Shopping for Trap Rock

Dad took us shopping for trap rock at Tilcon.   There is a huge scale underneath our truck that weighs us without a load.   It weighs us again when we leave and they know how much we loaded.  

 This map says that the processed stone is up the hill and swing to the right, dad.  

 Wow - that is one big machine!

 He's going to load the processed stone into our truck. 

 Can you feel the truck sinking under all of the stone weight, Mackie?

 Dad is paying and the lady is giving him cookies for us!  Way cool!

 We have a full load and we're on our way back home.

Look what the masons did with the trap rock.  We have a new front porch and the sidewalk is coming along nicely!

Window wells~

We're doing our bestest to keep our peeps focused on this project so they can finish before the snow flies!   We need to plant grass seed quickly!

Love ya lots♥

Flower Friday

We don't have many flowers blooming in our yard but we did find the pink Hydrangea still blooming~

 A colorful  autumn branch hanging over the pond~

 An autumn leaf alongside my nose~

So mom decided to bring the camera along on our morning walkie.

 We found pretty grasses!

 And a flamingo~

 Their lamp post is all decorated for October~

 We found one lone Petunia~

 And a happy pumpkin flag☺

 And some yellow Hot Poker flowers~

 And a scary giant Halloween spider!

 Happy Friday, everybuddy!

Love ya lots♥

I Win - I Win

I am officially 7 months old and I'm officially taller than Molly is!   When I was 6 months old, I was 24" to the withers and at 7 months old, I'm 26" to the withers!  Mom says that I'm sprouting like a green bean!  
Molly at 4.5 years old is only 25" to the withers so I win!

At 6 months old, I weighed 46.5 pounds and today, I weigh 54.5 pounds.    Molly has me beat here by 3 pounds but not for long!

I can feel her eyes glaring at me from behind because I have my tongue on her tennis ball☺

Love ya lots♥

Molly is a Bad AireGirl

Molly has pretty much always had too much energy when she's in the car.   She races back and forth in the back seat trying to let cars know that it's not acceptable to pass our car.   In other words - she's a nut case!  She drove angel Mitch nuts and she started to make me nervous and freak me out and mom and dad said - NO!  Yes, they tried spraying her with water and they tried many different seat belts and nothing worked.
Voila. This works!

 She still has her moments~

 And she bites on the plywood partition A LOT! 

 Flip your ear, Mackie.

 But she does eventually sit and behave.

 And it works out great when we go to Lenny and Joe's because I have my side (which is the bigger side because I'm going to be bigger than she is in no time at all) and Molly has her side.  

 Share away, mom!

 We are ready and waiting!

We sometimes wonder if the partition will ever come down.

Love ya lots♥

Flower Friday and Smiles

We snagged a few pictures of blooms around our yard.
The Asters are blooming

 And the Butterfly Bush has lots of blooms - but no butterflies this time of year. 

 The Black-eyes Susans are still hanging in there and the Beauty Berry Bush is loaded with gorgeous purple berries. 

 The Geranium is still flowering away~

 Our only rose bush has another blossom~

The label said that this mum should be purple.   OOPS!

 Happy World Smile Day☺

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all in Hurricane Matthew's path.   Gram had many friends in Vero Beach and we have our paws and fingers tightly crossed for all of them♥

Love ya lots♥

Putter

Angel Maggie and mom and dad met Putter when we first started blogging almost 10 years ago.   This is Maggie and Putter's very first meeting.    The peeps got to know each other and Maggie and Putter went for a walk around our neighborhood.   They became goodest and bestest friends♥

It wasn't long after we got Mitch that the 3 of them hiked Sleeping Giant together.  That's a very young Mitchie giving Putter a kiss♥

 And Asta came to visit Maggie and Mitch and Putter was there too~

 And Miss Kate came to visit me when I, Molly, was just a puppy☺

 Putter loved tennis balls just like I do♥

 And there was the week that mom flew to Seattle, and she stayed at Putter's house for a couple of nights and took walks with Putter every single day and Putter showed her the sites.   Mom had so much fun~

 And our goodest and bestest friend has her very own book and she signed a copy of it just for us~

 We have known Putter and her family for almost 10 years.  Putter was the sweetest AireGirl ever.   She was spirited and she got herself in lots of jams along the years and mom swears she had nine lives and she was fun and she was sweet and she was so loved♥

We can't even begin to imagine life without Putter in it.    Our hearts are breaking for Miss Kate and Mr Ted and Putter's cutest ever twinsie boys, who just turned 9 years old.

Godspeed, Putter♥   You and your goodest and bestest friend, Maggie, and Mitch are  together again and running and playing at Rainbow Bridge♥

Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean we'll miss you until we meet again♥

Love ya lots♥

Welcome

Angel Maggie has been on our sidebar welcoming all of you to our blog since we started blogging back in 2006.     This is dad's inside workshop door and anytime anyone came through the outside door, Maggie would poke her head out to see who it was.  Yes, she was know as Miss Nosy!

And then Mitch came along, and mom wanted him to be a part of the welcoming committee too.   Mom tried for months to get both Mitch and Maggie to poke their heads out the door at the same time and it never happened.  So mom commissioned Miss Victoria to paint what mom envisioned and wanted to happen. 

 And then I appeared on the scene and mom wanted me to be a welcoming member too.   Victoria has moved away and mom has gotten better with photo playing~

 And now Mackie is on the scene and he needs to be as welcoming as we all are, so voila!  But Mackie is still a puppy and this scene is going to change and right now, we are thinking that Mackie might very well be taller than Mitch is.   Time will tell......

And we are thinking that many of you have not seen the last picture on our sidebar of Maggie thanking you all for stopping by.  We all know that when your blog is brand new, there is nothing on your sidebar and you have to build as the years go by.
So thank you from angel Maggie and all of us, even though our furryAireButts are not included - for stopping by - now and forever☺

Love ya lots♥
Molly and Mackie
