Outdoorsy & Indoorsy Pix

It's been a difficult week and I'm not feeling particularly inspired to do anything. I really miss Mum. My nephew said, "I keep thinking she's just on one of her trips and she'll be coming back."  I did a tribute to her on the Labyrinth Gal blog.

In the meantime, here are some pix from this week:

Reggie.

 I looked out the window to see Reggie and Buddy playing with a great, long stick. Of course when I came out with the camera, Reggie was outta there. But here's Buddy with the stick:

Kinda hard to tell. He's just sitting there, with a stick in front of him. You wouldn't prolly notice it if I didn't point it out. 

My sweet Bingo-dingo:

Back to Buddy, gnawing on the stick:

Stick in his mouth:

Boudoir shots with my phone:

I never get tired of him doing "Frog Pose" in doggy yoga. So cute!

*yawn*

Tabby comes:

You can't hear him purring, but he is. :-)

And one more, Thursday night, by my side:

Zzzzz . . . .

Back from Mama Rita's

It has been quite the week! I was in Phoenix for a conference, so the dogs were at Other Mama Rita's. This past Tuesday, while I was still in Phoenix, Mum was in a really bad car accident. We don't know the details of how it happened, and Mum doesn't remember. I will do a post on my the Labyrinth Gal blog later this week, but she is progressing and doing well.

OK, on to Doggie Monday!  I flew back on Wednesday night, and got to Mama Rita's at 9:30-ish. Reggie came up to me all waggy and licking my hand. Bingo was her happy self. And Buddy was all ROO-ROO! and jumping up on my legs. Rita's "children" Dana & Roy came in to say hi, too. And then we all  had a nice chit-chat vizzie in the living room along with Rita's sister, T.

I guess we were boring, because when it was time to leave, where was Buddy? Here:

In Rita's bedroom.

See how his back is up against the covers? So sweet.

It was so nice to have my snuggle-beagle back! Nothing like being HOME and in my own bed!

Our first morning back, and the dogs are back on their regular schedule. Here's Reggie in his crate with his dog puzzle feeder to slow down his eating. And here's Buddy making sure Reggie didn't miss a morsel, after he ate from his own feeder in the kitchen:

Reggie is not happy, but he is so patient!

Sunday morning I took a few pix before heading to the hospital to see Mum:

Lawnmower Ben cleared the yard of leaves.

 View of Bingo out the window:

And here's Buddy:

Bingo:

And then she got up to come be petted:

I called the dogs in so that I could go to the hospital. Reggie and Bingo were in the living room. And Buddy? Here's Buddy:

I put the covers on him:

My sweet snuggle bunny. :-)

Doggie Monday

Here are a few pix from this week taken with my phone:

Buddy on the sheepskin that's on the bed, now. You can't tell from
the photo, but I tried to wash it and it has a tinge of greenish-blue to it.

Here's a photo of all three dogs in the office with me:

Here's Reggie, wagging his tail:

Another time with Reggie:

He was lying down but got up when I moved to take his photo!

Mr. Waggy again:

Bingo, Reggie & Buddy amidst the destruction of paper products from the recycling bin.

Reggie again:

Reggie yawns, Bingo sleeps.

Mr. Waggy again!

Coming to say hello:

Buddy all snuggley in bed:

Hullo.

Buddy fell asleeeeeep . . . 

. . . by my suitcase, pictured right.

 Buddy all snuggley in the meditation chair:

Can you stand such cuteness?!

His ear flopped over his eye:

See how he bunched up the sheet for his nest?

Back in the office, Tabby was all curled up with Bingo, but got up when I was taking the photo:

I was in the office and I heard Buddy ROO-ROOing from the back yard. Then Reggie came in and squeaked at me like, "Buddy needs help." So I went into the back yard and saw this:

At the back of the fence WITH MY TRADER JOES GROCERY FREEZER BAG!

 But Buddy just stayed at the back even when he looked around and saw me. He ROO-ROOed again. So I walked back to him and discovered that he had twisted one handle around both back legs, and the other one around his front right leg. OH, DEAR!

 Now to be fair to him, this was what I had brought the Costco rotisserie chicken in, so he prolly smelled remnants. I freed his legs and started back to the house.

As I was walking back to the house, I looked over and saw this:

Then I looked inside and realized that Buddy had shred the inside! I popped down for a vizzie with Rita and told her about the bag. She said I had left one behind a few months ago, so she gave it to me. I went to do a grocery shop later that day, and when I opened it, I discovered this:

Another shredded bag! Buddy strikes again!

 Speaking of Buddy, here he is looking at Mail Carrier Tessa coming to the house. With treats, of course!

HAPPY Monday!  :-)
