Do you remember last week when I told you the snoopervising committee knocked on my door? My neighbor wanted to remove 2 trees and limb up another 3 trees to allow more sunlight into her yard. As it turned out, two of the trees were technically on my property.
I told the HOA I didn’t mind her removing the trees {at her cost of course}. I think they were a little baffled because they were ready to tell her no.
Anywho, the tree guys came earlier this week to remove the trees and HOLY COW MAN… my backyard just got a little sunnier. I am thrilled. Even if it does mean the neighbors can see into my backyard now. Note to self: Start {slowly} bringing up the subject of building more garden boxes in the backyard to the HH}. 
Lucy. I am beginning to think she is a tad bit spoiled. She spends her summer days rolling around on the grass for hours on end.
And then walks around in circles until someone brings her a pillow and a blanket to lay on. Is that normal? I’m pretty sure it’s not. But Lucy is our first dog… so maybe I’m still not doing enough for her. 😉
The countdown to homemade sauerkraut begins.
The Girl met a boy at work and he is kind of keen on her.
I basically told him that not only do I know where he works, but where he lives. And if he doesn’t behave, I would cut him.
It just came out of my mouth. And I still can’t believe I said that.
But I think I scared him.
Which is a good thing, right?
Carla says
Mavis yes it’s a good thing to scare the boyfriend! !!
Lucy is more than a “little” spoiled.
Mrs. Chow says
Yes, tell any potential boyfriend that you will sic Lucy the Trouble Puggle on him!
Jeanie says
lucy is happy…that is all that matters. I am hoping that you will share if you lost weight on your month of dehydrated food.
Mavis Butterfield says
I will, at the end of 30 days.

Your cabbage leaves look really healthy, it must be the shade? My cabbage is out in full sun and even though I’ve been watering every other day the leaves are still drying out. Maybe I’ll prop up an umbrella over the next couple of days to give it some sun/heat protection.

Lucy is living “the dog days of summer”. Normal for hot weather.
My husband said the same (really worse) when our daughter first dated; should be the norm just so they know to whom they are accountable! 🙂

My niece recently went on her first solo date after many group dates. A few days later “that boy” came over and her dad decided to scare him by plucking out one of “that boy”‘s eyebrows and putting it in a ziploc bag, “for future reference.” Dad was not respectful of girls when he was young, and he doesn’t want his daughter running into the same kind of men that he was! She was annoyed but it was all in fun, after all! 😀

I’ve found that when my pets get wind of my weakness toward making sure they are pleased, they aren’t content with an inch; they ask for a mile. 😉
And I give it. 🙁 I’ve almost killed a couple of them with kindness! (Usually by overfeeding…) But if you can avoid physical harm, I find it quite entertaining to be considered a veritable vending machine of happiness for them. I find I receive in kind.
Love your cute Pug!
Ann says
Did you seriously threaten to cut you daughters friend? Please tell me you are joking.
Helen in Meridian says
I should think that with your starvations like mode, you would threated to make a stew out of him, and add some of your cabbage, like Mrs. Rabbit. My cabbage patch kids, Willis, and Waldo, want to make sure you carefully check for kids before shredding the cabbage for sauerkraut.
Mavis Butterfield says
HA! I am currently reading Beatrix Potter! Very timely Helen.
Donna says
I think being ‘spoiled’ is a badge of honor for our furbabies. Mine is spoiled and is quite proud of it. I’m not sure there is such a thing as too spoiled. LOL. She looks very happy and isn’t that what really matters??
Mavis Butterfield says
Happiness is HUGE. I love her to bits. Lucy is soooo much fun.
