Chew with your mouth closed....

Is it that dogs are physically unable to chew with their mouth closed or is it just my three slobs??  I swear I sweep the floor 5 times a day and it still looks like I need to sweep....  Problem, Dora and Apple can't keep their food in their mouth.  At least Oscar picks up his toys.  :-)  ha ha...

We had a super busy day today.  2 visits to the clinic...  I took the girls in this morning for their 6 wk check ups and shots.  They both weighed in at a whopping 17 pounds.  With only two of them, there's plenty for everyone to eat so they have faired very very well.  :-)  Here's a picture of them outside this week.

Then Oscar jumped in the car just for the heck of it.  We ran back to the clinic to weigh in.  He's topping the scale right now at 70 lbs.  Yep, the days of me picking him up are gone now.  Then, when we got home, Oscar decided he needed the bath so he jumped in the tub.  Oscar loves the tub and taking a bath, so I agreed, he did kind of smell like the barn so he got a good scrubbing.  Little did we know when this bathroom was getting remodeled, the work was being done for Oscar's convenience.  :-)

Where's the bubble bath?

This last week, Oscar discovered the joys of running around out in the pasture.  We had a lot of fun...  With the two warm days this week, the grass is finally starting to come up thank goodness.  The horses would like to get off the dry lot and out into the green stuff!

Out in our pasture we have a small grove....  We burnt off some dead grass and branches last fall...  This is what happens with a controlled burn at our house.  Believe it or not, this is a huge tree that is still standing.  Not sure how!  This is the second time we've caught this tree on fire and it still lives!  I don't think Smoky the Bear would approve.

Oscar found our cat Black Jack out in the tall grass.  Black Jack was trying to sneak up on us.

Snake in the grass

This cat in on it's 12th life I swear.  I've nursed this guy back to health so many times...  This cat owes me, yet he's still a typical A-Hole cat who lets me know I am not worthy of his presence.  Every once in awhile he will let me pet him but rarely.  This cat has had a broken shoulder blade and now walks with a permanent limp, had his nose broken, broke his jaw and lost some teeth, and now this spring he's starting early...  Looks like he lost part of his ear in a fight...  yes, he gets around... But I keep nursing the jerk back to health and he keeps not appreciating my efforts... like normal.  :-)

We had a nice surprise this week...  Rosie and Jimmy Dean are now parents.  Little T-Bone entered the world on a beautiful day in May!  He sure is a cutie.  I'm sure he'll make a great hamburger some day.  ha ha!  Does having three head of Longhorns make you a wealthy Cattle Baron?  I hope so!  :-)  I always knew someday I would be somebody.  ha ha!

T-Bone and Rosie

Welcome little T-Bone!

That's about all going on right now.  I better get rolling to get my normal Saturday laundry chores done.  I'm running a bit behind with all the activities today.  The puppies go to their new homes next weekend so it will be a sad day!  Later!
