NewHamstew pawt 2


I woke up to a bootiful New Hamstew Mowning (btw...I didn't see any Hamstews ..old ow new...vewy disappointing..I was hoping to tell them about Girl Girl and hew fwiendses)
so I did a happy Woach to stawt the day wif my cown cob





Daddi watched while he had his coffee

then a little excewcise to get the blood mooving





aftew that I thought I would just sit and contemplate my good fowtune to be hewe

Auntie Kawen came out so I wan to gweet hew...I'm always happy to see hew

the hoomans had bagels and cweam cheese and smoked salmon fow bweakfast.....Dot and I wewe vewy intewested ( I'm vewy lucky cause Mommi always shawes bweakfast wif me)
she took an extwa bagel to bwing to me cause I was still outside



I had a good post bweakfast wun, but then it stawted getting hot
it was time to go into Tamwowf..theiw little town..whewe they wewe going to have a Fouwf of July Pawade...I was all dwessed and checking out the flowews that matched my outfit, while I waited fow the hoomans to get weady
we pawked the caw, and walked past some pwetty gawdens , to ouw spot whewe we like to watch the pawade..we had to find shade
Thewe awe a lot of howsies awound hewe and this one was all dwessed up

then came this scaiwy guy, I'm kind of glad he didn't spot me..he doesn't look so happy
they had all sowts of silly things, like this "shewman tank"hehehehehe

I liked this baby Mooo cow a lot
I have no idea what this was supposed to be...small towns suwe awe diffewent than NYC
Daddi bwought me ove to say hi to this vewy cute little sheltie puppy, I'm sowwy you can't see him..he was the pwettiest in the whole pawade
we wewe happy to see that some hoomans still wead

then came a whole bunch of vewy noisy fiwe twucks..but I didn't even flinch

as long as I was next to Daddi, I felt pawfectly fine

this is a pictoowe of all the females hooman ow dog fwom the house...Mommi says I was the pwettiest, even though I wasn't weawing wed , white , and blue
we got back to the house and just hung awound fow a while..it got too hot at that point..so evewyone had napses


fiwst Daddi checked me fow ticks



aftew ouw napses, we stwolled awound, and stawted to get weady fow the BBQ

we wewe going to eat outside today

while we waited fow evewything to get weady, Mommi wead to me fwom the Dangewous Book fow Dogs..(that was hew favowite cownew fow sitting, cause thewe was always a bweeze)
Hambuwgews, Hot Dogs, Potato Salad, Baked Beans, Cole Slaw and that was just the beginnning...then thewe was cake!!!..I had some of evewything except cake, cause that was chocolate..but I had a cookie instead....I think Mommi and I awe bof going on a diet aftew this weekend...
I twied to convince hew that I don't need to, cause than I can join my fwiends in the substantial wiwes club, but she didn't buy my awgooment

anothew pawfect day comes to an end...to be con't.

I suwe hope all of you had as good a time ovew the last few days as I did
I missed evewyone!!!!!!!!!

It's a wental caw, and I stawted dwiving, but Daddi convinced me that I should navigate instead
the twip took fowevew..7 and 1/2 houws...
I wanted to stop on the way and visit my fwiends Agatha and Archie, and Toffe and Wiley, and Maggie and Mitch,and Putter, and Kaci and Hershey..but the hoomans said we didn't have time, ...boooooooooo hoooooooooooooo

Well, aftew endless dwiving, we finally got thewe..this is how you fiwst see the house..it's on a hill and you have to dwive past it and then thwough some bootiful woodsy pawts, and then you'we thewe!

This is the back of it..it's hoooooge

as soon as we got to the fwont..Daddi found my loooong stwing and tied it to my collaw..

you see thewe awe no fences, and thewe awe Beaws, and Badgews, and Mooses, and Wabbits, and well I'm not known fow being a good listenew, so who knows whewe I would wind up, hehehehehe
...but don't wowwy..this wope gives me lots of places I can go...(btw. that's Mommi being vewy happy to be done wif the caw...me tooooooooooo)

fwom left that's Wobewta(auntie Kawen's sissy), Auntie Kawen, Susan( ouw hostess) and Mawcia
(Kawen, Susan and Mawcia went to college togefew)


time fow howsie duvwes, and dwinkables




my favowite is the cheese, but I had my own food too(fow nootwition)

I had to look at the bootiful countwieside

I think I know whewe the badgew lives, but I'm not supposed to visit him

just checking all sides



just a little weconoitewing

that's a pwetty nice view of the back of the house, don't you think?

thewe is a twadition
on the fiwst night we always have Pizza!!!!!!! and no one is allowed to have fun till evewyone gets thewe..
we wewe the last to awwive..let the fun begin!!!!

Daddi is aweady waiting in the kitchen...I think he's hungwy, hehehehe

Thewe is this bootiful old stove in the kitchen too..those bowls belong to the two kitties who live hewe..Daisy and Dot

(this house used to be the summew house of Pwesident Gwovew Cleveland
( I think he must have had staff..it's awfull big)

this is Dot..he's bwavew than Daisy, she wouldn't pose fow Mommi..she's shy

and in the nick of time, the PIZZAS awwived!
Pesto, cheese and fwesh tomato
Snausage and mushwoom

and Pollo Don Juan (chicken and awtichokes in a white sauce)..it sounds weiwd, but tastes gweat..

thewe awe two decks..
the lowew one is small and fixed up fow kids ...but since thewe awe fouw kiddie pawks within six blocks of us, no one evew goes hewe

what do you think..should I twy this? I sowt of did, but yelled fow Mommi to catch me..I guess I'm not as bwave as Hectow

this laddew thingy doesn't intewest me

I decided to explowe a little mowe of the deck..
this cownew is towawds the wivew and the view we have fwom ouw windows..
I also checked out the flowews..I love flowews, but I don't think they take vewy good cawe of these.

look what I found! this is fow all of you!!

Daddi is helping me look at the sun setting down fow a nap

I was looking at the fiweboats..they wewe spwaying watew neaw the piew whewe thewe was a big pawty fow Gay Pwide Day

You can see all the white tents on the piew...latew on they'we going to have fiwewowks..luckily neithew Asta now I get upset by them..
