This was suppose to be a dog house for me. But.........I hated it! After all, I wasn't brought up in a barn! It shoulda been a castle! Just sayin!  Lovies, Miss Mindy Mom here; we have a neighbor that builds dollhouses. Ralph asked him one day if he built any dog houses. The man said, he had this one. Take it home and try it for a few days. So we did. Well, as you read

So, I wasn't to worried yesterday, when Mom found that little knitting hook I chewed up. Know why? Cause I just knew she could fix it! She love that polymer clay stuff and has a bunch of it! She plays with the clay a bit, and put it around the old chewed up handle. Then she bakes it in the toaster oven for awhile. After it is baked, she cools it off, sticks it upright in some more clay, and

These are little tools that my Mom uses to knit on a loom. I found the top one, her favorite, next to her chair. Of course I had to check it out, and make sure it was safe for her to use! Lovies, Miss Mindy

The Avocado Tree is thriving this winter. It is growing taller all the time, and is now beginning to bush out at the top. As the bottom leaves start to deteriorate a bit, Mom takes them off. She is very proud of her tree. Maybe someday, it will be a nice shade tree for me!                                                                              Lovies, Miss Mindy

Mom just wants you all to see how the middle of January looks like in central Florida. Pretty Pansies,                  Vibrant red Firecrackers, just to name a few of our year round blooming flowers.

So Dad, what is going on with these bricks? Are you going to build me my own little house with them?" No Miss Mindy, I am just making you a very special place to play, and those are the edging. Tell your readers, we will post a picture, when I am all done. I think you will like it".

One day I was just sniffing around in the house, and WOWZERS! I got me a whiff of these coming from the kitchen! Of course, they smelled much better as they were baking! Mom always makes 8 of them, so she can have some in the freezer for a later date. Just one of these babies, make a whole meal for one person. Mom says the trick to freezing them, is to not cook them all the way the first time! I

When my Dad goes into the house without me, I kinda just stare at the door untill he comes back out. Sometimes I bark. He should NOT leave me alone out here, even if I am on the string! I need to be by his feet every minute of the day! Mom says we are attached like bandaids to each other. So who took this pic of me you ask? Surely you are not really alone? Well, Mom of course, but she doesn't

OK, so this is one thing I did that was bad. (according to Mom). I found it beside her bed and I just couldn't resist the smell coming from it! So of course I ran away with it and took it to my chewing place under the dining room table! This is how it was found a short time later by the old lady, Momster! Now just imagine, what soft kissable lips I have after digesting this! You'd think she

I really did some bad things lately! Well, what do you want with me? Christmas is over, so I don't have to be good for that anymore. (was I ever good?) And, what is a poor little inquisitive puppy to do with all this stuff I am finding around here? Just ignore them? HA! I DON'T THINK SO! But I KNOW you still loves me, don'tcha, huh huh??? Many Lovies, Miss Mindy

This is my Teddy, all inside out. Mom wants to know how I get it that way. It's a secret! Dad, threw it in the trash! Mom took it out and hid it from me. She also fixed it to look more normal, like below. I found it on New Years Day! I sniffed it out with my little nose!! BOL ON DAD AND MOM! Lovies, Miss Mindy

This is Mom's new Snowman she got for Christmas. When she isn't looking, I think I will just chew on it, just a little bit! "Miss Mindy! I heard you! DO NOT! I repeat, DO NOT CHEW ON MY SNOWMAN!" Uh, OK Mom, I won't................yet. Lovies, Miss Mindy PS: Gracie, you didn't tell your Mom anything about Sat. nite did you? Mum's the word ya know!!! Thats why I am NOT going to blog about it.

