HA!  THIS YARDWORK IS TOUGH!

 

APRIL 4, 2009     YESTERDAY IT WAS THE BOXWOODS, TODAY I GOT TRIMMED.

 

APRIL 11, 2009     PAPA PROMISED TO TEACH ME TO DRIVE THE "RED CAR".  

 

IT'S IMPORTANT TO "TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE FLOWERS".

 

SO, HERE WE ARE AT GLENCAIRN GARDEN IN ROCK HILL, SC.

 

 

OF COURSE,  NO RIDE IN THE "RED CAR" IS COMPLETE WITHOUT A TRIP TO SONIC. 

 

APRIL 25, 2009     TOO BAD ABOUT PAPA!  THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FALL BEHIND IN PROVIDING TREATS.  WONDER HOW HE'LL LIKE BEING IN A CAGE?



 

APRIL 25, 2009     CANINE DISC COMPETITION

 

APRIL 25, 2009     I COULD WATCH THOSE DAWGS COMPETE ALL DAY!

 

MAY 3, 2009     THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO WATCH THE WACHOVIA CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF TOURNAMENT.   OH! "QUIET PLEASE!"  I THINK I SEE UNCLE RICK WITH BUBBA & GOOSEN.    

                            



 

MAY 5, 2009     I WONDER HOW LONG BEFORE THE VOLES EAT THESE ROSES.

 

MAY 8, 2009     I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET MY NEW "SPECIAL NEEDS" FRIEND, FRITZ.  HE'S VISITING FROM, WELL. . . THAT'S JUST IT, WE DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE.  WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.  WE BOTH TOOK A DETOUR IN OUR TRAVELS AND STOPPED BY THE GRANT'S HOUSE. 

 

Picture
MAY 13, 2009     YIKES!  What is THAT intruding on "MY WALK" with Papa?

 

Picture
MAY 13, 2009     WELL, I GUESS I'LL LET HIM COME ALONG.  MAYBE IT WON'T BE SO BAD. 

 

Picture
MAY 13, 2009     EVERY JOB NEEDS A SUPERVISOR.  AND THAT WOULD BE ME!

 

Picture
MAY 13, 2009     I DID HIRE THIS "NEW GUY" AS AN INSPECTOR.

 

Picture
MAY 13, 2009     AS WITH ALL NEW EMPLOYEES, I'M HAVING TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON HIM.

 

Picture
MAY 13, 2009     SEE WHAT I MEAN!  GOOD HELP IS SO HARD TO FIND.

 

 

Picture
MAY 13, 2009     THESE ARE OUR NEW FRIENDS AT CAROLINA CLASSIC GUTTERS.  WHAT A GREAT CREW!

 

Picture
MAY 15, 2009     I HOSTED A SMALL PARTY FOR FRITZ AND INVITED A FEW CLOSE FRIENDS.  JUST AN INCH MORE AND FRITZ COULD HAVE HELPED HIMSELF TO AN APPETIZER.  HEY!  GET ONE FOR ME!

 

Picture
MAY 15, 2009     THIS IS A PARTY FOR THE "NEW GUY" SO I'M KEEPING A LOW PROFILE.

 

Picture
MAY 15, 2009     AS YOU CAN SEE, FRITZ IS THE "LIFE OF THE PARTY".  HA HA!   HE'S DEFINITELY NOT THE "PARTY ANIMAL" THAT I AM.

 

Picture
MAY 15, 2009     PAPA IS REALLY SMOKING NOW!  THAT "WAS" MY DINNER . . .

 

Picture
MAY 15, 2009     I CONCLUDED THE PARTY FOR FRITZ WITH FIREWORKS.  HOPE HE ENJOYED HIS "WELCOME TO TUCKAWAY" CELEBRATION.

 

Picture
MAY 24, 2009     MY "SPECIAL NEEDS" FRIEND FRITZ IS STILL VISITING.  HE'S NOT STAYING WITH ME IN "MY HOUSE".  HE HAS TAKEN A ROOM AT THE NEARBY "MOTEL 6" (also known as "Chip's Shop")  WHERE THEY LEAVE THE LIGHT ON FOR HIM.

