Why Rosco is Moving Out...

Yesterday, in my 10 Honest Things

I mentioned that Rosco is moving out...

Some of you asked me why...

Rosco's Mom is my human sister...His Dad has been

in the Army for 3 yrs & came home from Iraq in January...

Rosco & his Mom stayed with us while his Dad was gone...

When his Dad came home, he had to stay in Georgia until he

was out of the Army completely...And, he is home now...

So Rosco & his Mom & Dad are moving into their

new house this weekend...

I will miss Rosco alot...But they won't be living far away

so I will get to see him all the time...

Just wanted everyone to know that Rosco moving out

is really Good News...He will finally be in his own home

with his Mom & Dad & they will all be together again...

What could be better...

10 Honest Things & An Award...

A couple days ago, My Friend Stella tagged

me to do the

10 Honest Things Game...

So, here I go...

1. As you all know...I LOVE to chase Squirells...Someday I will catch one...

2. I'm very protective of my Mom...I really don't like any other dog by her...

3. I always grab a toy & beat it up while my Mom makes my dinner...I don't know why...It's just something I do...

4. Sometimes I chew on stuff I know I'm not suppose to have...When I do my Mom always trades me a treat for what I have...Smart, Huh??

5. I hate baths...They make me cold...

6. I love to watch TV...I love to watch Animal Planet & Sponge Bob...

7. When my Mom helps me with my Blog, I always lay on the floor right next to her...

8. When my Mom wants me to do something, sometimes I pretend I don't know what she wants...Especially if I don't want to do it...

9. I won't look at the camera when my Mom tries to take a picture...

10. I love Rosco, and I'm gonna miss him when he moves out...He is probably moving this weekend...

Yard Work...

OK...So we got the Memory Card...

We went out to do some Yard Work Today...

Surveying the job...

Lots of work to do...

The fence blew down during the winter...

There is alot of winter damage out here...

Here's a video of me deciding where to start work...


Yard Work...Look at all the Sticks from Abby on Vimeo.

My leash makes it hard to work...

Why I Hate my Leash... from Abby on Vimeo.

You might wonder why my Mom has to keep me on

the leash in the yard...

Here's why...The fences are all gone & there is a big

cliff right behind the house...

My Dad promised he would put up a fence really soon...

Well, they are BBQ'ing ribs out on the deck...

That sounds like fun...I think I'll join them...

Well, it came yesterday & do you believe it...

She didn't know she needed a Memory Card...

Do I have to tell her everything?

What would she do without me???

I told her she had to pick one up after

work today...So we can get some pictures

An Award & the Camera is Officially Broke...

I got this Award from my Good Friend

Daisy the Pretty Pink Pit Bull...

Thank You, Daisy!!!

***************************

My Mom took me out for a little walk today & the

camera officially stopped working...

She was lucky enough to get a couple pictures before

it stopped completely...

Here I am exploring the yard...

There are alot of fresh smells & crunchy leaves

& buggies trying to look for food...

And, I also found this...

Our first Wild Spring Flower...

I don't know what it's called, but it sure is

pretty & its proof that Spring is here...Yay!!!

My Mom knew the camera was not working right so

she has ordered another one that is on it's way...

We should have it soon...

So we'll show you more of our New Spring stuff then...

1st Blogoversary & 2nd Date with Scruff...

Ok, So it's My 1st Blogoversary...

I can't believe it's been a whole year...

I was gonna take you for a walk around my neighborhood,

but just as me & my Mom started our walk, the

camera battery ran out...

So, we will be taking you on a tour of the

neighborhood in my next post...

Since we can't tour my neighborhood, I thought I

would tell you how I started Blogging...

One day a little over a year ago, my Mom was watching some morning TV show & she heard about this Golden Retriever named Max who has a Blog...My Mom was thinking "What can a dog have to Blog about??"....

Well she went over & read Max's Blog...She just loved it &

wanted to see if she could find any other Dogs that Blog...

So she Googled "Dogs with Blogs"...Guess what she found...

Yep, she found you guys...The best bunch of

Blogging Doggies & Kitties & Hammies in the world...

I have made sooo many wonderful friends here...

You've made me laugh & cry & think &

I've learned sooo much from all of you...

I Love You all...And, I'm sooo Proud & Happy to be

a part of Dogs With Blogs...

Thanks for making my 1st Blogging Year Sooo Much Fun!!!

********************************

And, speaking of fun...Guess where I went??

Scruff took me on a 2nd Date...

He picked me up in his private plane & we went to PARIS...

Do you believe it???

(Picture by Scruff)

It was sooo much fun...

We went to the Eiffel Tower &

ate Ice Cream & they rolled out the

Red Carpet for us at the Louvre...

Stop by Scruff's Blog for more pictures...

WARNING...& I got some Awards...

OK...For your own good...

DO NOT let your Mom anywhere around either

of these things...

If she finds those books...She will ignore you

for DAYS!!!

You will be lucky if she feeds you...

And, that movie...

OMdoG...If you sit next to her when

she watches it, she will hug you 'til you

think you can't breath...

You will actually wish she was reading the

stupid book...

I'm sooo glad she is almost done with

those books...And, she took the movie

out of the Movie Player thing...

**************************

And, while she has been ignoring me for

books & watching movies...

My Good Friend, Mango the Maltese gave

all his friends these Awards...

He asked me to stop by &

pick mine up...

So here they are...

Thank You, Mango...

Anyway...My Mom says she is gonna

help me catch up with everybody

tomorrow morning...

I'll believe it when I see it...

Abby xxxooo

Hi, Everybody...I'm still here...

I haven't been around much lately...

My Mom has been reading this book she says she CAN'T put down..

Sure she can...All she has to do is

PUT IT DOWN...

There are about 4 of these books that go together...

She is almost done & then she will help me catch up with everybody...

Sorry...She just needs to get her priorities straight...
