Oh, all right, you can also see the dumb fountain that Alpha spent the whole day Saturday setting up.
You see, first she had to clean out the new screened porch and cart all the house plants out there and get everything JUST SO, and then she just plopped and listened to the water for the next, like, 72 hours.
She calls this Her Little Oasis, and she's been sitting out there all the time and eating all her meals there, and...
...she doesn't even play with me AT ALL anymore.
Love,
Mr. Jefferies
Poor Mr. Jeffries. ben and Liesl totally feel your pain. Stay cute!

Mr J, I'm sure she set it up as a drinking fountain just for you. Such a thoughtful Alpha...

Dear Mr. Jeffries,
I'd go on strike! No more cuteness if Alpha doesn't make you the center of attention.
Love,

Mr Jeffries, I'm still little. Can I play with you?
Wags and bows,
Sam
Also, Ruth totally has the right idea. Just sayin'

Dear Mr. J: I am SO happy that Alpha finally is getting back on track and enabling your weekly post; some of us have been on cute UNDERload for weeks now.
With regard to Alpha and her fountain? It's a drinking fountain for you, dear Mr. J. She's sitting there with her eyes closed listening to music so she won't see you, thereby giving you implicit permission to do what you will with regard to the fountain and digging in her plants ;->
Love and regards!

Don't think of it as The Thing That Took Alpha Away From You. Think of it as The Drinking Fountain That Alpha Bought FOR YOU. You're welcome ;-)

Poor, neglected Mr. J. I wept a little as I read this.

Oh Mr. Jeffries, your cuteness still rules! think of it as a new, improved water dish for you!

Oh, I love my screened porch, and I have a screen curtain with magnets so Ben and Jake can run in and out without my assistance while keeping the bugs out. They spend a lot of time out there surveying their domain, and they can take off after everything instantly!

Dear Mr. Jeffries---
Now that I have upgraded to high-speed internet, I have been able to go through Alpha's blog and watch all the little movies of you she has made. My Yorkie, Hannah, is eleven and would like to know how you feel about cougars.
P.S. The fountain is great, but doesn't hearing the sound of running water all the time make you have to pee?

You have increased my awareness of captioning. I just saw this on the Evan Healey website and had to share. Maybe they have been outsourcing captioning to non native speakers...

A screen porch or 3 season porch is tops on my house wishlist. Even if she won't play with you out there, maybe you can lie on her feet and chill out.
