Rosie Zidane is out of retirement

Well, folks, it's here!!!! "What's here?! Huh? I'M CONFUSED!" you, my faithful readers, are probably exclaiming right now.
Let me explain. A few days ago, my wonderful long leash that I get hooked up to when I play soccer and stick snapped. Tigger went to get me a new one, but she ordered from online, because it cost about a third as much as getting it in the store.
It came late this afternoon, and then this evening I went out and played with the girls. Here are some pictures....

WWFN,

LOVE

ROSIE ZIDANE!

PS- Thank you for the leash, Tigger!=)

Summertime and the living's easy

The family ate dinner outside the other night. I am quite fond of this situation- I'm outdoors and I get to be near food. What's not to love?

Kanga has some lovely pots of flowers.

Me, looking out across the yard towards the road.

"Hmmm. What's on the table?"

Sigh. Nothing for me to take and eat.

WWFN,
Rosie

Baby Birds!

The birds have been very noisy of late, and part the reason is that there are birds nests all over the place. Here are some pictures that Tigger took of the baby birds and the mother. She was not a happy camper about Tigger taking the pictures, however.

There's mama bird being very angry at Tigger.

Tigger said there were either 3 or 4. She couldn't get close enough to tell though because she didn't want to be attacked by an angry mama mockingbird!

What a Bernese Mountain Dog does in the dog days of summer

Look at that temperature! Keep in mind that it was 91 in the shade. In the sun it's usually about 7 - 10 degrees hotter.

This is my "I'm so sad that it's so hot" face.

You can see my new collar there.

A close up of the collar.

Looking at the thermometer and being very sad.

Napping. What a BMD does during the dog days of summer.

More napping.

Oh no! It's even hotter now!(And again, that's the temp. in the shade!)

Kanga, can we move to Alaska? Please?

Hotness and my new collar

So, it's hot. Really hot. Like triple digits hot. I am an unhappy Bernese Mountain Dog because of that.

What do I mean by hot?

This is what I mean by hot.

The long range forecast...

So, I've been hiding inside in the AC. This morning the family took me to the park. It was a short walk, let me put it that way.

In other news, I got a new collar. It's pretty and has flowers. I will be sure to get a picture of it soon. Also, my long leash that I use to play soccer broke the other day. This is quite sad, although see the weather forecast above for an indication of why it's not too terribly tragic after all.

Rosie the hot

Happy 4th of July!!!!

Happy 4th of July, y'all!! We're having a pretty quiet day. The humans went to a parade in the morning in Aunt K. and Uncle J.'s town in another state, and now they're doing stuff around the house.  Grams is coming over for dinner later. I can't wait!!!!!
Here are the pictures from the parade in Smalltown, USA.  

The youngest J with Tigger

Hey! This dog got to go. Why didn't I?

One of the bands that always plays...

Someone's decorations

The back of the band you saw earlier

Yet another band

Look! It's a HoverRound. *sings* HoverRound takes me where I want to go....

A 4-H Mini horse club..

..that dressed their horses as African animals

Some sort of really cool old military vehicle (Uncle J. says he thinks it's from the Korean War) with a tank tread chassis 

Another really cool old military vehicle, this time probably with a 4- wheel drive chassis

Yet another old military vehicle (guess who helped me write this post!)

The hobo band

The youngest J's foot with Roo's dress

Pretty old car

Sparky the fire dog

Pooh, I hope you feel like you got a bit of the parade! Have  Happy 4th of July! We miss you!!

WWFN,

Doings and another oreo cow

Goodness. Today is Tuesday, and I haven't posted since Thursday.  OTOH, I did give you all the benefit of not one, not two, but three whole doses of my awesomeness of Thursday, so you shouldn't be complaining too loudly. ;)
I've been busy helping Tigger ace her GREs.  She did perfectly on the English, although we don't know about her essays yet, and almost perfectly on the math.  I'm so very proud of her.
Sunday I got the dreaded b-word (aka a bath- Ed.).
Yesterday, I took Daddy and Roo to the hardware store and got a lot of treats.  As in, more than 10 treats, Roo thinks. It was yummy.

Kanga found this picture of an oreo cow that Roo drew she's guessing when she was in about 3rd grade or so.













And, because no post is complete without a dose of Rosie cuteness,

WWFN!

Love,

Rosie
