DISPATCHES FROM THE POND: A FIELD TRIP

Blogbuddies:

Just a quick report from the North Country.

Rainy days in New Hampshire last forever and test the patience of a breed of terrier not known for its patience.


As the clouds gather...



And the rain begins to sing its staccato song along the Pond...





TheBuster comes up with a brilliant idea!





I, Bailey, nod my agreement: THIS COULD BE FUN!

ROAD TRIP !

First, we travel down the old dirt road that runs westward down the mountain. The citizens of the "Live Free or Die" state are not known for their conformity.


We have a brief errand to perform. In fact, this is the highlight of the trip!



On a dreary day in the Monadnocks, the cogniscienti may be found in that most intriguing of places: the town dump!


"Why the dump?" you might ask. Precisely because the "Live Free or Die" state does not have ordinary dumps. In New Hampshire, even the local landfill is a work of art!



When we return to The Pond, the sun is out and the turtles are doing what turtles do.



God is in her heaven and all's well with the world.


Buster develops an urge to perform some Olympic-class dreaming...


And evening settles upon the firmament.

Tomorrow, we will eviscerate some squirrels.

Peace,

Bailey

feeling better • mountain climbing & MY ROCK

Well I'm doing much better in fact, I went "mountain climbing" at the cottage and showed off my poodly-poo legs to the whole world!
I love my rock...
it's a good rock...
My rock has green lichen
and
a
spot for my BUTT.
My rock is comfy.
My rock is pretty.
and
I have sat on this rock -- at the lake --
since I was a teensey pup-----------------> MY ROCK---->

The duomo at the pond....brunelleschi eat your heart out

Wellllllll.... we're back. We left the pond in a rain storm....as in, "it was a dark and stormy night".
I think I, theBUSTER, have solved the question of WHO OR WHAT BUILT THE DUOMO AT THE LAKE! Some of you have already guessed and many have gotten the answer CORRECT! Yes folks I searched-------->and searched-------->
and researched!

The scary monster creatures that can cut down 8 inch trees....looks like
this------------------->
The BEAVER!
Check out those duck feet---------------------------->

and the blood-orange colored TEETH!

Ah well the whiskers are kinda cute, I can relate to whiskers.
CHECK OUT THE TAIL!!! This is our very
own
fuzzy wuzzy beaver
that Ms.Blue carries around
in her great JAWS.

She wanted to share
the tail size with you....
She said the BEAVER that
was at the lake had a very large <---that means BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG...... TAIL. This is a picture of the BEAVER after I tracked it down.......
uh........He's way bigger then this.
Really folks this is not trick photography.
The silly computer just reversed the sizes here..
I mean really, the BEAVER is way bigger then me. You believe me right?


My family is playing tricks on me....
I did NOT grow!
This is just silly.
Persephone!!!!!!
Did you change all the pictures I took at the lake??? I bet she got into photoshop!
That bed is NOT that small....or
I can't be that BIG!
AND that Beaver is not that small either...
Maybe it's in the water!
...the water has changed my
size....!

This is all sooooooooo creeepy. More strange things happening here.... uh, there was a full moon last week...and in the southern hemisphere,
there was a lunar eclipse <------------------------------Hey, all my australian blog buddies... help me out here!
Did you see the eclipse??
Please tell me I'm not still having a nightmare!
Strange things happen on the night of full moons and eclipses.
whooOOOooooOOooo000000!
theBUSTER <--------in hiding. You'll have to send my mail to Persephone or Ms. Blue
only they know where I really am.
theBUSTER
Where did that find that shot of me????? PERSEPHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note in a Bottle: A Brief Report from The Pond

Blogbuddies:

Oh, PLEASE send help!

I'm being held captive at The Pond by my mom and her mom.

Life is hard to bear!




It's been a grueling routine. Sit and watch the clouds... Swim... Eat... Nap.


Eat fresh-picked Blueberries in Grandma's pie... and nibble on her plants.



It's been VERY rainy. We spend a lot of time listening to the thunder.


Mr. Loon is teaching me how to fish...


And of course, you can't imagine how little attention I get!


Send help!

Yours,

TheBuster

Buster's Disturbing Dream

This is theBuster, and I just woke up, and this recurring dream came back, and it keeps haunting me, and I'm very, very scared!


