Mommy got some new medicines for me

and now my hips don't hurt so much.  Plus she let me ride in the car yesterday which she never does.  We went for a long drive and it was wonderful.  Except for the little rat dogs in the car next to us at a light.  They were barking so of course I had to bark back and then mommy yelled at me.  

But today has been good.  Mommy played out back in the yard with us and washed my blankets for me.  Plus she brought home another big bag of food.  The bucket was getting kind of low and I was getting a little worried.

Oops- here comes mommy, I have to go.

Another busy week in Tok's house

This is Tok's mommy again.  We have had a busy week this past week but the blessing have been abundant as well.  Bek has been at dance for 2 evenings, Tok and Quilla went for a couple of walks, daddy has been super busy at work and Mommy has had a lot of school work to do. 

Nothing super fun has happened unless you count mommy's markmanship improvements and Bek's new school classes. 

Here is hoping that the coming week will be calmer with less school work but we are not holding our breath.

I had to have a bath...

Mommy is playing with the camera so I am typing this from in hiding.

I stink, am wet and nasty all because Mommy and Bek decided to give me a bath today. Why do humans think getting wet and soapy is so great? I don't like it and neither does Quilla. She also had a bath and now she is cold.

Daddy was gone at work until just before the bath but he didn't even bail me out. He simply held me still for mommy.

The indignities of being a dog!

Tok here...

Mommy says the funniest thing. She seems to think I am gaining weight but I know that there is no truth to that. She is so silly.

Unfortunately that silly cat, Toby, is losing a little weight and he can move faster when I chase him. Bugs the kitten appears to be losing weight also but he has been outside a lot which always makes him skinny.

Quilla and I took a short walk with Bek and Daddy tonight and it was so sticky. But we had bones when we got home- yummy!

That is it for now.

What a week!

This is Tok's mom again. His toenails are too long to type at the moment so I get to update everyone.

Monday was a pleasant Labor Day at our house. We cleaned some things up, did some rearranging, then watched a movie as a family. Bek did not have dance because of the holiday so we did not do our normal Monday night running around. Family Home Evening was relaxing and full of giggles. Tok wasn't so thrilled when we tried to get him in on the deal though.

Tuesday was a pretty normal day but Weds. night was stressful!

Bek and Daddy walked Tok and Quilla after church while Mommy worked on school. Unfortunately, Bek cut herself on some rusty rebar right off the road (there isn't a sidewalk) and the gash was ugly. I took some pictures that night, cleaned it up and decided it was probably time for a tetanus shot.

Thursday we had a 4-H meeting by the docs office so we went from 4-H to the doctor and the gash did not need stitches but was already quite infected. So, antibiotics, a tetanus shot (not pleasant) and some instructions for care before coming home to rest. The night meant sleeping in the living room to keep an eye on Bek just to be sure she didn't have a reaction to the meds or the vaccine.

Today was the homeschoolers potluck and we had a fun time although Bek developed a fever requiring us to leave early.

Now it is Friday night, I have finished my school work for the day and am heading to bed after a movie with the family. What a week!!
