Social Distancing!

4/18/2020

Ms. Donkey

Beth didn't take me to her doctor's appointment, but she took my friend. She was actually breaking rules, because you weren't allowed to bring anyone else with you.

I was a little jealous. Then, Beth reminded me that Ms. Donkey was her "mascot" 4 years ago, when she was being treated for cancer.

Years ago, Beth took Ms. Donkey with her, to kick Cancer's bootie! Beth said that today, she needed Ms. Donkey in the medical building, to kick Coronavirus' bootie!

Me and Ms. Donkey

Ms. Donkey and Beth seemed to be fine after the appointment, but I don't know if they're contaminated or not.

I told Ms. Donkey, she needs to stay 6 inches away from me for 2 weeks. It's 6 feet for humans... but we are very small.

Jellybean Easter 2020!

4/12/2020

No Eggs or Chocolate

There are no colored eggs or chocolate bunnies in this house. This year everyone is Sheltering in Place, because of Coronavirus.

Luckily Beth bought jellybeans the very last time she walked in a store. That was on March 15.

Yay for that! Happy Easter!

Pandemic Picnic

4/9/2020

Lakeside Lunch

This April, I've been "Staying At Home" with Beth and Don. Most Schools, stores and restaurants are closed all over the country. People are staying home.

But Beth wanted a picnic for her birthday. She and Don packed up food and chairs and went to their neighborhood park. I came out of the camera bag and smelled the fried chicken.

The lake was pretty. The food was good. The people, far away on walking paths didn't bother them. But, I heard Beth say. "This doesn't seem very relaxing."

Our peaceful, pandemic picnic didn't last very long.

St. Patrick's Day at Home

3/17/2020

No Parties No Parades

This year all parades and parties were cancelled. We had to play at home, with green things.

Actually, we usually stay at home on St. Patrick's Day. It really wasn't that different.

But it was just weird and sad to know why people were staying home. I do not like this Coronavirus stuff at all.

Sending Green Kisses to everyone!

Statues in Montgomery, Alabama

3/1/2020

Doggy Ears

When on a walk in Montgomery, Beth stopped to look at two dog statues. She posed me, right between the dog's ears.

I kind of like posing on statures. It gives me a different perspective. I get to see what the statue sees.

At first, the dog statues looked peaceful and relaxed. But I think they were really on guard, ready to pounce on anyone approaching the grand mansion. Beth and I decided not to hang around.

A Friendlier Statue

In another part of town I found a statue that I liked better

This statue had a kind face and a fun little handbag. I climbed right up and looked around.

Rosa Parks

I looked down the street, just like Rosa Parks would have 65 years ago. When she waited for the bus, what was she thinking?

Rosa Parks was not a large or loud person. But people took notice, when Ms. Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus. I felt lucky to spend a little time with the First Lady of the Civil Rights! She helped me feel a little braver and stronger!

Mardi Gras in Nola!

2/25/2020

I Love the Colors of Mardi Gras!

Who doesn't love a little purple, green and gold?

Beth didn't let me out of the camera bag, when we went to the parades. Those flying beads are dangerous! But I had fun with them later.

Baby Rescue

After playing in the beads, I met a friend.

I spotted the little baby in the King Cake! I had to help my friend climb out of the sugary treat and then we played.

I love celebrations!

Academy Awards 2020!

2/9/2020

Celebrating!

It's always more fun to watch the Red Carpet and the Awards, with some champagne and a friend.

It's extra fun, when your friend's name is Oscar! Good luck to everyone tonight!

Christmas Clean-Up

1/3/2020

Take Down the Tree?

I was angry when Beth said it was time to take down the tree. I like climbing in the branches and smelling the pine.

Beth said it was time. Real trees are a lot of work, she said.

They fall over... and they lose their needles. The ornaments slide off the droopy branches and break.

Cozy

But it won't be cozy anymore, I reminded her.

It will be boring and it will smell like couches and tables.

Pine Play!

Beth got all excited when she saw how many pine needles had fallen from the tree. She said she could stuff a large pillow.

She's really good with that positive distraction stuff. Next thing you know, I was playing in a mountain of pine needles and having a pretty good time.

But I still don't like it, when holidays end.

Merry New Year!

1/1/2020

Welcome 2020!

Today is the start of a new year!

I'm ready for some new adventures! I'm also ready to enjoy my new musician friends.

2019?

I guess I'm supposed to reflect on the past year, as I move into this new one. But, that would take so long...

Let me just say, the year was good and December was nice. I had a good Christmas. We spent it in New Orleans and Beth decorated the hotel room with a tiny Cajun Nativity Set. She read Cajun Night Before Christmas.

"Petit Ours"

I got to join in. I didn't have a French name-tag like the others, but Beth called me Petit Ours. I think that's French for Little Bear. I felt rather LARGE for a change.

2019 ended nicely. Now I'm ready for 2020!

Happy New Year!

Happy Turkey Day!

11/28/2019

Make A Wish Time

My favorite part of Thanksgiving comes after the feasting! Today after the meal was done, I got the wishbone.

Ms. Donkey and I made wishes and had some fun pulling. Guess what? We couldn't break it. I think that means, both our wishes will come true!
