Good News and Bad News…

First, the Good News! We had been visiting with Sugar the Golden Retriever, on her blog, and found out that she and her Mom make DOG COOKIES and treats! We finally got Grammy to go to Sugar’s Paw House and get US some COOKIES!

We were so excited, when she got them ordered, and we could hardly wait until she got the box opened when they got here!WOW! Look at ALL THE GOODIES! 

First, we tried some of the Veggie Hearts. They are all natural, with lots of good things in them, and wheat free! These had apple sauce, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, apple pieces and carrots. They were pretty good!

Then we tried the Pumpkin Bones…

They were good, too! They have rice, pumpkin (of course), cinnamon, ginger, and dried eggs with some other good stuff. They smelled good, too!

Unca BG pouted until he got seconds on those! Grammy has trouble resisting sad eyes… which CAN work toward our advantage.

 I kept nudging the bag with the Apple Bites in it and Grammy finally pulled it out!

The others were good, but THESE were our favorites! Grandma OC scooted herself across the room so she could be next to Grammy after she got a taste of those Apple Bites!

They have oatmeal, applesauce, apple bits, molasses, dried eggs, and cinnamon with some other good, healthy stuff too! They were little, and light, and Grammy says they will be just right for training treats.

Here is Pippin, sneaking one of Unca BG’s when he went after one that rolled.

He grabbed a few and then took them away from where everyone else was (on the other side of OC’s fence) and guarded his treasure! 

He is a BRAT that way… We waits until everyone else is done with there’s and all eyes are on HIM, and then he eats and looks at us like “Don’t you wish YOU still had some?!” He takes after Mama Dott that way…

Unca BG wanted to stay close to Grammy where the handouts were, but even he backed off a bit with Miss Mercy came in to get hers! She can get pretty nasty sometimes! 

Those Apple Bites smelled so good that Grammy even tried one… but she says they are a bit hard on her teeth…

Sugar was even so sweet that she gave us some extra treats! Thanks Sugar, and Mom! You made our day!

Now for the bad news… Grammy has been trying to do too much lately, and we’ve caught her crying about it. The holidays are coming up and things are really stacking up, and she is “just getting too much on her plate” as she puts it. Now, too much on OUR plates is always a good thing… in fact, HOW can you get TOO much on your plate?

Anyway, we are sad, but have come to the decision to stop blogging… at least for a while… so that Grammy doesn’t have to help us with that. We will try to get around to our friend’s blogs whenever we can, but for now, we are going to quit bugging Grammy and give her a little break. We know that all of you love your people, and will understand. So for now, we love all of you and wish you the best over the Howlodays! The Country Corgi Crew…

Happiness! By OC

Since that last fight several months ago, in May, Grammy has made it a rule that I am never to be allowed in the same open area as that “Absence of Light” or AOL dog!

I guess I really scared Grammy. I got pretty chewed up that time, and she still cries when she looks at the pictures. Actually I was hurt by Mercy who got mixed up and attacked me because Grammy was holding AOL down and yelling at ME to get back and no one else was home to help her.

(Grammy: For those who don’t know, OC is talking about Sadie, our Border Collie. OC has a MAJOR problem with her. She really brings out the “Green-eyed Jealousy Monster” in OC.

When in OC’s presence, AOL is the name we use because OC has a barking fit if we even say Sadie’s name out loud. OC is the one who attacks Sadie, who only fights to protect herself.)

Our house is built in a way that makes it fairly easy to keep that other dog out of MY area.

I usually have the bedrooms, hallway, and part of the living room that they have fenced off so that I can be in beside Grammy when she is on the computer, while AOL has the kitchen (which allows her to go outside) and the rest of the living room, because, apparently, Grammy likes her.

When I have to go outside, AOL gets shut into the living room, and the hall door is opened into the kitchen so that I can go out.

Sometimes, I get depressed and sad being locked up all the time…

When Grammy notices that I am really mopey, she will sometimes let me come out into the living room and sit on Papa’s lap so that I am, once again, a part of the family! That always makes me so HAPPY!

Ahhhhhhh....Queen of my Domain again!

We Found a SNAKE! By Mercy

The other day, we were out in the front yard and guess what I found! It was a long, living rope, that moved and wiggled, and it was right by our front yard fence!

I called Auntie Sadie and she said that it was a SNAKE! She said they can be very bad and not to get to close. She said you need to be ready to jump back cause they might try to jump at you and BITE you!

She started yelling at it and alerting our people, so Mama Dott and I helped her.

Pretty soon, GrandPaw Robert came out and took a look. Apparently this one wasn’t the really bad kind of snake and he told us we were good to have told him about it!

He went in and got the flashy box and took pictures, then chased it off into the woodpile so it can catch mice and maybe keep the bad kind of snakes away.
