Boogie

Good morning! Beautiful one isn't it? This morning Ringo and I went for a trek through the woods and boy was it refreshing! Fall is just around the corner so the mornings are crisp and dewy, I sure am loving it!

I know I have been absent lately but I have just been so busy with this beautiful weather and meeting new friends! Last night I met someone very, very...what's the word? Interesting...

Ringo and I approached this fuzzy, pink creature, who appeared to be sleeping for quite some time.

Suddenly he jumped up and started DANCING and SINGING! It was something about hip hop and that he's the dancing Limber Louie and he just can't stop...

At first I was frightened...

He just wouldn't stop bloody dancing!

But then Ringo couldn't resist the urge to boogie along with this "Louie"

Blimey! This little bloke really has some moves!


Ringo was slightly appalled by my "white boy dancing"

This was not my finest moment...at least Ringo is getting a kick out of my humiliation...

After that last picture I decided it was time to go to sleep. I think it will be a while before I invite Louie to play...he is a bad influence...

I think I might take a little cat nap in the spot by the window where the sun is shining through before I go outside to chase some squirrels and take another nap in the grass. I live such a hectic, rough life. Poor me.

Ta Ta!

Beach Bum

Good afternoon everyone! Hope you all had a very wonderful weekend, mine was quite relaxing. Actually, the past week was quite delightful! Jodi was such a doll to take me on vacation with her. I have never seen the beach so I was tickled when she told me we were going to Myrtle! I made sure I took my camera with me so all of you could see the fantastic time I had.

The night before we left, I met this awkward looking fellow...I am still not sure what he is, but he gave me the willies!

Har har, Jodi...she thought it would be funny to trip me while I was trying to get away from him.

So the next morning we were off, bright and early. I of course have no pictures of that because I slept for the first couple hours...When I woke up, we were in the mountains of West Virginia!

Beautiful, huh? I am ready to see some beach though!

Wow, what is this strange popping sensation in my ears?! I do not like it!

Jodi kept sticking me down here everytime we got to a toll...Thanks

Jodi told me I had to try to hold my breath through the whole thing...I think she is a little looney!

I felt like this tunnel was a transporter, but where will it take us?

Oh, Virginia!

Just chillin' on the dashboard, it was quite sunny!

We made a stop to eat in North Carolina. When Jodi said they had chicken salad I immediately envisioned the most amazing meal of a chicken sitting on lettuce...I found I was quite wrong, so I ate the grapes.

Wow, THIS is what the beach looks and feels like?

You are leaving me here, correct?

The first night someone set off some awesome fireworks right next to us. Of course a cop had to come ruin the fun!

Where's my breakfast in bed? Jodi just laughed at me and walked away...apparently she thought I was joking.

So I put on her glasses and sat on the balcony all day, soaking up the sun.

Working on my tan, I feel like I accomplished so much last week!

Here is the best part of vacation, I made a new friend! This bloke's name is Ringo, and we are pretty sure he is a lemur, but I don't think he even knows for sure. Honestly, things started out a little rough for us. There was some jealousy issues and uncertainty between us.

Here is where we first met, I figured something this small couldn't possibly be any threat to me.

But wait...what's this? A TAIL?! BLIMEY!

Slowly we began to warm up to each other, I even let him share my chair with me.

I am pretty sure he knew the tail was a sore spot for me...I had half a mind to shove him off, but Jodi was watching.

Before long, we were playing pick-up sticks and having a blast!

It was a very long and delicate process, but I of course won the game.

I pretty much avoided actually going on the beach all of vacation. I was perfectly content enjoying it from the balcony, especially after Jodi was stung by a jellyfish. I mean, really, who wants to get eaten by a shark or stung by a jellyfish?!

On the last evening, though, Jodi was able to convince me to at least sit near the shore. I agreed to this arrangement, but not before making Kevin build me a barrier to keep the water away.

On the morning we were getting ready to leave, Ringo and I had to say goodbye to the beach :(

He was very unfamiliar with tunnels, being in a store all his life, so I took the liberty to explain what it was and how you are supposed to hold your breath through the whole thing. He actually tried it! I thought the little fellow was going to pass out!

What on earth is this device? It's ugly! Get it away from me immediately!

Oh...it dispenses candy?!

I'll take that!

Oops, camera malfunction

So that was my week! I am sad it is over, but glad to be home where the deer population is bountiful and all my friends reside. I would like to go again someday soon, but I don't think Jodi and Steph will let me travel alone. I am pretty sure they think I would cause quite a fright for residents down there.

