Cool Weather, Costume Crafts & Outdoor Fun!

Unfortunately, Spa Day was called off on a account of beautiful, clear and cool weather. The water just didn't warm enough for a Sweet Boy to bath without the risk of a chill... so we postponed until tomorrow. It should be a little warmer, a little earlier tomorrow.

It's all good, because I had more time to work on Halloween costume crafts...

We don't have any fun parties to go to this year, but this is Pet Fest weekend in Old Town Spring. GRRH will be there, and there is a fun costume parade and lots of stuff to see and do and eat.

Next weekend, I'm going to the Howl-O-Ween Festival at Bridgeland. GRRH will have a booth there, and Reufus and I will be there to work the crowd...

And you know how I love to work a crowd! Here I am honing my talent with my the Aunt Madison who I love love LOVE!

One great thing about being tall is that my head is the perfect height for people to pet without even realizing their doing it.

Oh... and then there's my patented three point circle, where... when I sense someone tiring of petting me, I make a quick circle, reintroduce myself as if I'm a different dog... and we start over with the loving!

Of course, I can't think about Halloween without thinking of our The Luke. I'm sure from his vantage point in Heaven, he wouldn't mind if I borrowed those cuffs...

Speaking of... Has anyone seen Reufus???

Silly Boy! And he's been a busy one today! Like me, he made the most of this beautiful day. The Mom threw his bowling pin tennis ball (well... what would YOU call it???). She threw it a time or two for me, but she had to hold Reuf by the scruff of his neck in order for me to want to chase it. I'm SO not about competition! We each have a bowling pin, but he always wants mine. He wants it? He can have it!

He does LOVE the retrieve!

...And the down and chew!

Of course, Reuf was soon ready to stop and snack from the Backyard Buffet.

I guess I'm not one to talk, as I harvest... and ok, eat... what's left of the pecan crop. Tasty!

If not for the Dyson dusting and vacuuming fury, it was pretty much a perfect Saturday!

And now... I promised Reufus he could have the final word...

G'Nite Ya'all!!!

Friday Night Wrights!

Happy Friday Night!
It's been a very exciting day around here for reasons that I'm not yet at liberty to disclose... but it might have to do with a certain handsome boy expressing his gratitude in a public way. And I would hardly describe the Reuf as handsome. Cute, maybe... but not yet handsome. And I'll leave it at that, for now!

It's our favorite kind of Friday Night, and that means that we are sitting around here, visiting with friends and basking in the goodness and joy of our everyday life!

And one thing we're thinking about is... our sleep pattern.

Our schedule these days includes the Mom waking me up in the middle of the night to go outside. Yes, you read that right... She wakes me up to go outside.

And that's because it's best that my bladder is emptied as often as possible. Have a doctor tell my the Mom something like that... and you will be set up on a regular and often trip outside FOREVER... I'm not complaining, and neither is she!

Our routine is that the Mom gets up, disarms the alarm, wakes me up, calls me to the door and I go out. The Mom stands by the back door and watches what I do. I do small business, come right back in and go straight back to bed.

And all the while, Reuf slumbers in his kennel.

I have never been a morning person. I have always preferred to sleep in... and in fact, I never truly wake up until around 1030am. On the Mom's schedule, I'm outside at 230am and could sleep until 630am... but the Reuf starts quietly banging on the kennel at 430am, whether it's week or weekend! (We usually get up around 5am during the week).

All of that to say... We are stayin up now so that we can go outside late, so that we can get up in the middle of the night and be back to bed in time to get up super early! And to quote the Mom... "small price to pay, we'll happily do it FOREVER!"! 

This is not an appropriate time to tell you how Reufus has destroyed our home blinds, so I will just say this... We are working very hard with his training!.

We've made oodles of progress, but there's no need to replace anything yet. Sigh. Not yet...

On a brighter note, I offer you these FrEYEday SKYday photos!

Due to my super secret project today, I was a little late getting out to take my SKYday photos . I think this may mean that BLEU is a bit muted, but I think you can still enjoy the tranquility with me!

Of course, I heard again this morning... Meteorologists predict a warm, dry winter, and that means that the drought and fire danger will continue for quite some time.

So just like I tell the Reuf, "Good looks can be deceiving!"

Well, I've got BIG plans for tomorrow... SPA day and PHOTO shoot in the morning! Costume Crafts in the afternoon!

Night Night, My Friends!

Thank You for your support of The Love Protocol!

with Reufus away in training class, because...
Ahhhhhhhh is not, technically, a word.]
