The importance of lawn maintenance

It rained here EVERY SINGLE DAY last week here in Indy...and our yard looked like a JUNGLE!

Mom said she almost couldn't see me because the grass was so tall!

Do you see the soccer ball?

Yeah, it was hard for us too!

When we got home from Meetup on Saturday...HOLDEN said that HE wanted to mow the yard, but first...he got a few pics of his own feet buried in the pampas....


Holden did SUCH a good job and the yard looks SO great now! We couldn't believe how many living things we found in the yard that day once all the tall grass was moved...toads, grasshoppers and THIS..........

HAHAHA!! Just kidding....Max the Peekapoo puppy came to visit us!

Max belongs to mommy's friend Natalie and he's only a few weeks old!

Here's mommy with Max...how CUTE is he?

I thought he was ok...but wasn't really up for playing. He let me sniff him and check him out, but that was about it.

Maybe we'll be friends when he's bigger.

SO...be sure to check your lawns carefully...you never know WHAT you might find!

Happy Monday everyone!

Daddy is The Lawn Vigilante!

Wow...talk about neighborhood drama! Daddy went kind of nuts yesterday and is now known as the Neighborhood Lawn Vigilante!

We had these neighbors across the street (mommy called them rednecks and other bad words) that moved away and now their house is for sale and empty. Mommy was glad that they moved because they weren't very smart people and their little kids used to wander over to our house in their DIAPERS to play with me! YIKES! They also had a puffy white dog that was always escaping from their house (can't blame him!) and then they would leave him outside in the backyard in the rain so he would bark ALLLLLLLL day! SO...they moved away and now they're trying to sell their house. The problem is that no one has mowed the lawn at their house for a long long time and it was getting really weedy and ugly looking. Mommy meant to get a "before" picture, but you can just imagine...foot tall weeds. Here is a picture of me chewing one of them. It was just ridiculous.

Just LOOK at the size of this thing!



SO...on Sunday, some of the other neighbors and mommy and daddy were outside talking about how bad the redneck people's yard looked and how they were tired of waiting for the Homeowners' Association to do it, so Daddy said he'd had enough of this foolishness and decided to do it himself! He rolled the lawn mower over there and was all grumbly and did something to make the wheels down low and then he mowed it while Mommy and I pulled weeds up near the house. When he was finished, Mommy was laughing because she said it looked like scorched Earth!!! Daddy SCALPED THE LAWN!

Daddy...the redneck's lawn is BALD!



Even our other neighbor (Mandy the Weiner Dog's mom) laughed and said that Daddy wasn't F#$@ING AROUND when he mowed that lawn!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA I think all that tall grass must have become a house for BUGS because there were a TON of them tonight while I was out walking. Check me out being all CRAAAAAZY!

BUGS!BUGS!BUGS!BUGS!BUGS!BUGS!



SO...make sure you keep your lawns mowed, or Daddy and I will be coming to GET you!

BWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!
(hahaha...Daddy is crazy!)
