The leaves from last fall have NOT disappeared, however. Apparently Mom has it on her 'to-do' list. Which means that those leaves might very well be there THIS fall. Heehee!
You might notice the green thing next to the leaves, erm, snow. That means.... On Saturday Mom finally finished raking the yard, 'prepping' it (with this nasty looking cultivator thingy), seeding it, and fertilizing it. Once Mom had done the 'hard' work Saturday afternoon, she decided to zip over to Home Depot to get the grass seed and fertilizer so she could call the yard 'done'. Well, 'done' as far as everything that needed to be finished before she could start watering. And while we still may get snow, the yard is "ready".
Also on Saturday, we had another doggie class. Mom was very busy on Saturday! Abby and I both went, and we split out time between Mom and Jessi (the turkey hotdog lady).

The other dog in class was 'strange'.
Actually, she wasn't strange, just new to us - and a little excited!
But Jessi had good treats, and we can handle Just About Anything with the right treats!

| Hi! Did ya miss me?!? |
Class was actually quite fun (as usual), and we came home worn out (which then allowed Mom to play in the yard).
Today we did our usual walkie thingy, and then Mom and Dad took off to "hit golf balls." I have no idea what these poor golf balls did to Mom and Dad, but apparently the golf balls fought back viciously, and Mom and Dad came home tired, but happy that they hit these poor defenseless balls, and have plans to do it again in the near future.
When they got home, Abby and I got in some bitey-face time while Mom was singing something about how her 'long hair didn't cover up her red neck' (apparently she didn't use enough sunscreen while whacking the poor golf balls and got a little pink).
Good times! And you'll notice from our lawn that were in much better shape than we were last year - but with all our snow gone, why it was high time for Mom to get the seed and fertilizer and stuff down!

Turkey hot dog lady, BOL! I be ALL the doggies like her.
Maybe I should go back to class. I hear that they can teach an old dog new tricks.
Good luck with the yard.

Mom tried growing grass last year... we think the birds ate all the seeds! And of course, mom forgets that you need to actually water these things...

I don't know about your mom, but around here once something goes on "the list" you can forget about it. Those leaves will turn to dirt before she gets them up.

Howdy Fiona and Abby, gee your mum is good. She actually plans stuff to do in the garden? Our mum and dad do it on a 'have to' basis hehehe. Your dog school looks heaps fun especially the treat part. We're glad you had a great weekend. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
Perfect Days. YOu get to go to Home Depto, one of my favorite places, then training class which is held out side. (another of my favorite things to do) and then the zoomies. (outside)
PErfect weather, perfect days, perfect life.
Ha ha ha ha! That golf ball description was just the funniest thing we've read in a while! :-)
That was such a good exercise you were doing in dog class – so important for doggies to learn to walk calmly past other doggies and ignore them, even if the other dogs are acting up! But really hard on us – so we need lots of practice and "proofing" so we can cope when the real situation crops up in real life! Your classes sound fantastic to be practising these sorts of real-life situations, rather than just drilling the same obedience exercises over and over…we wish more classes could be like this rather than spending all their time trying to get dogs to sit straight or make perfect left and right turns in a square… So boring and so un-useful for real life!
Love the pictures of Abby hamming it up for the camera! :-)
