The Vet Place

bear-sneer.jpgThis week the hoomins took me to get trimmed and a bath at the vet place. I like the trim and bath all except the water part.

Before the trim and bath the vet lady looked at my skin and tummy. She used a needle (didn’t hurt) to poke me. She also pushed on my tummy and looked in my nose, my mouth and my ears.

The next day, the hoomins brought me back to the vet place because the vet lady thought I should get another test. They used a funny thing that another vet held in her hand and saw pictures of the inside of me.

The Mama and the Daddy talked to the vet lady and decided that I have to go back to have an operation. They say I am going to have to rest after but I will be OK.

All this made me very tired so I am going to take a nap now.

BBQ Day

I like it when the Daddy does the grill thing. There always is a treat or two when he’s cooking and there are leftovers the hoomins give me after they eat. I like treats and leftovers. I eat all the leftovers, get a drink of water and then I go take a nap. The picture is me watching the Daddy work the grill thing. Click to make me big.

Verna’s Little Shooter

Yesterday we went to the shooting range. I made several videos of us shooting. I liked this one of Verna shooting her little Smith and Wesson 442 J-frame .38 caliber revolver because of the big muzzle flashes from such a small (but powerful) firearm.

Bertable Ride

bear-face.jpgYesterday, I got to ride in the Mama’s bertible. I like the bertible because the top is down and I can sniff the air better. I can also see better and hear better.

We stopped at Daddy’s truck fixing place and the Daddy got out and walked away. I wanted to go with him but the Mama took be back home. Even though I wanted to get out with the Daddy, it was fun riding.

After a while the Daddy came home and I was glad to see him.

The picture is me on the patio. Click me to make me big. OK – time to go and take a nap.

Red Rose and Remembering Dad on Father’s Day

A little over a year ago, Verna’s Dad passed away. The company I worked for sent a bouquet with a nice variety of flowers. Among them, this bright red rose caught Verna’s attention so she took this image of it. She took the photo exactly one year ago. Click on the image to enlarge.

Cooper’s Hawk

We went out to the memorial park today to put out some Fathers Day decorations for Verna’s Dad. On our way into the place, we spotted a Cooper’s Hawk swooping low over the ground. Verna took this photo of it during a low pass. It appeared to have some prey on the ground somewhere although we couldn’t see anything there. Cooper’s Hawk sure is a handsome bird.
