Ladybug remembers her first bath at LaundroMutt (May 2024)

Fen was a pro at going to LaundroMutt and getting a bath. After Mom finished bathing him they did a photo shoot.

He made a great model with those blue eyes.

And his face was very expressive.

He was pretty much always happy, even after a bath.

Mom loved him so much.

Alright I wasn't thrilled with the bath. They still scare me and my face pretty much always looks the same. Mom usually let's the groomers there bath me.

I do like walking though and I prefer to walk on a leash.

Fen was always having to wait on us to catch up.

He knew the rules you can only get so far ahead, you have to come to Mom when called and if she says leave it you gotta leave it. Even if it is a yummy smelling slice of pizza.

Fen says the leave it was the hardest one to obey especially the day after the Ocean Spring Mardi Gra parade when he was walking with Mom and Mrs Tammy. There was a yummy slice of pizza just laying on the sidewalk so he scooped it up but before he could eat it Mom said leave it in her mean voice. So to Mrs Tammy's surprise he dropped it back on the sidewalk where he found it.

Mom said that was an extra good dog and he got extra treats when he got home.

I want to be a good dog like Fenris.

But there are a lot of confusing rules. Like why do you have to leave a yummy slice of pizza on the sidewalk and why can't you drink out of the pond?

I am afraid of breaking a rule so I want Mom to walk me on leash so she can keep me out of trouble. I don't like her mean voice. ~Ladybug, reporting for ATCAD

Remembering Fenris (May 2024) with Ladybug & G

I still lived at Grandpa's house. Mom always tried to get me out and take me for a walk when she was up there and G would help her.

He is a really sweet boy.

I didn't know it but my life was fixing to change.

See they got me out of my pen and then.

I got to go over to Fen's house and go for a walk with him.

He was always nice to me.

I wasn't always nice to him, I wanted to be alpha.

Fenris was so well behaved that he got to walk off leash. Mom says not many dogs can be walked off leash and even fewer Great Pyrenees (even if they are mixes).

Mom kept a harness on him because in his later years he was wobbly sometimes. He usually stayed close to Mom and she could hold him up with the harness.

I loved it here right from the start and Fenris helped me learn the rules. Boy there are a lot of rules for dogs that get to go in the house.

Mom said I was a silly girl. See up at Grandpa's house it was hard to walk me because I would slip my leash and go running. But the minute I got to her house I started walking good on a leash.

Now even G can walk me.

Missing our Angels (May 2024)

This was Chimera's spot. As long as she lived she was the only cat that got up on the roof of the pump house. I suspect it was because she was the only one light enough to walk out on the overhanging limb and jump down from it.

Slippy got up there the other day. It was his first time up there and you could tell he was nervous but he did it. I am pretty sure he had watched Chimera in the past but just wasn't brave enough to do it himself yet.
