Yeah you read that correctly, Head in a bucket. So Mom was cleaning the freezer and Nick got some of the 1st bucket of ice cream, then she gave the rest to me to figure out how to get it out.
I was REALLY working to get those few Pralines (& Cream) left at the bottom… GOT THEM ALL THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
So Mom & Dad got to go up to Flagstaff, Winslow, Payson and we got to go to…. the kennel.
Ok they take good care of us, but there were thunderstorms on Wednesday night and I tore up my bed… I am all good now that we are home, but need a new outside bed.
Lemme step up on my soapbox and get this off my chest….
IF YOU DON’T WANT SOMEONE TO TAKE PHOTOS, WOULD YA PLEASE BOTH TO EITHER MENTION IT AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR “PRESENTATION” OR ON A FRICKIN’ SIGN BY THE NO FOOD OR BEVERAGES!!!!! I AM SORRY FOR THE CAPS, BUT I HAVE HAD IT!
Is it really THAT tough to GIVE someone the COURTESY to let them know YOUR wishes ahead of time, vs “Uh sir we don’t want photos ….”
Mom & Dad are going to a Dia De Los Muertos event today (Dia De Los Muertos actually runs Oct 31 - Nov 2) while it sounds morbid, it actually isn’t as it is paying respect and tribute to those who are no longer here (for me in my Dog life.. I can think of our cats, Bix and Chelan).

OK so a few weeks ago, Simba “discovered” this new toy he REALLY likes and for a cat that doesn’t really play (or do much) he is totally crazy over this thing.
Simba's new toy...
He bats it around, chases it, MEOWS at it, carries it in his mouth (and MEOWS), hits it in me and Nick, etc… Dad says he will TRY to get a photo of him carrying it in his mouth, but doubts he will be able to. But after he played with it for about 90 minutes last night (yes 90 minutes) and then again for about 30+ minutes, maybe he will be able to get that shot (if I don’t take that damned toy first!!).
After 5 1/2+ years with Cobalt, Dad’s remote assignment ended yesterday (he knew it was coming from about a month ago) and he has new job prospects that he is am working on (more to come on that shortly). So today he is taking it easy and doing some overdue stuff around the house this week. We (me, Nick and the cats) will miss having him around all day, but know he will be happy with a new job and the idea of making new friends (maybe they will bring me food….!!!).
Hard to believe it’s October already… but Nick and I are enjoying the cooler weather out on the patio and the walks with Mom & Dad in the neighborhood.
and Dad is PISSED OFF… STRONG winds a really strong storm came into our area Thursday night and knocked over his Mesquite … (which was not the birthday present Dad wanted for his birthday)
Take a look:
Mom did get him a cool pizza (that I am hoping he shares, a dog can hope, right?) for his 38th B-day..
Updates to come in the daylight, but we have a 2nd strong storm coming shortly so I have to get ready for that one!!
Dad had ABC15 over today and they were running a little late as they were supposed to here at 5pm.. but were about 20+ minute late. Once they did arrive Dad put us outside to wait and be out of the way on the patio, thankfully there is shade and yes it got a little warm but we were OK and they wanted to know why he (and us) watch ABC15.
They were here for about an hour and a half shooting shots out front with Dad speaking and then by their news truck and such.
The news truck in front of the house
Dad and the guys from ABC15 came back inside (while we still were waiting on the patio in the shade) and they asked him questions about What, Why, How long, What he likes etc. about ABC15. The promos are to air soon here in Phoenix.
Setting up the shot
I am sure Dad will send a link to some of you when (if) the promos hit the air!
So Nick & I had to go for baths today (we thought we smelled fine, BTW!) and it was not completely fun! I did OK and Dad seemed to be pleased that I attempted the best I could to be a good dog (I did shake ALL over him several times thou… HA HA HA!!)
Nick was not so happy about the bath and was rather difficult vs. the perfect little angel that I am … ;-P
NO PHOTOS WERE TAKEN, as Dad was (rightfully) afraid to bring it into the See Spot Clean Spa!
