Pretty quiet Canada Day

Emma was helping me wash curtains. She's so nosy and isn't afraid to look into anything! She still kept snooping after I closed the lid. . . .

Squeaker plays with her beloved ball after everyone has gone to bed. She talks to it and bounces it down the stairs, but she also lays on the step and rolls on it a bit too. (Emma knows not to interfere- that ball time belongs to Squeak!)

Look What I found under the Kitchen Table this Morning!

We obviously have a murderer in our house. Yesterday morning, Emma got another robin and ran downstairs with it first thing. Ted said Blood was visible, but he was able to rescue the poor thing and it flew off. (the crime was witnessed)

But when I entered the kitchen this morning, half asleep, I saw something dark under the table and had a second look...... OMG! A dead bird. No guessing who was responsible....Emma came by and gave it a little sniff, as if to say " humpf....you're no fun anymore...."

We once had a cat who actually ate the birds....thank goodness this isn't the case. I mean, this one was a big as Emma!

Coffee Buddies

Ted goes for coffee every morning with Dwight and Scott - I met his buddy Dwight at the Rotary BBQ last evening. Then Ted fell off his chair - now do you think it was a wobbly chair,

or did his buddy interfere, or was he just clumsy? Hmmmm......

More Excitement at the Brooks House

This afternoon Ted & I were working away quietly, when the commotion started....Emma had brought in a mother robin who was screeching for her life! There were feathers all over my kitchen! Emma was very aggressive, and when we tried to rescue the robin, she ran downstairs with it. Ted went down and finally rescued the momma, and she flew away inspite of having most of her tail feathers missing! Emma was NOT impressed that we took away her catch.... er toy...or whatever... she's probably been stalking it for weeks!
