It Was A Good Day For The Dogs....

The Farmer....and his Daughter..aka PreShie....decided to take a little Rhino ride on Satuday

evening.  She had been out of town for a couple of days on a cheer trip and The Farmer...well...

he is always up for a Rhino ride.  So they headed for the Solecito to check on the animals....and

then to the river for an adventure.  The took the beloved dogs along for some much needed

exercise.  It was a cool day....the leaves are begining to yellow...it was a beautiful day.

When they arrived home...PreShie mentioned something about the Rhino nearly rolling...and it was scary.

But that was about it...and I didn't think too much about it...until this morning when I read The Farmer's

weekly letter to the Missionary Boy.  He went into a little more detail....and mentioned something

about nearly running over the dogs a few times.  And....of course he ended the letter by saying...

it really wasn't that big of a deal...it all turned out OK.

The dogs returned along with The Farmer and PreShie...they seemed just fine...in fact they slept

pretty well on Saturday night.  That is always a good thing.

So I guess in some cases the phrase "what you don't know...won't hurt you..." is kind

of true.  Had I know what really happened...I would have worried...all I did know for sure

is that they all came home safe and sound.

The Farmer titled this photo...

"Paradise"

And for us it is.  Our little piece of heaven on earth.  Some days it doesn't seem

like much....but we sure like it!

So...a few weeks ago...Boss The Dog got "picked up" and thrown in the "slammer."

We were out of town when it happened...but thanks to the gardner next door we knew what had happened.

The dog police actually called Boss The Dog...from our yard onto the street so he could get him.
Our theory is that someone decided they wanted him and offered the dog police a little $$$$

and he gave it his best shot!  The Rooster called us and reported the "crime"....The Farmer sprang

into action and called out the troops...(that would be our secretary)...who headed to the Dog

Slammer and took these photos of Boss The Dog.  The most disturbing thing about the whole

event...is that the dog is actually smiling!

He had to spend the night in the "Slammer" but was released early the next morning.

When "the troops" arrived to take him home...he didn't want to leave the pen he was locked up in...

after all...he had made some new friends and was having a great time!

Had we known that his visit to the "Slammer" would have been so much fun...we wouldn't have

worried so much!  Luckily "the troops" arrived bright and early to pick him up...while they

were paying the fines...another family arrived to take him home...pretty interesting huh?!

When Boss The Dog arrived home....he went right to his water dish and drank and drank...

The Rooster fed him...watered him...and hugged him...we just wish he had learned that the

"Slammer" is a BAD place to be...not a place to make new friends!!!
