My Boo – A Post by Christmas Puppy

Years of patient waiting have finally paid off. Today I got the best Christmas present in the world… a new friend!

(It turns out all puppies are social – even decorative ones!)

*

At least she’s no longer talking about making me sit out there.

Sharks are Cool

Why are you wearing booties to swim? Did you lose a bet?

*

See? They have sharks on them.

*

Sharks ar cool, right? Of course they are. They're so cool they're practically penguins.

*

Do you mean Burgess Meredith "Penguin" or Robin Lord Taylor? How do you know about them? Duh. We TV at my other house too. Honestly, I don't know why I hang around with your guys!

*

I don’t really care what you wear as long as I don’t have to go along.

(So far Murphy hasn’t shown the enthusiasm for water that his brothers had.)

*

While this might seem like an odd topic, I was very nervous about going swimming again after having developed so many allergies/sensitivities. I was concerned that even with shower sandals, if I were walking across a floor where personal care items were draining, they might splash onto my skin and cause a reaction.

My solution is to wear aqua socks while in the shower room and in the pool, only changing out of them once I reach my locker. If you happen to be one of lucky few with MCAS, I wanted to let you know that this might be a choice to help keep safe in a locker room or pool. (Usually this condition doesn’t surface until your 20s, so hopefully high school swim class will already be behind you.) Aqua socks are made of neoprene, so water doesn’t go through them. As a plus, they give extra traction on slippery floors.

And even though I am the only nerd wearing them, I totally rock these aqua socks.

Hey guys, I am getting ready to go swimming.  How do I look?  Out of this world?

Yeah….if you are a pasty white person, don’t get the gray swim cap.

The Pumpkin Patch

I’m not sure if the Great Pumpkin will visit us, but it looks like the Great Horned Owl did.

This year my garden yielded mostly rabbits and bugs. The exception was that I did get pumpkins. I took this picture while I was still harvesting them, so this isn’t their full number. In all I picked 49.

(Off to the left is what happens if you don’t pick zucchini in time.)

*

Can we go visit the garden?

*

While the pumpkins were in the garden, Murphy didn’t seem to realize what they were. He was more interested in the rotten tomatoes.

*

When I moved the pumpkins to the porch, he still didn’t seem to recognize what they were.

Once I started bringing them inside to cook them, he suddenly noticed them. Now he is a total pest wanting more, more, more. (I tried handing him one of the smaller pumpkins to play with or eat, but he turned his nose up at it. He wanted it cooked first.)

Gimme! Gimme! That’s dog food. I know it!

Helpful Autumn Life Advice

Don’t eat the grapes below the level of the dog.

*

The grapes? I was just looking at them. Honest.

*

(Don’t worry. Murphy is always supervised and is not allowed to eat any of the grapes.)

Poindexter

Oh geez, what happened to you? Mommy seems to think I'm nearsighted because I bark and growl at her every time I see her in a hat.

*

I can’t believe you think I might be nearsighted.

What have I ever done to give you that impression?

Actually, a number of people have commented that they think Murphy might not have perfect vision. Starvation can affect the eyes, so it is possible. To me it is funny that he never seems to recognize me in a hat even though I wear them all the time.

I dunno…I think my glasses look good on him!

Should Doogie Run For Office?

While taking pictures off my camera, I noticed that Doogie had a lot of qualities we see in most politicians.

He is willing to blame others.

He claim other’s things as his own.

He’s been caught fooling around on film.

He likes to conduct business in the dark.

He’ll turn his back on family and friends if it suits his needs.

He’s willing to let others pull his strings.

With these qualifications, surely someone will designate him as our next candidate!

Vote for me! I’m cute!

Vote for me. I’m cuter.

Ushanka

Hey, it looks like he likes you! Lucky me.

Doogie was small enough that he didn’t mind standing on Murphy when he wanted to reach something. Given the hot weather, Murphy may have objected to his living Ushanka.

*

I don’t mind standing on your head.

*

I mind a little.
