Good Morning and WELCOME to another exciting week………..well, maybe exciting – I guess it’s too early to tell right? I know that for ME it’s exciting because I will be finalizing my Teaser photo for all of you for tomorrow. It WILL be a Guest Teaser but I’m still deciding WHICH Guest will be teasing you – I have some doozies to choose from TRUST ME!
Remember we have new badges and I KNOW you want one of those right? Our winners last week were quite excited about getting new badges so get ready to be FIRST COMMENTER, FIRST RIGHT GUESSER, RIGHT GUESSER or NO WAY BABY GREENIE !!
Other than that, what’s happening in my world? Well yesterday with the heat and humidity factored in together it was 105 degrees here! HOT? Oh yeah baby indeed it was. I did ask politely to go outside a couple of times but after the second time when I discovered it was hotter than “you know what” out that, I decided to keep cool INSIDE. Mom (who must have had a case of temporary insanity) decided to mow the lawn. Yep – that’s what I said – MOW THE LAWN. Dad offered to do it but NOOOOOOOOOOO – Mom lathered up with sunblock, put her hat on and out she went. She got it all done in 45 minutes then came inside and drank a HUGE glass of lemon iced tea. I watched from inside – thinking Mom would fall off the tractor in a big sweaty heap as she traveled around the front and back yard but she didn’t…..she soldiered on until it was done.
Those of you who are now official “Sammy’s Pill Watchers” (hahaha) will be happy to know that I have had my WHOLE PILL for three days in a row! Maybe I should make a badge for all of you who want to post it on your blogs showing you’re on my PILL WATCHING TEAM…….HAHAHAHAHA
Hope all of you have a spectacular day……………..Mom’s headed to the grocery and Dad is heading for the airport. Me? Why I’m NAPPING of course!
three days in a row? that’s pawsome… and you are a superbrave boy! we can’t mow our lawn, it currently rains dogs&cats (butt no Weimaraners, I’ve checked that) I’m ready fur tomorrow… butt let’s say… ummm well….. maine usa?

Hi Charles! You know what? Mom was NOT smart to mow in that 105 degree heat…..but at least she did it the right way – with skin and head protection! Today the weather is the same – it’s just DARNED HOT here which is very unusual! Hope you are keeping cool too Charles!

Hi Sammy,
A pat on your back for having been so brave as to take your pills for 3 days now! That’s really great.
Quite a heatwave you had. Here it’s still very bearable, with a max of 96, and not too much humidity. The Texas Hill Country usually is not (too) unpleasant.
I admire your mom, but maybe she should have waited till the evening hours. She could have gotten a heat stroke.
I haven’t mowed our lawn yet. It doesn’t seem to grow as fast now that we have drier weather. But some time this week it’ll be necessary. Then it’ll take me between 4 and 5 hours, “zooming” around on our lawn tractor.
Have a great day, and keep being a good boy re your pills,
Pit
P.S.: Chiquita is still quite picky with her pills and food. So we’re trying something different every day. That old girl DOES get spoiled. 😉 But she’s worth it!!!

Thanks Mr. Pit – I’m trying to be brave and take my pills every day so Mom won’t get sad. She SHOULD have waited until evening to mow but she figured most of our yard is in the shade and she needed to do it when she FELT like doing it so she did! Tell Chiquita that my current preferred method of pill-taking is (a) Gerber ham with ham gravy baby food AND (2) Gerber beef with beef gravy baby food. Maybe that will last – probably not – Mom will think of something!

LOVES the new badges! Because of the heat here, Mommy and Daddy both mow, they fire up the old lawn mower and the new lawn mover. Mommy starts in the back and Daddy starts in the front and they both go and go until it is all done. Takes about 1/2 hour. They tries to does it early in the morning when it is still coolish. Today they is unpacking the stuff we bringed back from Calgary…
Mommy cleaned out her old dresser and gotted 2 bags of clothes she can’t wear unless she losses some weight to goes to the Thrift Store, then she dragged the old dresser out to the curb and she is now filling the dresser from BC with her clothes.
Next, the boxes of stuff to goes into the kitchen…mes has no IDEA where shes going to puts it…
