Wonder Beagle Says Happy Halloween

Yes, we're those kind of people!  Since our kids are long grown up and gone, we entertain ourselves on Halloween by humiliating our Beagle.

 

Look at that face!

 

 

Twyla's a great sport!

 

 

Hope you all have a fun-filled Halloween!

I Guess I HAVE to Mow

Sewing, sewing, sewing to the exclusion of everything else!

Look closely.  Can you spot Twyla?

I've been neglecting the farm!  Poor Twyla's just about disappearing ~ ha!

Despite the unrelenting heat and humidity I'm heading out to cut the grass.  Hope all of you are managing to beat the heat and staying comfortable and cool!

A Lump & an Itch

*Last blog post before I draw this month's blog winner.  Scroll down for details.*

I woke up this morning with two little lumps and an itch:

(my twice-bitten leg)

The source:

How is it that something so absolutely adorable:

...can host parasites?!

Ugh!  These suckers (biters?) have survived Twyla's monthly heart and flea treatment and the stuff Mr. Wonderful sprayed on our property.  WTH?!


I'm off to bleach the linens.  And call Terminix.  Oh, and I need to find the bottle of Calamine!

Good thing she's so cute, otherwise...

Honestly, there is no otherwise.  I LOVE my little flea bag:)

Our vet says she's been hearing from losts of patients this spring, complaining about how bad the fleas are this year.  Are they bad where you live?  Any advice on how to get rid of them?

Do tell.  And when you do, you're entered to win this month's giveaway ~ this adorable "sewing machine" bird feeder:

I'll randomly draw the winner at 6:00 a.m. EST March 31st.  Good luck!

She's a Lady

Our baby Twyla turns three today!  That's 21 in dog years, so she's officially a lady now!

How's she's grown...

This is the day we met her - she was two weeks old:

We brought her home at six weeks:

She slept a lot!

She still does:

Happy birthday, Twyla!

Excuse me now...I've got a warm, fuzzy belly to rub and then she wants her walk!
