Pop Quiz and a sign...

Pop Quiz

Question 1) Which tomato do you think came from Mommy's garden outside and which one did Mommy buy in the store ?



Question 2) Which green pepper do you think came from Mommy's garden outside and which one did Mommy buy in the store?




Question 3) There isn't a picture to show a comparison -- but do you think if I had a picture of a small cucumber vs a large cucumber -- which cucumber do you think came from Mommy's garden?

O.K. Time is up for the quiz. Let's see how you did in the Pop Quiz...


-------------------


The answer to all 3 questions -- the smaller vegetable came from Mommy's garden! (Mommy needs to buy Miracle Grow or something next year!!! That was just pathetic!)

------------------

2. In Mommy's defense, that was one huge cucumber she bought at the store in one of the above photos. Here is a picture of one of the little pepper's still on the plant outside in the garden.



------------------

3. Here is a random picture from the yard today. When Mommy was taking the picture of the Pepper on the plant, she noticed my ball suspended in the air. How in the world did my green ball get up in the Christmas Tree like that -- probably aliens, (or Mommy's niece or nephew)!




-----------------

4. After reading fellow doggie blogs, there was a picture of a Sheltie puppy wearing a "bad dog" Halloween costume. It was so cute and so funny all at the same time. Mommy just had to show everyone the "Bad Dog" sign that hangs in the window of our front door. The sign is a bit faded from being in the window -- but as you can see, the dog in the sign looks nothing like me right? (I am doing my best impression of the dog in the sign -- well actually -- I am trying to bite the sign.)

I'm not a bad dog -- we need a new sign for the front door!



Funny story about the "Bad Dog Sign" -- a visitor came to our house once when I was a puppy, and my big brother Lucky was still alive. (Lucky was the Bishon Frise that only had 3 legs.) So, anyway, the visitor saw the sign in our door and was terrified to come into our house. Then once she finally came into the house and saw Lucky with only 3 legs and me only a wee little puppy in my training crate -- the visitor laughed so hard. She even told us how she saw the sign and was so afraid to come into the house -- but then after seeing us dogs -- she was laughing so hard. (Mommy said -- the sign is supposed to scare off intruders; hopefully people see the sign and hear the barking and will connect the two and assume it's a big dog barking, and just leave.) The visitor said, it worked for her -- she assumed there was a big dog in the house ready to attack her.

Hope that story made sense, Mommy can't write too well at night -- she is more of a morning person.


Have a great night everyone.

It's Taco Day - October 4th

It's Taco time!



I waited and waited and finally it's Taco Day! Mommy surprised me and took me to Señor Potato Garcia's Taco Bar (the Taco Bar looks a lot like the kitchen in my house.)

I was so surprised that Señor Potato Garcia was actually there at the Taco Bar to greet me and be the host for my very first Taco experience! What an honor! (Señor Potato Garcia looks like a 10 lb bag of Potato's wearing a sombrero hat!)





Señor Potato Garcia was such a nice host at the Taco Bar eventhough he didn't say much. He made one delicious taco indeed! It had meat, lettuce, tomato, and cheese! I ate the inside real fast, but it took me a while to eat the taco shell. (His "secret" ingredient was to use a Sponge Bob Square Pants Taco Kit. I got to use a Squidward taco holder!)

Mommy even played the trombone to accompany my dinner. She played two songs -- from a Trombone song book that has a CD to go along with the book. This was the first time she played these songs (you can tell!)

(Mommy should have practiced a little before playing the trombone -- butt she's been so busy lately, and she only plays the trombone for fun anyway. )

We even got to record a video from the Taco Bar (it's kinda long and a bit boring at times.)

Hope everyone has a great Taco Day!

Do Birds Really Fly South?

What a strange day!

Well, first Mommy's alarm on her cell phone usually goes off at 5 am so she can get ready for work Monday to Friday -- but on the weekend she doesn't set her alarm. I kinda forgot that today was Saturday, so I got a little worried because the alarm didn't ring at 5 am. So, I jumped on the bed and reached with my paw over to the night stand and accidentally knocked Mommy's cell phone onto the floor. I was just trying to see if the alarm was working -- and it fell on the floor by mistake. No worries, it didn't break. Mommy had to remind me that it was the weekend and she went back to bed.

Finally at 7 am, Mommy decides to get up and let me out in the yard to go pee. So, there I am in the middle of my leg lift pee stand when all of the sudden all these birds fly right over our heads when I am in the middle of going to the potty.

Mommy didn't move, because she was afraid if she ran in to get her camera, that I would follow her and leave a trail of pee right into the house.

So, the birds decided to rest on the trees a few doors down. So, Mommy got her camera. But there are so many trees and leaves , you can hardly see the birds.

Oh and at the end of the video, Mommy bought herself a wooden game ($1.50) and a tripod for the camera ($3) at a yard sale today. So, Mommy did a test video using the tripod and the game. She hopes to use the tripod to record me doing something, so it's not a complete waste of money, I hope. Oh, and Mommy and I are both Survivor and Big Brother fans, so the wooden game she bought reminds her of challenges that they do on those shows -- Mommy is so happy with her new game, and I like to watch Mommy (messing up) I mean, playing the game.

Here is the video http://youtu.be/E2BOhoqCkIg




Picture of me with the box of Mommy's new game.

Have a great night!

P.S. I have to remember to post/re-post my TACO video on Tuesday. Mommy accidentally posted the video early and then quickly removed it because Taco day is October 4th, and she didn't know she was supposed to wait until October 4th to post the video. But Jazzi, being so nice, said Mommy can quickly remove the video from the original post and then re-post on Oct 4 - no worries! (Mommy messed up -- I know!) So, for some readers you already saw the video -- but for those of you who didn't, I will post it on October 4th, (if I remember.) Sorry!
