Sand is so cool. Especially when you have a triple coat of fur like I do. The Osprey platform disintegrated in the water after all these years, so the Sea Eagles moved to the tree over the boat ramp. Mom Osprey does not like that we dogs were playing around her tree trunk. Dad Osprey swooped us, but our Mom was not fast enough with her camera to get a good picture. Life on the river is RUFF..

The girls love running around the docks.
In between boats are lots of hidden alleys with ducks, cormorants, egrets, and more.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Peanut walked in her commencement last month. Did I tell you that the university had a puppy raising program? Puppy Raisers of the University of Delaware (PROUD) is a registered student organization that raises puppies for ‘The Seeing Eye.’ The Seeing Eye is a guide dog school that breeds and trains Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Lab-Golden crosses to become guide dogs for the visually impaired. PROUD consists of both puppy raisers and puppy sitters whose job is to expose the young dogs to as many situations as possible to prepare them for their future job as a guide dog. To help with this, the puppies come with students to many of the places they go including class, club meetings and events. The club has special approved housing areas where the puppies live with the student. It is a very time-consuming commitment, as the raisers are responsible for the puppy’s complete care, as well as, basic obedience and manners. How rewarding.
Peanut walked with her friend and the puppy her friend raised. PROUD, fur sure.

The first days of SUMMER and every family was busy teaching their youngsters to swim. There was a paddling of very little ducklings and also a raft of adolescent ducks on the creek and several gaggles of geese on the river.
We want to help them swim.
Mom says no!
We say “No fair!!!”
It’s summer and we want to splash.

Both dogs THINK they want to be in the bathroom with me whenever I go in. Sofie loves to sleep in the steam while I take a shower. Louise, as you can tell from ‘the look,’ thought this was going to be more fun.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Louise has decided that the safest place to be when there is a storm is under Mom’s desk. At first I could not find her because she is black and it is really dark under there. Now I have an extra furry foot rest.
Have a great Wednesday!

Spring finally came with a bang and a boom. Don’t I look beautiful in front of the peonies and the knock-out roses?
Sadly, Mom is not smiling. Her roses have some kind of blight that has destroyed all the leaves, but not the flowers. V and Mom think it is something called Sawflies (aka rose slugs, saw worms), It is ravaging the neighborhood. We thought it was just the knock-out roses, but then we saw it hit the regular roses too. Now we think it is the same pest that has been eating our mugo pines the last few years. Everything looks all dried up and yucky. Mom loves roses (V not so much). Maybe we should pee on them and the larvae will die? That would be better than all the hand picking of larvae needed to get rid of them. Mom thinks it is too late to save any of the bushes this year since they are already gone.
What to do?

Hope you are having a great Wednesday despite our rose slugs.

There is always some mischief going on in the street that needs to be checked on – no matter whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter. Sofie was looking down the block yesterday for the new little red kit that seems to follow us on our walks. Just what we needed, another red fox in the neighborhood! Noel communed with the solar flower last summer, until someone (who will remain nameless) closed the window on it’s head. Give a cat an open window and she will just get ‘silly.’ Mini Cooper found a stinkbug last fall (which isn’t hard to do on that sunny side of the house) and decided it might be good to eat (was she ever surprised). And Louise looks toward Mojo Risings house, no matter what season, to see if the love of her life might be going for a walk or out in his yard.
What mischief did you get into today?

Louise loves her alligator and Easter peep. I turned around and she was sleeping with them on the office bed. I love when they use their fluffy toys as pillows. Louise loves a good squeaker. This peep has made it past a month; to us, that is a really good squeaker.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
