Paradise Lost

Hi ya bloggies,

I tell ya that our time in Florida was way too short....

yep....

We coulda stayed a lot longer, but we had ta come back home again...

Gram hasn't told me why we came home ye,t but I am sure that she will.

I tell ya that we did lots of stuff when we were in Florida and there was never a dull day.

All that activity sure made me tired

and

I certainly enjoyed my favorite spot on the sofa......

I love pillows....do ya?

They sure keep ya comfy and I love ta be comfy......

Now there are many dangerous species of vermin running around Florida

Gram went ta see a whole group of especially ferocious vermin......

The kind sane people stay away from.....

See if ya agree

These guys were frightenin' I tell ya.....frightenin'........

Of course ya can also see pretty vermin that strut around lookin' flamboyant like this guy...

Just look what he does ta impress a lady.......

Can ya believe it????

All that energy just fer a lady......

Sheesh......I need ta have a talk with that guy.....

We're sure gonna miss playin' ball in Lake June.....

Ya know ya get hot playin' ball but.....

But the Lake water cools ya right off........

We're sure gonna miss it.......

 So we made the long drive back home again.......

But we always get ta stop at motels along the way.

They make the beds especially comfy fer us doggies......

When we got back home I discovered that some new dogs had moved inta the neighborhood......

Can ya imagine ?........

Without askin' me ?

I have ta whip 'em in shape so they know who is boss.......

Like.....ME, of course.....

All this responsibility is wearin' me out again....

Ya can see that I found another comfy spot ta rest.....

A place ta unwind......

And a soft pillow ta help me plan another day.....

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

Ta all of our friends who are in the path of the tornadoes and floods that have plagued the U.S.

Please stay safe........Take shelter.........We cry with ya.....

And if ya have family or friends affected by this terrible weather.....

We will pray for them all.....

This is Dewey Dewster here reportin' on our last days in Florida, the vermin that live there, our trip home and

my new job in our neighborhood..........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Does absence make the heart grow fonder?

Hi ya Bloggies,

I tell ya we have been so busy here this winter that we just have not been able ta keep up with tellin' ya what all we have been doin'. I really want ta change that but I keep gettin' bogged down by work and havin' fun.

So do ya miss us when ya don't hear from us?????

Do Ya ?

Do ya ?

Do ya?

Does our absence make yer hearts grow fonder fer more 'n more?

 See this is MY GOLF CART.........

MY GOLF CART.......

everytime we go out if I see it,

I have ta get on it.

I just LOVE THIS GOLF CART !!!!

 I wanna drive it but my hairy little feet are unable to reach the pedal.....

but can't ya just imagine how the ladies would take notice

 if I was the one drivin' MY GOLF CART?

 I always have ta check around ta make sure no one is hangin' off MY GOLF CART

 before we go fer a ride.

The other night we went fer our usual walk but when we got outside,

MY GOLF CART was sittin' in the front yard

 'n I wanted ta go fer a ride. 

So after we came back from our walk,

Gram told Pap that we needed ta go fer a golf cart ride

and off we went down the street.

My Mom loves the golf cart too but not as much as I do cause it's mine !

Later on that night after my Mom crabs a bit, we get a special treat.

The special treat comes after we get our usual evening cookies. 

Last night we got some pretty nice chewies

 and we were all busy chewin' 'em up.

 Me with my chewey.....

 My Mom with her chewey.....

'N Toby is busy with his chewey......

So Bloggies....do ya miss us ????

Or are ya happy when we are gone????

Either way, we miss ya and love ya all........

So have a great day and may the sun shine on yer nose !!!!

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on MY GOLF CART, day and night and our evening chewey..............

In case ya were wonderin'............

Hi Bloggies,

Gee, I tell ya there is just no ideal way ta deal with

OLD PEOPLE........

'N by OLD PEOPLE, I mean Gram.....
Yep, she has not let me use the computer fer months
 'n that meant that I had no way ta update my blog.

Yep...Gram 'n Pap have kept me pretty busy workin' 'round here....
.'n I mean work....

I ask ya....do I look even a little bit happy here?
 I wanna tell ya I thought this was ta be a relaxin' visit ta the Sunshine State. 

Now that was not ta be because Gram had somethin' else in mind....
 'n that was paintin'.
As ya can see I was chosen ta paint the whole place......
a big job fer a little guy like me.
All by my little terrier self......

My paws are worn down ta the bone.....
'n I'm lookin' fer a long rest so I can get my energy back again.

Gram and Pap promised us that if we helped ta create a transformation in this place,
 we would get a special treat.
So we did.

We live in a mobile home here and this is what the house looked like when we bought it last year.

'N after workin' fer months 'n months....
This is what the place looks like now....
Still not finished but lookin' a bit spiffier....
Thanks ta yers truly.....
Dewey Dewster.....
canine painter.....

 So since we got the place in order.........

We wanted our special treat.........

We all hopped on the golf cart and waited........

 We wanted ta go ta the pavilion 'n play ball and go inta the water too.......

'n we weren't gettin' off the golf cart until we were there......

Now I tell ya that it is pretty hot around here

And we started our ball playin' in the yard at the pavilion.....

But that was really tirin'.......

So we got inta the water and played there....

Much better, I tell ya.....

Cool, clean water......

And a heavenly clean BALL too !!!!!

But I tell ya that after ya have fun, there's always a down-side ta the day.......

We were now pretty smelly.....

And covered with sand.....

So we needed a BATH.........

 I tell ya that the Peepers always can manage ta ruin a perfectly fine day........

We were surely happy bein' full of sand and smelly too......

Ya can never make Gram 'n Pap happy unless yer clean too ........

 Now just in case we never get ta use the computer again until we get back home again,

We want ta leave ya with somethin' that will make ya smile.

Babies are universally darlin' creatures

 And here is a picture of a baby sandhill crane followin' his mamma around the yard.

Ain't he cute?

Well, I have a lot more ta tell ya but Gram wants ta use the computer

So I'm gettin' the EVIL EYE ta get off it right now.....

Like I actually got ta use it the whole time we were here.....fer sure....

OK Gram, I'm signin' off.....

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' that we're all still alive and reasonably happy......

Bein' smelly and sandy are wonderful......

Baths will always stink.......

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 !

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

Now fer a special topic that is very dear ta my heart.........
Dewey Dewster has been immortalized
 in PEN AND INK.

I tell ya, Bloggies, No one and I mean no one will ever ferget the Dewster.....not ever....

 cause Shafali has captured me.....

Me 'n Toby were a little bit happy

And then we had ta change outfits.....yikes.....when can we go Gram?

And then Gram thought maybe she should take a few of my Mom all by herself....

I tell ya my Mom didn't move a muscle the whole time....

she just wanted it ta all be over and fast. 

She didn't smile either.....

                                       Which one is the statue and which one is my Mom?

                                                                If looks could kill....
                                                        Gram woulda been mincemeat...
