ceilings and ya have a feeling of space even though there isn't much of it......

Ready ta see some more??????
Just follow me......

If ya come in the door.......this is what ya see....the fridge and freezer section are built in and there are cabinets on the left side ta put stuff in.......'n we have lots of stuff.........Gram is havin' trouble with the fridge cause it's really small....'n ya can't fit much in it....'n she likes ta buy ahead and freeze.....can't do that here......

There's 3 steps ta the right of the fridge and ya go up inta the bath area........we didn't show ya the water closet cause it's an unmentionable.......but ya can see the shower 'n sink......

Ya go up one more step 'n yer in the tiny bedroom which is on a slide-out too....those doors are the closet and that part is on the truck bed and so the ceiling is real low.....

This is the outside of the 5th wheel camper....ya can see the 2 slide-outs....this side is opposite the entry door.....

Now ya can see the door side 'n the awning...our pen...... 'n the steps ta get in.....the slide-out ya see stickin' out is the entertainment unit....

Here's a wider view....we have a patio.... 'n a picnic table....'n there's Pap cleanin' stuff.....we've been doin' that.....cleanin'.... since we got here......we're almost done.....

We're in the RV (recreational vehicle) section of the park.......here's a look at some of our neighbors.......

And some more too.......

There's a bunch of streets back here......lookin' across the street at our neighbor.....they live here year round......

Let's drive up the street........

There are houses in here too....streets 'n streets full of 'em....here's one of the little ones......

And here's a big one........

Gee everyone....I sure hope that ya enjoyed yer tour of Tanglewood and our little place we're stayin' in........

I will try ta post more later.....I have ordered some drugs ta give Gram so that she is much more agreeable and will help me and let me use 'er laptop too......as soon as they arrive....we're good ta go.....

Hope the weather in your part of the world is swell.......cause it is nice 'n warm here now.....
'n we're havin' a grand time.....
