8/Aug/23 looking left and right

 

Good morning world.

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

This past Summer, it's been hot for me.

I like spending the day upstairs in the cold room.

I've got some sort of eye infection, and they have been putting drops in my eyes.

Of course, I close my eyes so that they can't put the drops in my eyes.

But the force my eyes open.

Yesterday, the Big Guy put up the baby gate for the front deck and took off my collar.

Then, he went and got the garden hose.

My fur under my chin is full of slobbers and is no longer all white.

They decided to fix that.

I wasn't happy about that.

I tried to hide in the corner of the deck.

Didn't help.

The garden hose can reach all the way around to the other side of the house.

I really had no where to hide.

But they only sprayed under my chin and across my chest and of course, my front paws as i was standing in the water.

When I shook, there was no water to shake off.

I wasn't very pleased with them.

I'm all dry now.

Still don't like the garden hose.

7/Aug/23 thunder showers

 

Good morning world.

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

We could only sit out for a little bit yesterday.

The sun would come out.

Then the rain would roll in.

We would wait for the outside stuff to dry.

We would sit out again.

Rain would roll in.

We did that several times yesterday.

The Big Guy also did up some spaghetti and meatballs.

He also does it so that he puts the spaghetti into the sauce to cook.

Of course, this means no strainer and no other pot gets dirty.

It also means, I don't get to have any spaghetti.

Tonya does it so that I get a small helping of cooled off noodles in my food dish.

The Big Guy adds extra water to compensate for the spaghetti being cooked in the sauce.

So, if you would look at his spaghetti when the noodles haven't absorbed the water.

You would think, his sauce is very thin.

But once the spaghetti is all cooked, his sauce is very thick.

Doesn't even have to add tomato paste to thicken.

He also made some berry compote.

There isn't anything in there that I can't have.

Hopefully, Tonya will be able to share some of that with me.

6/Aug/23 dreaming of being young

 

Good morning world.

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

I am no longer the jumpie, bitie, puppy that I was once upon a time.

Now, I'm older and slower.

If we are sitting on the front deck, I will bark at people if they are walking their dog.

Before, I would run down the front steps and leap across the last 5 or 6 steps.

Now, I use each and every stair as I'm going down.

Before, I would chew on the deck rails and the siding of the house.

I was teething and nothing would stop me from chewing.

I also haven't been dropping as much fur as I did previously.

Yup, I'm a senior in dog years.

Although no grey yet.

Same with the Big Guy.

If you look at his beard, he got grey there.

But on top of his head, only a little bit.

Then again, he keeps his hair cut, high and tight, so you hardly get to see him with any hair.

Tonya got a dye job a few months ago.

Of course her hair grows and you can see the underlying grey.

She went to the hair stylist and they cut most of the dye out.

Next hair cut and she will be all grey once again.

5/Aug/23 laying in the way

 

Good morning world.

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

As you can see, I'm laying very close to Tonya's chair.

It is electronic.

I don't think it cares if I lay down and put my head under it or not.

When I hear the mechanism moving, I make sure to move myself.

Yesterday the Big Guy made this Chicken Biscuit Caserole.

Yup, onions are in it.

Always with the onions.

Oh, and some garlic as well.

He wanted to make some chicken broth with the bones.

So he put it on the boil and then watched a TV program.

It was almost boiled down to nothing by the time he remembered.

Then, the dirty bastard threw the bones and what not, out to the birds.

Yes, they had the bones and the skin.

I could of at least had the skin.

Tonya went out with Mylynne to a fashion show.

It was for charity.

They raise money for a woman's shelter.

The Big Guy seen an advertisement for a new F-150 Lightening.

This is a battery electric vehicle.

It was expensive.

$118.000.00

His current house didn't cost that much.

So, he can't get it.

Otherwise, he couldn't afford my kibble.
