Princess Days and Pink Flowers

Hi everyone! This is The Daily Bone, Princess Edition, and we're your delightful doggie reporters Baby and Rosie Spaniel. 

Today we're sharing some pictures of us on a typical day, plus all the pretty pink flowers in our yard. So without further ado:

We've also observed some majestic clouds and a beautiful sunset.

Now, about us: 

We do a lot of zooming around in the back yard.

We play with our toys in the house.

And do a lot of sleeping.

GW here. Those two so-called princesses also do a lot of play fighting, especially bitey-face. Here are some of the bloopers taken while attempting to get that one nice picture you see at the beginning of this post. Don't worry, they're not hurting each other. But if they get too carried away, they have to go into their crates for time out, or else I send them outside to do some zooming to run off their excess energy. 

After raising four kids, we're quite used to sibling rivalry! 

Pffzzzzt!

Mush-a-boom Explosion!

Good afternoon everyone. This is The Daily Bone, Princess Edition, and we're your hardworking investigative doggie reporters Baby and Rosie Spaniel. 

In our last post, we talked about the mush-a-booms growing in our back yard. Since then, the numbers of these funny things exploded! 

We can hardly walk anywhere without stepping on some. 

We did a search on The Daily Bone to see if our esteemed predecessor, Chester L. W. Spaniel ever encountered these things. We found this post in which he describes those mush-a-booms as a village of Smurfs:

smurf-city-and-other-news

We girls aren't too sure about that. We've never seen any Smurfs. We're more familiar with Minions. In fact, some of those mush-a-booms look kind of like Minions popping out of the ground. 

Hmmm. They forgot to wear their glasses.

Today, those mush-a-booms are looking rather shabby and raggedy. We wonder if there has been some evil force at work. 

What do you think, sister?

Curious indeed! 

Yipes! 

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you this fast-breaking news story!

We're live and on site in the house because a great big grumble storm rolled in. 

It poured a ton of rain from the sky. Then there were some loud grumbles. We pups weren't afraid at all, although we've heard that some of our doggie friends get very upset by this phenomenon. It soon passed.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled nap time. 

Mush-a-booms and Other Weird Things

 Hello everybody. This is The Daily Bone, Princess Edition, and we're your observant doggie reporters Baby and Rosie Spaniel. 

We have been exploring our back yard looking for new things that we pups have never seen before. The weather has turned warm and muggy. Our ghostwriter says this is perfect for mush-a-booms. 

Mush-a-what?!!! 

Here are some pictures of them:

GW went on to explain that these are a type of fungus that grows on the old tree roots from a big tree that got chopped down a few years before we pups arrived here. She also told us in no uncertain terms not to touch them just in case they were poisonous. Then she showed us some more of them—apparently there are many different kinds—that she called dead man's fingers.

Yipes! 

I guess we'll leave those alone! 

Moving on, GW showed us something she spied up in the sky as she was driving to the grocery store today. You see it? It's the big floaty thing that looks like a whale! It's called a blimp.

A few days ago while she was trimming some bushes in the back yard, she caught something called a dragon fly.

What??? Now we pups are completely confused! There are dragons flying around our yard? The world around us seems to have no end of weird and crazy things for us to learn about. 

I bet you know what we're going to do next …

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 

Well, that's how our puppy minds process all the new things we see!

Note from GW: yesterday I allowed the pups to come upstairs while I worked on my computer in my office. I thought I could trust them not to pick up and play with things that are not for doggies. Well, that was a fail!

It's a good thing they're cute! 

Rain, Finally!

Hello friends. This is The Daily Bone, Princess Edition, and we're your doggie reporters Baby and Rosie Spaniel. 

This picture was taken a few days ago in the midst of a long dry spell. Our ghostwriter was glad the weather was so dry because it meant we pups wouldn't be tracking so much dirt and grass clippings into the house. We're not sure about that since we still do our best to trample through the flower beds, and raid the compost pile even when it's dry out. Anyway, let's get on with our report. We have some really nice flowers blooming. 

Baby robins are everywhere. (This picture is blurry because it was taken through the screen on the front door.) Every time we doggies go out, several robin families go crazy and scold us to stay away from their babies. Unlike our esteemed predecessor Chester L. W. Spaniel, we girls haven't gotten into catching birdies … yet. 

We chase bunnies and squirrels, though!

As you've been probably been hearing on the TV news, there has been a lot of smoke from the forest fires in Canada rolling into WNY. We can smell it, and it makes the sun seem hazy. 

Most of it has cleared up now. And just in time, we got a rainy day!

Did we want to go out in the pouring rain? 

Um, that's a nope.

Let us back in the house!

We can look at the flowers indoors. And take a good long nap too! 

GW here: Rosie and Baby didn't want to go out in the rain, but they happily stuck their faces in the stream of water from the hose when I had to water the garden the past couple weeks during the dry spell. Go figure!
