Important Moments in My Life

Garden Terrors

Chiasso's stainless steel spheres enter my world...

Mom read in the newspaper "Nestle one of amongst the greenery and watch how the light plays." So she ordered it and put it out immediately on her way to get me from the barn after work.

I had just experienced a hard day sleeping with the cats and supervising the horses and THIS is how am I rewarded. Suddenly there was this dog face who came closer every time I tried to creep up on him. I would tip toe through the garden from different directions and EVERY time THAT DOG was there. I would reconnoiter but to no avail. Meanwhile Mom is laughing hysterically in the house and called her Mom to report my activities. Is there no decency left in this world?

Dog Beach

What a wonderful concept! I enjoyed swimming and meeting dogs but I needed to see just how far the beach went in each direction. Mom had to chase me down many times. I might have made it to Miami from Fort Lauderdale if she would let me try. I have been twice now but had to stay on the leash the second time. It cost SEVEN dollars for me to go to the beach and nothing for the humans. You can see the Floridians know who are the important ones.

What Mom Forgot

Mom hit a deer with her car Thursday about 2 miles from home on the way to work this week. Do you know that she didn't put it in the trunk and bring it home to me! Maybe she is going to save it till Christmas for me so it will be nicely rotted.

The side of car looks a little different. And here you can see that she had a tasty treat that should have come home to me. Maybe the insurance guys will bring it home to me.

Oh no, I forgot to tell you the most important part. Instead of paying $5 a day for car rental while our car is in the shop, Mom got a deal. She only has to pay $1.90 a day. She brought in my phone book, showed them my picture and said a celebrity would be riding in the car so could she have a discount. She only asked for a 50 cent discount but got $3 off a day .... ALL due to me. Boy is she lucky to have me.
