Empty peanut butter jars

Well, not completely empty. When you get to the point that you can’t scrape an appreciable amount from the jar, they make great dog entertainment. I had to hold onto my mostly empty jar (plastic, I don’t give the dogs glass jars) until I had two, since we have two dogs. Missy thought these were the best thing ever! Griffin loves them too, but he needed to have protection from the puppy so he could enjoy his treat. Watching the puppy try to get her tongue to the peanut butter at bottom was worth the wait!

Snap shots from a walk

I’ve been getting household tasks marked off the list, which is productive, but doesn’t make for great blogging. (It took me two days to get through the filing. Ugh.) So today you get pictures from a recent walk. We’ll get back to chickens and crafts soon.

Ok, so I’ll share a puppy picture too! This is actually two photos blended together on my phone (!!) using the Photoshop Mix app, since they wouldn’t both look at the camera at the same time. I could have cleaned it up better on the desktop, but not too shabby for a quick fix. Yes, Missy is chewing on the grass. Silly puppy.

Face palm

All that room and they both sit on one seat. I even put a fuzzy blanket on the back seat!! (Full disclosure, picture was taken parked in the school pick up line. No dangerous cell phone use.) This is the first time Griffin has let Missy up beside him. He seems to be regretting his decision.

Two dogs, one seat

Will you be my buddy?

Little Missy needs a buddy. All the time, poor wee thing. When I’m busy and the kids are at school, she will even sidle up to the cats, as close as they will allow! Today is a good day for cute puppy pictures. If you haven’t voted, today’s the day! If you have voted, well done! Now look at puppy pictures, and be kind to one another.

This is the shocker, that Sophie let Missy get this close, and that Missy maintained her manners!

Growing

Little Miss is bigger than Izzy!

Missy the puppy has reached 11.6 pounds. This makes her officially heavier than Izzy the cat. Not longer, just with more weight. They take up my whole lap. The cat still rules the house, though, which is as it should be.
