It’s MINE… By Gimli

I stole this FAIR AND SQUARE from Pippin… 

It is MINE now…

MINE, I tell you… 

Now… What do I do with it?

(Grammy:  He proudly brought it in and dropped it at the foot of our bed.  I ended up hauling it out!  This one's twin brother has been teasing them out the side door- and still was yesterday.  It sits outside the door and cleans itself and flips it's little tail, etc.  I watched it with all the corgis going nuts trying to get through the glass!)

We Got in Trouble…

Ooops... Auntie Sadie and I got in trouble this afternoon. Today was such a BEAUTIFUL day, weather-wise. Really nice and cool compared to what it has been. It only got up to 80 degrees and there was a nice, cool breeze blowing.


Late this afternoon, Mom decided to take us out for a nice long walk in the side pastures. We ran and played, and did squirrel patrol, of course. It was really great! THEN…. we flushed a RABBIT out from under that old Dart car out there!


The chase was ON! Mom let us run across the side pasture AND the back pasture, and then whistled and called us to come back just before we hit the other side of the back pasture, behind the neighbor dog’s property.


Mama OC had only gotten about a quarter of the way across the back pasture, and she turned around and came back right away. Dott got just under the fence, but then decided she had better come back too.

About that time, the neighbor dogs got almost up to the top corner of their property where we were and started to yell at us. We WEREN’T even IN their property line… just behind it… at that point… They turned and headed toward where Dott was coming back down the fence line on our side of the fence, so Sadie took out through their back barbed wire fence and got between them and Dott.

Yes, Mom, I KNOW that the fence back there wouldn’t let them come through and get Dott at that point, but since Sadie was over there and it was three to one, I COULDN’T let her fight it out ALONE, could I?

Yes, I HEARD you calling me… remember, I turned and started to come back, but then they attacked Sadie again, so I HAD to go back!

Anyway, we finally convinced them to leave us alone and we came back. Mom had about lost her voice by then though, and she was pretty HOT, and I don’t mean temperature-wise. We had to get back in the yard, and she is talking about grounding Sadie and I for awhile. She did that a few weeks ago when we had our last fight, and we’ve stuck pretty close to her since then.

It really was all that RABBIT’S fault! We wouldn’t have been over there if it hadn’t run over that way!...

Well, actually, it was more those nasty neighbor dog’s fault. We weren’t on their property until they tried to get at Dott…

Would you believe, Mom should have called us back from half way across our back pasture instead of waiting until we were all the way across? Hmmm… Ok, OK!!! WE broke the rules, and we are sorry. WHAT do you MEAN, we are STILL GROUNDED?! Grrr… You better quit laughing, Dott…

Note from Mom: Fight pics were taken by Robert during that LAST fight BG mentioned... I was to busy yelling to take pictures!!! Robert can yell AND take pictures...
