Squirrel Support

Timmy has decided that the squirrels are getting a bum wrap with OWAS and has decided to step in. He has opened a training facility which he is funding with a grant from his friend Queen Elizabeth. She is horrified that squirrels are being treated badly. In England they are protected!

So here are some of his training captains:

Master Ninja Khan...Deceptively cute until he jumps into action..

He has moves the world has never seen...

Master Yoda

Teaches skills in balance and strength

Captain McSquirrel

Teaches ground moves and spy techniques.

That could be you he is spying on dogs...

here is a cadet in combat training

It's exhausting work

Top Agent #10..our master of disguise...

He is busy teaching his cadets how to go out in public and win over humans to our side..after all...they control the dogs..

Start with the children...tell them our side of the story

.

Shine some shoes and gain a supporter

Get the humans to help you cross enemy lines...

And finally win over the young of our enemy.

We squirrels are everywhere and with Timmy's master manipulative skills and the great intelligence and techniques of our captains..we shall overcome....

Finally our General Mr Big..you gotta have big nuts to take on this squirrel..

Jealous all you neutered sissies??????

R.I.P.

R.I.P Archie

Yesterday at noon I came home to find my bird Archie dead on my bed. All his tail feathers were pulled out and he had a tiny cut in his breast. He was also covered in saliva.
FiFi, Buster Peebody, Timmy and Ferret Face were all in the room.

Fifi would never do anything like that, Ferret face is so old that she could never move fast enough to catch him. So that left Timmy and Buster Peebody.

Timmy usually sleeps til noon when I go in and wake him up so I figured it was probably Buster Peebody. When I let them back into the room Buster Peebody ran straight to the spot where I found the tail feathers..he did it...I just know it. Since the great hamster massacre in '07 when 8 hamsters died from Hansel(ferret) and Buster Peebody scheming together there has been no indication of any problems.

Archie loved to fly all the time and had lived in the room for 2 years. I had never seen any reason to worry about the dogs killing him.
I feel very guilty, I guess I should have kept him locked up even though he hated it.
I will miss his machine gun/woody woodpecker noises that greeted me every morning...
RIP Archie

I quess you folks have figured out by now that I like dogs.. So I typed dogs into Etsy and got 52,346 items..few too many for me to pick from.

Close Up

A close up of Timmy. Not his best pose..."hey Paparrazzi...I love it"

Fifi seems to wonder why I am always pointing that thing at her

but wait..in the lower left..a red dog...a PUPPY!!!!

We don't like puppies here at the funny farm.

That is why we adopt OLD dogs (exept for Buster Peebody but he was born with an old soul)

Timmy disappears as the red puppy begins to attack!!

With no one around to help me I must subdue the red puppy myself...

ugggg puppies...the tale of the red puppy coming soon!!!!

Before and After

We have had a few changes here at the funny farm..

Buster Peepody went from this...

to this!!!!

Little FiFi went from this..

To this..

Even Timmy changed from this..

to this....

My poor dogs. I practice grooming on them and poor Buster Peebody gets the worst of it. His groom was the worst but it is growing in nicely now. Timmy was a mistake. I was trimming his fu-man-chu moustache with my super long extra sharp shears went he flipped his ear forward and poof...1/2" of ear hair gone..So then I had to fix up the other ear. Then he looked weird with long sides and short ears so I had to trim it all off. I was almost in tears and vowed never to cut a dogs hair again...So I call this his Johnny Depp look with the long pieces still falling around his head. Everyone likes it better but me. I miss combing his silve locks..oh well

So here is the gang celebrating their new summer styles..

If you look close there is actually a grin on Timmy's face!!

Cody and Toto

Recently we had very special visitors at the Funny Farm. My nephew Cody and his Cairn Terrier Toto came for a visit. I don't get to see Cody as much as I would like so I always look forward to these visits. He mentioned that he would like to be on my blog...so there you go Cody!!!!

Cody and Toto..How handsome is this kid!!!! Takes after his Aunt Jennifer:)Cody loves his dog (runs in the family) and this little dog is one of the toughest I have met. He has been raised with Cody and they wrestle, play fetch, tug of war and he just rolls with the punches!! A great kids dog..

I clipped Toto while he was visiting. He ended up with less hair, looking neater but still scruffy. He is a monkey but overall a fun little guy to have around!

Timmy hates him but Buster Peebody thinks he's the greatest guy in the world to play with.

Toto on guard

. I think I did a good job on his groom . Especially his face.

I eventually did cut the grass. I like the dandelions...
