Square Dog Friday, Book Review on Saturday.

What a week but as we all know the best day of the week is,
Square Dog Friday !
Woof !
Trouble is,  Squids Book review sometimes is on the same Friday.
 I was in arbitration over a clause in The Square Dogs contract.
It states on page 295, paragraph 5 sub clause c
"that upon the addition of any extra information, ideas, photos
of  non Square Dog and other animals material it will be regulated
to other non Square Dog blog days.
.
After the meeting the Square Dogs and I sat down for coffee,
Walkers Shortbread Scotty chocolate cookies and chkikin' strips.
In a meeting of the minds (and stomachs) we
figured out that when I include a book review on their blog day
the post just becomes to long to read.

yesh not enough me thehamish and Watson
too much other stuff  needin' more gud dugs

Starting today, I will post only Square Dog Friday and the
Friday book review will be posted on Saturday.

I heard thehamish mumbling under his breath that my book reviews are
rather short, I think I heard the word "puny" being used and he
didn't want it on his blog.
Watson being the most wonderful gud dug he is said that it was not true.
Nice tall person who feeds us, always has charming posts.
And that it is not just thehamish blog but The Square Dog blog.

Grumbling thehamish just wanted another chkikin' sttrip.
Woof !

Square Dog Friday ! ! !

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy... the best day of the week is here !
Square Dog Friday.
We all know the drill so lets woof it.
woof  wurf  yert
...
Many months ago thehamish was attacked while out on a walk.
Lot of damage.
Ever since then he does not want to go for a walk. Plus with all his
health problems, we haven't wanted to push it.
When Son would get out their necklaces and leads he would run to me
no matter where I was and hide.
 So not thehamish.
Very sad.
.
Since it is summer now the ground is hot, the street is hot and the sun is hot.
Hot hot hot hot
Burning hot.
Watson still wants to go for his walk but Son has been just walking him out my
east side yard where the citrus trees and ponds are.
 It is a much cooler walk filled with all kinds of great sniffs and places to look.

When the evening is cooler they go for a longer walk or just visit the side yard.
Watson always picks, at 17 he get to choose.

Lately when Adam walks Watson there, I have let thehamish out the backyard
so he could see Watson and Adam enjoying the other side of the fence.
After a few weeks of this, suddenly thehamish wanted to go outside on lead.
ummmmmmm envy or jealousy sometimes works wonders.
 .

Watson and thehamish (red heart necklace) on his first walk in many months.

parley view parsnip. . . the weekend

Before we start the new week, 
here are a few photos from the weekend.
.
 The Square Ones on the ride back from their Herbal Body Wraps !
awwwwww such sweet boys.
.
 Watson looking very handsome.
.

 Carrots growing in the protected east side yard.
.
 So very green.
.
 The pack rat critter remover found 5 big nest around my home.
They are so destructive that I have to have the service out four times a year.
They have trap them first and then clean out the nests
because a new family of pack rats will just move in.
I saw a very large hawk trying to figure out how to open the trap for his lunch.
.
 Sorry about the blurry photos.
.

 
 Later a roadrunner came and also tried to figure out how to get the pack rat out.
All the photos of the hawk and roadrunner in a standoff came out blurry.
They both stared at each other across from the trap but then moved on.
The hawk was the last to move.
.

 The sun shinning on some of my necklaces on my desk.
Instead of where they should be.
But it makes for a interesting photo.
.
