TLC and I went outside to
PLAY!!!
But—
Dad was backing up that big
Scary
Machine.
(This was taken two weeks ago)
So, we ran back inside!
Mom told us Dad was going out to see if the rain made it
Too muddy to get back out
On the Land.
Guess what?!
Dad is BACK ON THE LAND!
TLC and Boo Berry
TLC and I had a big play out in the alfalfa field
It was lots of fun
We had Run
Play
Sniff
This was while we were on a walk with Mom.
Dry dirt is just the best!!!
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mom heard another big storm is heading back in here
NO!
No more this
Or This
Or ANYTHING Like THIS
We want the farming season to begin,
which means DRY!
So, we can PLAY!!
TLC and Boo Berry
Oh, the wonder of MARCH!
The snow did a big melt
The wind helped
And the warmer temperatures
TLC stayed outside the whole day through
Me?
I Stayed with Mom
Mom is my job
TLC says his job is the farm
We both say
(See me in the window and TLC trying to get in?)
Yay! It’s March!
Mom says careful kids, March is tricky
We can still get lots of snow
Or rain
Or something.
For sure she says we will get
WIND!
We don’t care…
It’s March
And the ground is mostly dry!
Boo Berry and TLC
The wind came. (see my ruffled fur)
And the slick ice
and the mud
And then another round of snow
Then more wind. (See the wind in our hair)
Mom says it’s the end of February and all this won’t last. She says it will probably be here until the middle of March, and it will just go away!
We sure hope mom is right.
TLC Cai-Cai and Boo Berry Betty
Guess what my favoritist thing to do is?
Go on a walk with MOM!
I don’t care where we go.
We can go—
Here
And THERE
And well—not where the horses are, they are scary.
We can go with Kya and Black Beauty and Shannon
We can go to the hen house
Or into the yard
I really don’t care.
Just so I’m with MOM!
Boo Berry Betty
Because we sometimes have weather like this
Mom thought I had better have a coat
A COAT!!!?
What does a girl do with a COAT?
I showed Mom.
I just stood there and would NOT move.
Finally, Mom took it off so I could walk around.
(She isn’t going to trap ME in a coat!)
Boo Berry Betty
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!
Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai
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
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
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!
