The Adventures of Fuzzy and Boomer on Friday—Boomer, My Bestest Friend

Boomer is my bestest friend in the whole-wide-world! (Well, outside of Mom, that is).  I really don’t like other dogs, never have, never will!  But when Boomer slipped into my doghouse one night I knew he and I would be friends for ever more!

Hot-Dogs

Now that you know that I adore Boomer we take naps together, we bark the mailman down the lane together,

Dogs-1

we ride on the four-wheeler with MOM, chase the squirrels and bark at the birds.

We do lots of stuff together.

Fox-1

We make sure the fox stay away,

Fox-2

or at least does a fast run through our place.

Zip

We do NOT bother the porcupines, the badgers (Boomer was chased by one once) or the coyotes.

skunk

We both have decided the Mom and Dad are on their own when it comes to the skunks, that is just all there is too it.  A dog who gets sprayed by a skunks gets BATHS…lots and lots and lots of baths!  (Hank-the grandkids dog, doesn’t care he will take on a skunk anytime. And he still goes after any all porcupines.)  PHEW!

HOWEVER!!!! I draw the line as some stuff…like eating milk duds (`!)  I just can’t do it.  I just can’t.

The other thing I don’t get is Boomer is a beagle…purebred the Vet says.  Beagles are bred for hunting…RABBITS!  (I’m a cow dog…always have been, always will be!)

Colorado has a Beagle Rescue if you are interested.

Bunny-3

You know what?  Boomer NEVER chases our rabbits….ever!  I use to…they hop really fast so it’s fun to follow them into their hiding places.  But I never hurt them; the only things I hurt are mice and snakes….anytime…anyplace…anywhere! Bite, snap, done!  There ya go…no more mouse or snake! Of course, Boomer doesn’t understand why I like to feel that crunch and snap in my mouth. (I can’t swallow what he likes to slurp down…)

Bunny-1

Boomer doesn’t even give chase to the rabbits ever…just keeps on sniffing around on the ground, he even sniffed right by one of the rabbits.  How strange is that?

Sleeping

Well, anyway…in the scheme of things … I really don’t care.  You see Boomer is my bestest friend in the whole-wide-world.  If he doesn’t want to chase a bunny…you know what?  He doesn’t have too.

Fuzzy

The Adventures of Fuzzy and Boomer on Friday — BOOMER!!!

Hey, Fuzz…don’t ya just love this moonlight?  Makes me want to sit up and HOWL!!

Don’t do it Boom, we are in the house.

I know but it’s filling our bed spots with so much light I can hardly sleep.  Makes me want to let loose and join it with the coyotes!!

Aaaaaa, Boom!  We are right next to Mom do you want….

UM no…I won’t.  But it sure makes me happy!

I know Boom, it does.  Now go to sleep.

Okay, Fuzzy, I’ll try!

Hey, Tommy!  What ya doing?

Looking for small springs of green stuff to eat.  How ‘bout you?

Oh, just hang’n around smelling everything that moved through the yard and the corrals last night.

You and Mom and Fuzzy went by the poultry house.  Mom stopped and checked on all of us.

Yep, Fuzzy was with Mom, but I had already moved over to the cattle trailer and the car hauler.

Oh…that’s why I didn’t see you.

Right!

Oh! Hi, Sam!  What’cha doing?

Hi, Tom, just checking out what you and the birds are up too. Where is Fuzzy?

Over by the trash cans…he said he wanted to see if any mice were up and about.

Where’s Mom?

She’s cleaning around the corrals while Dad goes down to Hank’s and his kids’ house to work on their yard light.

Oh!

Hey, Tom!

YES……………drummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, fluff.

Want to walk out to the grain bins and check out the weeds there?  Just might be something, even if it’s just cheat grass.

TOMMMY  LOOOOOOOOOOOK OUT!!!

WHEW!  Dad just drove into the yard.  You can’t walk sideways Tommy on the road; you are too slow when you walk that way.

Well, I just wanted Dad to see how pretty I am.  I really like Dad the best, you know.  I try to follow him everywhere and help him in all the sheds…I knew he was coming down the road…pout, pout.

“Tommy! You scared me! You can’t walk sideways on the road.  You are just too slow.” said Dad as he came over to give Tommy a pat or two.

Well, I guess everything is alright. I’m alright, Fuzzy is alright, you are all right Sam, the hens are okay.

WHERE IS BOOMER?!!

BOOMER ARE YOU OKAY?

Yeah, I’m just leaving a mark for Hank.

BOOMER!

WHIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

“BOOMER!!!!!!!  YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW”!!!!  yelled Dad.

Slink off…mutter, mutter…geez I just wanted Hank to know this was my pick-up.
