in hot pursuit

I talked Beach into helping me make secret cookies for BC while he was out in a wind storm mowing the lawn for us. 

Boo & BC at the Snow Bird Blues Fest 2011

She was really cute about the whole thing wrote him a little thank you card and placed it by the plate for him to find.  After he was done, found the treat, had a few, and thanked us he went back out to plant some new butterfly bushes along the fence line. 

Beach muddled upstairs to find me.  "Mom, now he's out there digging holes in the rain he must want pie or something.  Boys just don't know when they are pushing their luck."

Perhaps I am not the person to be in charge of her view of the opposite sex...

"Mom, the bad thing about having a dog is then you see other dogs and you think they are cuter than yours.  You just want to keep them all."

(a mom speaking but not thinking) "I know, Honey.  It is the exact same way with Boys."
