Checking on Dad at Crumps

Remember this barn that dad and his guys dismantled last year about this same time?
This was the barn before it was dismantled! It's very close to the road!The barn is being rebuilt and that has been mom and dad's job this summer - scrubbing timbers and repairing them and making new ones and it's Mitch and my job to supervise and we're doing one heck of a job and getting paid handsomely, we might add!

Today mom and Mitch took a ride over to the Crump property for a look! This is where the barn used to be! Now it's green grass and a leftover pile of rocks!
And its new home is wayyyyyyyyyy over there!
The mason, Vincent, is all finished with the foundation and now it's time for the work crew to start building the first floor. Dad calls it the deck!
The barn will be raised on this deck but not until NEXT July - a whole year from now! We have a lot of work ahead of us before the raising happens!
I need to leave pee-mail! Yes, I know - I'm peeing like a girl!
There's my dad and all of my uncles that I get to hang out with at home in my workshop!
Hi guys! It's me, Mitchy!
Can I stay for coffee break?!
I guess not! Mom says it's time to go home and cut some grass!
See you all another day, guys!

This is the front of my house!
We'll do another barn project update soon!

So until next time................

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

  1. Nice peeing. I pee like that sometimes too. It helps with watering the grass.

    I can't wait to see the new barn. Nice place to romp around.

  2. Hi Guys
    Thank dog you are there to snoopervise - these two leggeds cannot be left to undertake such a task on their own!

    We've been reading some of the post from where they first got you - what a cutie you were (and still are!!)

  7. Mitch,

    They are raising the minimum wage. How much ice cream/hour does that work out to be? You and Maggie do not want to be underpaid for all your supervision work. That barn looks like it will be in a very pretty place.

    Your friend,

  11. The barn will be nicer and safer away from the road. Your house looks so shady and cool. Lucky dogs!

  12. We can't imagine how they would get along without your help. Instead of a year from now, why it might take twice as long to raise that barn.

    As for peeing -- I do it that way too a lot of the time. Except I lift my rear leg just a bit.

    JH, my doofus brother, however, lifts his leg and pees in a horizontal stream -- so if we're out together and I don't move quickly enough (or if one of the leggeds doesn't anticipate for me) -- then you can guess what happens!!

    Great job, Mitchy!! We hope you get wally melon, ice cream, and all the other goodies you enjoy!!

  13. Are the timbers of that old barn made of DOG wood? (a little scottish humor here.... ha.)

    Mitch, you pee like I do! My Paw tells me to hike my leg like a real man...but sometimes it just takes too much effort.

    Fiona and Maw love your house! Very cute, they say!

  14. That is A LOT of work to rebuild that barn and a lot of dogervising to be done. Are you rebuilding it on your land or somewhere else? Hmmm I don't know about peeing like a girl - that is the only way I have ever done it. Mom was a bit worried and asked the vet and she said some dogs don't "lift a leg" Mom is rather glad I don't, I would be peeing on my fur all the time if I did :) But where was Maggie - how come she wasn't dogervising too?

  18. That looks like a lot of work for the humans and a lot of work for you to keep after them. Don't let them have too many coffee breaks. I hope you got big treats.

  29. Hi, Maggie and Mitch -

    That's interesting that you pee like a girl, Mitch. I (Hershey) am starting to pee like a boy - but it's fun to keep Mama on her toes.

    Your grass looks as green as our grass. Did you get a lot of rain and thunderstorms the other night?!?

    The project looks like it is progressing nicely.

    Love -

    Hershey and Kaci
