Terrier Tuesday -- The Toys Edition

 

Dear Readers,

I hope you will forgive me for being late at my blogging today, but it turns out the camera battery was dead and we had to charge it so we could post pictures of me, since we know that's mostly what you come here for.

 

 

And then, once we got the battery charged, for some strange reason the photos would not upload to the computer from the camera. So we had to figure that all out. 

All of this was interspersed with Alpha shouting WHOOPEEE! every now and again today. I don't really know what she was whoopeeing about, but she did say, "FLUSH THAT RUSH" a few times, and she was giggling and typing frantically a number of times, as well. 

While she's been so entertained, I've been busy taking naps in the sun and playing with my minion out in the snow.

 

My minion, I tell ya, I just love that thing. Lots of other toys have come and gone, but that minion is still hangin' on. That's what you get with a well-handmade toy from a loving auntie, and not some piece-of-crap plastic thing made in China.

In her spare time, Alpha has been busy looking at dangerous videos that get her all up in arms. 

Like this one, for instance:

Don't be getting any bright ideas, Alpha!

Love,

 

Mr. Jefferies

I was wondering where you were today, Mr. J. Thank heaven that all the camera stuff worked out well 'cuz I really like seeing you playing in that white stuff with your minion. You're right - a well made toy is a joy.

Perhaps you should point out any little thing that Alpha leaves out of place instead of putting it away, that might cure her of her bright idea. You have to admit though, that was one cute dog.

A good minion is hard to find...

Nice break on super Tuesday. Lord knows we need to smile as much as we can today! Who makes us smile more than you, Mr. J?

[Debi]

Mr. Jeffries,
You must have noticed that he is only cleaning up after himself?

[Mary K. in Rockport]

If only we could get our kids to do that by showing them a leash and promising a "walkie."

Hello, darlin'!

I am so glad that your minion is still keeping you company. I still remember knitting him for you and hoping he would survive that first year with you.

Mr.Jefferies, you're so fetching in red!
You're a lucky lad having Cookie for an auntie!
Hey, you can pick your toys up too, see how much fun that dog was having? He was loving it!

Love the red sweater. Lookin' good! The minion is such a cherished toy in our house, too. And, I love the golden retriever. So wish I could train Grover to do that, but it's too late. Hugs, Mr. J.

I love the golden. I would ask Victor to put his toys away, but we don't have a box for them. No need to make him frustrated (though I do get a bit grumpy when I step on his bone. That thing hurts!).

I love the golden. I would ask Victor to put his toys away, but we don't have a box for them.

Mr. Jefferies, you are as cute as a bug, but true confessions time here: sometimes I come by to read about Alpha too. I miss you guys!