OK, so we still got a couple of Christmas pics to share. Then we will get on to 2012! Early Christmas Eve Day, Mom and Dad went over to Downtown Disney, to meet up with an few friends. THEY DID NOT TAKE ME! I sat in my crate for 5 hours, just twiddling my paws! The nerve of them to do this to a poor little innocent puppy, on a very important day! I was quite ticked off! I tried chewing my crate

Since my "Old Geezer" parents will probably not stay up tonight, I have made some plans to celebrate myself! Right after they fall asleep, My door will be open to anyone who wants to party with me! I got some Godiva White Chocolate Liquor, Guinness, Cheetos, and fudgy cookies here. So who want to come over and PARTY with me? Let's do some "roof raising"! Lovies, Miss Mindy PS: To those that

Christmas day really wore me out, A LOT! I did so much chewing of my new bone and playing with my new toys, I finally had to give into it, and take a rest. Mom took off my pretty little black dress a bit later, and I really got comfy! By the way, have you ever heard that every lady NEEDS a "little black dress"? I had never hear that in my short life, but I know all about it now! In fact, This

Maybe those cookies you made me have lots of calories in them Mom! Oh no! Maybe I shouldn't have said that! Don't worry, I will do lots of running around the house to burn those pesky calories up!

This is my Christmas bag, all full of goodies! Mom took a video of me getting into it, but it won't load on Blogger! Anyway, The first thing I found, was a ball!  I ran away with it, chewed it a bit, then I came right back to my bag! Inside I found, the pink flat dog you can see above. Next there was this white rope thingy. OK I get it! It's a Tug O War rope! NEAT! Then.........there was

I am going to blog today, instead of Miss Mindy. It took me long enough to convince her I wouldn't take to much time away from her. My Son, Clint, recently got a new puppy. (Top picture) It is a very lovable pit bull named Gracie. He got it for free and assures me she is just the sweetest girl around, (well except for Miss Mindy of course). Anyway, I used to make his kitties many toys to play

This is my early morning resting place! After my Dad and I get up,  we both do our duties, then he feeds me. After that, I usually chew on this bone for awhile and get all tired out. So, I take a little nappy here. If you look closely, you can see where I chewed on the painted steel chair rungs. I did that a long time ago when I was a baby! I really like being under this table, cause my Dad is

This is my Mom's Favorite QB, Tom Brady! I think she just wishes she could have his money! Yesterday we got to watch a Patriots game here in central fl. That doesn't happen to often. So my Mom and Dad were really excited about it, and tried to tell me all about the game. Well, I am a girl, and I really just didn't get it! But I sure would like to jump and catch that ball!

Ya know, I am a bit confused. Mom says her favorite color is purple, but yet she says my pink tongue is one of her favorite things about me. Maybe.........I should eat a purple lollipop, then she will love my tongue even more! Lovies, Miss Mindy PS: Today is my Dad's birthday! He is about 169 yrs old! He looks DAMM, pretty good for that age, don'tcha ya'll think? I think I will share my

It's been exactly six months since our Billy went over the rainbow bridge. We still think about him a lot, and miss him very much! We sure hope he is having lots of fun in Doggie Heaven!

These two Snowmen, happily sit on our lanai every Christmas season. My Mom tells me they are enjoying some rum drinks, and thats's why she calls them Rum Buddies. I think I will go ask if they want to share some of their drinks with me. After all, I get thirsty too! Lovies, Miss Mindy

Looks like I have to go in my crate for a few hours today. I only have to go in there if my Mom and Dad go out at the same time. I really don't mind to much though, cause there is a number of toys to keep me occupied. Or...........Maybe..........I should just take a snooze while they are gone. Ya know, it can be quite hard sometimes getting any rest when the pawrents are around!!

My Mom has been getting lots of photos of my tongue lately. She has been known to say to me, Close your mouth Miss Mindy, you might catch a fly! I got a funny feeling, you may be seeing more tongue pics soon! Lovies, Miss Mindy

My Mom got really excited recently, when she saw this leaf on the ground! "OH A MAPLE LEAF", she said. "Where on earth did this leaf come from"?  "Just like back in New England!" She didn't think there were any maple trees around us in Florida. Uh.........Mom.......so sorry to tell you.....that is actually a silk leaf off of someones fall decoration!

