Hello friends, I thought I'd catch you up with a few things that have been happening around home this past week.
My wonderful hubby finished laying the decking outside our backdoor - and boy! have we been enjoying that new space!!
It is so nice to be able to sit out there in the cooler evening breezes..especially for my Beloved who works so hard during the day and needs a peaceful place to unwind.
The heatwave has passed and we've had some rain, so that means the garden has gone into "overdrive" and we now have a tomato-jungle in the vegie patch :-)
There's still a lot of work for us to do outdoors..a winding brick path to be finished and garden beds to be enlarged as well as building hubby's pizza oven..which he laid the foundations for last Saturday -yeah!lol!
Oh - I have to tell you about this little puppy without a collar who I found under the bushes in our side garden on Friday!
Doesn't he look sweet? Like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth, right?
No harm in taking him inside and putting him in the sunroom while I try to find his owners, right?
After all he's just a baby - couldn't even walk up my front steps without tripping over himself, so I'll just let him in and keep my eye on him - poooorrrr little thing!
Humph!!!
Well he wasn't exactly alone - HIS TWIN BROTHER was with him and they turned out to be quite an energetic handful to look after while I waited for hubby to come home and rescue - ME!!!
I had stupidly kindly put them in my sunroom so they would be safe but they started to entertain themselves by ripping the padding out from under the sofa - eek!!!
I soon put them in the backyard until hubby came home and took them up the street to try to find their home but nobody claimed them.
Thankfully our neighbours and their 2 lively young children took pity on them and said they were happy to look for their owners for us.. and so peace and calm returned to our little abode once again.
Hope they are burning all that puppy energy off in their own backyard by now, lol!
Well, I'm pleased to report that our "new best friend" is settling in nicely with us and looking much stronger and brighter this week.
He's even started to 'chatter' back to me and go to the bowl to eat his food when I stand near the cage and crunch on an apple etc.
He's VERY observant and seems like he'll be easy to teach...maybe he will learn to talk before long :-)
He's certainly provided me with lots of fun and chirpy company this week..and plenty of tiny fluffy feathers to sweep up too!lol!
Hope you are all having a good and blessed week too, my friends

Trish Your deck is so smart. I think you need a medal for taking in those lively two. The caged pets are much more manageable.:)
ReplyDeleteOh Trish has word got around the locals that you are running an animal shelter, to find two puppies makes me think they may have been abandoned, the little bird seems to have setled in well and I do like your deck its come up a treat.
ReplyDeleteLove Merle.......
Well, St. Francis is certainly sending animals your way! :)
ReplyDeletePuppies are best when they just visit..ha..
Your deck and yard look so nice!
The deck looks very elegant.
ReplyDeleteI think one puppy would have been enough, never mind two!
I remember when our GSD was a puppy ~ he was exhausting and gorgeous all rolled together!
ReplyDeleteThose two look to be the same :)
Your deck is so cool and inviting!
I should think you were glad to sit on it in peace, after lookking after those cheekies!
I'd be sitting in the chair eating a fresh tomato enjoying the surroundings. :-) The parrot does look like he's perked up a bit.
ReplyDeleteLOL sounds like the pups enjoyed their stay!
Blessings to you,
Anne♥
Ahhh...puppies!! I'm glad you were able to find someone to care for them. Hopefully, their owners can be found soon. And your sweet bird looks quite at home and still very handsome. :o) I'm sure he's becoming very much your baby.
ReplyDeleteYour deck looks great! How I wish I could visit and sit out there with you and enjoy a cup of tea. Enjoy your time relaxing out there.
Hey Sandra - consider yourself invited, lol!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have all my bloggy friends share a cuppa with me :-)
blessings..Trish xx
Hello my dearest friend, I am having a little trouble looking at your pictures. I am guessing it is my computer not downloading them. I really wanted to have a peek at all of them too. they are just not loading :-( I will have to pop back and look again later of better still I will have to invite myself over to have a real viewing..
ReplyDeletelove you my dear friend.. can't wait for the pizza oven to be finished, It will be nice to chat around the oven especially in the cooler months.

Puppies are so cute but they are like the naughtiest of children.

ReplyDeleteThese look yummmy....Happy weekend with love Janice
ReplyDeleteHi Trish,
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle at the 'Adventure of the Twin Pups' ..... hope they find their home.....
Francis is looking very bright and happy.
Love your deck...

Sounds like you had a little bit of a "wild time" with those cute little puppy dogs. I have a few indoor only cats, who get into mischief on various occasions too, and it can drive me crazy sometimes, though I couldn't live without them. :)
ReplyDeleteYour new backyard deck looks great! I'm glad that you and your hubby have been able to relax outside and enjoy your warm days. It's still winter here in the states, ugh! :(
Blessings!
A marvelous spot (deck) to enjoy some down time!
ReplyDeleteThose puppies were darling (I would have had a hard time to let them go!)
Thank you for visiting Trish and enjoy the sunny weather (so dreary here, sigh)
