Japanese Iris & Flowers

Hey Pals,
Well we didn't get tossed to Kansas by any tornadoes. We're still here in Iowa. It is very hot & muggy now. Mama tries to have us outside as much as possible, but we beg to come into the air conditioned house. We are spoiled!! You should see the corn in the fields across from us now, it is growing so tall. They say 'knee high by the 4th of July', well it's much taller than that already. That's good news for Auntie C & Uncle T cause they do field farming for extra income. Uncle T drives lots of huge tractors in the fields. Maybe we can hitch a ride sometime, hehehe. We wonder if Toto will get to ride in the tractor with his Papa. Toto is all recovered now from his surgery.

Mama hasn't taken any pictures of us the last few days, hmmmmph. But she did take pictures of her flowers again. Geez, flowers, flowers, flowers. The Japanese Iris have been blooming & the daylilies are just getting started. Here are some of her Japanese Iris:



These are Asiatic Lilies:

This is one of the Daylilies, the name is 'Good Ol Boy':
Hmmmmm, we're hungry. We think it's time to go beg for our dinner. Hope everyone has a great day!

Are we in Kansas???

Hey Pals,
We're beginning to think we live in Kansas near the Wizard of Oz, hehehehe. Our cousin Toto thinks so too. Late yesterday we had 2 tornadoes right near us. One was about 6 miles right south of us and the other was about 7-8 miles west of us. Whew, both never hit us thank dawgness. If we would have been sucked up by one, we might have landed at the Army of 4's house. Wouldn't that be cool?? Did you know that in the movie Twister, the old farm house that they show in the beginning of the movie is here in Iowa?? Mama & Papa have seen it too. It's about a 45 minute drive from here. The house is actually being remodeled on the inside now & tourists from all over stop to see the house.
This morning we did our routine inspection of the acreage that we always make after a storm & we had lots of sticks all over again. Snickers found some really nice ones that she especially thought our pal Bogart would just love!!! So these are for you Bogart:

Look what I found Butchy, nice big sticks for Bogart:
I Snickers am doing a PASS THE BOGART test, hehehehe....
Oh my, this one is excellent quality.....
Mama, do you think we could ship these to Bogart???
Well, Mama didn't think the UPS man would want to deliver sticks. So maybe we'll save them in a nice pile so in case Bogart ever stops here, we can pawsonally give them to him, hehehehe.

Did we tell you that Gussie is coming here to visit US in a few weeks??? He's even bringing his Mama & Papa with him. We're so excited, we need to get our things in order to show him when he arrives. You know, like take inventory of our pine cones, make sure our walking trails have plenty of deer doo doo to smell, make sure the squirrelies are on que to come running out for us to chase. And of course, the deer must come out. Mama said that one must happen! Snickers is supposed to be helping me, but she is too worried about other things...
Snickers here, Butchy knows pawfectly well that a girl has to look just right when her boyfweind comes to visit. Especially since he is coming all of the way from Awizona. See how I look now??
Well, I must get Mama to strip my hair, grind my nails & I need to find the pawfect outfit to wear. Mama, I don't think I have anything to wear, what are you going to make me???? My birfday is even in July & Mama said we could have my pawty when Gussie is here, even though it won't actually be my birf day. Maybe I can get Mama to paint my nails pink too, hehehehehe! Do you girl doggies & girl Hammie have any good ideas for clothes to wear?? Please help me!!!

Ok, now we are supposed to post a few flower pictures that Mama took again:


Well Mama just checked the radar & more storms are coming again, geez, what are us poor doggies supposed to do?? It's been wet outside all day & we can't even pway out there. Guess we better help Mama make supper before the storm hits. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
Wirey Hugs!

Painting is on the wall!

Hey Pals,
Snickers here today. Mama FINALLY decided where to hang our painting from Asta's Mama. Here are several pictures to show you how bootiful it is:



Now we can see ourselves on the wall everyday, hehehe. We promised Mama we would post some of her water lily pictures she took lately, so here are a few:




Sometimes we think the camera is glued to Mama. Papa makes fun of her sometimes for taking so many pictures but like she says, you can always delete the ones that aren't good. Now here are some GOOD pictures, wahahahahahaha! Butchy is giving me Snickers my daily face cleaning:




It always makes me sleepy when he does this so I guess I better go to bed. Sleep tight pals!

Well the deer are coming out into the yard more lately. And of course they are munching on Mama's hosta leaves. This doesn't make her too happy, hehehe. We haven't gotten any close pictures of the new baby deer yet, but we have seen them. Here are a few pictures of a large doe and some deer that were born last year:
