Trouble on a Tuesday - Old Lady Life by Lee

 Dear pals,

it was a mixed bag week for this old gal. My Lady is in charge of me 6/7 nights (the Man does Saturday night) and I was up some of them. There was a storm Friday night, so that, then my upset tummy at 3:45, Lady was up a lot. We let her sleep until 10:30 am on Saturday. Lady is not at all frustrated that on Man's one night I only had to go out at 5:30 and not for a 3 am walk.  (Note, Man will not take me for a middle of the night walk, only Lady will).

This week saw this old gal, have a very upset stomach, wander into the bush and get stuck as I couldn't find a way out, up a lot in the night, one night I only told Lady I had to go after I had pooped all over the floor, having more trouble with my back end, and being very picky about the food I ate. Apparently taking out random pieces and leaving them on the floor is not loved by my people. 

Food all over the floor

Lady says I got really old really fast, but since I always lived faced, it makes sense. 

So that is where we are. Lady is exhausted with me and some crazy work stuff, but we are hanging in dear friends. To make it a bit easier for Lady, sometimes I let her have a little snuggle with me. Overall, I am happy enough. I am living my life on my terms.

We will see how this week goes.

your pal, Hailey Bug

Mischief Monday - It Shouldn't be Like Cheers

 Dear pals,

Lady was telling me about this old TV show called Cheers, where in the theme song they said "where everyone knows your name" and when the character named Norm walked in everyone would yell "Norm."

I have been to the vet so often lately, when I walked in on Friday they said "Zah-phod". They didn't say it right,  but they did know me. Lady gently said "Zayphod" and they laughed and said someday they would get it right. 


The sting of being famous at a vet clinic was taken out a bit when some other client went on about how beautiful I was.

Anyway, I got my old man Librela shot Friday and hopefully don't have to go back for a full month for my next one and my annual check up. Maybe they will forget who I am. 

Your pal, who doesn't like everyone at the vet knowing his name Zaphod

Nature Friday - Walk The Plank

Lady and Man hadn't been to the beach for some time because since Mr. Phod can't go thanks to his skin infection, they haven't gone.

Anyway, when they had people over last weekend, they went (without us) and they were shocked with what they saw.

The first pictures was taken summer 2020. You can see the beach and easily get to the dock.

Now let's look at June 30, 2024.


The lake is so high, the beach is gone and you have to walk the plank to get to the dock. Callie's Lady, who has lived out here her whole life (so 40 years) has never seen the lake so high.  We will continue to watch and see how the water levels go. 

Thanks to Rosy and Sunny for hosting this hop.

Caught

 Hi Lady, nothing to see here. I am just being a good boy, standing here looking at the wildflowers.


I am most definitely not thinking about walking over and visiting Callie and her people.


Happy 4th of July to all our American pals!

People Are Weird - by Lee

 Deal Pals,

On Sunday, for an early celebration of Canada Day and friendship, Lady and Man invited 6 friends up. After dinner, things got weird.

I was sitting, letting a stranger pet me (I was very good), and suddenly 2 dinosaurs appeared.



I did not like these dinosaurs and may have barked and barked and barked until the Man had to quickly get me outside because I had to poop.


Phod heard the racket and came out of the closet, walked by, and went to a stranger to get pets too. He was not really bothered by dinosaurs. 



Would you react more like a Lee or a Phod if there were suddenly 2 dinosaurs in your house?

you pal Hailey Bug who thinks people are very weird
