Hi – this is Beethoven (aka Bay Bay). I am still getting used to riding in the hoomins truck. I like to travel, but sometimes I get anxious to get out of the truck and explore outside. Sometimes, I just sleep and sometimes, I ask the Mama and the Daddy “Are we there yet?” Click on me to enlarge.
Having well-groomed feet is important to dogs. Little Beethoven here was grooming his hind paw on the top of the love seat today when, as a final touch, he inserted the entire paw in his mouth. Both of our little dogs make me laugh every day. Click on the image to enlarge.
After target practice today, we pulled over to the Everett Bowman Rodeo Grounds where a practice session was underway for an upcoming rodeo event. There are a couple of cowboys in the photo that are doing some calf roping practice. Click on the image to enlarge.
Cabela and Beethoven often climb onto the back of the loveseat to keep watch over the local activity through the window in the great room. This is a photo of them sitting up there that I took yesterday. Click on the image to enlarge.
The Mama and the Daddy took me, Bear and Cabela to the dog park today. I have been there before, but today I sniffed and ran all over the park. It was fun. This is me running over to the Daddy who was calling for me to come to him. I love my new home and hoomins. Click on our picture to make us big.
Compost red wiggler worms slow down their consumption of organic scraps in the wintertime, but we humans keep producing the scraps. So, to reinforce the worm workload, we ordered a thousand more red wigglers from Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm.

The worms arrived in the mail today, so to get things started, I gave them a “drink.” The worms are packed in dry peat and come in a bag (see insert in photo). The next step was to dig down below the organic scraps in the compost bin to the layer of worm castings below. I added some moist garden soil and put the ball of worms on top of the soil. The instructions that come with the worms say to cover them with a wet newspaper. The worms will absorb the moisture and begin to crawl into the soil and thence start consuming scraps within 48 hours.
