We’re Ready

Bubsy: It’s been a day already! Whew! How are you feeling, sissy?

Sissy: I’ve kept mom busy tending to me. But I think I’m feeling better. 

Bubsy: The parents were running late for church this morning. They got in mom’s car started to go down the road when they realized one tire was flat. They came home, changed vehicles then left again for church. 

Sissy: Just a few minutes after they got home from church early this afternoon….I….🤮….it wasn’t a pretty sight. But my momma took great care of me. Then she started to look for a place that was open to get the tire issue solved. Mom’s car needed new brakes a few weeks ago now a tire issue. Mercy me! 

Bubsy: I think it’s to be expected at times that her car needs some extra maintenance at times since she goes back and forth to work everyday. In some ways the day has been going by fast. Furthermore, can you believe what tomorrow is sissy? 

Sissy: I’m not sure? Tell me.

Bubsy: It’s July! Time to party a lot this month. 🎉 

Sissy: We already partied some last night. We saw fireworks lighting up the night sky. 🎆 

Bubsy: Get ready for more come Thursday. 

Sissy: I’m ready. I like fireworks. But I also really like getting nosey about all the neighbors. 

Bubsy: Oh geez, yes….I know how you are. Sissy is so nosey! Mom was holding her last night as we sat in the front yard watching fireworks. Many neighbors were sitting nearby. And little sissy was craning her neck at times to be nosey about the neighbors. Mom kept telling her to stop being embarrassing. 😳 

Sissy: I was not being embarrassing. I was just making sure people were doing what they were supposed to be doing. And I didn’t appreciate too much laughter and nonsense.

Bubsy: Well I’m definitely ready for more fireworks on Thursday. I watched the whole entire show last night…I was not craning my neck to see what the neighbors were doing. And now, let’s wrap this up. Hope everyone out there that’s reading this enjoys all the festivities of the 4th! And allow me to be the first to say…Happy Birthday America! And happy 4th to everyone reading this! 🎆 

Jealous Much?

Bubsy: Whew, we are running slightly late with our post today.

Sissy: Blame mom! 

Bubsy: Mom just got a little busy preparing her lesson plans and preparing her curriculum items for tomorrow.

Sissy: She was busy building houses. 

Bubsy: Yep, sissy is right. She’s doing a unit on the three little pigs and she made houses to represent each pig’s house. 

Sissy: The houses she made certainly would not withstand the hurricane winds we had this week. 🌬️ 

Bubsy: The hurricane that was aimed at Texas did not end up being too difficult to deal with. Three days of very strong winds but at least we didn’t need sandbags for the rain. 

Sissy: But that humidity that came with the hurricane was ridiculous. My hair was a mess. And mom was using dryer sheets to tame it.

Bubsy: At least you smelled like fresh linen most of the week.😆 Now let’s talk about something else. You! So sissy, are you jealous much? 

Sissy: Me? Jealous? Nope, it’s not my style.

Bubsy: Mercy me, your nose is going to grow like Pinocchio’s. 👃 

Sissy: No clue what you are talking about or who Pinocchio is?

Bubsy: So there I was the other night on momma’s lap in our big chair. I was soaking in all the momma love. I was kissing her, she was kissing and hugging me. 

Sissy: It was disgusting!🤢 

Bubsy: Well next thing I knew. Sissy jumped off the couch and charged at the big chair where mom and I were sitting. She then started barking in an angry way. When mom got after her she turned her little sassy booty to mom then sashayed off in the opposite direction. She was so jealous it was unbelievable! Mom reprimanded her after she finished her sassy walk off. Trouble finds you, sissy….trouble finds you. 

Sissy: I had seen enough, it was time to break up the love fest. 🙄

Bubsy: Whatever, sissy. Moving on, since our Sunday has featured projects being done around here, I’m now getting kind of sleepy and those Olympic trials are on late here tonight. No clue how mom is going to watch much of the track and field and get to bed on time. 

Sissy: A nap for mom and us sounds good to me. 

Bubsy: As I mentioned before it’s been a busy day of projects for mom. Today in our pic below we were trying to help give mom inspiration for one of her lessons next month involving a fishing exercise. As you can see, sissy has me pinned down probably trying to steal the fishing pole between my paws. She’s a bit of a troublemaker . 😉🎣 Hoping everyone out there enjoys their week. 

The Stash

Bubsy: Hello, dear little sissy. Let’s start off saying…Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and dog dads. We were sure to get our dad something special. Which reminds me…sissy, you still need to pay your part of dad’s Father’s Day gift.

Sissy: Oh geez, did I forget to pay up. That’s so unlike me…😉

Bubsy: Our dad has been enjoying himself today. At our parent’s church breakfast tacos were served. After church mom went to get him a jumbo cinnamon roll from the store. He followed the tacos and cinnamon roll up with banana pudding leftover from yesterday.

Sissy: Last I checked he was munching on corn nuts. He’s having a snack attack type of day.

Bubsy: I’m not sure he’s stopped eating since he woke up. 😉😆 So what else should we talk about? 

Sissy: Well we were lined up and questioned on Wednesday night after mom discovered a little something in the bedroom. One of us was clearly guilty.  

