Feed Me....FEED...ME!

Hey!..........Can we get a little food over here?
If I had one of those opposable thumb thing-a-ma-jigs I'd get it myself!.........Jeeezzzzzz how I hate waiting on these peeps to open that food container! .....I can eat more than a couple times a day ya know!

Yeah.....That's what I'm talkin bout!



All righty now........

Hey Pa,
Could you bring that pee pad over here?

Yeah....and just put my pillow there on the other side.

Snake Farm....Uuuggghhhhh.....Uuuggghhhhh.........

Yep............Another snake!......It was another "good" snake (hog nose/spreading adder) so Pa caught it and hauled it down the road about a mile and turned it loose. Gram has started to call the place Snake Farm........after the Ray Wylie Hubbard song.................... with that said, I thought y'all might enjoy a little entertainment....

Yet Another Reason..... Not To "Go" Outside

I do not understand the obsession these people have with the need to "go" outside.
It's not safe outside!
This afternoon I was once again coerced into a trip out beyond the confines of my sweet abode.
You guessed it!.....Had to find a place to "go"!
Just when I thought that I had found that special place........... I found something else instead!

Seems that Mother Nature decided it was supper time for this HUGE garter snake and frog was on the menu.

I'm thinking.................................THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!


WE HAVE PEE PADS!!!!!!!!

Can't I "GO" in the house?.......PLEASE?????

Coon Dog and Pee Pad Philosophy

Here Rascal surveys the scene of the Coon fight this past Weds morning, and once again thanks his lucky stars that the Mrs (Gram) saved his bohiney from that bodacious bandit. .........In this picture you are able to see where Gram scattered scrap metal and the canoe in order to save Rascal from being mauled by Ole Mr Coon.

 Yesterday, Saturday morning, Rascal found another raccoon in the same area. This coon was a young one that looked as if it had been hit by a car out on the highway during the night. Of course Rascal felt like he didn't need any help, but the big guy (Pa) stepped in and helped bring about a swift end to the the raccoon's suffering. 

   Rascal doesn't understand that he's just not big enuff (rhymes w/ruff) to be fighting raccoons on a regular basis.  



Hey! ...There's a SNAKE over here!....shouldn't somebody be watching me?
Am I too close?....Whoooooaaaa It just stuck it's tongue out at me!
hhheeeeelllllLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Today I had myself an encounter with one of the many varmints that seem to call this yard home. One of those spreading adders (hog nose ) snakes was up on the back porch. Rascal has had some up close encounters with these guys, but he usually goes looking for them. I was just heading outside to find a nice quite place to pee and this guy scares the bejeebers outta me. .....Pa and Gram carefully placed it in a bucket and relocated it several hundred yards behind the house. I wanted it boxed up and mailed to someplace like Cuba....but Pa said it was a "good" snake............whatever that is.


Just another good argument for my pee pad philosophy
What am I doing out here anyway?
There are perfectly good pee pads in the house just waiting for a little dog like me



Rascal and the Racoon vs Missy's Dental Day

Rascal has been lying around licking his wounds

Rascal tried to still my thunder again today.
Today should have been all about me.
Today all focus should have been on me!
Me...Me...Me!!!
Today was my day to get my teeth cleaned.
You might remember...They took me in to the Vet a while back...looked me over....did blood work....They had to check me out and make sure I was fit enuff (rhymes with ruff) to withstand the procedure..........I was...and ....Today was the day!

Not that I was looking forward to it or anything ........because I wasn't.
Anyway, here's what went down first thing this morning.
Rascal, Dixie and I went outside just before we were to leave for the vet. As soon as he had cleared the back door, Rascal make a bee line out near the chicken shed where they keep the canoe. Turns out there was a big ole raccoon hiding under the canoe. You should have heard the face off! Rascal barking....Rascal growling....the raccoon growling and squealing back at Rascal. Then the Mrs came out to see what all the commotion was about. As soon as she gets to the canoe, all Hell broke loose. In fact it was kinda hard to tell who had who. The Mrs grabbed the canoe and threw it to the side, grabbed a big stick and commenced to whoop up on that ole coon. He wouldn't let go of Rascal though, and Rascal wouldn't let go of him! They just kept going at it, gnawing and squealing and growling and carrying on! Finally the Mrs held the coon down with the stick and grabbed Rascal by his harness and jerked him clear. It was at that point that ole Mr Coon saw his opportunity to head for the woods and he took it.He lit out like his tail was on fire and his mama had the water hose!
   Yep,  truth be known...the Mrs saved Rascal's shiny hiny this morning! I gotta give credit where credit is due though, he gave as much as he got...... but that old coon was about to wear him down. I've heard old timers tell stories about wily raccoons getting the best of seasoned coon hounds when it's a even steven kinda fight. Rascal survived the brawl with a scratch on his right side and a sore ear. It could have been much worse!

Oh yeah.....Guess you figured out by now.....I survived my dental procedure. I understand that they had to put me under....whatever that means. They say that after I came around I kept asking over and over (bout six times) "What did the vet say? Was everything OK?"    They cleaned my teeth and pulled a couple of bad ones. I guess all and all it could have been worse.
I could have had a run-in with a raccoon at daylight!

Just Say ....."Supersize It!"

I Love Walmart.....$00.23 each

These should last me a couple of weeks at least!
