Mr. Cutter's Word of the Day.

Bonjour. ~Mr. Cutter here~

Today's word of the day is:

SCRUMDILEICIOUS:

The smells that come out of the kitchen sometimes....

Then having to wait until in the living room while Mom and our Uncle Jeff sit at the table and eat.

It was worth the wait!!

Baby Chiggen, Twice Baked Taters and Garlic Bread.

Is your Smell-O-Meter™ working overtime?
Yep, that is Bacon there too!

Sorry pups, there was nothing left to share after the Papillon Pack™ snarfed up the goodies.  BOL.

Adieu ~Mr. Cutter~

Bonjour ~Mr. Cutter~

Today's word of the day is:

HOME:  Mom is finally back from her work trip, and there is no better place for her to be than at HOME with all of us pups!!

Boy did she smell weird when she came home.  Good thing we recognized her, because she had a funk from  a days worth of travel, and I have to say even I didn't want to roll around in any of that smell.  BOL.

Soggy, salty, smelly = miserable.

After a shower and tossing everything into the wash (and the above mentioned into the garbage) we recognized our real Mom smell.  That is worth sniffing many times over.  It's been a long 8 days and I'm going to be happy to snuggle with Mom tonight!!

Bonjour ~Mr. Cutter~

Today's word of the day is:

CRAFTY < > CRAFTING:  An example of me being "Crafty".

Back from barking at everything!

 An example of Mom "Crafting".

These are all postage stamps from around the world on Scrabble™ tiles.

Hi Gloss applied.

A new batch of tiles ready to go.  One is not an actual postage stamp.  Want to guess which one?

This one is just card stock.
Nice huh.

Not the same way I'd spend my day, but I did need a nap or more.

Bonjour ~Mr. Cutter~

Today's word of the day is:

LAWN VACUUM:  When Mom just tosses stuff she yanks out of the ground, telling us to "Get out of the Garden", "Stop walking on the flowers", "Just....just....stop already!!!".  Then she pulls out this atrocious machine and pushes it around the yard.  She then yanks it's hind end off, walks it over to the yard waste bin, shakes the hind end off, banging it around in the bin until it heaves up all it's waste.  Then she repeats until our puffy grass is sheared to a level(ish) suiting for human toes to enjoy walking around on.

Bonus word of the day.

REVENGE:  Best served warm.  Because who else doesn't feel the need for Privacy Please after all that racket?

Bonjour ~Mr. Cutter~

Today's word of the day is:

CATCH UP (not Ketchup or catsup):  When the world has gone so fast that you have to CATCH UP the rest of the world on how fast it has been.

1. OPOSSUM:  The critter has been cruising through our back yard every single night!  We can smell it.  A week ago when it was pouring down rain Pepper and I found the Opossum intruder in the upper garden.  Mom knew from the barking and how hard it was raining something was going on, so she slogged out with a flashlight and counted.  One.  Two.  Three.  Beady pair of eyes.  One too many for the barking going on.  Reluctantly we came back inside after much yelling.  Rubbed out wet bodies all over the carpet and couches and rubbed muddy paws on the bed.  Ruin our fun in the name of "safety"!
2. The Parents are back and cannot believe the progress I have made since I was rescued.  Mom's Dad was so happy that I actually got on his lap and was friendly.  No food involved either!  It's been a long 4 year journey for me to become the annoying Mr. Cutter I charm the world with.
3. YARDWORK:  This appears to be what Mom calls popping up out of bushes and flowers to yell at us when we are investigating sniffs from above Opossum point number 1 above.
4. VITAMIN Dog:  That inviting smell of warm sunshiny dog fresh from rolling in a mysterious smell from nature.  (Probably dried up worms or slugs - odor-licious bonus).
5. CITRUS FACE:  What happened to me after I snuck off with half a squeezed lime that slipped out of Mom's hands onto the floor.

For the record.
This is a picture of Mom's face after I snagged the lime and ran.

That's a lot of words for me, so I need to go BARK at something now!

Today's word of the day is:

PAWFERCT!!:  Pups the weather was a bit overcast this morning, but we all headed out to Snoopervise™ the yardwork.

Yard Work Boots.

Do you see flowers?  Or a Sneaky Cloud Dragon?

This is the top of the "Morning Wood Tree™"
Sure you think it's so pretty....

