11/Sep/20 Tonya wants me to go outside for a pee

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Most of you will never know how hard it was raining this morning.

The wind kicked up.

Then the cloud burst happened.

The Big Guy had to close the bedroom window as it was raining hard enough, that it was raining inside the house.

That would mean, his work computer would have got wet.

Work computer and water, don't mix.

As the Big Guy is trying to look outside, he can't see if the garbage bags he put out, are still there or not.

Two of them should be as they were rather heavy.  But the cardboard one.  That one may have blown down the street.

The Big Guy can hear the garbage truck.  But because of how dark it is outside, he can't see it.  I mean, he can see the head lights and the running lights, but he can't really see the guys running around picking up the garbage and what not.

There is the second garbage truck.  

One was the blue bag truck, this one is the recycle truck.

Next week, it will just be the garbage truck.

The Big Guy had to get some bigger black garbage bags for this week.  There was some stuff in the yard that had to go in the garbage that was more than what the normally kitchen catcher garbage bag could hold.

10/Sep/20 it's hot laying in the sun

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Yesterday, Tonya and the Big Guy left without me.

They went to a place called "George's River".  They were going for Ice Cream.  Not that I would have had any.  Last time we did that...  oh man, I've come to find out, I'm not supposed to have ice cream.  It goes right though me and really upsets my bowels.  For several days, I had the trots.

But I love that stuff.

Anyways, they get to George's River and the corner store is closed.  It wasn't going to open for another 45 minutes.

They drove to Iona for Ice Cream.

The Big Guy doesn't mind going for those drives.  It gets him out of the house and they were able to talk about this and that.

When they got home, we sat out front, in the sun.

They had sun umbrellas that they put up.

I went to the side of the deck and started pawing at the ground to get to the colder ground.  I laid on the cold ground.  Of course Tonya wasn't too impressed, as she had to brush the dirt off my fur.

9/Sep/20 someone's a little excited that Halloween is coming up soon

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Each year, Tonya gets really worked up about the fact that Halloween is coming.

If it were up to her, she would have a lot more decorations outside with regards to Halloween.

But the Big Guy is just that...  a Big... Guy...  he doesn't move around quite as easily as he used to.

I'm sure she would hire someone to put the Halloween stuff outside, IF they would do a good job.

Talking of Halloween decorations, there is this projector that they could put up, inside the house, that would project scary Halloween stuff on their windows.  But it's way expensive.  So, not a lot of people would see it as they have moved Daily Light Savings time to after Halloween.

Then again, there is also talk of the kids getting dressed up and playing on their front yard and then people would drive up and give them candy.

But not everyone has a car and not every child wants to hang out in the front yard.

The first day of school was yesterday.

Of course that was in the news.  The kids have to wear a mask while in school.  I'm sure once there is a immunization shot, there will be a lot of people that will say it's not safe.  Or the side effects out weigh the fact that you will not die.

The Big Guy and Tonya get their Flu Shot every year.  They don't get sick from it.  Just like myself, I get my own shots every year.  They give me a treat and they pinch the skin on my neck and I've got the shot before I know what happened.

8/Sep/20 who is that knocking on the back door

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Yesterday, we got a surprise visit.

Floyd, Mylynne and Aurora came for a visit.

Aurora didn't come after me this time.  I laid down where I could see her.  I don't trust her that much.  Her little arms dart about quickly.  She also pulls at my fur.

Talking of fur.

I get what Tonya and the Big Guy call, ear rings.  It's clumped up fur that gets all tangled behind my ears.

They wanted to cut out my ear rings.

They have battery operated clippers to do just that.  It vibrates and obviously cuts my fur.

I don't trust it.

Then again, any human parent knows this from when they have taken their child, typically their male child to get their first hair cut.

When the Big Guy was younger, his father would cut his hair.

The Big Guy's father would warn him, "If you move, I will cut your fucking ear off".

You can bet the Big Guy, well, Little Guy, didn't move.

Myself, I had no inclination to have my ear rings cut out.  I moved a lot.  But damn it, the Big Guy, well, he's big and he's strong.  He held me in place while he cut out my ear rings.

I went to hide from him after that.

I didn't want the same hair cut that he did to his previous dog, Sebastian.
