Speak of the devil...

...Halloween's here!

We hope you all get a lot of treats and not many tricks

(unless you are giving them).

Tinkerbell, Oscar and Tucker

(T.O.T.)

I'm going to sit this one out

Happy Thursday Everyone!

It's me, Tucker.

I'm a pretty simple kinda-guy. I like what I like... I do what I want to do... Pretty carefree - until last night. Everything and everyone around me was chaotic! I couldn't even lay in the chair with my bone or "baby" and take a proper nap with all the racket going on.

What was all the hubbub you ask?

HALLOWEEN!!!

Last night the family was busy making sure costumes were ready to be donned, there was enough candy on hand for the trick-or-treaters and the school parties, creepy hats were being created to be worn at school and oh yeah, a big school project that needs to be turned in tomorrow was being finalized. And of course, all of this had to be done with a lot of laughter, scary noises and frightful decorations.

I have decided to lay low this year until after all of the festivities are over. I don't care for costumes or sweaters or shirts in the first place so I've decided that Halloween isn't really a holiday for me.

How about you? Are you going to trick-or-treat? What is your costume?

Back from our hiatus

Hi friends. We're back from our on-and-off hiatus. It wasn't our choice to take a hiatus but when you rely on your people to log you onto the internet so that you can blog and they are "too busy" well....

(Note to self: when we get to heaven, ask God why he didn't give us thumbs)

We have been super busy even with our kids back in school. Mom has started to tackle a few things on the "honey-do" list even though her honey isn't doing anything to help. She was finally able to tackle the office/computer/meditating/where they keep our kennels/time-out room. It has been in serious need of a new paint job.



We decided that since we weren't doing a whole lot of anything else that we would help. Thank goodness we were there for her.


Tucker made sure that her drop cloth didn't go anywhere. Tinkerbell layed in the middle of the room. I stayed under the desk so I could keep an eye on things and point out spots that she missed.


We know we were huge helps cause she kept telling us how excited she was to have all of us in the room with her so that she would have to constantly be stepping over us. The room is now a lovely shade of grey (I guess it helps being color blind).

Two trees have also been cut down and chopped up. Two more stumps for me to lift my leg on! The wood has been stored on the side of the house for now. We weren't allowed to help with that project. The chain-saw thingy was just way too loud!

Mom has also been spending a lot of time in the recliner in the evenings whining to anyone in general about being old and something about muscles not being used in a while. We've got her taken care of though. I lay next to her pushing her rump further into the side of the recliner. Tucker lays by her feet on the leg of the recliner, making sure to leave her very little room to put her legs and Tink lays under the recliner. When she starts complaining about not having any room, we tune her out with the dulcet tones of Tinks snoring.

A dogs job is never done. She is so lucky to have the three of us.


Later - Oscar

A weekend to celebrate

Weekend Fun

Welcome to the weekend!
We have a lot to celebrate in the next few days.
Our girl Katie turns 16 years old tomorrow!
We are going to help mom make an Oreo cheesecake for her.
Go Katie! You Rock!

Also, here in the states, this weekend is Memorial Day weekend, a time when we remember those who have served and fought for our country so that we may remain a free land. Monday is when we will honor our heros.

Until then...



SUN, FUN
AND
BAR-B-QUE!!!

Open the pools, fire up the grill and lather on the sunscreen!
We're having a huge family get-together on Sunday
and everyone is invited! (since you are all family too).

What?
Don't know where we live or can't make it?
That's okay.
We'll indulge on extra helpings of food on your behalf.
That's what friends are for.


Have a safe, happy,
belly-filling weekend everyone!
