Ear Sniffing and Wubbies

 

Hi Everyone! It is me, the cute one here with another story to tell. See my new shirt? The back has a word on it, I don't know if you can see what that word is. So, I will tell you, it says BOSS. If you aren't jealous, you should be!

I think Eddie might be jealous. It is hard to tell. Just like our Dad after his surgery when he developed an abcess, Eddie has developed an ear infection. He lays around just as much as our Dad! He says he doesn't feel so good. Mom has been cleaning his ear and then putting medicine in it with this long tube thing. Eddie doesn't like it, but says it does make his ear feel better.

In case you are wondering how Mom knew Eddie's ear was going bad ...... she sniffed it. Yes, you heard me, she lifted his right ear and sniffed, then she lifted his left ear and sniffed. I suppose we could call her an equal opportunity sniffer!! I made a joke!

She told Eddie that his ear stunk and then she made a face. She sniffs our ears on a regular basis. Toni's ears are never smelly and neither are mine. Maybe it has something to do with our ears being open, while Eddies are closed. His ears are long and floppy and cover his ear holes. I think that is what you call them. Just a theory. I just learned this word.

But I was really writing to tell you about my wubbies. I am the only one of us dogs that enjoys playing with wubbies and balls. Wubbies are my favorite. I already told you what happened to my squirrel. Mom fixed it and then she washed it. Sometimes Mom will gather up all my wubbies and put them in that machine she calls a washer.

She likes to wash things, including us! Our baths have been delayed until Eddie's ear gets better. Toni hopes it will never get better, she is not fond of bathing. One time she tried to bite Mom! She didn't, though. She just growled and snapped at her. Then they had a talk and Mom reminded Toni that she would bite her back.

After the wubbies run through what Mom calls a cycle, she hangs them outside. She says the sun will help sanitize them. I don't know about that, but all the old smells are gone when I get them back. I am not sure how I feel about that.


These are a few of my favorite things. Mom told me I was quoting song lyrics. I have no idea what she is talking about. My most favorite wubbie is my monkey. He is bigger that me. This is the wubbie that Eddie gave to me when I first came to live with them. While Cujo and Toni were shunning me for being so tiny and cute and stealing Mom's heart, Eddie was kind and gave me this monkey to take in my kennel at night so I wouldn't be lonely.

The other big one is supposed to be a bear. I sort of messed his face up when I sunk my teeth in to shake him as hard as I could. The other one on the couch is a dog that looks like Eddie and then there is that duck, my newest one. He still has a squeaker in him.

Don't you worry, I will remove it in due time! That is why I opened the squirrel. I just had to get that squeaker out! Then one thing lead to another and soon I had all of his guts on the floor. Wubbies are not real, they don't have blood, so their guts are just stuffing.

I hope you have enjoyed my post and learned something new about me. Until next time, this is Mr. BoJangles, signing off.

    I'm glad to hear from you, Bo (is it all right if I call you Bo?)! My dog Gabe likes the squeaky toys too, but so far he's never taken any of them out of the toy. He just tends to run back and forth through the house with his toys when he gets excited.

    I love your Wubbies and I hope Eddie's ear is soon better. Your mum is right to wash the Wubbies regularly, they could hold germs that might make you sick.

      Eddie has taken to hiding on Dad's lap so Mom won't clean his ear. My Mom washed EVERYTHING! Our beds and blankets, too.

  Let's see if I did this right! Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures. Only one way to find out .... This is where it all started. On a rainy day in October, 2021. The first view of the rest of our lives. Here he is, the love of my life pondering this property he had proclaimed to be over our budget.  Here is the front view. The drizzling rain makes the house look like it needs a good power wash. Not to worry, we have one. While I am not a big fan of the screen door entry, this can be changed. This is the view that convinced HeWho proclaimed this property to be over the budget I had set to make an offer that very day. You can't see it from this picture, but a trout stream with rushing water hides down below. I will eventually get a good shot when I finally start to make some steps down to the water. We are old and do not want to fall and suffer any broken bones! The area behind the stream is never to be developed. This existing tiny shed will become my sewing room. I ...

  While awaiting the newest stove delivery I have been working in my She Shed, but the last several days have been overcast, damp and chilly. This has kept me inside. I tired quickly of Netflix and TV in general. Idle hands make me anxious, so I employed the help of HeWho sits and got down all the boxes of photos to sort. I have been saying I would get to them one day when I had nothing to do ..... Strolling down memory lane with each stack. I kept stopping to text pictures to my kids and laughing with them. Then I hit a stack that made me profoundly sad and happy all at the same time. It was pictures with my sister on a cruise with her friend that became mine, too. We had so much fun despite me being homesick. Here we are departing. The winds were high! This is my sister. My big sister, always ready to take care of me. My only sibling. This is Gloria, partner in crime to my sister's antics when I wasn't around. Three three of us indulged in a rum drink called "the Love Co...

Final Chapter!

  So, you may recall that the delivery did not happen on Tuesday, but was supposedly changed to Thursday. I was skeptical. I was right to be skeptical. HeWho patiently waits on hold, was told that the stove had yet to arrive from Atlanta. They were unaware that he had been notified by text that the stove had arrived in Murphy the day before ad was ready for pick up. When he confronted the store manager with this bit of information, the excuses began once again. The delivery truck was already out for the day and nothing could be added. The stove did not arrive before 6am and therefore could not be added to the day's deliveries. Judge Judy is apt to tell a witness that if you tell the truth, you don't have a need to remember what you said earlier. Finally, HeWho has had enough! He told the liar on the other end of the phone to cancel the order and refund our credit card. I was listening and can tell you I have never heard such relief in a man's voice as the liar's had. He...
