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!!

Fave Things Thursday

I was sitting a work yesterday..tired out..low energy...so while taking my break I thought how nice it would be to have something sweet. I love sweets..they give me tooth aches and migraines but they are still one of my fave things!!

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...

Timmy Again

Timmy has been in rehab and as soon as he heard I was ill he rushed home. He knows when I am sick there will be lots of tea to steal. So while we were chatting it slipped that he was only at rehab a few days. Due to his poor behaviour and temper tantrums they called in Jo the Supernanny..

They felt that since he was acting like a child they would bring in a nanny.

Long story short here is a pic they took of Timmy right before he bit her finger.

I only had to take one look at his expression to know what was coming...so he was kicked out..Timmy has been traveling since them and plans to show me the pics as they get developed..hmmmm

So he asked if I had seen him on TV with the Queen lately..HUH????

Here he is on the plane on his way to England.

Here he is hanging with "lizze and phil" at the races..he says "Lizzie" makes the best tea!!

He even wore his tie to the meeting with the Obamas..how I missed this on the television coverage is beyond me! The queen finds his fashion sense helpful.

Finally here was the group shot of all the dignitaries and if you look closely you will see Timmy sitting on the queen's lap..just click on it to get the larger pic....Unbelievable..I am almost afraid to find out where else he has been. I'll keep you posted!!

Fave Thursday

Well I'm back..after posting about swine flu I get sick with a flu bug for 2 weeks. Now I have pink eye and my eye swelled sooo huge it looked like I had been bitten by something. At work now I have 2 computers to stare at all day. We have done a merger of sorts with another company so we are very busy which is a good thing! After looking at 2 screens all day though I don't feel like going home and blogging..I have just been going to bed...my favourite place....my bed.

Since it is Fave Thursday I am doing a post about Beds..we all have them!!

A photo print of a bed. Makes me want to crawl right in and take a nap.

Fave Things Thursday

It has not been a good week here at the funny farm. I slammed my right hand which already has nerve damage in my hay shed door...ouch just does not cover it...typing with my left hand is rather awkward too! My sis can no longer take my horses to live with her, so now I have to find an affordable place to keep them or I can't move out AND I gave my goats away to a new home. That was hard ..very hard..but I am going to see them on Sunday so that should cheer me up I'm sure!

All the news wants to talk about right now is Swine Flu or excuse me H1N1 virus. I know it is a serious thing but I really feel the media is over doing it...like always..In Alberta (a province in Canada) a farm worker who came back from Mexico on vacation infected the 200 pigs that are at the farm. Pigs don't die from the flu, they just get symptoms then get over it. So rather than kill every pig in sight they just quarantined the pigs..and the man..which I thought for once was a good move.

I love pigs..they are smart, clean and very clever..so in honor of all the pigs getting a bad rap right now I dedicate my Fave day to them

This is an amazing hand carved piece of art made from basswood. Check out the link to get close ups of this, it really is amazing!

Here we have a cute little pig made from a recycled sweater. Very Cute!!!!http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24255797

I think these two piggies would look great hanging as an ornament. Check out this stores dog carvings too..awesome work!

I always have to have a piece of jewelry in my picks. I love this pendant, it has a 3D feel to it!
