Madi: Mom wants you all to meet Charlie

This is Charlie. He lives on our street. I have not met him; however, everytime

Mom takes a walk she comes back talking about Charlie. He stays in the house

unless his peeps are in the yard. Mom just happened to have her camera today.

When he sees Mom coming he gently walks up to her for a head rub.

His coat is absolutely like silk.

Mom says she has never heard him bark.

She beleives he is some type of bird dog?? Any thoughts??

Charlie is one lucky dog. His man-peep told Mom

that he was a rescue from the SPCA. The original

(bad) owners told the SPCA he was ill behaved.

That is a BIG FAT LIE, (that is how Mom talks when she is mad) shame on them.
The folks at the SPCA said he was one of the best

dogs they ever took into the Shelter

Mom says she always tells Charlie 'he is looking

very handsome today and thanks him for

coming up to greet her'.

Bye Charlie Mom will see you soon.

Where is the Kitty

Can you find Madi in this picture?

(Click on the pictures to enlarge them)

This time of year, one of her favorite spots to
sleep is under the comforter in our extra bedroom.

She worms her way behind the pillows

then wiggles under the comforter.

Yep that big lump is the Diva.

Many thanks to Madi's Dad for taking this picture.

I say hire him, Madi says fire him. He cannot keep a secret!!!

Madi's Level of curiosity is low for a CSI agent

FROM MOM:
Looks like another mystery for CSI Madi, or so I thought!!
Thankfully there was nothing perishable or dangerous in it.

Notice the bag is from the our trip to Biltmore. We returned on 10/19/09 she decided to
inspect it on 10/28/09...11 days later.
Madi is a paper bag freak; but extremely afraid of plastic bags one crinkle from
a plastic bag and she'll bolt.
I left it right there for her expecting her to jump right in it head first.
Nope once again the best laid plans of mom were foiled.

From Madi:
I like to pace myself on my activities. I'm a busy Diva Island Princess. I have
lots of blogs to read and pictures to pose for, no use to do everything at once.
I learned that from Dad he is retired. He says it is best
to ponder everything before taking action. We
believe there is always an alternative to avoid wasting our energy.

I pass by it umpteen times a day. Time to check it out.
Yes it was left there to test the level of her curiosity...
Evidently she has none.

No sense in wasting all my CSI skills on an empty shopping bag.
I don't see or smell anything of interest. There are bigger
fish to fry. Yummy did I say fish???
Maybe I'll jump on the 7' secretary again!!!
Everyone have a good weekend,
Madi and Mom

Madi: Meet the little green man from Mars

I might be 7.5 years old...but I have my moments of pure kittenhood.
I go to my toy basket, look around for just the right toy..

ah here it is my Green man from Mars...Mom says I like it because it is small....

which makes carrying it around much easier. I like swatting it then
watching it spin, turn and bump...I'm a closet NASCAR FANNY

I watch it carefully, not letting it out of my sight then...

POUNCE...I'm on it and it is no longer a threat

In spite of my best attack, it has mutated...behind me in the form of a

little green ring.

Madi presents: Lake Johnson @ fall

In Mom's continuing quest for fall colors, she and Dad took a trip out to Lake Johnson. Unfortunately, it was cloudy but Mom (bless her heart) found the silver lining in the clouds or so she thought.
From a distance, she thought this was an ice cream machine. As you can see it says, 'Live Bait and Tackle'. Dad offer her money for the machine but she declined. What a guy.
LOL mom you are so silly and you say I'm always thinking of food!!!
Although paddle boat season is over, they are very pretty sitting there in a row

Mom said she 'was sorry' the sun wasn't out...the colors would have been prettier

Lake Johnson has a beautiful covered porch with rocking chairs.

It was a little too cool and windy to sit, rock and ponder.

There were lots of puppies and their people walking on the boardwalk. Sorry no pictures of the puppies. Mom thought that it would be very rude to take pictures of puppies and their peoples w/o their consent. If she had asked every people for permission, she said she would still be there.
