Super Fun Sunday!

Screw the Super Bowl!

LOML and I had a blast on Sunday.

After lunch, we went out to visit my grandmother and decided to take Max down to the creek since he hadn't been there before.

For those of you who have been here for a while, this is the same creek that LOML and I catch fish at.

On the way down, we saw this neato deer track.

Of course, the further we walked, the more we saw!



Here's the creek while I'm standing on the bridge. The water's actually high right now.

Sigh......I could stare in her eyes all day long.

Look how HUGE Max has gotten. He certainly doesn't look like the same bedraggled puppy I took in months ago, does he?

I took this pic while laying down on the bridge. And no, Captain Dumbass, I did not get a splinter in my ass.

I went and got over in near the bank and took this pic of her sitting on the bridge eating her snack.

I'm the Queen of the Hay Bales and you better not forget it!

I also love this pic of her. All rosy cheeked and flush with energy and excitement

Here's LOML up on the hay bale. She had a blast.

Here she is sliding down it.

I have no clue, but it's a cute pic!

She had no clue I was taking this while my tongue was stuck out! She laughed about it later, though.

A girl and her dog. 'Nuff said.

She was so proud of herself for jumping over this "creek". LOL!

And I saved the best for last.

Bear Grylls, eat your heart out!

How was your weekend?

Mama Dawg vs. Mighty Mouse Part 2

Well, if you've been a regular reader of mine for a while now, you'll know that round 1 happened quite a while ago. Since that time, we've had several more mice that I've caught in the mean traps (the ones that snap their tiny necks).

People, I just can't care any more about a mouse's life. Yes, they're cute. Yes, they're a distant relative of my favorite mouse in the whole world (Mickey)....but, they're nasty. And they ate an ENTIRE box of whole wheat pasta plus a small bag of sunflower seeds as well some cat food.

Last night, when I got home from work, LOML was so excited because she caught a mouse. She said she was in the kitchen and heard a rustling noise in the dog food bag. When she opened it up, she saw a mouse. She quickly closed the bag so he wouldn't escape and my mom put a clip on the top to keep it sealed.

I went in the kitchen and took a look inside the bag. It was a mouse all right. A baby one at that. Not a newborn, but one that was about 1 1/2 inches long. He was so CUTE!

But, I had to harden my heart.

While I was standing there in the kitchen, I heard the sound of little feet running in the shelves and I knew that there was another mouse somewhere in there.

Even though I knew it was foolish, I started pulling boxes off the shelf and lo and behold! Another baby mouse! Except this one was trapped. And was just young enough to not know to try to escape no matter how desperate the situation was. And because he didn't move, I was able to get the humane trap right in front of him and herded him into the trap! I then added his brother to the mix. I dropped a cube of cheese inside. Since I didn't want them coming back, my MO is to drive farther out to the country than I already am and let them go. Then they can become someone else's problem!

Anyway, here's some pics of the prisoners mice.

Aren't they adorable?

Here's a video of Max and his reaction to these teeny tiny harmless mice.

How's your Thursday so far?

Later,

Mama Dawg
