20/Nov/18 this is where the Grinch put the Christmas Tree


Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

Yesterday it was rather cold outside.  Today, it's a lot warmer.  OK, it's not short and T-Shirt weather for the humans.  But it is a lot warmer.  This snow is mostly melted.  Since it's going to be raining, the snow isn't going to last all that long.

So a few years ago, Tonya got an upgrade to her cell phone.  Now the Big Guy is looking for the old cell phone and he can't find it.  It's in Tonya's filing cabinet that she has next to her computer.  If you could see the stuff that she's got in this filing cabinet.  It's kinda like her purse.  Just filled with a lot of brick a brack that she doesn't want to get rid of.

Then again, the Big Guy is also like this.  He has a lot of stuff that could be purged as well.  But do they get rid of it?  Nope.  Why?  Cause they may need it again some day.

Then again, I only have to worry about my toys.  Every so often, the toys go missing.  Do I think of them?  Nope, I'm a dog and only have limited memory of such things.

So far, there isn't a lot of snow in the forecast.  I don't mind the snow.  It's fun to be outside while the snow falls.  But it's also nice being inside with my humans as well.

Last night, Tonya had a tuna sandwich.  Of course I just kept bugging and bugging until she finally gave some to me.  But I find that she waits so long to give me some, that when she does, I nip her fingers when I am getting that piece of her sandwich.  Then she yells at me for nipping her fingers.  Man oh man, she yells a lot at me.  

I'm always so excited to see Tonya.  The Big Guy, yes, I get excited for him too. but he mostly ignores me.  So why try with him...  It's Tonya that gives me all the attention that I want.

19/Nov/18 so it's cold outside so I'd like to come in now


Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

I wear a fur coat all the time, but I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't like being homeless.  Right now, it's -7 C with a windchill of -10 C.  I'm sure I'd be comfortable for several hours, but in the end, I rather enjoy being inside with my humans.

The Big Guy should have been thinking of putting out the lazier lights before the ground freezes.  Once it's frozen, he will not be able to get the lasers installed.  That will upset Tonya.  Oh well it's supposed to rain quite hard today, so perhaps he will attend to that before the ground gets too hard to put the lasers stake into the ground.

First world problems...  they are real...

Without the laser lights, the house will only look partially decorated for Christmas.  Tonya's not going to be happy about that.  No Sir!  Not happy at all...

Unhappy Wife, unhappy life  The Big Guy better hope he can figure out something.

Talking of people that are unhappy.  Someone in Sydney Mines was decorating their yard.  They got these special blow ups.  Really unique.  They were only out for ONE day and that night, someone came and took them.  That guy is really upset and put a big rant on Facebook.  He's really upset.

Then again, it was a "thing" for the last few years, people would steal your laser lights.  They are easy to take, quickly unplug, lift out of the ground, and your gone.  Then next day, the people look outside and no lasers.  Only foot prints in the snow.  Since it isn't an overly expensive item, the police don't really investigate.

18/Nov/18 I'll just lay here, in the door, in the way


Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

As I am looking outside, I can see it's snowing.  Just a little bit.  But I suspect that's going to stop soon enough.

Yesterday the Big Guy went around the yard and cleaned up stuff that should have been done a while ago.  No worries, it got done.  He also put out the shovels.  He screwed some of the Christmas stuff to the front deck.  He's still got to get the other stuff out.  Plus the lights.  So far, just general clean up though.

Then, he also put the chains on the snow blower.  So that's done for another season.  He's ready for Winter now.  Not that he's encouraging it, but he's ready.

Tonya bought this small ceramic Christmas tree.  This was something that she remembers as a child.  Her grandmother would get her to put the little plastic lights into the tree.  Well she was able to get a new tree, but now she needs more of those little lights.  The Big Guy was looking on line and he can get them from someone.  He is still waiting for them to reply back.  Otherwise, he found them on Amazon for under $10.00.

The Big Guy has got to finish the three ship's crests he's working on and then he will be able to put those up for sale.  He's hoping that they will sell quickly.  Guess he will find out if they do or not.  He has got to go to the basement to get the shields ready.  Busy busy busy, that's him.

The Big Guy is cooking up bacon.  I can smell it (obviously).  But I can't have any.  It gives me the runs.  Having runny poop is no fun.  But bacon smells so wonderful.  How can something that smells so wonderful, be so bad for me?

17/Nov/18 I'll just wait for her at the bottom of the stairs


Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

So the Big Guy is making steak and eggs for breakfast.  Guess who is going to bug the shit out of Tonya for some of that breakfast.  

You guessed it, I will be bugging her.

But the Big Guy also loves to put onions in his steak.  So that means, likely, no steak for me.  I'm pretty sure he's doing that on purpose.

He has also put out some chicken for supper.  I wonder if I can get Tonya to give up some of her chicken?  I like chicken too.

So, everyone was really excited about the snow that we were supposed to get.  Well, it turns out, it was more rain than it was snow.  The Big Guy finally got his lawn mower, converted into a snow blower.  He tested it and it's working just fine.

The Big Guy has also found that he's down to 2 snow shovels.  There was one that Tonya bought for him.  Geesh, it was huge.  The Big Guy wasn't too unhappy when it broke.  He put it in the garbage last year and it was one of the first things that was taken.

Soon enough, they will be taking stuff down from the attic so that they can decorate the house for Christmas.  They are always worried about the tree.  I can understand why.  My power tail can clear a coffee table.  My tail also makes short work of low hanging decorations.
