[Augie]

Cold last week here in Central Missouri, followed by jeans and t-shirt weather over the weekend. Mrs. Augie spent quite a bit of time cleaning up tree mess in the yard/burning leaves/etc. My back still isn't up to anything heavy so I mostly laid around and rested my aching bones.

We dropped Mrs. Augie's golf cart off at the Yamaha store Saturday morning so it can get a little bit of TLC while the weather is still cold and nasty. I need to get annual service done on the Kubota zero-turn before the grass starts growing again. Think I'll load it on the trailer after work today and take it to town first thing tomorrow morning.

Howard had another week of being a good boy. He didn't destroy anything and he didn't steal anything off the kitchen counter. He did lose another training collar (2nd one) so I had to buy more of those. I cleaned all of the shredded bedding out of his crate yesterday and gave him a worn-out comforter that would have otherwise been tossed into the garbage. It's still in one piece so I guess he likes it.

OMG what a couple of posers! Howard looks like he is barely tolerating the kitty. Glad you are resting up now. We might hit 40 tomorrow. Might.

Things you never think you’ll see in your lifetime, LOL!

Pretty Kitty. Handsome Howard. *LOVE* It gives me hope that maybe my beautiful ‘Blackfoot’ (Walker dog) will make an OK house pet and NOT kill the cats - if she doesn’t get on the stick and hunt better for her Pa!

She’s afraid of bears, isn’t interested in racoon. He’s going to try her on Bobcat and Coyote after we get another snowfall. He’s promised me I can have her if things don’t work out. ;)

Weather: Zone 5a. We are heading into a warming trend - FINALLY! High 30’s, then 40’s then near 50 by next Monday. I know - False Spring - but it will keep me motivated!
