Friday! Time to have some fun with filling in the blanks on the four sentences our co-hosts give us every week. Ellen of 15andMeowing and Annie of McGuffy’s Reader both give us TWO sentences to finish up in this fun Hop – the result is those of us who fill in the blanks learn a lot of interesting STUFF about each other! It’s fun! Want to join us? Just click on the badge above, fill in the LINKY tool and that’s all there is to it!!
Here are this week’s four sentences and I let my Mom fill them in for us………her own words are in RED.
1. Teddy keeps me BUSY – when he’s awake he’s a bundle of energy.
2. Honesty is the secret to lasting friendships.
3. A friend is a GIFT to be cherished.
4. Right now, I am thankful to be alive.
OK Mom – good job! I guess I am a bit of a “hand full” aren’t I! I can bug you and Dad to bits when I want to go outside – now that I’ve learned how to say “OWWA” (out) I say it at the front door while trying to open it myself with my two paws. Well Angel Sammy taught me that one so you can blame him. HAHA I’m sorry one of my favorite things is wallowing in the dirt when I’m out there though. I have three favorite spots in the yard that have no grass and are just DIRT and boy do I love to roll around in those spots! Daddy calls me his little “dirtball”………and you call me your little “piggy”. I’m glad I can provide entertainment for you two………….
My Mom is going to mow the yard for the first time this Spring tomorrow. She’s so excited you’d think she’s going on a trip or something. She loves to mow. The best thing about all of that is that it is truly STARTING to feel Spring-like here. We have a couple of days in the 80s coming up before it dips back down into the 50s/60s and leaf buds are coming out on the trees. It’s been EVER so slow coming but we’re happy to see it at long last.
We all hope you have a great Friday and weekend……………..and that Spring is reaching you wherever you may be!
Love and Spring-like hugs, Teddy

Spring has reached us in that the plants and trees are coming back to life, the birds are busy with their nests, there are lambs in the fields. But the weather is more than a little temperamental, winter won’t quite leave!
Have a great weekend!

We would be very happy to let your Mom come mow the yard here whenever she would like. Yin loves rolling in dirt too. And thanks to the dogs and their holes in the yard there is plenty of dirt. You are welcome to come roll in the dirt here whenever you would like.

Oh wow! Dirt? Holes? Now you’re talkin’! Thanks for the invite……Mom says she might pass on the lawn mowing thing though – our yard is a bit of a challenge and with the erosion over the winter I’m thinking she will have a bumpier ride than last year. She’s liable to be a little bit SORE (if you know what I mean) by the time she gets off that lawn tractor….tee hee….hope there are some available tushie cushions in the house!

Your mom is going to cut the lawn? We barely see the lawn! Next to the house the grass is turning greenish but out a bit further the grass is brown and yucky looking. A good month and a half before mowing. I would guess the the end of May.

YAY! I’m glad you’re finally getting spring there! We’re supposed to be having cold temps tonight, in the 40s, but we’ve had days into the 80s. Usually, we reach 100 degrees before the end of April. So far, we haven’t and I hope we miss that appointment. 🙂
We’re glad you’re alive, too! I also love to mow grass, but every time I get a good groove going with it, they make me stop to take a rest. OY! Enjoy your mowing!

We were in the 60s most of Sunday. It is 51 right now (just after midnight) and supposed to get down to 47. I guess we’re going to have a cool ride to wound care in the morning!
I’m glad you enjoyed the mowing. I did, too, but now I have poison-something (ivy, oak, I don’t know) and it itches like mad. Enjoy the rain. 🙂

Thank you. So far no luck on getting rid of the itch. I have a clear calamine lotion that I’ve been using, but I’m still itching like mad. I’m nearly tempted to just peel the skin off and be done with it, but it would be my luck that I would then have poison-whatever on the inside, too.
