Objects Dogue Art

The weather is right. Time to put out my favorite objects dogue art. Here is my garden gate to nowhere. It has lots of moving parts. The handle to open the gate is old gardening shears. I like to wiggle the bells and hinges. It even has some working faucets!

Here is 'Rusty Me'.

...And a 'Rusty Stanzie' too.

Now, this is my kind of plant. No water, no pruning, no fertilizer!

This one is my favorite. When the wind spins the propeller, the doggy's tail wags and his tongue goes in and out. Just like me!

Happy Digging!

Sunday chores

Hey, get out of your jammies and come outside! And by the way...the windows need to be washed.

We must put the baby seedlings outside. They need some sun.

But there is no sun today and it's kinda cold. I better pull down this flap. Grow big and strong little Tomatoes!

It's Sunday, but there is a lot to do. An Airedale's work is never done.

Gotta go dig!

Happy Digging!

Just Leave It!

One word describes my week, ICKY!  I got really sick one night this week and lost my dinner. I panted and looked so unhappy, that Mom and Dad got worried and took me to the doggie ER. We are lucky to have a 24 hour veterinary hospital only 20 minutes away.

A team of specialists and technicians went to work, checking for every possible culprit for my pukiness. I had an x-ray, an ultrasound (no obstructions, yeah!) I had bloodwork done and IV fluids given. I even got shaved in a non-Airedale way. I have one Poodle leg now!

No virus, no obstructions, no Giardia or parasites, no chemical toxins, no bad human food. Final diagnosis "He must have eaten something icky". Maybe I have sampled too much of the compost pile???

So, I'm home now and feeling much better. Just like my Sparky McFarkle self. I'm not sure what all the fuss was about and I'm really hungry!

Doctor has prescribed a bland diet of cooked chicken with rice and potatoes for a few days!
Tonight I'm having Chicken and Potatoes in my special 'Don't eat so fast' bowl.

YUM-O ! My compliments to the chef!

A word of caution to my Airedale pals, and all doggies like me, who explore the world with a vacuum cleaner mouth......My new campaign for 2010, "If it might be ICKY, be PICKY and JUST LEAVE IT!"


Happy Digging (Just don't eat it),

I glove you too!

It's a wonder we get anything done at all around here.

I steal at least one work glove a day. It just never stops being funny. Really knee slapping funny!

I either bury the gloves under the bushes, or tease Stanzie with them.

Sometimes, I can engage her in glove tug of war!

It's a good thing that we buy gloves by the case. I don't think these are Airedale tested and approved.

We are supposed to be spreading bark mulch.

My sister is a lazy princess and she does not want to help.

I, on the other paw, would like to help in a big way!

Happy Digging,

Wyatt

BIG DAY!

Stop Thief! When I start the day stealing money from mom's purse, it's time to go outside!

C'mon, C'mon, get those gardening boots on. Let's go!

It's a BIG DAY all around. BIG RUN.....

BIG PLAY.........

My sister has a BIG MOUTH...........

BIG POND...........

BIG SWIM............

BIG SHAKE..........

BIG PLANS.........

BIG REST?
Ya right! Mom wishes that's how this day would end, but I'm not sleepy! She's been trying to get a picture of me laying down with my eyes closed all night. Not gonna happen!
Happy Digging!

Less turf, More veg

Stanzie can't believe her eyes. "What happen to all of our lawn!"

I'm not sure what we are doing. But this is a muddy good time! The best kind of day for an Airedale!

Wow! I've seen sod rolled down, but never sod rolled up!

Oh, more vegetable space. Well, that makes sense. I was wondering where we were going to put the 360 tomato plants we started. Not to mention the potatoes and onions. This is a lot of work! Isn't there a store around here, where we can just buy vegetables!

Hey, look at the beauty spot on my tongue! Actually, most of the spots are dirt, but I do have one beauty mark in the back, if you look real close!

Happy Diggging,
Wyatt

You say it's your birthday!!

Today is my Dad's birthday! He's the best. Look what I bought him. New sneakers! Dad has been exercising a lot and he takes me for lots of walks.

Now, I will demonstrate the Airedale way to wrap a gift!

I'm pretty sure we are going to need some more paper. This is not looking good.

MOM, I could use some help here. Put the camera down and help me with this tape!

This would go so much easier, if I had thumbs!

Ta Dah! The finished product! Mom did the ribbon. The ribbon is fun to nibble on too!

Here's Dad, opening his present. He likes his sneakers...I like the box!

I hope they fit, because I have chewed the box. The store would probably not take back sneakers with dog spit on them.  Stanzie gives Dad a birthday kiss.

Happy digging,
Wyatt
