Gummi's Kitty Toy Tutorial

We know some of you have already seen this on Facebook, but it's just too cute not to share!



This was something I LOVED to do when I was a puppy, too! Did/do you?

Bajas
PeeESS: I didn't show him the trick, he figured it out himself.

Come take a walk in our garden!

Today is a gray, wet and miserable day around here. So - we thought we'd take you for a virtual stroll around our garden to see what's going on there at the moment.

Our butterfly nasturtium! It's climbing on and alongside our Lemon Drop chillies.

Casper going for a walk in our garden.

Sometimes we help Mom in the flower beds. She's somehow not always as impressed as she should be!

Can you see Virus checking out the veg patch? We're starting to wonder if we're getting baby corn rather than corn this year, if anything at all. This gray summer has not helped it grow fast enough we think.

Our cucumber plant is very productive and Mom eats at least one of this "Miniature White" cucumbers every day!

The kitties love playing in the garden! And Bajas and Gummi enjoy each other's company even if they're separated by a fence. Gummi still thinks Bajas is a big stuffed toy from time to time, and unless closely supervised they are separated.

Virus loves Bajas, Bajas thinks Virus can be a bit annoying from time to time.. LOL!

Our feathered poppies, "Venus", are finally in bloom. Strange and funny more than pretty, perhaps, but we like them!

Bajas is a very good gardening assistant!

Pretty, pale yellow nasturtium "Ice Age" looks nice along the purple chillies of our "Filius Blue".

We hope to get ripe tomatoes before the cold autumn is here. We'll see..

At least the "Hundreds and Thousands" are providing tomatoes for us! They are really living up to their name :)

Hope you all have a nice Sunday!

Love,
the WriggleButts

2011 Egg Challenge

Hi everyone!

Want to join the challenge? A discussion on WhippetWorld somehow turned into the 2011 Egg Challenge. Here's my video of my first introduction to a whole, raw egg. Why don't you try and show the result on your bloggy? I sure had fun, as you can see here:



Kisses,
Gummi

PeeEss: We had a question about the shell - it's no problem if the dogs eat them, we actually used ground eggshell for the kitties as a substitute for bone before they got to be great bone crunchers.
PeePeeEss: We know many who give eggs frozen as a nice, refreshing treat. It's good if they know it's edible before you try that one, though!

I has a FRIEND!

Okay, so I have my brudder Bajas (who think I can be a pain in the butt) and the kitties, but I haven't really had any friends of my own. But yesterday Mom had planned a play date for me! She joined the local dog club when we moved here, so we'll have someone to train with, and she posted on their facebook page if anyone would like to come along for some puppy socialization. And Alto and his mom said they would be happy to meet me and help me gain all the necessary social skills. Here's a video of what we did. We also had a running session at the end that Mom didn't video, and Alto did lots of puppy bowling which Mom says is good for me. And it was pretty fun, too! The humans agreed I have very good dog language skills. I didn't get scairt when Alto was growly with me, but I always knew he was the boss!



Hope you all have a great weekend, guys!

Meet Casper!

He's friendly, but not a ghost!



He's deaf and needed a new home. Originally friends of mine wanted to take him in, but it didn't work out. So now he's here to see if he'll get along with the boys here.



He enjoyed watching me water the plants last night. Otherwise he hasn't done much yet.. He's not afraid of the dogs, but thinks Gummi can play a bit too rough (don't we all..). Hopefully he can make a nice play mate for Hyssy (Virus can be a bit grumpy and doesn't want to play as much as Hyss) and perhaps even Gummi, too. Fingers crossed!
