Cleaning off the Patio...

Ya know those things that fall from the tree. Nooooo, not leaves...before they are leaves! They look like this...


Well, I have about a hundred gazillion of them on the patio. I've been thinking I should probably sweep all those little things up so that the dogs and I don't track them into the house. But, Tag had a better idea! Before I tell you about that, I must tell you that he doesn't go outside into the newly fenced yard without his warthog. Have you seen it? It's his HUGE toy...about 13" inches tall and 11" wide...it's heavy (the collies won't pick it up in their delicate little mouths, ya know) and he absolutely thinks of it as his security blanket.

Got all that? Okay, so when I let the dogs out after work this afternoon, Tag tore out the patio door with his warthog...pottied while still hanging on to the warthog...set the warthog down...like this (yes, that's actually how he set it down)...



and proceeded to clean up as many of those little things as he could (or, as many as I would let him eat while I was taking photos...anything for a post to my blog!). I guess I won't have to sweep, hey???


...that boy cracks me up!!!

Okay, being a Southern girl, what kind of tree drops those things on the ground? We have to be careful not to let our horses eat too many acorns or they will colic. Will these hurt Tag E.?

Also you have been very vocal about David Cook being your favorite on American Idol. I had liked Michael Johns but alas he has moved on so I would prefer David Cook win.

But what about DWTS? You have been quiet on your favorite this year. Any reason?

Hey Trish...I don't know what those things are. But, they do go through Tag's system, as I see them in his poop. haha! I, too, liked Michael Johns, but think that David Cook has it all...all the changing he does only makes the songs better to me! As for DWTS...not being quiet intentionally. I really like Kristi (big figure-skating fan that I am)/Mark the best, I think. Though, I do think that Shannon/Derek do pretty well. Then, there's Jason/Edyta...they are awesome, too! In the end, I'm thinking that Kristi/Mark will win.