Every year, my human sis Jennifer, takes a lovely fall picture of her children. It is so beautiful on their property this time of year! Mom always gets excited to see what Jennifer has created every year with the gorgeous fall colors. So here is: Miss Julia, and Master Joseph, proudly posing for their Mom! I haven't had the chance to meet them yet, cause they live so far away, so watch out

I recently won a contest that was held by Peggy Frezon and her puppy, Kelly. (sorry Peggy, we don't know how to link up with your blog.) Any way, I got this package in the mail one day, and I sniffed it all over! I could just tell there was something exciting in there for me! Inside were two Juniper wood fetching sticks! Oh my! They sure did smell good! Now my Dad is trying to teach me

Every evening, when it gets to be a certain time, you can find me here in my crate. I have an internal clock that tells me it is time for Mom to go to bed, so I usually wait for her here. As soon as she kisses My Dad good night, I run into bed with her. I stay with her for a little while, then go back out and sit with my Dad till he goes to bed. Dad says anyone could tell time by me!!!

I tried on Billy's old pumpkin costume, but I was not real happy with it as you can see. So my Mom bought me this little dress at Pet Smart! 75% off, It was only about $2.00, BOL, Boy is she smart, huh? It is a pretty Halloween dress with a skull on the back. You see, I wanted something with a skull on it like my friend Sadie, who is a motorcycle dog. So I finally got what I wanted. I think

My Mom got a Knifty Knitter loom as a gift. She has been knitting on it ever since. The top pic is a pretty pink sweater for me to wear this winter, and in the bottom pic, is the beginning of a blue sweater for me. I think I should ask Dad to build me my own closet as I am getting so many clothes! Lovies to all, Miss Mindy

I have a habit of really chewing my toys up! So my parents went to Pet Smart, (without me, the nerve of them), to find me a toy I couldn't chew up so easy. They brought me home this real neat tire toy. It is really made quite tough, and I haven't chewed it up yet. Plus.......it is a good tug-o-war toy! I usually win that game! BOL!! If you look below me in the picture, you can see bits of

Yep! She is so good to me, all the time, I felt like I owed her! The timing was right. I had a full tummy, lots of exercise, plenty of belly rubs, and a whole lot of loving! So.........I gave her footies, lickies! I actually enjoyed doing this. You see, she uses lots of nice creams on her footies, so they tasted really good! Some vanilla stuff she said. I really got into to it as you can tell.

A few weeks back, Ralph and I went to an RV show in Orlando. It is still a dream of ours to own an RV and do a lot of traveling with it. Probably not go full time with it though. The  prices have really come down on all these types of vehicles lately. But.......we just can't do anything until we sell our house. We saw some really nice features in the 2011 RV's and some cool things in older

My Mom really likes to re purpose things. She had an old jean skirt that she never wore anymore, (probably was to small for her BOL). She decided to make me a dress out of it. Now mind you, my Mom is not a seamstress, but she sure tries. So, you never want to look to close at some of her sewing, cause she says it just is not right!! But I think she did a pretty good job on my new dress,

We like this photo a lot too! Mom always says I am such a lady, just a little rough around the edges! Is she making fun of me? I'm wondering now.

My Mom likes to pretty up my photos with a program she has, so this week, we are going to feature pics of me, All Framed Up! I am still a little girl in this pic. I have a very baby face as you can see. So hope you enjoy what we have in store for you! Lovies, Miss Mindy

I happen to love the Praying Mantis, and when Ken posted this photo on Facebook, I asked him if I could use it on my Blog. Just look at those eyes, will ya! He looks like he staring right at me! And to think I use to keep

So the back of the couch has become my throne! (hehe) I like to get up here a lot, especially when I hear a noise outside. You know, I have to protect my pawrents and make sure the world out there is safe for them. As you can tell, this is a photo taken before Mom cut all my hairs off. They do look naughty/knotty don't they? I have become quite used to my slender, lovely almost hairless leggies

One day recently, my Mom said I was naughty. I really don't know what I did! She said I was so naughty, she was going to cut all the hairs off of me. Well the nerve of her I thought! Why was I going to get all my hairs removed because of something I know nothing about? So.......I endured over an hour, on top of the washing machine, (best place in our house for grooming), while she took that
