Happy To Be Home

 Mr. BoJangles here. Another road trip and I am happy to report that I seem to have gained control over my motion sickness. My mom was very happy about that!

Us dogs are always up for a trip, so it was with great anticipation that we all marched out to the RV. It started out great. We went to places we had already been before. That was fine with us. I sat in the recliner next to Mom's with Eddie. Mom will keep one hand on us and pat our heads as we roll down the highway. 

Toni Louise thinks she is special because she is allowed to ride in the front with her master. I am watching her! She keeps sliding out of the seat and into the floor. What is fun about that? I prefer my seat right next to Mom.

While we were gone, we had to stay in the RV all day while Mom took care of 3 other dogs! She calls them her grand dogs. I bet Dad didn't think they were so great when Bowie bit him! Yes, that is what I said, Bowie bit him! I would never bite Dad .... well, unless he tried to cut my toenails. I do not like anyone touching my feet! But I really would never bite Mom, she bites back and I learned that lesson when I was just a pup.

So, here's something that happened. The day before we left, Dad put a leash on me and took me out. Just me, by myself. Mom was waiting with another dog! This dog was smaller than me and I was barking at him. He just looked at me and then at Mom. At first, I was ready to fight this small white dog; then I thought he might be fun to play with. I wagged my tail as fast as it would go and I was ready to be friends with him but when I got close to his face, he growled at me! It was kind of like when Toni Louise growls at me when I want her to play with me and she is not in a mood to play. Mom told me later that Max (that is his name) is old like Toni and does not appreciate all my energy.

Toni went out to meet Max, and they just looked at each other. No barks, no growls. Maybe it has something to do with both of them being old. Toni came back in, and Dad put Eddie's leash on. I could have told you he would not like Max. Eddie is very jealous when it comes to Mom and Mom was holding Max. Eddie absolutely hated Max just because Mom was holding him. 

Later we all found out that Mom was considering bring Max home with us! How crazy is that? We found out that when Bowie bit Dad it was because he was holding Max and Dad put his arm up to protect Max. Mom says that Bowie likes to be the only dog. This is unfortunate because Bruno and Max live there, too. They get along just fine, but it appears that Bowie gets along with no other pets!

Mom felt sorry for Max having to stay in a bedroom all day. She did say that the bedroom was as big as our entire house! I think Max leads a pretty good life. He is the king of that bedroom, and he gets to sleep in bed with Adrienne and Chad. They are his people, and Mom calls them her kids.

Us dogs find this very confusing. We thought WE were her kids! We are home now and I, for one am quite happy to be here. Mom has already mowed our yard, and I have already made a pile of poop for her to pick up!

Hot Diggity Dog!

  Although this is my very first post, I am not new to blogging. For years I have been sharing my good days, my bad days, and many calamities with those who cared to read my words.  Did I want to start a brand-new blog? Not really. Life sometimes gets in the way. I acquired a stalker along the way. She is relentless and will not go away. I have had readers who disagree with me and have even said some harsh things in comments. Eventually they seem to move on and let me be. Not this one. The easiest thing was to stop posting on my old blog and create a new one. So, here I am. My new blog name would suggest that I am excited. I suppose I am. That being said, the name is more like a tribute to my canine companion, Charming Eddie. Charming Eddie is a dachshund, hotdog, wiener dog, fat little sausage filled with love for me. My constant companion has inspired many a story. Not just him, but his canine and turtle siblings. Yes, I am Mom to 3 dogs and a turtle. If I had my way, there ...

Mulch, Teeth and Steppingstones

  Today is the big day! I will be glued to the dentist chair for an hour while they make a mold of my mouth and then, ultimately my new tooth. I am excited. I won't have the tooth installed today, but I am one step closer to eating popcorn! Why is it that you always want what you can't have. I don't even like popcorn that much, but since I don't have the ability to chomp it up, I want it like nothing I have ever wanted before! This upper garden is trying to kill me! Just when I think I can almost see completion, something happens to put me two steps behind the one step I took. I am praying that I will be able to eke out my last bag of mulch to cover the carboard.  I have since changed my mind several times about what will surround the steppingstones. First, I was going to use gravel with no steppingstones but walked on some of the gravel I have on hand and didn't like the way it felt to my feet. Not my bare feet, mind you, but I could tell there would be a balance i...

Gardens and Cats

  My gout has gone, but the memory stays! Now my neck is bothering me with arthritis. I am sure digging has nothing to do with it. I seem to be in a race to finish my upper garden. Only two bags of mulch remain.  I spread one today and planted two Crepe Myrtle bushes and another cone flower. This one is orange. I already have white and purple. It is safe to say that there is no particular color scheme. Just lots of color. Yesterday I bought 6 shepherd's hooks that I saw on Marketplace. One is already in place on my little deck with a hummingbird feeder that is visible from the window next to my sewing machine. It is on the high end and hopefully out of reach from the cat population. The cat population continues to grow. A new cat showed up last week. A fluffy grayish one. I am pretty sure it is female. She is not as skinny as Mousy Tongue and I fear she will be adding some babies soon. Hard to tell with all that fur, but her belly is certainly bigger than the other two females...
