Bits and Peices

 So, I thought I was big, that is
until Rex came to stay with us for
a week.  They guy is a GIANT
I mean a Giant my friends
and he keeps grabbing me by
the back of my neck and shaking
me like I was a squeaky toy.
My Vickie says it is all
in fun, but jeepers,
if having a monster grab
a bunch of your hair and
muscle, then twisting it back
and forth is what she calls "FUN"
well I got news for her.......
IT'S NOT
 Allred and Josie have started
sleeping together.  It is like
having the devil and his minions
have joined together for some
evil purpose that we are
surely going to regret.
And yet, on the softer side
Allred still loves his Nellie
 Tanner is doing well.  He sleeps
a lot, but he doesn't appear to be
in any pain and often is quite playful
Trixie found a new forever home
and we miss her, but are so
happy for her.  She found a great
family with another dog named
Pepper.  They really love each other.
 I got to wear Pastor Michelle's
new Chef's hat.
Who do you think looks
better in the hat.
ME
Or Pastor Michelle?
think carefully
 My Vickie's sister Debbie gave
her a fruit of the month membership
for Christmas this year.
May is strawberries and oh boy
were they big strawberries.
And boy oh boy were they good.
Scrappy, Willa and Molly
have taken over the lazy boy
 Cheyenne is always making
funny faces (for more check out
our facebook page)
 Dougal Makes a perfect
reflection as he runs through
the great Salt Lake.
(Ya gotta love this picture)
 Dougal also wanted to warn us
all the the rattlers are out again
and in huge numbers.
Be careful my friends
And a final bit and piece.
John took this picture of the
babies in his back yard
Now I know a lot of you don't
like magpies but ya gotta
admit, the babies are pretty
cute.   And yes they are a scavenger
bird and yes, the eat other little
birdies babies, but
we like them anyway.

  1. We don't mind magpies...unless they swoop us. We love chasing them.

    Lots going on at your place. We were going to say the hat looked better on you, but then thought again, and thought Chef Michelle might not make you some treats if she thought the had didn't look good.

    XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy

  6. What a great update Bert! Please tell Rex that he better be careful with you ~ Wow, he is a BIG guy!

    OK, now that the new Chef Hat has been pulled out, let's see some serious cooking over there. Maybe Sasha can teach everyone how to make possum pizza :)

  8. Great bits and pieces, Bert. Mom's favorite is the puppy pile on the recliner:) You tell that Giant to behave himself - he sure IS one big boy. But we hope he will be a gentle giant.

    Have a great week.

  12. I think you both look great with this hat - but who will prepare the better food? I love the picture of Cheyenne and I'm glad Dougal is well again, I remember about his "sneaky" adventure. have a great tuesday - Easy Rider

  13. The baby birds are adorable - sending hugs to the little one with no feathers (!) - hope he grows some soon.

    Love,

  14. I refuse to weigh in on the chef's hat issue. Can it be a tie? I mean, you're my buddy, Bert, but I've seen how snuggly Goose's MOM is, so … yeah. I just can't choose.
    Luv,
    Dave
    PS: We had our mom like your FB page so we can keep up!

  16. Oh my Dogness - Rex is HUGE !!!!!!!!!!!! Are you sure he is a dog????

  17. Hi Bert, Glad you had a great weekend and I think Rex must have some Pyrenees in him. You look like a perfect chef but I bet Michelle's food would be more to my liking. Watch out for the snakes-we used to get them in Ca. every spring. They are here in the mountains but the plains don't have as many.

  18. Oh Bert, now you can understand why I am a bit of a recluse having grown up with a giant dog. Momma says that when their first mastiff, Raja, came to stay, she used to grab poor old Angus Airedale by the neck and shake him about like a toy as well. It all seems rather inappropriate to me.

    Kisses,
    Dexter

  21. I know a dog just like Rex. I think he's a Kuvatz (or something like that). He is HUGE but fortunately nice.

    It's so sweet that Allred sleeps with Josie.

    The magpie nest is so cute...

  27. Howdy Bert mate, gee we loved all your photos. Your giant friend sure is big. He would be a grreat playmate for Rory! We're happy Trixie found her forever home. She looks like a total darling.

    We can't answer your question about the chef's hat until you tell us who cooks the best??? Then we'll choose hehe. Take care with the rattlers. We love magpies cause they have a beautiful voice but just don't like it when they swoop us! Enjoy your weekend.
    NO worries, and LOVE, Stella and Rory

  28. Great pictures, as always! I wonder why one of those babies has so few feathers compared to the others? Hope he is ok.

    My collies, in particular Holly, love strawberries. They are one of the few foods that Holly will actually steal! Steak no, she remembers her manners and doesn't attempt to snatch a bite. But strawberries? She will snatch one, quick as lightning, and race off to enjoy her plunder! Silly collie!

  29. What? Allred hanging with a dog? That can't be good!

  30. Hello my Friends!! It has been waaaaayyyyy too long--I somehow didn't follow you to this blog from your other--I'm been wondering where you all went, and I'm so glad that I followed a few crumbs and found you because I've missed you!! I'm glad to read that all is well, except for that snake!!

    I'm looking forward to keeping up with you, and I hope all is well in your time zone!! :-)

  31. Did you salute the magpie? Cause that is what you have to do every time... Say "Morning Cap'ain" and salute him. They are picky birds.

    Allred is going to end up taking over the world... just stay on his good side.
