Today is Aunty-Yam's Final Fiction Friday and Rosy's Nature Friday. We have a spooktacular tail tale for you today, inspired by events from our real lives!
Dear pals,
It is the spooky time of year and time for us to pay the hat tax. If you are new to our blog, you may not know what a hat tax is. It is the tax we pay several times a year (it feels like every day) by dressing up in ridiculous costumes and having our pictures taken and having these embarrassing pictures posted on the internet. As Lady says we are freeloaders and don't contribute to the house, this is the price we pay.
So apologize in advance for the embarrassing pictures. We will share flashbacks all week and have our big reveal in a special Saturday post of Halloween 2020.
Thanks to the lovely Rosy for hosting Nature Friday!
While most of the trail cam was outtakes of us and a few birds, we did catch a few of our deer on it!
If you want to get the best belly rubs . . .
First, give the person a little love. I find a kiss on the nose works well.
Then stand beside them and demand they rub your belly.
Dear pals,
It is autumn and that means our house becomes a mouse B and B. So far we have caught 4.
Lady said we dogs need to be more helpful with the removal of them and become mousers. I said, I want to have mice pets. Lee said that was above her pay grade. Then Lady said maybe we need a cat. She said it would be far more helpful then we are. When our angel cats were alive we didn't have this problem. Imagine, thinking a cat could replace us, even if it could be a more helpful mouse bouncer.
On Friday, Man was giving many of our Halloween decorations to the neighbour, and she asked if we wanted a kitten, four have moved into her garage. The Man said no. Lady would say yes but she is worried about Lee hurting or killing it. Lady said too bad Lee wouldn't use her great hunting skills on mice and help. She says she knows I would be a gentle and wonderful cat caretaker. It is this gentleness that won't let me be a mouser.
Anyway, it looks like it will just be us dogs and the mice and a cat won't be moving in.

For 20 days I had the perfect life. My peeps were home almost all the time. They left once to see the grandpeeps and get groceries, and Man ran out to the corner store once, but mostly they were here.
Then, last Wednesday, Lady started leaving for work again. She was out all day 2 days, then on Saturday the peeps were out for 4 hours (don't get the Lady started on her computer problems and the need to visit the Apple store). Anyway, it was terrible. I showed Lady by sitting right next to her. I got as close as I could so she would feel the guilt.
She said she is sorry but she has to workout in the city 2 days a week and the Man is here with me all day. She also says she finds it funny that 90% of the time when she is working at home I completely ignore her. It is Phod who is her shadow, however it is me who seems to miss her. What can I say, I am complicate
Anyway, this was the big mischief in my life and I hear this will be how my life is the next few months, assuming things stay open.
Thanks to our dear pal Rosy for hosting this hop.
It has been a rainy, and blustery few week here and the peak is behind us. Here are some pictures from about 2 weeks ago in our backyard.
Before people are on us for breaking Covid rules and having peeps over, we would like to say, we have been self-isolating for 2 weeks with only a few trips out for necessities so we could see people. (Now that this is over, Lady is back to 2 days a week at work). On Saturday, Grammie and the Big Guy came over for lunch. Grammie is one of our very favourite people so we went crazy.
