It's a dog's life

These pictures of our Rufmeister were all taken in the same day. I am not sure if he was depressed or pouting about something. Don't know what all the yawning is about . . .he seems to get plenty of rest And more rest . . . he decided he doesn't answer to 'Rufus' anymore, he changed his name to 'Eat' so when we call for Rufus, he doesn't even lift his head, when we call for 'Eat' he's there in just a second.The weather is getting nicer and nicer so we started (thank God we are actually done) to plant some flowers around the house. The little red plant in the corner is a left over from last year, all the other ones didn't make it thru the winter.

We made the little area in front of the house much smaller, so it will be easier to keep up with.

I planted the same flowers as last year because they really seemed to adjust to my watering techniques. I tend to forget all about them and then they get lots of water at once LOL It rained for the past 2 days, so I don't have to worry about watering for at least another day. Our dryer stopped working the other day. We still had our good ole german 'Waeschestaender' that Emile wanted to buy in Germany before we moved here. I haven't really used it a lot, but it sure came in handy.

We had someone come out to check on the dryer, and nothing was really wrong with it, the guy found a relay in the back that was de-entergized (whatever the heck that means) and didn't even charge us for coming out. I think I may be using my Waeschestaender once in a while anyway, at least for towels and sheets. I forgot how good the stuff smells when its dried outside and we'll save on gas, too.
