Daddy's Hard Work

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

This has been a long holiday weekend in the Phillips' household, but there hasn't been much holiday...just a lot of yardwork.

Daddy has put out 10 trees, new stone, mulched flower beds, trimmed bushes, and planted flowers (Mommy helped a little). Here are some pictures of all his hard work.

See those rocks...Daddy had to dig up those boulders to plant the tree.

Welcome to the Club!

Our cousin Linus became a member of the mobile grooming club this week. Little buddy, Maddux and I will shoot straight with you...this torture chamber on wheels will show up in the driveway about once a month.

It's not great, but the mobile grooming is better than being dropped off at some flea bag brick and morter location to be stuck in a cage the better part of 4 hours. Plus, you are forced to watch other dogs be dipped, clipped, and dried. Be thankful it comes to your house!

Don't get too comfortable with that turtle...I'll be back in a few weeks, and I'll expect you to share!

Today, Maddux and I saw the mobile van pull up in our driveway. Now we look like this:
