What's that you say - your mother has the whole summer off from school? Then why is she always running around and still hasn't gotten around to putting her feet up and opening up a good book? I guess the truth is that she just likes to stay busy. Taking a day off always sounds wonderful, but after a couple of hours she needs to find someplace to go or something to do. I can always help her out with that!
Here's a cute picture of little Joanna out in the pen. That chewy tire is almost as big as she is!
Emma is crazy afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks. None of the rest of us are. She gets so nervous she doesn't know if she wants to be held or hide. So she does both. She is just so on edge she can't decide what would make her feel better. Mommy tried putting her in the crate and covering it up with blankets, but she tried to squeeze her way out between the wire on the crate.
Do any of you guys get scared like that? Is there anything that helps you feel better? Mom and Dad will try anything.
Here's another picture from our July 4th barbeque. We have a HUGE yard, but Mom and Dad squeezed us in one little area near the back door. I think it was because she wanted to stay close to our pen. This picture shows Mom showing Emma and I off to some of the guests. Emma is excited to see Frank, who she used to live with a couple of years ago. They were good pals and she sure remembered him!
Big news - we're getting a new chicken coop at the end of the week! Dad bought a shed from a lady who is moving and he and Mom are going to convert it for the chickens! Cool! They also bought a small outdoor wire kennel that they're going to attach to the shed so the chickens can go outside. Mom says they'll have to put wire over the top so the chickens won't get taken by hawks and so they won't plan any escapes!
Happy Tuesday!
