Hi Guys how are you?!

Is Spring here yet? I think it must be visiting soon! The reason I think it must be almost here is because my Grammy and my Grampa-Will came over to help start a garden at our new house and I got to help!

I love it when it’s warm and bright and colorful outside. My mom used to have a lot of flowers at our old house and I heard her say she really wanted to have some here too. She said she and dad are going to plant food plants, too. I like food a lot, so that’s exciting! I wonder if mom will mind if I test the food when it grows big enough?

 My mom and grammy went to a flower store called a nursery. I guess there wasn’t room in the car or something because I didn’t get to go with them for that part. I cheered up when they got home, though because I did get to spend lots and lots of time outside helping them put all the flowers in different kinds of pots and even right in the ground!

It’s still cold here, so most flowers can’t be planted outside yet. Mom says Pansies are named wrong because people think pansies are weak but they’re really very strong. They don’t even mind the cold like some flowers do.

I think it’s kind of funny that my mom and grammy wear gloves on their hands when they dig in the dirt. I dig best without any gloves on.

Look at all that dirt that could be right between their toes and fingers but it’s just wasted there on gloves! Silly ladies. I’ll have to try to demonstrate how it works for them again next time. Maybe they’ll catch on.

My gram-parents are two of my favorite people. I’m always so happy to see them that I sing and howl at first. Then I just follow them around and help out however I can because helping is fun!

Grampa Will helped a lot by digging up dirt to make room for flowers to go in the ground.

It’ll be warm enough to plant all kinds of flowers soon but I love the pansies enough to take me through all of spring if they have to!

Thanks for visiting and have a great week!

Hi Guys!

I learned something new today! I already told you some things about walking about in our little woods. Sometimes though we go out on the road.  We did that today and I like it because I see and smell different kinds of things than I smell in the woods. We live out where the houses are really far apart and there are lots of trees and grass and our road is made of dirt and rocks.

My parents brought a big white bag to pick things up on the road to bring home. It was all really colorful stuff that smelled like things I wanted to eat so I thought maybe it was for fun but they seemed a little sad and said it was something called “Trash” and it didn’t belong there. I was surprised it wasn’t supposed to be there because there sure was a lot of it! I think they were right though because the road was even prettier after we picked it all up. I’m still trying to figure out why people put it there to start with.

Can you believe we found all this?!

It felt good to get to help fix something that was wrong and I hope we’ll do more of that someday soon!

Thanks for coming to see me!

Love

Hi guys!

I don’t know if you know this or not, but I have kind of a baby godsister. She’s my parents’ goddaughter, so I guess that’s what that makes her. Her name is Ella and she turned 3 months old the other day! She’s the first baby I’ve ever met so I’m still getting used to her. I don’t know if you know but babies make lots of funny noises to get used to but it’s okay because they smell really interesting!

The first time I met her was a few weeks ago when her mom brought her over and she and my mom sat and talked and talked a lot. I wanted to investigate super closely and smell her all over but I had to use a lot of something my mom calls “restraint” so I was really really tired at the end of it all!

Here I’ll show you. Like this.

Well, today she came back! Because she turned 3 months old, her parents decided it was time for my parents to take more pictures of her and they wanted to do them at our house this time. I think it’s funny that my parents get really gooey when they see her.

Because I was so good the last time, everybody was more relaxed this time and I got to smell her a lot and even lick her some! That was all I really wanted last time, too, but I have big teeth compared to Ella and I get enthusiastic so I think everyone just wanted to be really careful. I could have told them I’d be really nice to her but I haven’t learned how to make words yet.

Mom wanted me to tell you dad took this photo. She takes the other pictures on my dlog and she wants to be sure other people who give me pictures get credit for it.

I’m not sure but I think she might have even remembered me. I was so happy she wanted to see me too!

I don’t know if I should tell you this, but I guess I will so my other pictures make more sense. I don’t know how to say this nicely, but…she had an accident in her pants. Oh I’m so embarrassed for her. Even I know you’re supposed to do that outside! But I guess her parents knew she might do that because they brought all this stuff including new pants.

The very best part is that it meant they put her down on my level on the floor! Oh man..I could really get close then!

I kept my distance a little bit at first to make sure it was okay with everyone for me to go visit closer. See her looking at me? I think she likes me, too!

Then I got a little bit braver. I’m so glad she didn’t start crying. I get so nervous when she cries. Oh wow. It was so great to get to smell her whole face!

I think this might have been my favorite part of the whole day, though. Her feet didn’t smell like big people feet but they still smelled really cool and I even got to lick them a little.

I had to leave her alone after that for a little while so she could go do her modelling. I know this is my dlog but I think she’s really cute so I guess she can have a picture here too…

After spending a little time with her today, I could really see why my parents like her so much and really hope she comes back for another visit soon!

Thanks everyone for visiting!

Love
