So sassy!

Bubsy: Where should we begin, sissy, there’s so much going on lately? First let’s say it’s been a challenging week here in Texas. Tornado after tornado has ripped thru our great state. We were awakened very early this morning to more tornado activity. There are search and rescue units working all hours to try to find more survivors in the rubble. Mom went thru our pantry and will go thru her closet later today to donate what she/we can. The devastation is real, my friends. REAL! As sad/hard as it has been, let’s try to change gears and attempt to lighten the mood. So my sassy sissy, how are you feeling today?

Sissy: Overall, I’m still freaked out from the events of 4:30 this morning when tornadoes ripped around us. However, I’m better than yesterday, as far as how I feel physically. Yesterday I was feeling dazed and confused…and downright angry too. 

Bubsy: Angry?

Sissy: Yes, angry. Mom took us to the vet, she stood by knowing I was being repeatedly stabbed then she paid for the multiple stabbing with a smile on her face. Like she was happy knowing I got stabbed and was leaving in misery. Dazed! Confused! And angry is how I spent my day. Not to mention, I was in pain and sore for hours afterwards. 

Bubsy: Poor you! Now let me tell this other part of the story of the vet visit. We actually both went to the vet yesterday, sissy had a full office visit with the vet and I just had a tech appointment for my heartworm shot. So the vet tech took me to the back to give me my heartworm shot. Meanwhile sissy and mom were in one of the exam rooms. After a little while the vet questioned, “Where is Landon?”. Mom shrugged her shoulders and said the vet tech already took me to the back. The vet then says, “But that shouldn’t have taken very long, let me go find Landon.” So the vet comes to the back area to find me and there I was playing and making friends with two of the vet techs. The vet tech then returned me to mom and apologized for the delay while explaining he was just having fun playing with me. 

Sissy: Oh geez, are you done yet? I was ready to hit the road and leave your fluffy butt there. By the way this is a pointless story you just told. 

Bubsy: Not a pointless story at all. My point is the difference between you and I. They took you to the back to give you your shots but they promptly returned you to mom and explained you are quite the disagreeable little sassy thing. But as for me….the vet tech didn’t want to return me. He would’ve taken me home.😉

Sissy: I’m not about to make friends with people that stab me. There’s something wrong with you that you were willing to be friendly to the vet tech that gave you a shot. I gave them every bit of sass I had in me at that early hour of the day. 

Bubsy: Oh sissy, no one is doubting that!😉 Let’s move on, what else is going on? It’s a holiday weekend, the start of summer. Which means it’s the start of the smoking meat season around here. That’s all you can smell for miles…meat smoking from about 5:00 am on Sunday throughout the day on Monday. It’s a beautiful thing. All the meat smoking fun will repeat on July 4th then again on Labor Day weekend. 

Sissy: They gotta smoke the meat since we can’t keep the lights on to cook in a kitchen. I got brushed this morning by flashlight. Flashlights, lighter fluid, and charcoal are all precious commodities here right now. By the way, that blackout this morning was long. And it delayed our morning quite a bit as mom didn’t want to walk us without streetlights being on. So we had to wait until it naturally got light outside. 

Bubsy: This has been a very weird Springtime for us. All these power grid failures…well, I never thought they would go all Spring like this. Thought they’d have it fixed by now. 

Sissy: Well mom thought dad would have a job by now. But it’s been almost a year since he’s reported to a job. Still nothing going on there. 

Bubsy: 😬….and on that lovely side note that sissy just added. Let’s wrap this up…the French Open started today so let’s go watch some tennis.🎾  Have a beautiful and safe Memorial Day to everyone that reads this. May God bless America and Texas! #texasstrong

Drama, Drama

Busy: Well sissy, I must say you are looking lovely today. 

Sissy: I know! 

Bubsy: Clearly you take compliments well. 

Sissy: When you know you look good, it’s okay to acknowledge it. Mom said my “Grinch” feet are not appropriate this time of year. Whatever to that.🙄 But anyway, in more important news…have you caught the fever yet?

Bubsy: Yes, sissy! I have caught the fever! Both Dallas teams have advanced to the finals. Yep, the FINALS! One of those trophies is coming home to Big D. Oh wait, hockey has a giant cup not exactly a trophy. But we’re accepting of anything. 😉

Sissy: Hey, who knows…maybe both. I have time to attend two championship parades. 

Bubsy: Can you imagine if they both win? The pressure the lame Cowboys will feel, not to mention how jealous the rest of the country will be of us here. 

Sissy: Allow me to help people not be jealous of us here. We still can’t keep the lights on here. The power grid is still struggling….and bro, summertime is approaching fast. It’s been in the low 90s this weekend. The brilliant idea this week was to have residents agree to new electric contracts to sell back any unused power. I do not have the capability inside my tiny brain to figure out how that all works, so don’t ask. Oh and we had such a HUGE storm on Thursday, it stretched over the entire state of Texas. And we aren’t a tiny state, people.

Bubsy: That storm on Thursday was ridiculous. It was so dark out, I thought it was another eclipse. So what else is going on?

Sissy: Mom was on the case this weekend..

Bubsy: Yep, quite the drama on our usually quiet little street. Boy, did those people pick the wrong street to be on because our momma was watching and was suspicious and stood ready to report them. 

