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
Nice peeing. I pee like that sometimes too. It helps with watering the grass.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the new barn. Nice place to romp around.

Hi Guys
ReplyDeleteThank dog you are there to snoopervise - these two leggeds cannot be left to undertake such a task on their own!
We just stopped by to say hello - we are rained out and back for a few days!
love and kisses
Martha & Bailey xxx
ps we always pee like girls!!!
Mitch,
ReplyDeleteI think you would be the perfect supervisor for that project!
Sometimes Mack peepees like a girl too!
All jobs need plenty of dog snoopervision - your Mom and Dad are so fortunate to have you and Maggie.
ReplyDeleteWe've been reading some of the post from where they first got you - what a cutie you were (and still are!!)
XOXO

Wow! We sure remember when you guys posted about the barn last year! We wish you guys luck in the project! We´re sure it´ll turn out REALLY nice!
BTW, that grass is GREEN! must be great to walk/run around!
Wags and licks,

Mitch,
ReplyDeleteThey 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,
Niamh
Good job on the girlie peemail, Mitch...I do that too...sometimes I get so into liftin' my leg to its highest point I fall over...so embarassing! Thanks for the good leggie wishes...it's a lot better than it was on Friday...dunno what I did...Lacie's been givin' me so many smoothies that I've even been bathin' in em...right now I smell like mango...no, not the RH, thank dog...the fruit!
ReplyDeleteThat barn moving is totally cool...so do ya get paid in steak or ice cream??? Or wally mellon???

hi m & m!
ReplyDeleteoh what a great post! we love seeing what you and your pawrents are up to everyday!
the barn will be so happy in its new home. thank you for sharing the journey with us!
The barn will be nicer and safer away from the road. Your house looks so shady and cool. Lucky dogs!
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
ReplyDeleteAs 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!!
Jake
Are the timbers of that old barn made of DOG wood? (a little scottish humor here.... ha.)
ReplyDeleteMitch, 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!

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?
ReplyDeleteGosh what a project. July is ages away. Sounds like your pinkies are going to be busy.
ReplyDeleteThe front of your house looks very nice Mitch.
Btw, did you guys bid on that kangaroo with the baby dale?

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.

Hi, Maggie and Mitch -
ReplyDeleteThat'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
Hi Mitch,
ReplyDeleteUmm.. I pee like a girl too and mom's not sure why.
Good job with the supervising!