What can it be?

I hope it stays out of my dreams!

leBozo

From which the matriarch speaks from her chambre de sommeil...

To all my blog friends who send good wishes....... I'm doing OK.....notice
the glazed look in my eyes?? That's so the humomm will feel slightly
guilty for putting me through such a traumatic experience...
I did perk up when each of the humans came in to kiss my ring.....



Of course I didn't want to appear to well
because I'm still boycotting the wearing of the BLUE....
honestly, isn't it enough that they call me Ms.Blue?
Do they really have to put a blue shirt on my back
to advertise the fact?

The humomm sez it is to keep me from licking
my hystorical tummy.... pfau..
Heavy sigh.





Ah well between you all and little old me... I'm feeling lots better. I got to eat whatever I wanted and made the humomm take me out (on a blue lead of course) many times and she let me lay down in the nice warm sun -- I sunbathed for at least a 1/2 hour. I just about have her at my beck and call. Ain't life grande??

Hee Hee....
<-----------------notice that little grin? Later, I'll show you my nice white teeth. The "dentist" doctor did that while I was in la la land too... oh and not to mention my pedicure.... and the precise removal of all excess hair in my ears. Well... I'll tell you, the surgery part was a real pain and so were all the other "procedures"..... but I FEEL GOOD!!! Pssssssssst -----------------------------> don't tell on me. I'm just a little blue dog trying to get
some reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelaxaaaaaaaaaaation in.


Good night all! I'll write more when I feel a little perkier. All this activity seems to have made me just a bit weary ------------------------------------------------> Ms. Blue

WE FOUND OUR MOM!!!

PHew! The humomm brought our mom home last night.
She did look very tired,
not to mention when she walked in she curled up and went to sleep!
Ignored us,
except for a waggle of the famous hummingbird tail....
Then crashed on her NEW blankie,
with her NEW toy.
Didn't want anything but her bed.
Boy am I glad she's back, I was just a bit stressed....
What will she do????
The humomm said Ms. Blue can't go swimming for 14 days....yesterday was one and today is 2 so now she can't go swimming for 12 days <--------------------here's a picture of her famous kerry krawl----->


----------------> little toot, in the pond w/ the yellow wubba.



The humomm said Ms. Blue had a historical- tummy......
Now what exactly is that?

The doctors also shaved, not ONE but TWO big areas on her legs..... uh oh.... our momm has POOOOOODLE legs!!! She's not happy about this. She wasn't happy when she decided she didn't like the catheter in her leg and took it out....the doctor said it needed to be there and put another in <--------so she was poodle-ized w/pom poms on her front legs... arghghghgh. One good thing though is, our mom feels much better today.. she did eat some of her food--but she still is not playing with us. The humomm wants her to "lay low" for a couple of days and we are NOT to bother her. So that means we can't play "chase".......and she won't be hunting for squirreleez..... and chipmunks....... this is sounding B O R I N G.... although our mom seems to be quite content about this boring kinda day <-----She is just not herself. BUT, we'll let you know when she is. In the meantime think happy thoughts for Ms.Blue. theBUSTER signing off ---->
to watch ms.blue be content-to-relax-in-her-new-blankie-and-stare-at-her-new-toys....more on them later. I'm thinking I may be able to steal one while she's zonked <-----sephie sez NO!
B & P

We woke up and Ms. Blue wasn't in the house!!!

Where's our mom?? this here is theBUSTER & Ms. Persephone.

The humomm was whispering last night.. something about no water or food after 8:00.....for our mom, Ms.Blue.
Whats this all about??

Where is our mom??

The humomm got up early and took our mom out and then she put her in the car....

Where are you taking our mom?

The humomm came home without our mom this morning.

Where's our mom??

All day looking upstairs, downstairs, outdoors under the umbrellas in the rock garden... but didn't find our mom.
The humomm said Ms. Blue was having some opper - A - shun...what exactly is that?
I'm still looking for my mom, she is never gone from us for very long...but I did notice that the humomm has gotten calls on the telleeeefooone and talking to that Dr. Joe about how our mom is doing.
Doing what? What is our mom doing?

Where is our MOM?

I guess I just have to wait.......
I'll keep busy....and wait.
M O M ! !! !!! !!!! ! where are you??????
