The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Fading Year, December 30, 2022

The year is going fast, faster, fastest now.

Each day is getting closer to the end

Then we will begin again.

What a year it has been!

“I got a new home,” Boo Berry Betty Brown

“I got a new sister,” TLC Cai-Cai

And Mom and Dad got to have TWO fur kids!

YAY!

Merry Christmas My Friends —- Sunday, December 25, 2022

I am so delighted to have you very human people — as very human, friends

Being among people such as you has given me such joy!

All of us, each and every one of us, has grown through gentle touches and sometimes very hard knocks

Resulting in a gift called maturity!

A gift where judgments are no longer necessary

As we all know living is sometimes hard and sometimes joyful.

And sending out love the best we can is the only way to live.

Merry Christmas to you and yours–always!

From our hearts to Your world,

Terry, Linda, TLC Cai-Cai, Boo Berry Betty, and all the hens  🙂

 

 

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Getting Closer, Friday, December 23, 2022

It’s been super cold here.

Like almost Zero cold

We don’t like going outside.

But we do. (Business to take care of, you do understand)

Sometimes we go with Mom

Sometimes we run out the door with Dad

But

Mostly we stay inside by the fire

Just say’n.

Oh! Yes!  It’s almost Christmas!

Merry Christmas from Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-A Dogs Purpose as I Understand It—,Friday, December 16, 2022

I’ve been here since June.

It’s taken me a while to understand what I am supposed to do

Before it was: be pregnant, then meet the boy, then be pregnant again.

Now THAT is finished and done with.

So—here is my New purpose in life—

Guard Mom and Dad and sometimes TLC Cai-Cai. (Just sometimes)

I follow Mom everywhere!

And I do mean EVERYWHERE!

I growl at the door when something or someone strange is there

I’ve learned to help put up the chickens — only when Mom tells me too

And I have enjoyed immensely going on walks with Mom.

I have grown to the place I can go outside by myself for a short while.  Not long I get worried about Mom and the house, and my soft beds.

But Still.

I haven’t learned how to sit on a lap and relax yet, but I do like to ride on Mom’s lap in the truck and look outside.

Oh! Yes! And I love going in my little blue box for rides on the four-wheeler.

Mom says I am getting better and better about learning how to

Just be a dog!

YAY! ME!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-A Cat’s Purpose, Well, at Least Mine, Friday, December 09, 2022

You might think a cat’s purpose

Is to sit on your lap and purr.

Nope.

Not my purpose.

I only sit on Mom’s lap WHEN I WANT TOO

If she picks me up

I jump right back down.

Now if I JUMP up,

then YES,

I will sit there and let her pet me and I will purr.

For me

My Purpose

Is to protect the farm

And I take it very seriously

I travel here

And there

And all over.

After all—

The dog just stays in the house

Unless she is with Mom.

Just Say’n,

TLC Cai-Cai

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-COWS!!!! COWS!!!!, Friday, December 2, 2022

Traalalalla—“Let’s go do the chickens with Mom, Boo Berry.”

“Okay, doaky.”

“Bye—I’ve got stuff to do.”

“Not me, I stick to Mom like glue.” Boo Berry Betty replied.

“Works for me.” TLC Cai-Cai hollered as he took off to do whatever it is he liked to do.

“Come on Boo Berry, we’ve got stuff to do.  This is a big day.”

Mom scooped me up, put me in the pick-up with Dad and we headed down to —I don’t know where.  I can’t see out, and I don’t like to look out.

Then we were there.

And so was a big truck and a HUGE truck Mom called a semi.

Oh!

My!

GOSH!

BIG ANIMALS!

Shudder and shake

“You stay in here, Girly Girl”, Mom said, as she gave me a kiss on the nose.  “The cows have come!”

Wow! Those are HUGE ANIMALS!

HUGE!

It wasn’t long before we were heading back to the house.

There I met TLC — “HUGE ANIMALS HAVE ARRIVED ON THE FARM!”  I barked at him.

“I know,” he replied.  “Cows, they come this time every year.  We have to be careful around them and not get kicked.”

“I don’t plan on ever being around them,” I expounded to TLC Cai-Cai.  “Those feet are bigger than the both of us!”

“Yep, you are right.  Hey, race ya to the house.  Whoever gets there first gets to get in first!”  TLC took off in a mad dash.

“You can’t beat me!” Boo Berry Betty ran equal to TLC Cai-Cai arriving at the back door at the same time.

“You silly little creatures,” Mom reached down and petted us. “You can’t go in until I open the door.”

As soon as the door was open, TLC ducked under and flew right into the kitchen—Boo Berry right behind him

“What would I do if I didn’t have you crazy cute animals to liven up the day?” Mom laughed as we all tumbled into the kitchen.

“Whew, Boo Berry…thankfully there are no cows in the house!”

“Yes! What a terrible thought that is.  But we are safe in here.”

YAY!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-WOW! Really WOW!, Friday November 25, 2022

The corn harvest has started!

Mom says, “We are on our way!”

I say: “SCARY BIG MACHINE!”

I can handle it when I am with Mom.  That is about all.

(Oh, By the way—

the cat hides in the house.  At least I’m with Mom!)

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Teasing the Dog, Friday, November 18, 2022

I know!

I know!

The dog is still learning

How to be a

DOG!

But—

As you well know

I am bigger

Taller

And I even weigh

More

Which means

I AM SMARTER!

So—

Just for fun…

I LOVE to tease the dog!

Like  When on a walk

Show her something  Unique

Like the water tube

I run to the tube

Look in the tube

Meow

The dog comes over

Looks into the tube

I encourage the dog

To go INTO the tube

She does!

Gullible, you know

Then she comes out

And asked me:

“What was so neat about that?”

“Nothing,” I reply.  “Nothing.”

TEE HEE

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Farm Work, November 11, 2022

This is me!  The new way of being ME!

FARM DOG!

No longer am I afraid out on the farm.

If Mom goes out on the farm

I go out on the farm

Once on the farm, Mom puts me on the ground and I sniff around all over the place. But I always, always, keep myself close to Mom!  ALWAYS!

If we don’t go on the four-wheeler,

Then we walk.

I LOVE WALKING!

Although I don’t want to walk the whole farm, it’s too big and

I would get tired

 

FARM! DOG!

 

That’s Me!

Boo Berry Betty BROWN!!!