Poor Helena the Toad .
Magnolia flowers dumped and swept onto her for weeks now.
Let it be known, I never pee on Helena.
Even though she is right next to Morning Wood Tree™

This Magnolia will stain a deck faster than a rain cloud passes through Seattle.
*Addendum* we mean overnight.

This mess.
We bring as much of it in as we can!.
BOL.

Are you looking for your PNW Rhodie update?  We'll keep you pupdated as we roll into July with the colors that ka-pow in our yard.  We have over 17 different Rhodies or Azaleas to watch flower.

This is off the deck and one of the first to bloom.

This one is across the yard.
If you are tall enough can see from the kitchen window.

Or just go outside and take a gander.
It's about 15 feet high and only just starting to turn bright pink.

Did you pups know we have Chiggens?

These are called Hen and Chiggens.
I know.
Can't even reach that high to pee on them.  

They are guarded by the Mighty Tree Frog.

They can colonize as well.

Don't mess with this Frog.

Did you know we can actually get Scooter to come outside for some fresh air on occasion?  It's true, we have some documented proof.

This grass is as fluffy as I am.

Nothing going over there.

I could be watching Scooby Doo.

Still nothing going on over there.

I''m taking my leaf and going back inside.
'cept I'm headed the wrong way to go inside.

  Did you know I'm almost always in trouble?  I'll be the first to tell you it's not MR. CUTTER she's yelling out the door all the time!!

Can't even walk in the weed patch anymore.
Stupid Peonies are sprouting up.

Walk of Shame 2014.
Can't even bark at the kids barking at me.

Can't pee here.

Fine, I'll "Move Along".

Can't a pup get a moment alone with his "Waste Management" Privacy Please™ time?

The Meatz™ is smelling good and we'll keep you updated on tomorrow.  The yard has to get mowed and stuff.  Green paws for all the Papillon Pack!

Today's word of the day is:

URKA GURKA: When your tummy doesn't feel good for some unknown reason and you feel the need to eat grass until this happens.

Warning - graphic image.

URKA GURKA x TWO.

Bluch - still feel queasy.

I think I'll just stay here for the rest of the day and listen to my stomach talk to me.

Mr. Cutter's Irish Words of the Day©.

Bonjour ~Mr. Cutter~

Today's Irish Words of the Day are in honor of St. Patrick's Day.  Where everyone has to wear some green or get licked by a dog.

BOG:  This is what happens to our backyard when it rains for days and days in a row.  Sometimes ducks even land and splash around in the bog if it stays long enough.

HOOLIGAN:  That would be me up at the top of the hill fence barking at the neighbor dog.

BLARNEY:  What Mom says I am full of asking to go outside just one more time.

LUCK O' THE IRISH:  Losing my bark collar while I was on a Stayvacation and Mom was at the beach.  Score!

Adieu ~Mr. Cutter~

Sorry for the late post, someone forgot to hit the publish button!  BOL.

Bonjour ~Mr. Cutter~

Today's word of the day is:

MORNING WOOD:  The tree right off the deck we boys go right to when we first go out and have privacy please time.  Wood Would you like to see a picture of it?  I know Zaidie does, but he's a boy who wood would appreciate the Morning Wood tree.

Ha ha ha - just kidding.
The sun never shines like this in Seattle

This is a seasonal bonus and everypup must take advantage of any opportunity if it is left alone for a single second.

Seasonal Morning Wood tree.

One only hopes that morning brings something like this.  Let the artwork begin!

Good thing it was the end of the Season.
Mom would have freaked if she had to set this tree up.

Actually if you look to the right of the Christmas tree in both picures you can see our Morning Wood tree.  It's a Magnolia tree with those big pink flowers.














Adieu ~Mr. Cutter~

Also - these are not current weather pictures, we pulled these from archives and Mom now realizes she really only takes pictures of trees when they are blooming and that usually doesn't mean taking a picture of the tree trunk.  BOL.

Bonjour ~Mr. Cutter~

I see you looking at me.

Today's word of the day is:

YARDWORK:  For me this just involves barking at any noise, running from one side all the way to the other side, chasing Squirrels and Crows.  Mom did a bunch of raking and lifting and filling the yard bin.  I think I have the better idea of what to do in a yard.  BOL.

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION:  Yes, we found one since Dogster is going out of business shutting their fun pages.  There's a paw in the eye for you!
