Tuesdays With Tag - Happy Birthday, Boo...

Brynwood Needleworks - Greetings For The Birthday Girl

  Hi, Everybody!

I've received photographs of Miss Carly and planned to write about The Kid today, but I have to write about her mama instead. Yesterday was Bella's Birthday, and I can't write a post without wishin' her a Happy Extended Birthday.

 

Brynwood Needleworks - The Birthday Girl

  Our Best Girl is now SIX YEARS OLD!!!

Her day began with a bang. Mom let Bella and me outside to do our business, first thing, as usual. Except...there were two squirrels munchin' bird food in the kitchen garden. Boo smelled 'em, so she went around from the porch to the kitchen garden. 

Instead of jumpin' up onto the porch and runnin' away like they did on Sunday mornin', they ran out right in front of Bella! Not smart. Boo was right on their tails, chasin' after them through the deep snow. It looked like a cartoon. Everybody runnin', but no one had much traction. The first squirrel had a head start and got away pretty quick.

Bella almost caught the (slower) squirrel when they got to the retainin' wall, but she and the critter both jumped off the wall and kept runnin'. The two of 'em got to the big maple tree about the same time, but that squirrel made it there a half step faster, and zoomed up the tree before Bella could grab it. Mom was about havin' a stroke!

Black Dog was still pretty proud of herself, and she hung around the base of the tree for a little while. She didn't want to miss another pursuit, just in case that squirrel was foolish enough to come back down. 

Mom decided to take the squirrel food over to the maple tree (were their nest is), so we could avoid future incidents. I'm sure the squirrels will appreciated it, too. They won't have to run through that deep snow to eat.

Our Birthday Girl spent the rest of the day lyin' around, havin' treats, and barkin' at the slightest sound...just in case. Mom gave her lots of affection, too. It's a pretty perfect kind of Birthday if you're a dog.

Dad's headin' back home this week. He should be here with The Kid by the weekend. We're actually all lookin' forward to it. We can't wait to see what she looks (and smells) like! Next week's post will definitely be about her, but this week, it's all about our Birthday Boo.

 
I'll see you again in seven. 'til then..."Corgi On, Corgi Strong!"
