Fun Games - Find Target! Posted: 16 Apr 2009 07:04 AM PDT Our next video in the Fun Games series is Find Target! This is one of my all time favorite games. It's a game that makes you use your brain, and you get a little exercise at the same time! It's super easy to learn, and it's a game you can play inside, or outside, no matter what the weather is. Mum started with the target just a few feet from me and clicked when I touched it. Then we progressed to placing it just around the corner, then in another room, then two other rooms away, and sometimes now she'll put me in a stay and hide the target way up stairs. Mum is certain that this is the game that helped me know how to track my kittie bro, Wiggy, last summer when he jumped the fence. All Mum kept saying to me that day when she harnessed me up was 'find Wiggy,' 'find Wiggy!' And I found him in minutes, after she had been searching for him in nearby bushes for 20+ minutes. I rocked it out that day :) I was so intent on finding Wiggy that Mum thought she may have to look into term life insurance quotes, 'cause I was a manic pup on a mission! BOL! Gracie is getting the hang of this game, too, and she's loving it. She's up to three rooms away now. Gracie uses her nose more than I do, (well at least more obviously, BOL). Enjoy! And we'll have more Fun Games vids, we promise!

Blooming time! Posted: 16 Apr 2009 07:02 AM PDT Check out the pawsome tulips Mum picked this morning and added to our office! Aren't they beautimous!!! (I like that word, it means beautiful and fabulous at the same time :) Lots of our plants and shrubs are starting to pop out. Pretty soon, I'd say in a few weeks, our incredible lilacs are gonna overtake the corner of the yard near the fence gate. Oddly, though, this year was tough on our forsythia - too much frost at the wrong times and they aren't going to bloom this year. We'll miss that! But we think our clematis is going to be much bigger and gorgeous this year, and hopefully bloom lots more. Sometimes Mum thinks the clematis blooms look a little like pearls jewelry in the center. Just beautiful. Our hydrangeas are starting to leaf out as well. They were so gorgeous last year, and hope they do well this year too, because the plants are twice as big. Mum picked some of the dried blooms off last fall and added them to the wreath on our front door. It's a grape vine twine wreath, with all kinds of dried flowers and blooms from our yard. Pretty cool if you ask me and we get lots of compliments on it, because it's so unique! We absolutely love Spring, all the new life, birds gathering up items from our yard for their nests, and the bunnies, oh the bunnies this year are everywhere. They are driving us herders, crazy!!! Hope you are enjoying your Spring and all the beauty that comes with it!
