Baxter and Smudge are back from their Winter in Oregon! Yes they remembered me.
I got to give them treats and play ball with Smudge while petting Baxter.
Smudge wanted to play ball for a long long time.
Throw the ball already! She is a good ball player and drops it very near .
It was a fun break in my morning.
Far Guy and I met a fellow in Osage as I sold some more "stuff".
Back at home I gave the bathroom a really good cleaning. I can scrub the floor again on my hands and knees or sliding along on my butt!
What's cooking? Toward evening we made pork chops, fried potatoes and corn for supper.
Minnesota weather: High 63F or 17C Low was 37F or 3C and we had a red flag warning all day...windy and low humidity makes for dangerous fire conditions.

Baxter and Smudge ....the names are so cute and so are they. Both of them are such pretty dogs.. they were probably happy to be back and ready for some play time... I haven't had a pork chop in a long time... Sounds pretty good to me right now. Connie...wishing you a very Blessed Mother's Day weekend... Sending you love and much appreciation for all you do..
ReplyDeleteOf course the pups remembered you! I have never heard of anyone doing the snowbird thing in Oregon. A beautiful State, that I hope to visit someday.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Mothers Day weekend!
Tired dogs, but happy dogs!! Your supper sounds like the perfect menu my husband would like - every night. LOL
ReplyDeleteAny day spent with dogs is a good day, as well a getting to get rid of stuff!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a few years since I last could wash the floor on my hands and knees. Now mops have to do but they can't do the good job that gets done the old way.
ReplyDeleteOh to have the energy of a young dog :)
63 sounds like a decent day if there weren't too many clouds! Sounds like you are feeling better and better.
ReplyDeleteThose babies are obviously very happy to see you again. Smudge looks exhausted in that last picture. Ha!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
Wintering in Oregon? Not your usual snowbird retreat! Lucky dogs to have you provide treats and recreation!
ReplyDeleteMy brother has lived in Oregon many years. They built a home not far from us on the lake and eventually will move here full time:)
DeleteYou definitely tired out Smudge!
ReplyDeleteI chuckled at your description of washing the floor. I was doing something similar this morning, weeding the day lilies. I was happy to find the ground is relatively dry.
I love both of those dogs good looks. They are my kind of pets. You can tell they are smart.
ReplyDeleteYou’ll be riding along in that side by side soon letting the breeze coll your face.
Happy Mother’s Day.
I wish I had half of the energy of those dogs! We had a cat named smudge because it was all white with just a tiny smudge on its head!
ReplyDeleteI can't get on my knees anymore because it hurts like crazy so I don't!
Have a nice mother's day tomorrow Connie!
I like the photo of the dog zonked out with the ball in front of him.
ReplyDeleteThat's one pooped out puppy!
ReplyDeleteDog friends are always the best, esp. ones who THROW balls!
