Verna in the Courtyard

Verna in the Courtyard

We’re having a little (well, maybe a lot) of work done around the house. Three new concrete walls and a paved RV drive are in the works. Verna paused at the courtyard wall to look at the progress being made on a nice 70° afternoon in beautiful Wickenburg. Click on the image to enlarge.

Plunge

Plunge

Besides pooping and lifting his leg at the dog park, Bay Bay’s favorite thing to do is get in the little tub they have there and splash around. When we arrive inside the park, the dogs take off and run around doing their off-the-leash thing. Meanwhile, Verna will fill the little tub with water. By and by, Bay Bay will charge back to the water station, jump in the tub and splash around for a while before jumping out and resuming previous activities until it’s time to ride home.

The Mama Walking with Bay Bay

The Mama Walking with Bay Bay

Cabela and I get to go walking with the Mama and the Daddy several times a day. When the Mama and Daddy eat lunch, they give us treats and then we get to go for the long walk. The Daddy took this picture of the Mama and me on our way back home from the walk. Click on us to make us big.

Waiting for Breakfast

Waiting for Breakfast

No matter what I did to try and get the dogs to look at the camera, they remained riveted on the kitchen where the Mama was fixing their breakfast. They remained focused like this until hearing the carton of cottage cheese open up which means they get to lick the spoon after the Mama loads some in their dishes. Then, in a blink of an eye, they dash for the kitchen.

They both are very smart and perceptive. Bay Bay used to be afraid of the meat grinder and would hide in his “man cave” behind the sofa. Now, when he hears the grinder stop, he comes out expecting to get some of the raw meat and bread left in the screw. He and Cabela each get a little of the “bread and beef tartare.”

Cabela figured out that I keep a jar of peanuts at my desk and can hear when I open the lid so she comes expecting a nut. She usually gets one and in order to be fair so does Bay Bay.

Feeding Veggies to the Puppies

Feeding Veggies

Just before giving Cabela and Bay Bay their breakfast dishes, I like to hand feed them some veggies (it’s good for them). This morning it was asparagus bits and carrots. Cabela gets so excited she jumps a couple of feet off the floor in anticipation. Click on the image to enlarge.
