Dogs, Stickers, Ducks and more...........

A salute to our T-dog, who turned 3 years old last Friday. We celebrated her birthday with cake (she didn't get to enjoy it :() but she did enjoy her three gifts that we bought her. Here's Tatum Happy Cakes Roberts posing with her ginormous chew bone! Yes, her middle name is Happy Cakes, that is what C-man named her when he received her for his 2 year birthday. He was really into "Happy Cakes" for birthdays, weddings, showers, etc. that year! Tatum has been the usual middle child.....seeking attention, dramatic, forgiving, sensitive, loving, and energetic! We enjoy her lovingness and naughtiness all wrapped up into this cute package!.......sure hope Miss-O is not expecting a dog for her 2nd b-day.......if we do, we're getting a tiny one that can fit in my purse and doesn't shed!

Here's what T-dog is thinking, "The ideal dog food would be a treat that tastes like a postman."
She devoutly guards us daily from the blue uniformed individual that crosses her territory and delivers us our mail!
"Ticka! Ticka!" We thought Miss-O was saying she wanted tickled, until she showed us she wanted to play with the stickers.....her new passion and interest! The first place they go is on her nose and the rest of the family members' noses! Here is Dad and O with "HO-HO tickas"
O's sticker fascination! We took the opportunity to teach her the colors with these stickers, she managed to claim all the "tickas" were "geen!"
No, we did not just recently visit the farm.....this is a picture of our neighbor's duck.....(they have 10! plus a rabbit, turtle, cat and dog) Last spring, there were two ducks that hatched ducklings and C-man and I had the opportunity to watch the ducklings peck their way out of the eggs.....at a distance......since mommy duck was very protective! We've got "bird's eye view" (ha!) this year from our window. Each day we watch Momma duck to see how her eggs are doing....Today, she took a break from squatting on her eggs and I counted 20! Not sure if all of these eggs will turn into ducklings????? But it's been fun watching and waiting......it's like free discovery channel out our side window. There's another Momma duck behind this one that is in the window well and is sitting on a nest of eggs, not as many as this Mommy's...........it's like having a farm right here in the city.....(not sure if it is even with city ordinance, but we wouldn't tattle on them...they are wholesome people....and we enjoy their love of animals and nature!)
Peek! I just realized I have never taken a picture of O with her usual blanket positioned on her head. This must be a position of comfort or she likes the feeling of wearing a veil? She walks around like this, she sleeps like this, this is miss-O and her "ni-ni" and she wouldn't have it any other way!
