The Adventures of Boomer on Friday— The Game I Hate

I go with Mom and Dad to do the water, all the time, I mean we go ALL the time.

There is still lots of trash in the water…

sticks, weeds, corn leaves,

things like that.  And if it blows…the wind, not the water…there is even more trash.

I ride on the back of the four-wheeler, mom driving,

Dad leading the way to change water and check the screens for trash!

WHEE!  Bay!  HOWL!!!  JOY!!!!

At night, although I sleep inside, I go outside randomly to see what’s happening here and there and everywhere.

I sometimes go by myself, and sometimes with Mom—Mom and I take a walk at least once a night.

We are always doing something.

Mindy and I do ‘stuff’ together also.  She likes to rub her whole body under my chin purring the whole time. Or taking naps together.

But the thing I hate worse than anything there is in the whole-wide everything…is the  CATCH THE KITTY game!

Which means…Mindy, Min-Min Lou comes up to me, rubs me under the chin, walks off like she wants me to follow her…

then gets that playful look on her face, (she knows I coming right behind…I mean like, get real…I’m right there ready to go exploring with her) and

she raises her back into an arch…then leaps up and runs off.  I give chase, she runs faster.  Finally, I stop.

She looks back and collapses on the ground– rolling around in the dirt with laughter.  She knows I can NOT ever run fast enough to CATCH THE KITTY!

Believe me…this is NOT a nice game!

The Way to Live Your Life—-Thursday, March 22, 2018

 “Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it.”

― Mary Oliver

The grass is starting to green…that is a huge joy to me.  Yes, it means work, weeds, watering and other types of ‘stuff’, but it also means sunshine, rain, and (for me) just plain happiness!

Mindy Min-Min Lou is delighted I finally brought out the summer furniture.  Her most favorite spot in all the world to relax—they even beat a warm car hood in the winter.

Then, for Mindy, there is the rolling in the dry dirt, dust  bath.  Right up there with laying on your back, tummy up soaking in the sun—she is such an odd little cat

Walks with Mom always mean…Mindy walks on the gated pipe…”Why not?” she asks.  “I never fall off.”

As for Boomer Beaglie Brown…just being with Mom is all he wants.

Wonder, just look through the eyes of a child or an animal…we can see the world in fresh new ways.

From my heart to your world,

Linda
