McDonald's Thief

You think you got problems! 

Try living with a Saint Bernard that can reach the kitchen counter! 

Lucy stole Hens McDonald’s last Monday… don’t think she even feels bad about it… 

Found the wrappers when I cleaned up the backyard today and was curious to see if it was caught on video. We had assumed it was Oscar!!

You can imagine Hen was not a happy camper especially after he had already given them each their own plain cheeseburger!

Be sure to turn the audio up



Nurse Lucy

 Lucy may be a thief but she is also a great nurse! This was taken a few weeks ago when Hen was not feeling 100%. So sweet.πŸ₯°

So this happened...tire damage

 On a day that I really didn't have extra time, I somehow turned my wheel incorrectly at the walgreens drive through and tore a big gash in my tire! Luckily Hen told me where to take it and it was still under warranty so after a few hours I was able to drive away with a new tire! 




Our Seven Dwarf's plus Fluffy!

First meet my new babies! Arrived today all the way from South Carolina!

They shall now be known as Happy, Grumpy Sneezy, Dopey, Sleepy, Bashful, Doc, and Fluffy!!

Next: place your bets on whether I can actually keep them alive!?! 😬

They are enjoying shade for a few days after their long journey leaving their wonderful humid environment… heaven help them! πŸ™

How they arrived from South Carolina on May 30th all boxed up!

After unboxing:


Update: July 8th

Trust me no one is more shocked than me, other than “one brother in law of mine…”

SURVIVING and THRIVING!!!

Here is the crazy thing, they shockingly all fit their personalities! I didn’t think much when I assigned their names but they really do! Happy gets the most sun, Fluffy is the widest, Grumpy had the hardest time adapting by having the most dead branches, Dopey’s top looks exactly like the shape of Dopey’s hat, Bashful doesn’t like to show all his branches in some parts and has bare spots where you see his trunk, whenever I am watering and get to Sneezy, I always sneeze! I kid you not! Doc gets the most shade and is content. Lastly Sleepy! We have had the hardest time battling the wind with him and he likes to fall over to get some zzz’s.

Happy 45th Henry!

 





We were able to go to Maddox's, our favorite, the night before! We were so late that they had run out of chicken! I didn't even know what to order!
