This, that and whatevers 10/28/14

Hi pals, Mei-Ling here...

We still have not gotten our courtyard or retaining wall done.  Yup, it's been over two months and the work isn't completed and some of the so called "completed" work has to be ripped out and re-done.  I think momma better plan on cooking a big turkey for Thanksgiving because it doesn't look like these workers are ever going to be gone.

 Here is a photo of the courtyard walkway where some worker walked in the wet cement...

That same worker didn't bother to make sure the concrete was all the way to the form...I think he got fired because now they have to jackhammer out the set concrete and do it all over again.

Now on to the more important thing, ME!  I am four months old and looking very, very pretty, even if I do say so myself. 

Here I am in my new coat with flowers on the hoodie.  It also has a pretty bow on it.

Momma says I'm going to need a coat because it is starting to get colder now...

Momma has been letting my hair grow so she can put it in a top knot.  She put a ribbon in it but it is still too short so I've been walking around with hair hanging in my eyes.  Not being able to see well hasn't stopped me from taking stuffies and food away from Puffy - BOL, BOL.

I'm being very good about letting momma comb me but that might change when my double coat come in when I get to be about 6 months old because that's when all the tangles really start to be a problem.

My furbrother Puffy and I get along real well and I love to play with him although he doesn't like to play as much as I do.  I also love, love, love, LOVE  to yap at him - BOL, BOL.  Daddy and momma are constantly telling me to "STOP" but I have a lot to say and I'm not going to be silenced. 

 "Um, Mei-Ling, I was playing with that."  "Too bad Puffy, if you want it back you're going to have to wrestle me for it."

 "The stuffie is MINE! Get off of me Mei-Ling!"

"Nope, not going to happen Puffy.  Momma said you have to share the stuffies." 

 "Mei-Ling, I don't mind sharing, but you can't just take the stuffie I'm playing with away from me.  That's rude!"

 "But Puffy, it's the only way I can get you to play with me."

 "Mei-Ling, I'm an old pup, my back hurts and just do not have your youthful energy.  Why don't you just lie down next to me and we can have a nice long nap?"

"How about I give you a really nice back rub instead?"

 "Does your back feel better now?"  "Yes it does Mei-Ling! Thank you, but I'm still ready for a nap."

 "You didn't really think I was going to continue to play with her did you?  She wears me out!"

"It's going to be a long time before I give him another back rub!"
