Flower Friday on Sunday!

Hi evfurryone! Mom took some pictures Friday but didn't have a chance to post them until today. First are some pics of what's going on in the yard...

Mom LOVES hummingbirds! They are at the feeder all day...

Time to lie down fur a sunbathe...

Ahhhh....

Enough wiff the camera, mom!

I heard something.

Head tilt.

WHAT??? Why you keep taking pictures?

It's not easy being dis good looking. The athletic physique, the rippling muscles, the shiny fur, the approachable yet formidable gaze...

Yep. It's hard work being dis suave...

Time fur a nap...

Why we are cheering for Spain in the World Cup

One word. Iker Casillas. Ok, that's two words. He is the goalie fur Spain and my mom has been sort of in love wiff him since we watched the World Cup four years ago. Well, another reason she likes Spain is because she visited Spain five years ago and loved it!

Iker is the one in blue:

Iker is a furry good goalie.

And most photogenic, too. Oh my...

Oh dear...

No matter what angle...

We give Iker thumbs up!!!

ESPANA!!!

Ok mom, I think everybuddy gets the idea.

Yeah, yeah, he's furry handsome, we know!!

Oh, come on now mom!! Dis is not acceptable!!

Who's blog is dis, anyway???

Oh brother, my mom just fainted. Are you ok, mom? Iker is asking how many fingers is he holding up..?

And another thumbs up for Iker!

GOOOOOOO SPAIN!!!!

So now you know the real reason my mom cheers fur Spain. I like it when mom is happy, so I cheer fur them too. Although I'm kind of embarrassed that mom posted these pictures on MY blog, but what can I do? She is the one wiff the thumbs!

Look mom, I has a nice head shot too.

I may have short legs, and my head might be shaped like a lightbulb, but I'm a lot more handsome than Mr. Casillas. Can he beat my ears?? I didn't think so...

I've got the puppy dog eyes down to a T...

Luv,

Cloud

PS. Next week mom will post some pictures from her trip to Spain.

Look what was in my yard!!!

A few days ago, mom was making dinner and thought, "why am I hearing a turkey?" and then looked out the window and saw THIS and ran to get the camera!

I know a lot of people have wild turkeys in their yards all the time, but this is the first time in the 2 years we've lived here that I've seen one in our neighborhood (although there are plenty in the fields near us) let alone, that it came over our 6 foot fence!

I was barking like crazy, and REALLY wanted to go outside and chase it. Mom made me go sit on the sofa, even though I REALLY didn't want to. Can you believe it?!? :-(

She just took pictures of it walking around, while it CLEARLY is saying here, "Cloud! PLEASE come outside and chase me around the yard. It will be SO much fun..."

And there I was, stuck on the sofa during dis once in a lifetime moment...

Not cool, mom. Not cool...

Finally, the turkey had enough walking around and flew over the fence.

Mom says wild turkeys are very beautiful and intelligent birds and are fun to watch. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

The good news is, she said if we start being invaded by wild turkeys and they become a pest, then I will be allowed to go outside and scare them away. But for now, dis one got a free pass.

Grrrrrrrr...

Luv,

Cloud

I'm still here!!!

OMD, I'm so embarrassed that it's been so long since I've posted, and that I've hardly been able to comment on any of my friends blogs. Mom and I feel really bad about that, especially since we appreciate it when friends take the time to comment on ours. It's just such a busy time of year right now. Mom says we will try to stop by some blogs to say hi dis afternoon...

See how sad I look...

Do you forgive me???

Mom and I are doing great, (except for an accident where mom got poked in the eye by a branch and tore out a chunk of her cornea last week. OUCH!! The good news is it's healed up just fine!)

Here are some pictures from today of me playing in the yard. Here I am doing squirrel patrol by keeping squirrels off the fence:

Sniffing...

Patrolling/being cute:

And this is just a weird picture mom took of me shaking with my tongue sticking out. BOL, I look crazy!

Have a wonderful day, evfurryone!

Video tribute to Max

Happy Memorial Day! During moms free time last week, she worked on dis video that shows the progression of Max's portrait, and it ended up turning into a tribute to Max, his mom, and the love that surrounds the pet blogging community.

(If you want to see it in High Definition, click on the link to go to the video page.)

Much love from Cloud and his mom!

Drinking Fountain

Hi evfurryone! Here is a picture of me drinking from the new drinking fountain in the back yard that my dad made (mom helped too, BOL!) Mom says it is NOT a drinking fountain, it's just a fountain, but try telling that to the birds. They like it so much that I decided to try a drink, too. It tasted a little bit like feathers...

Mom is so busy right now she's not even sure which way is up. She hasn't had much time to be on the computer this week... hopefully we'll have time to blog next week. But we wanted to wish you a happy holiday weekend! Tell your pawrents to be safe!!

Run free, sweet Max!

My dear friend Max has made his departure. He is running and playing wiff so many loved ones at the Rainbow Bridge. I hope he finds my brudder Benny up there - he can show him all the good places to eat, and which buffets have the best steak, and which fields have the most birdies to sniff...

We will always love you Max. It's been an honor to call you and your sweet mama our friends!

Life is short. Love each other.

Flower Friday, and baby bird!

Hi furiends! Check out dis baby Robin that sat on our patio chair today. Isn't he cute? I love dis baby Robin and wanted to play wiff him, but mom said no. Mom says he/she is called a fledgling because it has feathers coming in to replace the floof.

Here are a couple flowers pics from around the yard today:

And finally, a few pictures of me fur your viewing pleasure. Mom says I'm even cuter than a baby Robin...

Have a great weekend, efurryone!!!!

Poem and Video

Hi furiends! Mom has a lot of projects going on, so my blog time is kind of hit and miss these days. Sorry we can't visit your blogs every day, but we will try our best to stop by and say "hi!" when we get the chance.

I wanted to share a quick poem I wrote. I'm sure many pups feel the same way...

It's been rainy fur days

The weather is cold

Holding my pee

Really gets old

By Cloud

And now here is a video mom took a few days ago of one of our walks on a very pretty bike trail near our house. You can see me leave pee-mail, some sniffing action, cute close-ups, AND I get to see HORSES! I was furry good and didn't even bark at them, mom was so proud of me!

I hope you enjoyed the poem and video.

Luv,

Cloud
