Not much goin' on

I know, I know. I've been slacking on the blog entries. Truth is there isn't much to tell unless you want to see more pictures of Poe. Kit is still outstanding in her sentry duty, and we got a surprise new lamb, (we thought we were finished a month ago)

but other than that it hasn't been very exciting. (Especially since Scott won't let me post that really cute picture of him and Poe from last night, cuddling in bed. That kitten has really gotten attached to him.) Most of the time I spend my days looking at the same view.

We are getting the dogs ready for our trial season which starts in a couple of weeks, so I end up spending the entire day looking at Scott from across the field while we polish up the dogs. To ensure I always have a good run, I have been bringing my own cheering section.

Slacking

Scott has been very sick with the flu this week so not much has been happening. It's an excuse for everyone else to do alot of laying around.

Poe has been using this time to try out some new places to be lazy.

Finally, he found his favorite place.

Team Effort

Alot of people have been telling me they like my blog, and I always tell them thank you. However, I neglect to tell them that I can't take all the credit. It's really a group of minds that contribute. I come up with the stories, sure. But then they go through revisions with the jr. member of the team.
And of course the the boss has final approval.So now you know. It's not just me, and I have given credit where credit is due.

Poe Games

Poe has moved in and taken over.Most of the animals stay out of his way while he does whatever he wants.but Salem is still following him around. He's finding it hard to maintain an aloof disdainful composure when Poe gets to play all the best games.

First Day

It was a big day today. Poe came home. I set him up in the bathroom until he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the house menagerie. Skid was first. Poe declared that he wasn't the least bit amused by the hooligan and decided to keep his distance.Salem stated that the situation was insufferable and he was blowing this joint. However, he made sure to inspect all of Poe's belongings, and then went and checked on his own stuff to be sure nothing had been changed.When he felt comfortable, Poe wandered out to the front room where he met more dogs.
Oddly enough, despite his declaration of intolerance, Salem continued to "accidentally" end up running into Poe. Then Poe tested out the couch for use as a scratching post,and finding all to his satisfaction, an uncontrollable cat nap took over.

Look!

See? See!That, my friends, is green grass. It's a sign that spring is coming.
Another sign? The Duck is in his domain.

Personal Protection

Scott will be leaving to teach a clinic for 10 days at the end of this week. Some people wonder if I get nervous living alone out here on the farm. I don't. Of course I have Skid, and that is good enough protection but what about Kit? If you were thinking of causing some mischief you might re think it when you saw her greeting. Hmm, maybe I should show the real picture.Or the whole picture?Yeah, perhaps I should continue to rely on Skid.