Sissy: Here’s what happened, a strange young lady came to our door. Usually our parents never answer the door. 

Bubsy: Mom was not home. And for some unknown reason, dad decided to open the door. He then heard the lady’s sob story and was asked if he could loan his phone to her. Which he did.

Sissy: Dad’s stupidity in this entire encounter is really off the charts. After the young lady finally left. She tried to come back a couple times. Dad was at least smart enough to stop opening the door to her.

Bubsy: Then mom arrived home. Let me repeat that…then MOM ARRIVED HOME! She saw the lady and gave her one of her classic mom death glares. Yikes! 😬 

Sissy: Mom has been waiting and watching to see what else transpired because mom had her suspicions that this young lady is a squatter and has broken into a vacant house on our street. 

Bubsy: Well bingo, this morning mom and us saw the young lady plus a guy with a flashlight going from the front yard to the backyard. It wasn’t long before the police arrived. 

Sissy: Hmm, wonder who tipped off the police about the suspicious activity and squatters taking over a vacant house. 🤔 

Bubsy: It was MOM! But she has yet to tell Dad she was the one that tipped off police. Dad slept thru most of the drama of the morning. He woke up as police were wrapping things up and leaving. 

Sissy: It was quite the drama for sure. Hopefully it’s all over with now. 

Bubsy: So sissy let’s put a wrap on this one. This has been a very long post today. 

Sissy: You’re right bro, we have things to do. We’ll catch you all later…as in next Sunday. Enjoy our freshly groomed and looking so fly pic below. Have a good week! 🐾

So Appreciated

Bubsy: First off, Happy Mother’s Day to all mommas out there. Whether you are a mom to human kiddos or fur baby kiddos, hope you are enjoying your day. Obviously, in our household it’s Dog Mom Sunday.

Sissy: It’s a rainy gloomy dog mom Sunday. The parents are relaxing and being lazy. Well…at least dad is being lazy. Not sure I’d say mom is doing the same. She always seems to be busy.

Bubsy: So it was a big week. A busy week for mom. It was teacher appreciation week. I think she scored pretty big. The pics of mom’s haul of teacher appreciation gifts is at the bottom. With a bonus pic of Skylar’s gift to momma. Just kidding, mom has a kiddo named Skylar at school. Skylar at her school is a hair puller. Raise your hand/paw if you believe my sissy would be a hair puller if she was a human kiddo….you can’t see me…but I have both front paws up. 🐾 

Sissy: She got quite a few gift cards. Hope she spends some on us! 😉 

Bubsy: Since it is Mother’s Day today, mom was busy the last two days making desserts for the mom’s day get-together. She started Friday night. 

Sissy: Has she finished yet? I think she’s still in the kitchen baking. 

Bubsy: She finished yesterday, sissy. So sissy, have you caught the fever?

Sissy: Oh yes, the Mavs and Stars fever is spreading quick. We’re taking one of those trophies, bro. Whether it’s the NBA championship or the Stanley Cup…one of those trophies is coming home to Big D. I can feel it!!!

Bubsy: I hope you are right. I don’t think you are right, but one can hope. I appreciate your hopefulness. 😊 Let’s wrap this up and go spend time napping with mom on this rainy gloomy Mom’s day. Below are the pics of the week, including teacher appreciation pics and our Mother’s Day pic. Sissy looked so thrilled in the Mom’s day pic…NOT. 😉

Kinda Confused

Bubsy: Well consider us confused today. Do we look confused? I think we do. 

Sissy: Yeah, we look confused. 

Bubsy: Obviously today is Cinco de Mayo….Happy Cinco de Mayo to everyone that finds this day to be noteworthy. 🌮🪅 But a little bit more noteworthy in these parts is the Dallas Stars game 7. Since we were confused on what to wear to represent in our pic today we combined the two. Dallas Stars shirts with taco and chips bandanas. 👍 

Sissy: So the Mavs got thru to round 2 of the NBA playoffs, now we have to get the Stars thru this game 7. Oh my, I’m thinking the parents are going to be loud tonight. Maybe I need to find my earplugs. 

Bubsy: Mom will probably go to bed early, before the game is over. So dad might have to keep it down a bit for the final period of play. 

Sissy: Mom went to bed early last night too. 

Bubsy: Jalapeño juice and salsa on her dinner did her in early last night. Dad ordered her meal without those things but when he arrived home he had to quickly remove the jalapeños and salsa. Before she got sick to her stomach…she enjoyed the meal. 🤪 What else is going on in our little world, sissy?

Sissy: Mom has been going crazy figuring out a Mother’s Day art project for her little humans she teaches. 

Bubsy: Yep, she has quite the week planned for those little humans. An entire week of learning about flowers. You should see our dining room table. It’s got quite a few potted plants and bouquets in vases. 

Sissy: The real test is whether or not she can keep those flowers all alive for the entire week. 😉

Bubsy: I don’t think she’s too concerned about that. She has decent luck with flowers. 💐 

Sissy: Let’s wrap this up so we can go get a long power nap in before the hockey game starts. 🏒 

Bubsy: Hope everyone has a great week. And remember to stop and smell the roses when you can. 🌹