Bubsy: Yep, but no one really got in trouble. Although, trouble finds you frequently.

Sissy: Excuse me, I do not get in trouble much at all. I am sassy but mom puts up with my sassy ways and I never really do anything to get in trouble.

Bubsy: Well then maybe…trouble finds me? 😆 I am a little stinker at times. I steal socks. I steal them for the thrill of the chase. 🧦 

Sissy: So anyway, mom found a stash of toys behind someone’s bed against the curtain. 

Bubsy: Hmm, who would keep a stash of toys behind his or her bed? 🤔 

Sissy: Definitely not me. You are the only one that takes toys to bed at night. But mom never realized you were stashing multiple toys behind your bed, until she found your stash.  

Bubsy: I’m a sneaky one. 😉 Best part of this story is now my stash has been moved but just moved not taken out of the bedroom. Mom is letting me keep my stash of toys. Score! 

Sissy: The only change is, mom has made the stash of toys more obvious. You are now greeted by Bubsy’s stash of toys when you turn right in the bedroom. 

Bubsy: My toys being so obvious is exactly how things should be. Speaking of obvious….look at the obvious sign of summertime. In the pic below we are outside in the sun with our summer palm tree toy and BOTH of us are wearing our sunnies. Way to go sissy. Welcome to my world of sunnies wearing. 🕶️ 

Sissy: My turn to wrap this post up by wishing everyone a good official start to summer late in the new week. 😎 

So Nuts

Bubsy: And just like that, it’s June! 

Sissy: Hello June! 

Bubsy: So what should we talk about, sissy? Let’s talk about mom’s Friday. 

Sissy: What a sh**…(interrupted by Bubsy)

Bubsy: Sissy, stop….don’t say it…don’t use such foul language at your tender age. My tender ears can’t take it. 

Sissy: It was a 💩 day for her and everyone else at her school. 

Bubsy: So here’s what happened…the plumbing failed. 

Sissy: The plumbing failed big time. 

Bubsy: BIG TIME. It all happened about lunchtime. Not a single bathroom was working. By the time our mom took her lunch break there was water overflowing into the lobby area. 

Sissy: They had only one option…to dismiss early. They sent out a notice to parents to come pick up by a certain time. 

Bubsy: The early dismissal did not really pertain to our mom, since she gets off early everyday, since she arrives so super early in the mornings. 

Sissy: Mom described how chaotic it was releasing school early and having a flood of parents arriving, while kids were being moved around away from the water…NUTS! 

Bubsy: So we’ve had a rather quiet low key weekend. But of course a weekend filled with watching sports. The French Open finals were the last two days. Well it’s almost that time of day…I need to go relax and take a short snooze next to my momma.

Sissy: He’s such a momma’s boy.

Bubsy: Yep, and proud of it. 😉 Anyway, everyone enjoy your week! Below is our “Dino-mite” look in our dino bandanas. Pardon sissy’s ticked off look. She was in a mood.

Sissy: I was in a mood because mom took way tooooo much time doing my hair.🙄

Bubsy: Gotta love sissy’s new “fountain top” look. Now I can call her fountainhead. 😆

Sissy: 😠…Bye for now, people reading this. 

Got Power?

Bubsy: Another strange week for us. Can you believe how crazy things have been, sissy?

Sissy: No. It’s rather unbelievable. I’m so tired of these crazy weather beeps and bells and sirens that go off, I could scream. 

Bubsy: Well sissy, since you are the resident power grid correspondent let me ask you?…how is the power grid?

Sissy: Epic failure! 😣 That power grid failed so badly the issues in Texas made national news. Three whole days with no power. I almost lost it. If I had to be brushed by flashlight or candlelight one more morning…let’s just say someone was going to hear from me. 😡 

Bubsy: We are some of the lucky ones. Some people are still without power. Grandpa borrowed a generator and brought it over so that made it manageable. We had power and the fans worked in the main living areas. Everything in the bedrooms and bathrooms were flashlight/candlelight zones. But boy oh boy, were we trying to conserve as much power as possible to keep the generator going. 

Sissy: And going to a hotel was not an option. Because there’s not a room available in the city still. Hotels have massive generators so people flocked to hotels. Just like they did during the worst winter storm in the history of Texas a couple years ago. That was the first time the power grid failed. Which caused a massive 113 car pileup on the biggest freeway connecting Dallas and Fort Worth. 

Bubsy: Geez, sissy how did you know all that. You weren’t even born yet. 😉

Sissy: I study, I know my Texas state history. 🤠 

Bubsy: But never fear, they brought in extra generators for the arena so there’s a smaller chance of a national embarrassment of the lights going out during a championship hockey or a championship basketball game. 

Sissy: I still strongly suggest anyone takes a flashlight with them when they head out to a game. 

Bubsy: Let’s wrap this up and go get in a quick nap before the next round of storms hits us in a couple hours. 

Sissy: Good idea. It might get too loud for us to sleep later tonight. ⛈️ 

Bubsy: Hope everyone has a great week! Our pic below appropriately explains the week in Texas….if you can even see us. 😉😆 We got all our necessities around us. Those lanterns are the best ever….or at least they are in our mom’s opinion.🏮
