Hot times in the city

What a steamy weekend! Temperature wise, that is. Things have been really blazing outside, so Mami and Papi have left the ceiling fans on, and at night they turn on the window air conditioner in the bedroom. Lulu has been airing her belly in the window all day.
I had to stay inside today because Mami and Papi trimmed the chicken's wings and let them go free range around the yard. They're afraid if I go out there, I will get pecked in the head, so when they're loose I stay inside. And then when they go back in their pen I get to go out again and play snake.
The other night Mami put this magic thing in the bathtub that turned the water all blue and smelly. It smelled so good I almost wanted to get in and swim around, but I decided against it. I just stood on the side and sniffed.
Right now I'm about to have a tasty bit of biscuit. Mami made biscuits for breakfast and there is one stale one left for me. Hurrah!

Feliz cumpleanos a mi!

Friday was my fourth birthday and I had a very nice time. Mami took me out to play snake for hours until I was very tired. Then I got extra biscuits and lots of time to sleep on the couch. It was a very good day, with all the things I like.
Tonight, while Mami and Papi were watching t.v., they gave me bites of pie and cheesecake! It was very exciting. Now I'm extremely full! A birthday weekend with naps and pie, what could be better?

Gooooool!

Good morning all! I have been spending the morning on the back of the couch, watching futbol on Telemundo with Papi. Its the Confederation Cup finals, Brazil versus US. I'm rooting for the US, and they've got two goals to Brazil's one. It's very exciting. Except sometimes I fall asleep.
Later on we're all going outside to pick cherries and Mami has promised to make a cobbler. I can't wait. I have been eating a lot of cherries lately out in the yard. The chicken ladies like them too. They fight over them when they land in their pen.
Hope everyone has time to get outside today, it's super nice out there!

Playing snake and having fun

It stopped raining long enough for us to have some quality snake time outside today, which was a whole lot of fun. Mami and Papi moved the chicken coop to a new spot and then Mami mowed the lawn while Papi and I played snake. It was really fun and I got Mami involved by throwing the snake in front of her lawn mower over and over again. She didn't think it was very funny.
The chickens and I get along pretty good now. We ignore each other most of the time. I only get excited if they flap their wings or if they're chasing flies, and then I only want to see what they're doing. Mami says they like strawberry tops and spinach leaves. Isn't that weird? So do I!
After we got done playing I brought snake inside and lay on the couch while Mami folded laundry. She washed my blankets and so I got to have nice clean ones for my bed. They're warm!
We did have some very very sad news today. Papi's Tia has passed away from cancer. Mami and Papi are very very sad. Lulu went and stayed in Papi's lap for a long time after they got the news. I don't like cats very much but sometimes they are very smart about things.

Left alone!

I hate to tell you this, but on Friday night, I was left all by myself! That's right. Mami and Papi went to Portland for the night and they left me here. It was awful.
Ok, its true that Tia Jennifer and Doris came and took me for a walk, and then played snake. And then they came back the next morning and we played in the yard for a long time. But in between I was ALL alone. Except for Lulu. But she's no help.
Now Mami and Papi are back and the house smells like chorizo and papas because it's dinner time, so I'm feeling a little better about life. Just a little.

Memorial Day in the great outdoors

I realize the blog post makes it sound like we've been camping, but when I say outdoors I mean the back yard. It's been a pretty fun weekend around here. Mami has been working outside in the yard for three whole days, and tonight, Papi put a bunch of yummy food on the barbecue grill in back and I just sat there and sniffed the smoke, it was soooo good. I also kept an eye on the chickens. Mami won't let me chase them, but sometimes I march up with my stuffed snake and kill it right in front of the coop so they know I mean business. They dont really pay much attention but I know they're watching me out of the corner of their eye.
Mami took this funny picture of me tonight. She and Papi have been hanging laundry on the clothesline because it's warm and a little windy and things dry really fast. This is a photo of some of Mami's special things. They're bigger than me!

The chickens come home to roost

Last night the chickens arrived, Betita and Viola. My reaction to them was just about how Mami expected. As soon as a noticed them (which took a little while) I wanted to chase them. But after they figured out I couldn't get to them, they ignored me, which wasn't very fun, so eventually, after growling a lot, I lost interest.
Mami said it's going to take awhile before I'm very nice to them, but she said that someday we'll all get along. And when they're bigger we'll get to be in the yard together. What does "under supervision" mean?
