The Adventures of Boomer on Friday—A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That

It’s been a busy week!

ddWe’ve — meaning Mom, Dad and myself, have gone

Through-a-glass

here and there,

Townand then over there, and then back there.

Good-HorseRomeo, my oldest sister’s horse and my oldest sister came over to see us.  I barked at Romeo…in the BACK of Romeo, but he turned around REAL fast and snuffled all over me.

Everyone laughed because I laid as flat as I could get on the ground. I didn’t think it was funny at all.

Let’s just say Romeo and I have an understanding…I don’t bark at Romeo anymore. There is just something rather intimidating about a HUGE horse nose sniffing all over your rather small dog body.

Sammy and I scared up a ghost one night, we were outside by the gated pipe, just hanging around, when we heard the back door open and then close.  I was going to head in to see if Mom or Dad came out, but the door sounds came again, so I figured whomever it was, had already gone back inside.

HuntAbout that time, Sammy scared up a couple of mice, which he and I gave a good chase.

After, that the night air was starting to cool down—I gave Sam the good-bye paw and headed back toward the house.

Alert Just then a ghost came around the grain bins!  Sam and I let out a holler, meowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww,  WOOOOOOOF!

Me

GHOST!!!!

Silly us…it was just Mom.

Ahhh-Town

The next day Mom and I went to town again, when we got home…

Bone

I HAD a new yummy bone!

Sure has been a busy week!

The Adventures of Fuzzy and Boomer on Friday — The Lazy Days of Summer

Summer (well technically we aren’t there yet, but its hot enough a Dog can call it summer) is the bestest of times.

Sure beats winter…freezing cold, so cold your nose freezes shut, wind that takes your nose right off your face and then laughs at you because you can’t breathe anymore and no rides in the back of the pick-up because it is just WAY TOO COLD!

Boom-in-town

Just like in winter we go everywhere with Mom and sometimes Dad.  But in summer they go lots more places we get to go with them too—

Fuzzy-in-town

Like town—Fuzzy and I wait with Mom while Dad goes into the parts store or the hardware store…Mom always waits with us because there are people around that will kidnap dogs.

Hot-dogs-in-town

We always go irrigating and sometimes just for walks with Mom.  There we see things like rabbits…

BunnyI NEVER CHASE RABBITS.  Mom says I’m a funny beagle because that is what my breed was bred for…to CHASE RABBITS.

More-Bunny

But I don’t.

They are my friends.

I’m more interested in just smelling the smells and seeing what news is out there.  Maybe I was a news reporter in my former life.  Tee hee, hahaha…snort, churckle!

Robin-in-the-morning

Fuzzy likes to bark at the birds…he never bothers the Robins, but he sure does like to bark at the Barn Swallows!  🙂

Rolling-Bales

We help with hay, the irrigation, (morning, noon and night) and we work with Mom in her yard.

Smiling-Dogs

Lately the heat has been ‘over-the-top’ not just the heat but lots and lots of high winds.  But Fuzzy and I have it figured out how to stay cool.

Hot-Dogs

Nothing beats underneath Dad’s pick-up!

Very-Hot-Dogs

Nothing!

We lay under there and we stay cool and unruffled!

On top of all of those really cool things to do we get to chase

Squirrel

SQUIRRELS!!!

Fast-Squirrel

Gotta go!  HURRY FUZZY HE IS HERE!

Boomer

The Adventures of Fuzzy and Boomer on Friday — What More Can I Say ?!?

The next to the last field has been opened —  that means Dad is done doing enough of the tractor work it’s time to put the gated pipe together and start the water on that field.  This field is another corn field, but the gated pipe will water the pinto bean field.

Dad and Mom had to put the pipe together for the pinto bean field because the run off from the last corn field goes to water the bean field and the last alfalfa field before leaving our farm and heading on over to the next farm.  But since the bean ground isn’t ready yet, the water will run through the gated pipe anyway and water the older alfalfa field then leave our farm.

We moved siphon tubes and got the water flowing.  Sure was a good feeling.

The next day, Mom asked us to get in the back of the pick-up and go to TOWN.

Oh, what joy!

Boomer has learned to hop in the back now and he loves to ride with us.  Remember when he first came he was very afraid and wouldn’t get in the truck unless I got in first?  I think he has made huge strides in being a good farm dog!

Anyway we got to town and Mom dropped us OFF at the Dog GROOMERS!!!!

That was hours of misery.  I shook and trembled and moaned the whole time.  Boom of course LOVED the whole experience.  He hopped right into the bathing tub and sat there while Mom and the groomer put me into the waiting area.

I

DID

NOT

WANT

TO

BE

THERE!

About 90 minutes of pure hell and torture Mom came and picked us up.

Yep!  That’s me.

I can’t decide if I like this new look or not!

Makes me feel —-  well naked.

And Mom wouldn’t let me jump into the ditches, said I was just shampooed so I have to stay out of the muddy water.

I

MEAN

GEEZ!

Then the heat of the next day hit and

Hummmm

I guess this new look is alright.

I feel a lot cooler!
