Day One of the Big Move

Peyton obviously cherishes his T Shirts. Like his Mom. I could not walk past the stack of them (without second thoughts) from my own closet, that had to go a few years ago. SO, I faithfully ironed on the identifying patches to Peyton’s wardrobe, and in some cases supplemented the ID with sharpie markers….to make

Bed Bugs and Beyond

My Grandmother used to say “Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite” Then she would sprinkle holy water on me. Why are we hearing so much about bed bugs these days? Is it because Bed Bath and Beyond wants to sell us expensive mattress pads and pillow covers? I took a chance and bought

Swim Piggy Swim!!!!

WHAT? Is everybody out to get Miss Piggy?  We almost took her to the coast with us…….When I saw these signs in the windows of all the bait shops, I was glad that she was safe at home! All I could think of was it must have been a long time since we had gone

Afternoon at the Museum

Peyton and I were lucky to have been able to take a trip to the Art Institute of Chicago while we were visiting the golden boy, Christopher. We were given a wonderful tour guided by Annie and joined by her Mom, Debby! It was incredible to see so many historical paintings in one place. I

This sign was hanging in Jimmy Johns in Chicago. I told them that I had a cute little pot-bellied pig. They offered to give me some day old bread for her, but I knew what they were thinking……They just wanted to fatten her up……..This little piggy stays home!!!!

Ready for Ohio Winters

Does this hat make my ears look smaller? My Mom is getting ready for the winters in Athens, Ohio.She set the air conditioner to 0 degrees today. The temperature outside here in South Texas is 100 degrees. My friend Debby hand made this hat for me. She said that Spooky (a mangy mutt) could wear

Donkey Coffee

Donkey Coffee is the best place to hang out on a hot day in the summer in Athens, Ohio. The couches are comfortable to say the least. I imagine the cold days of winter will make this spot just as inviting. That’s where I will be in about one month. Just call me the Donkey

The new Digs

No dog hair, no whinnys MEOWS, or barks…..here is a peek at Peyton’s new home for the next four years…..
