Marmel-aire-de

I guess all of that blackberry collecting was for a good reason...

LET ME HELP DAD - I KNOW I CAN HELP

Alright, so I guess there is that thing about me not having opposable thumbs. I understand that even while I don't agree with every aspect of the theory. I mean, I can stir with MY NOSE... doesn't that make me SUPERIOR?

Smells about done to me dad...

No sampling yet... of the marmelade anyway... so what else ya got dad?

RIBS??? Are you kidding me??? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING THOSE???

Tell you what... give me one now while I'm waiting to sample that marmelade. And I won't bug you about the marmelade for, oh, a little while. Deal?

DEAL.

Love,

Flug-Berry-Tag

Look what's growing along my main walkie area...

Blackberries!

I tried one and so far am not convinced to their yumminess. But the humans seem to like them.

One more sniff? Nah, still not convinced.

Hey Charlie, guess what? When your mama and dad went out today without you and me, they got together - no Airedales. I know, I know, annoying isn't it? Now THEY'RE hanging out as friends? What could they possibly have to talk about or to do without us there? Oh that's right, they went to FLUGTAG.

Mama reports that Flugtag was hysterical - teams of crazy flying machines careening off a large platform directly into the kind-of-yucky Willamette River.

Humans are silly.

Hope you got in some good house-destruction time... say hi to Casey and your kitties for me! Hope to see ya soon buddy!

Love,

Tiptoe Through the Brambles With Meeeee

I am now officially enamored of the blackberry brambles. There are yummy varmints hiding in there! Not only are there yummy berries, but there are also BUNNIES! I do want to catch a bunny someday (mama is not really thrilled about that...), but for now I'll have to content myself with catching BERRIES...

Hehehe - mom and dad look like they're on stilts and I just look a little tall...

Well if I can't have a bunny then I want something to take home. Check out this stick...

I'm pretty happy with this one. I picked it out from all of the sticks I walked on, by, or past this evening. Pretty good size, weight, and equal branch distribution.

It feels good in my jaws, I like the way it's balanced. Yes, I think this one will do.

Mom's "motion shot" so you can see the most excellent size of this stick.

Sticks now... Bunnies later... Look out you wascally wabbits, I'm comin' for ya!

Love,

Berry Good

Just checking out my neighborhood... it's a beautiful day in the neigh-bor-hood, a beautiful day for a neighbor, will you be mine...

I've been keeping up on the progress of the blackberry and raspberry bushes around my main walkie spot lately. They've started sprouting, and the raspberries are getting red...

In a little bit closer just to check on 'em - dad says we'll be making marmelade soon, one of these days we'll head over with our little red pic-a-nic basket and collect a bunch of them so dad can work his magic and make them yummy for breakfast and ice cream coverings...

Blackberries and raspberries... and the bushes and brambles are BRILLIANT!

Look at all of that berry potential. It's BERRY, BERRY GOOD...

Love,

Bogart
