Basil

My new friends Jeylan and Johnny came over with a little Lulu-like dog named Basil.  Basil is small and quiet and super soft.  He was also scared, but I kind of liked him.  I really liked Jeylan!

Jeff Buckley tried to oust me from her lap, but I am the master lapsitter, as you can see.  That is Basil sticking out of Johnny's arm.  Isn't he wee & sweet?

Little Brother!

I am both happy and unhappy to announce the arrival of my little brother, Jeff Buckley!  The reasons I am happy include

He likes to play:

He's littler than me so I can boss him around...sort of:

He let me keep my nap spot:

The reasons I am unhappy include

He's a little puppy brat who bites me (no pictures)

He gets a lot of attention because he's pretty cute:

Hmmph.  Well, I guess he can stay...for now.

Visiting: the Good, the Bad and the Downright Ugly

We've been to Auntie Edit and Uncle Jason's place twice this month!  The first time was the 4th of July, or as Jeremy, Maple and Rowan call it, "Horrible Boomy Awfulness Day".  Mommy didn't take any pictures, but imagine a lovely day of lapsitting and a thunderstorm that drove everyone to cuddle together on (or semi-under) the couch. 

Yesterday's visit was different:

There was some lapsitting, but mainly to escape the big dogs and the small, redheaded boy who kept picking me up and putting me on his mom's lap (the mom was nice).  As usual, I refused to eat my food in hopes of being given something better.  Pretty much all I got was bread.  Hmmph.

Auntie Edit was mostly busy cooking, and even before that she was cuddling Jeremy (!):

or this guy:

who can't even go out into the yard to potty by himself.  Disappointing.  And Daddy, well he was the worst:

I'm barely speaking to him today.

Post-Vacation Lull

Mommy and Daddy visited Lego for a while and they didn't bring me anything!  Not even a minifig that looks like me.  I am still pouting.  However, it was my duty to help Daddy get over his jetlag, and that's what I did.

Even if it meant I got a bit squashed on the couch.

Dance Party

When Snow's here, we work a lot of playtimes into our day. 

Snow thinks it might be time to...you know...

Think about maybe...

Get ready to...

Play!

Weather

It's lovely and overcast right now, so Jeremy and I got into our icky weather poses:

and:

Come on, rain!  My new flowers need you.

Visitor-in-a-Box

A few weeks ago, Mommy brought home a little animal.  She didn't make any noises except for some scratch scratch sounds in her box of leaves.  She ate a strawberry.  She walked outside.  To me, she looked like this:

although I did get a quick closeup before she disappeared.  It was a bit blurry (like Sasquatch!):

I still don't know what she was.  Can you help me?
