Let Me At It

Saturday Mom posted this picture on our Facebook page.

If you look closely, you will be able to see little teeth marks.  Brother has a bad case of  barrier frustration.  He can’t get at the squirrel, bunny, UPS truck, mailman or whatever is sending his intruder hormones over the top so he turns to our bed and gives it a good shaking.  He knows better too because he stops when Mom tells him.  He has also bitten holes in several of Mom’s quilts.  That door stays closed now.  Anyway, I find it totally disgusting.  If I have to do it, I just shake a toy.

image

Here is mastodon, Brother’s favorite toy.  He is at the Pet Hospital awaiting stitches.  This was not of my doing.

image

If Mom will let me have it, I’ll be nice. 🙂

Please. ~ Lucy

Tribute to Duffy

Duffy

My heart has been sad this week with the Rainbow Bridge crossing of my brother, Duffy.

image

He was my brother from another mother; so to speak, but we are both Silky’s boys from Shady Nook Scotties.  Duff lived in Mississippi with his mom, Claudia Grace and Stella and Popstar.

image

We look just alike.  You can tell it in our eyes that we share a common bond.

image

He was taken from us by this terrible disease in spite of everything medicine could do.  He was not yet 5, just a wee lad.  A Scottie Nation mourns.

Stormy Weather

Saturday morning we received an unexpected surprise, a weather event.  We should have sensed something earlier when it was so warm and humid on our first perimeter check.  Not long after, the skies darkened; the rain, wind, thunder and lightning began.

image

The thunder and lightning were the worse.  Brother was beneath Mom’s chair and I took up residence under the desk.  I like close corners when it storms.

image

We are glad it didn’t last long.  What’s your take on stormy weather? ~ Indy and Lucy

When Fetch Games Go Wrong

You know how I love to play fetch with my little tug Mom made me.  We have to have a session every evening.

image

I let her know the game should begin by moving the tug closer to her because that is what she tells me to do…..closer, closer.

image

and then….oops.  BOL!  Love ya. ~ Lucy

Mom received her necklace that Susan Rogers made.  It is lovely.image

Naturally, it has Scotties on it.  The sterling Scotties are a from vintage pin and the stones, round and flat, are facetted black onyx with grey pearls as spacers.  Susan’s FB page is there on the card.

It’s her dress up necklace, she said.  We are sure it will look great with her T shirt. ~ Indy and Lucy

We apologize for the slacking of our secretarial staff in the writing of our blog.  Frankly, it has been so hot that all we have done is stay inside under the air conditioner so there wasn’t much to write.

image

We watch Mom read.

Inspect the progress of the fence

Look out the window

Today, though,  we had a cool front and a tiny bit of rain that blew all these pine needles down.  It was 70 degrees which is like 40 degrees less than it had been.  Mom was so glad not to have to water the plants.  It’s given everybody a new leash on life. 🙂 ~ Indy and Lucy

Essential Oils

Mom uses Young Living essential oils.  There are many that can be used on pets but YL also has a collection of animal scents.  She bought us some of this to help us relax on our last long road trip.  It is effective.

image

It’s around $16.00 if you are a YL member.  Otherwise it’s about $22.00.  Mom said that was amazing because of some of the oils in it are very expensive. Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, for example, costs $94, Rose $244, Helichrysum $85, and there are 20 + more.  It would be great for any situation that makes you feel apprehensive, say….like grooming.  Mom just puts a drop or two in her hands and rubs our ears or runs her fingers through our coats.  Oils can also be applied to our paws or diffused in the air in the home or car.  If you are lucky enough to have a vet who looks at the holistic side of things, ask them about essential oils.  It’s good stuff.

Love ya, ~ Indy and Lucy

Mom said that even though she doesn’t teach school anymore she still realizes the value of a weekend.  Dad’s off to visit GrandPapa today and I am pleased to report he has two fence posts removed.  I told you it would be a long time.  Mom just shakes her head.  Weather has cooled to the 90s which is mild in Oklahoma for August. On the downside, the microwave gave it up last night.  Mom said it’s convenient but not necessary to be replaced immediately.  Me?  I maintain my constant vigil.

image

I tell you though.  Fall is in the air.  I feel it.

Yippee! TDIF ~ Indy
