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

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!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-FOX! Friday, November 4, 2022

Dad called to Mom —“Your cat is clear out in the alfalfa field.”

Mom went to look and exclaimed, “That isn’t TLC Cai-Cai!  That is a FOX!”

“What!?” Dad jumped up out of his chair and went to the door with Mom. “Yes, it is! A FOX!”

“I think I had better really keep an eye on the chickens.  Must be a ‘new to the farm’ fox and is looking for personal territory.” Mom replied.

Now while all this was going on, Boo Berry Betty and I could have TOLD Mom and Dad about the fox, because —well, after all—we already knew.

There are smells.

And footprints.

And sometimes poop is left for us to know that FOX is here.

Mom thought it would be kinda neat to put up a trail camera to see where the Fox might be hanging out.  She picked the garden spot, because, she said, I, yours truly, TLC Cai-Cai, have been acting rather jumpy whenever I am in the garden spot.

Yep! Like I said I could have told her, but she doesn’t really understand my language.

FOX! Fox in the yard!  Eventually, the fox will move on, but for now, everyone, except those rather dumb birds called chickens, is on high alert!

Mom’s still sick.

She has new medication.  Maybe it will work.

Dad has to do EVERYTHING!!!

Get Well Soon, Mom!

TLC Cai-Cai and Boo Berry Betty

(P.S. to catch everyone up—I’ve been fighting pneumonia now for 10 days.  They thought about entering me into the hospital, but I voted for staying in my own house.

It’s been very hard to function.  Although, I do have some new (four different drugs) now that have a least given my back my voice—kinda, sorta, not really.  I take them for five days (four more to go) if, at that time, no results I suppose I have to do the hospital route.

Thanks for still hanging in there.  It’s hard to do too much at one time, but I do think of you and hope you are all staying healthy)

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

“I want in—Don’t you TLC Cai-Cai?”

“Yeah.”

“I want in now!”

“Well, I think you are going to have to wait.” TLC Cai-Cai replied with all the wisdom of a cat.

“Why?  Where is Mom? Where is Dad?”

“Let me look” TLC Cai-Cai responded.  “Inside. Dad is inside.”

“I WANT IN NOW———HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

“Oh, hush! Mom is out here somewhere.  Dad is inside.  He doesn’t listen when you cry.”

BAM!

“WOW! What was THAT?!” Mom asked as she came around the corner with her wheelbarrow.

Suddenly Dad was at the back door.

“WHAT was THAT?” We all asked Dad.

“It sounded like a gun!” Mom exclaimed.

“It was—Dove season has begun. And our new neighbors are sighting in their guns.” Dad explained.

BAM!

“Oh, geez, Get in the house quick, Fur Kids…. guns and little animals don’t mix AT ALL!”

Mom opened the door.

You know the rest of the story—run inside and SCATTER to our favorite places to hide!

P.S. This is the end of SCATTER.  Story Over.  TLC Cai-Cai 😊

Mom and I!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!

That’s how I like it.

Mom and I.

Although, I do like The cat!

And I do like being

WITH MOM WHEN I AM OUTSIDE!

I don’t like outside

If Mom is Inside and

I am outside.

If something HUGE

shows up

TLC Cai-Cai

And

I

SCATTER!

I was out and about just enjoying myself

Doing this and that

The dog, our dog—Boo Berry Betty—had come out

Then had gone back in.

I was getting a tad bored

 

So, I headed to the dirt pile

This is a big pile of dirt Dad keeps for

Repairing the roads, and ditch banks

And stuff like that

So anyway, Out I went

It was warm and sunny

I decided Mouse would taste good

Right about now.

When

SUDDENLY I SAW

DANGER

The only thing left for me to do

WAS


SCATTER!

“Gosh, Boo Berry Betty.  Mom and Dad have been B.U.S.Y!”

“I see that.  They are going here and there and everywhere on the farm, in the yard, just everywhere.”

“Yes, and you have to FAST if you want to get inside and eat something.”

“Or just get inside, it’s HOT out here.”

“Aren’t you glad we are NOT people?  Their work seems so HARD, Boo Berry Betty, we just get to do fun things all the time.”

“Yeh, but—we can’t go in when we want to.”

Why do you worry, you only come outside when you are with Mom?”

“Well, outside is so BIG!  I just like inside better.” Boo Berry Betty replied.

“What are Mom and Dad doing now, TLC Cai-Cai?”

“Gosh, Boo Berry Betty, they SCATTERED!”

There is something just marvelous

About

Birds!

Just so you know.

Although, Mom says I like them for the wrong reasons.

Not really, Mom.

I like them because they are….

DO NOT EVEN THINK OF IT!!! Mom yelled at me.

Shish!

Hummmm I like them because they have lift off

They can fly

AND THEY CAN

SCATTER!  

They did, lift-off,

and they did

Scatter.

Sigh

I know, I know!  You think Boo Berry Betty and I, Yours Truly, TLC Cai-Cai are the only ones who can make the hens scatter!

Well, I’m here to tell you—Mom can too.  (Sometimes, not often, but, yes, sometimes.)

And the big, loud, HUGE machines can make the hens squawk and run.

BUT—-

Those hens have a few tricks in their feathers, let me tell you.

For one thing—NEVER! EVER! Chase Skitter Bug.  EVER!!  She has a very pointy, sharp beak.  Just say’n.

And—Skitter is very much in charge of her flock and her BIRD SEED!

See Mom scatters bird seed out by the hen run so the birds will stay out of the hen house; the birds like to eat the chicken feed.

So Mom puts bird seed or hen scratch outside the run for the birds.

Now, if Skitter Bug sees the birds pecking around on the food on the ground—

Well, just let me say—

Skitter knows how to make those little birds

SCATTER!
