Tales - And Tails - From the Weekend

Ha roo, pups and kit-cats! It's me - Zimmie! Storm said I should fill you in quickly on what all we did for Thanksgiving here at Ao4 HQs. Let's get busy!

We did a lot of giving thanks to God for all our blessings - health, home, family & friends, our US Armed Forces, and many, many other things ... then we did the following:

Ooooh, a green pea!??! I love those things!

I got to have THREE frozen peas. They were incredible! Storm and Dave got a couple, too. Ammy gave hers to me and got an ice cube instead.

Then we did this:

Mmm... Sweet Potato Pie! Mom, don't you need to leave the room?

Sadly, Mom wasn't as forthcoming with the pie as she was with the peas. We moved on to doing this:

Then we all did a lot of this:

Oh! And Mom has moved on to this stage in her Super-Secret Project:

She said she's getting there but still has a long way to go!

What all did you pups and kits do over the weekend?

Play bows,
Zim

  1. Great post!! I love the look of the pie too! It sounds like you all had a great time and your mom's project is really beautiful!! Mom went out to eat with her friend and I just stayed home and napped until she came back and then it was play time!! Treat time!!! Holly and her mom Deborah

  2. Yesterday we went black Friday shopping at Lowes and Petco. We got to go inside both stores! At Lowes, we bought some flashlights for the humans. We heard people whispering that we were beautiful and so well behaved and that made Mom really happy. Then we went to Petco for some presents for the kitties in our family. We weren't as good there because there were too many smells. Dad tried to get Steve excited about a hamster, but them Mom told Dad "No!", so he stopped.

  3. Great pics and that pie looked good enought to eat!
    You know Zimmie we reckon that is why us dogs are so healthy - cos we never get any of the really yummy stuff.
    It is very bad for you and the peas were a healthier alternative!
    Glad you had a good weekend. We have just come back from a nice walk and guess what? It didnt rain!!!
    love and kisses

I've been doing some nice walks/runs and a little hiking....gotta keep busy, or I eat the house! We're heading out to some lakes soon, no swimming, just hiking around.... Have a fantastic day pals!

  7. Marge has never had peas before. From the sounds of it, maybe she should try them - you guys seemed to like them!

    We stayed in most of the day yesterday, except for a romp down to the beach on the 50' leash.

  8. Looks like you guys all had fun! My parents left me home while they went to visit their parents so all I did was sleep, bark and watch chickens. :)

  9. Peas. I recommend fresh ones. They fall on the floor when they are being podded and are very tasty.

  18. What a busy long weekend you have had. You guys will have to learn to work together to get those yummy things you aren't supposed to eat. You could have Ammy cause a distraction in the other room and then run off with the pie!

  19. That's a lot of fun for all of you at AoF HQ! The photos with the green pea and the pie is so cute!

    We are looking forward to your Mom's secret project. It's a holiday here in the Phils on Monday so we are enjoying a long weekend here so we're definitely looking forward to more playtime and dreading B-A-T-H time.

    By the way, what is black friday shopping? Princess' eyes sparkled at the shopping part. Usually means that Mommy brings home toys for us to enjoy.

    Thankies for the visit and we cherish your friendships.

  20. Oh, by the way, Dave, hope it's alright with you that we also follow your Mom's other blog. Mommy really wants to get one of the wonderful bags. I wonder if there is one for me?! Weeeeee

  21. Minus the green peas and the sweet potato pie, we did the same. In other words, lots of hikes and lots of snoozing.

  22. Wow, busy weekend huh? but it sure looks like fun! Here there's been lots of rain but i still get plenty walks and tons of lazing around the house with bits of snacks...and tiny treats...and a long BATH on Sunday..!

    Thanks for sharing your day!!

    Cheers,

  23. Yum! That sweet potato pie looks so delicious!!!

    I'm not such a big fan of peas, but I do love ice cubes! :)

    Mom had to work yesterday so no black Friday sales for us.

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!

  25. well peas and me are not good friends, too delicate a subject for a pleasant comment on an excellent blog!!

    Suffice to say, apparently I do NOT digest them well.

    No idea.

    But I am very much in favour of peas. I like peas when I am snoozing, peace is a rare commodity around here, so a bit of peas - wonderful and condusive to a good snooze.

    or have I got confused yet again?

    Peas let me know if I have.

    My J has also replied ........but says she knows your Ma is one busy person, so as the Aussies say, "No worries about replying" as long as your Ma knows we have replied.

    Mucho love and peas. Or peace.

  28. OMD.... the secret project looks FABOOLOUS! That pie looks to die for: my mommy was ready to lick the computer screen! BOL!

    I spent the weekend boarded (and bored!) @ the vet's office, but it's all good now that I am home!
