And the Heat Rolls On—Friday, July 21, 2023

It is HOT! Mom! HOT!

I NEED IN! MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Hot isn’t too bad…I can do hot! I just hang in the shade.

What I can’t do is the wind!!!

Hot and WIND! I need in, also!

(We need rain…to settle the dust and to cool us down. It can rain anytime now, but come next week—no, rain—we will be cutting the alfalfa for the second time this year)

Shave and a Hair Cut, Two Bits–Tuesday, July 18, 2023

Mom said, “Boo Berry, I think it’s time for a bath and a haircut.”

So she picked me up—took me on a car ride. Dropped me off and LEFT ME!!!

Then came and got me (I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE MOM)!

“Nice!” Mom proclaimed.

“Very Nice”, announced Dad

Cooler, I thought!

Boo Berry Betty!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-What Mom and Dad Have Been Doing, Friday, July 14, 2023

It has been busy, busy, busy around here

Busy enough I have to hide–

-because there is a tractor and a big truck involved

In and out of the yard

Trip after trip after trip

Three days worth

It was exhausting just trying to hide in the house from the big truck

And hiding from all the loud noise and big tires—exhausting!

Finally, Dad announced at lunch-LAST LOAD for the year, coming up

Mom said: “That was as hard as finally getting all the woodcut and moved.”

Done! Dad announced at the end of the third day! DONE!

Whew!

TLC and

Boo Berry YAY! DONE!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Wind! Wind! and More Wind!, Friday, June 30, 2023

Posted on June 30, 2023 by Dayphoto

The wind is terrible here—

Has been for days and days and days

Wind– like this wind from last year!

And the heat is hard and miserable (although, Mom rather likes it—Mom is silly)

So, Boo and I are staying inside. Where it’s NOT windy!

Mom and I were out doing the chores—which means, helping Dad

Change the water.

Suddenly Mom looked down and said: “WOW! LOOK, Boo Berry! The earth has given us

A heart!

Mom and I did a little dance!

Boo Berry Betty!

Hello. My name is Boo Berry Betty BROWN! — Friday, June 9, 2023

Hello. My name is Boo Berry Betty BROWN!

Mom says I get to tell MY story:

I have been here since June 14, 2022

It took me a long-time to understand what I am supposed to do.

My life before was babies. I was bred by my first breeder when I was 9 months old.

Then there were puppies.

Then a little break where I really missed my babies. BUT—

The boy dog took care of me missing my puppies and gave me more.

This went on for twice a year for two years.

Then—-I went to live with another breeder. A really nice man.

BUT—the story was the same.

Boy dog.

Puppies.

Boy dog

Puppies.

For a year and ½.

I lost my last two litters—–

My really nice man breeder asked my MOM!!!

YAY! MOM!!!

If she would like to take me home; he was retiring me.

YAY!
Now all that puppy stuff is over.

I have a new purpose in life:

I have learned to not wet the floor
I have learned how to do my private stuff OUTSIDE (having to do my private stuff where I lived and ate was kind of rough)
Guard Mom and Dad
and sometimes TLC Cai-Cai. (Just sometimes)
follow Mom everywhere! And I do mean EVERYWHERE!
Growl at the door when something or someone strange is there
BARK LOUD when someone or something strange shows up

Help put up the chickens — only when Mom tells me to—I have to remember ONLY if Mom asks me to help
I have enjoyed immensely going on walks with Mom.
I have learned I can RUN!!! And I can RUN FAST!

I have grown to the spot I can go outside by myself for a short while. Not long I get worried about Mom and the house, and my soft beds
I have finally learned how to sit on a lap and relax
I can ride on Mom’s lap in the car or truck

And I can ride in my special blue box on the four-wheeler

I love playing with my very own cat—TLC Cai-Cai

TLC and I go outside together every morning. We play a little bit, then TLC goes off to do Cat stuff and I go to the backdoor and wait for Mom to call me 😊
