The Murder of Mr. Hedgehog



The crime scene




The culprit




yeah, I did it.

 In my defence, he was trying to take my blanket... and don't worry, the death announcement was premature. Mama did surgery on him and gave him (and all the stuffies) a bath.  It will take me days to get them all stinky again.

Rainy Day

It's a rainy day today, so we are taking it easy.  I (sort of) feel sorry for all the people going to the U2 concert here at Magnetic Hill today in the rain, but at least they won't get sunburned. Beckett has been limping on and off for a little while now and I have been trying to keep him from running around too much, since he seems to forget the limp every so often.  It's also a long weekend in New Brunswick so one lazy day is OK.  Veil is going to snuggle down with the afghan her nanny knit and read what everyone else is up to on the Saturday Pet Blogger Hop.

Adventures in Daddy Sitting

So Mr. J has been on vacation this week and next week too.  My vacation was cancelled due to some changes at the office, "sigh".  Beckett, Veil and Maddy have been trying hard to keep him entertained while I'm at work.  Usually he is gone to work when we get up in the morning and I get home from work before him so they really aren't that used to him being around with them alone.   I guess today Veil decided it would be a good day to get the tummy troubles that only grass-eating can fix, in her opinion, and then proceeded to make a production of gagging and hurling it up. 

Mr. J - Veil, eating that is gonna make you puke you know.
Veil - Of course I know, why do you think I'm eating it...?
Mr. J - Well at least do it outside, please.
Veil - We will see, sometimes it makes me feel better if I do it on the carpet.

Then he took Beckett out to have a pee.

Mr. J. - Beckett, your foot, buddy, you're peeing all over it!
Beckett - Whaatt?  I thought the grass was just wet...
Mr. J - Didn't you notice it was warm and just that one foot?
Beckett - Mama never calls me out on that, we just pretend it didn't happen and move on.

and in the midst of it, Maddy decided she might be getting anxious...

Mr. J - Maddy, do you want your thundershirt on?
Maddy - Do you know how to do it?
Mr. J - It's a shirt with velcro, I think I can figure it out.
Maddy - I think a few treats and some carrots would fix me right up, instead. You get the treats and I'll stand here looking miserable while you feed them to me.

I would still rather be home with them...

Wordless Wednesday

Just Veil

Sometimes it's nice to run naked in the yard.

Although I do love the fancy collars, a greyhound neck is beautiful on its own!

Play Time

We weren't doing anything...We certainly weren't playing "spin on the bed", honest! 

Maddy's New Shirt

Hi, It's Veil again today!  Mama went to the pet store on Friday and came home with a new shirt for Maddy.  There was nothing for me in the bag. I check twice just to make sure.  Mama said it for Maddy's anxiety.  I was not impressed, I like new clothes too.

 Especially when she stood around showing it off.

Me: Come on Veil, you know Maddy gets upset sometimes and it's no fun for her...

Veil: You're not going get a smile out of me today, unless we take a drive to the pet boutique.