 

Picture
 MAY 28, 2009     TODAY I WENT FOR MY ANNUAL PHYSICAL.  DOG GONE!  THAT TEMPERATURE CHECK WAS A REAL EYE OPENER.  I GOT A "STAR" ON MY REPORT --- THAT MEANS I'M FINE EXCEPT FOR A SUGGESTION OF SOME DENTAL CLEANING.

 

Picture
MAY 31, 2009     I THOUGHT I'D TEACH THE "NEW GUY" FRITZ HOW TO DIG.

 

Picture
MAY 31, 2009     HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S INTENT ON LEARNING.

 

Picture
MAY 31, 2009     WHO KNEW HE WAS AN "EARTH MOVER"!

 

Picture
 
MAY 31, 2009     THAT SURE LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF WORK.

 

Picture
MAY 31, 2009     WOW!  THAT "NEW GUY" REALLY GETS "INTO" A PROJECT.

 

Picture
 MAY 31, 2009     I'M EXHAUSTED FROM JUST WATCHING!

 

Picture
MAY 31, 2009     AS WELL AS "SPECIAL NEEDS", I BELIEVE FRITZ HAS AN "OBSESSION" (WITH DIGGING).

 

Picture
MAY 31, 2009     I'm admiring one of Papa's newest roses. 

 Isn't it bee-U-tee-ful???                     

 

Picture
JUNE 13, 2009     HOT DIGGITY DAWG!   HERE COMES MY NEW PURCHASE!

 

Picture
 
JUNE 13, 2009     THIS WAY FELLOWS.  I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE TO PUT IT.

 

Picture
JUNE 13, 2009     SURE, I CAN STILL SUPERVISE THE PLACEMENT OF THE FURNITURE FROM UNDER HERE (WHERE IT'S SAFE).

 

Picture
JUNE 13, 2009     GREAT JOB GUYS!

 

Picture
JUNE 13, 2009     EXCELLENT COLOR CHOICE  --  THE NEW COUCH JUST MATCHES MY HAIR.

 

Picture
JUNE 13, 2009     OH WELL . . .   IT'S A DAWG'S LIFE . . . RIGHT, FRITZ?

 

Picture
JUNE 14, 2009     THE "NEW GUY" REALLY "RISES TO THE OCCASSION".  HEY FRITZ!  CAN YOU REACH EVERYTHING OK?  

 

Picture
JUNE 16, 2009     TIME TO HELP PAPA IN THE YARD.  HEY . . . I'LL DRIVE THE TRACTOR!  BETTER FOR ME TO VOLUNTEER FOR THIS JOB THAN THAT "SPECIAL NEEDS" GUY, FRITZ.  THAT COULD BE TRICKY!



 

Picture
JUNE 20, 2009     WITH A HEAT INDEX OF 101 DEGREES, I'M GOING TO BE A "KNOCK OUT" DAWG!


 

Picture
JUNE 21, 2009     JUST COULDN'T WAIT TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY "SPECIAL NEEDS" FRIEND, FRITZ. 
 I LET HIM PLAY WITH "MY" PINK BALL THAT AUNT JUDI GAVE ME.  IMAGINE . . . A BLIND DAWG PLAYING FETCH.  NOW HE'S GOT HIS OWN UTUBE VIDEO!  SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH.

 



 

Picture
JUNE 21, 2009     G0OD BOY FRITZ!

 

Picture
JUNE 21, 2009     PAPA JUST LOVES THE NEW HARLEY DAVIDSON SKULL CAP I GAVE HIM FOR FATHER'S DAY.  NOW ALL HE NEEDS IS THE BIKE!

 

Picture
JUNE 25, 2009     TODAY I WENT TO THE DOCTOR FOR DENTAL WORK.  BOW WOW!!!  I FEEL RUFF, RUFF!!!

 

Picture
JUNE 25, 2009     LOOKS LIKE THE "DAWG DAYS" OF SUMMER!