Everyone have a fantastic week!

Charlie : Candy Mountain

This is the only way I can figure out how to post the video, so here it is instead of at the end of the other post like I said.



Honestly, these sisters are quite odd!

My New Friend

Well it is quite a lovely morning out there, isn't it? Lucky for you blokes, I decided to take a break from the hot weather to make a little post for you. I must be quick though, I can't allow the others to have too much fun running through the sprinkler and drinking all my tea while I am away!

I know I am a little late on this but HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a very lovely Jodi. She came to visit me on Sunday, where I was introduced to an interesting creature, more on that later. She didn't stay long, they were all going out to watch the new Harry Potter movie. Honestly, I do not understand the hype, it's not like it's Twilight or something. Maybe I will have to read the books to see what is so great about this Harry Potter bloke. Maybe I can also talk the girls into taking me with them to see the movie next time they go, though I doubt they will take me over their new friend...

Which brings me to this...creature. I suppose Jodi gave it to Steph for her birthday when they exchanged gifts. Steph seemed positively delighted when she saw it, though I wasn't too sure of him at first.
In case you cannot read the name tag, it says "Hello! My name is: Charlie, Leave Me Alone" While many of you may be confused as to why it says that last little part, I included a video at the end of this post with the character that I am sure the creature was named after.

Then I realized he is quite brilliant
We very quickly became friends

Although, he is not too good at playing hide-n-seek

Steph informed us that our "ship" was a gift from Jodi and that after today we would not be able to play in it. So we took full advantage of it for those few short minutes.

Now Charlie, Sunshine Bear, Crocky, Froggy, and I are soaking up the sun while Steph and Nick are at work. They were gone for a week not too long ago and I, being the oldest, was left in charge. Needless to say, they came back too soon so now we have to utilize their work days. I think I just heard Charlie calling my name, I better head out there! It might be my turn on the slip and slide!

Cheerio!

A Week With the Sisters

Well, this week has been quite a blast staying at Steph's with Jodi. I will just get right into the pictures and even a little timeline of what we did!

Day 1: Jodi, Kevin, and I brought Steph some amazingly delicious pizza and breadsticks. Later we watched Interview With a Vampire, which Steph screamed twice. I eventually sat beside her so she would feel more safe!

Day 2: Steph, Jodi, and I ventured to Wal-Mart to get some stuff to make S'more goodness!

Do all humans carry socks in their car door? You sure are a rare breed.

Head banging to some Paramore

YEAH!

WOO!

If they are going to put a lid with a hole on a frosty, maybe make the hole big enough to fit a spoon!

Once we were back at Steph's house we began the task of making S'mores cookie bars and S'more cookies!
I offered my assistance to mix the batter for the bars since Jodi was making a dreadful mess!

Halfway done with the bars! Look at all that chocolate. And let me just say, the next step of spreading on the marshmellow cream was NOT a fun task, Jodi had to take over for me.

While Jodi did the marshmellow cream, I helped Steph cute up the chocolate bars for the cookies. I think she was a little nervous about me using a knife.

Did Jodi seriously just slap my paw away? The nerve!

How delightful everything turned out!

Day 3: Jodi had the day off so we lounged around the house until Steph came home from work. After that we took a little road trip on the back roads of this lovely county.

Ahh fresh country air

Giant....marshmellows?

I felt compelled to sit on them.

Found a creepy old Amish school with a little playground. I just had to try out the slide!

Oh deary me, straighten out!!

Phew! Just in time!

Since I have a slight problem holding onto the ropes on either side, I decided the swing works just as well as a sun bathing seat.

Right now she is telling Steph "please let me inside away from this scary panther!" She must have sensed my hunger.

This is what you will see every 5 minutes on these back roads.

Yes, I am aware of my nose crowding the picture, but Jodi said she feared I was about to fall out the window. I think it was actually because of the two Amish boys watching us...

Photo op with Jodi!

Some people have to run all the fun!

I felt slightly nauseous in what appears to be a time warp zone!

And since the girls know me so well, we stopped by a farm to look at the animals.

I am pretty sure that little white llama laying down is sizing me up

The cows across the road would not stop mooing at us. No worries, though, I scared them off!

So there you have it! Tonight we are just going to relax with a movie and some snacks before Nick comes home. Hopefully we will get to have more adventures like this soon! It's a dreadfully rainy day and both girls are at work so I am just going to lay in bed until they get here.

Have a great weekend!
