Another "Fall" at our place

Wish people would just call the season "Autumn" instead of "Fall."   

Well you all know I blogged about the  "fall" that Grandma had when she fell down after us dog's got a bath from fleas.

Guess what else decided to "fall".

Tree branches!

Right on Mommy's Car.

And almost on Mommy's head!

Luckily Mommy was standing a couple of steps away from the car when the branches fell.  It could have killed her!


So, we had to get some of our trees trimmed ASAP. There's only so much Mommy can afford and we are still trying to pay off the roof that we put in earlier in the year. So, I had to make an Executive Decision as Head of House, and decided we could only get some trees trimmed and other trees removed right now. 

The tree trimmers trimmed some branches and cut down some trees.

Us dog's had to supervise the tree trimming company.  They came out and trimmed some trees yesterday.  It was hard work supervising from the kitchen -- butt we did a pawsome job.  We supervised from the kitchen because it was a safe place.

Not sure how those threads got pulled out of the little carpet in the kitchen while we were in there supervising. 

Mommy got an estimate on her car, she was in tears, butt thankfully has insurance. The branches dented her roof near the rear windshield.  The branches also put a dent on the side of the car and scratched it up all over! (That little piece of bark was like the branch's calling card -- the rest of the branches broke off in several pieces and were laying all over the ground.)

Not sure if you can see, how the roof of the car is dented behind the black antenna.  The dent runs parallel with the rear windshield. 

So, please refer to the season as "Autumn" around Mommy, because enough "Fall" has been going on around our place lately.  

Thanks for listening, we appreciate it.

Lassiter Chase and Benjamin Gilligan the Shelties

P.S.  While Mommy was waiting for the tree trimmers to arrive and give an estimate -- Mommy's niece decided to write words that describe us.  She wrote "Lassiter" and "Benjamin" going up and down and then tried to write words to describe us that started with that letter in our names.  Mommy's niece asked for some help on some words -- Mommy wasn't focused at all on it, butt did her best to help.

We were both exhausted  from waiting for them to compile this list of words to describe us.  (I am on the sofa and Benji is on the floor.)

Here's what it says for "Lassiter"... Loveable (Note: they were going to write Loud instead, butt I made them change it!), Awesome, Smart, Skinny (I'm under 30 pounds), Intelligent, Talentive (Note: it's supposed to say Talented, but Mommy wasn't focused and she must have said the wrong word, or didn't notice the spelling error.), Extraordinary, Respectful (Note: Mommy's niece came up with this word. Mommy's niece said -- when we eat, Lassie doesn't step on our feet or bark at us to try to eat what we are eating -- Benji has no table manners!.)

Here's what it says for "Benjamin"...Barkitive (Is that even a word), Entertaining, Naughty, Jumpy, Athletic, Monster (Note: Mommy couldn't think straight at this point -- and Grandma was the one that said Monster), Inquisitive, Nosy (Note: we couldn't figure out if there was supposed to be an "e" in that word or not to be Nosey.)    

Right before the photo was taken, Mommy actually noticed that the name Benjamin was misspelled.  It used to say Benji-man.   Mommy stared at it and stared at it -- finally she noticed his name was misspelled. 

By the time they finished putting together this list of words -- Benji and I were fast asleep.  Took them forever!
