Weegie on Wednesday II

I'm back people.

It's Wednesday,

and this is The Weege.


I thought I'd share a little about my weekend.

It was The Labor Day Holiday, you know.

And since I'm a hard-working,



laboring

kind of guy

it's only right

that I should get a little R&R.


So we go to the farm.



And I get to spend a lot of quality time in The Mule.

(Notice my new bling, people.)


And I had some outstanding opportunities

for rolling in stuff.


There was this excellent find,



and then you just can't beat

the stuff that washes up dead around the lake



Fine, I'm telling you.

The stuff washes up,

then bakes in the sun for a while,

and the perfume is just intensified.

It's a sensory delight I tell you.


For everyone.


I did a little swimming to cool off

and to keep my muscles toned

and sleek.

And I took some walks along the shore.



This is kind of my new favorite picture of myself.

I like the light.

And I just look

thoughtful,

contemplative,

don't you think?


I still have to contend with the cattle, of course.

They're putty in my hands, though.


Seriously, do you see the fear and respect on this

little Bull's face?



Fear I tell you.



There was one let's say "visually disturbing"  incident

involving myself

and one of the White Longhorns.

But whatever you may hear otherwise,

I DID NOT run from that cow and hide under the Mule.


Please.


It was an evasive move.

I have to throw them off.

A little duck and run kind of thing.


You've got to let them at least feel like they're in the game.


I mean seriously,

there is some pretty elaborate and highly complex "technique"

involved in cattle herding

and I don't want to sound arrogant,

but if you're not a Herding Master

you just wouldn't get it.



Under the heading of

"Other Farm Happenings"...


We caught these nasty guys on the trail camera.




Can you say U-gly?










It just honestly kind of gives me

the willies

to know that these things are

traipsing around

all over



MY farm.

Gheesh!!!!!!!!


Let me tell you,

my Brothers and Sisters

there is

absolutely nothing reflective or contemplative about that

highly

unattractive creature.


I'm just glad that they generally keep to their malodorous and elusive selves...





And now under the Heading

"Someone Really Needs to SERIOUSLY Look Into this!!!!"


The scuttlebut is

a MOUNTAIN LION,

AKA

COUGAR,

AKA

PUMA

I daresay PANTHER!!!!!!

Whatever the HECK you want to call the

OVERSIZED, LONG-FANGED, PREDATORY CAT

Was spotted not too far from the farm,

carrying a FAWN away in it's mouth!!!!

The horror!!!!!!!

Is anyone else out there concerned about this turn of events?????


Let me tell you

how very unpleasant

it is to overhear

a conversation

that

let's see...

boiled down to...

How very MUCH these things like to prey on...

I can hardly say it...

WEEGIES!!!!!!!!

So,

uh,

if any of you could

give

MY PEOPLE

a SHOUT OUT

about how you're extremely

concerned for my safety,

and how they might want to take some EXTRA SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

on my account,


I'd really, really, really be

appreciative.



Peace Out,

The Weege

Dear Weegie -- So glad to hear from you. I just love hearing about your antics (oops!)activities. However, I could have used just a little more info about the White Longhorn, where I live all the Longhorns are this nasty orange color.

Anyway. Do not go out alone at night. Also, do not go outside with Lu at night. Take The Chief with you. Do you have a motion activated light outside? If not, check with your peeps.

Oh Weegie, you are my hero!! I love your outlook on life and things important and not-so-important. And I appreciate the care and patience you give to my dear friend, your mama, Lu!

But, I don't like the looks of those things roaming your property at night, and I especially don't like mountain lions, cougars, or panthers! I am very concerned for your safety and I will do everything I can to make sure Lu understands how vital it is that you are protected at all times. After all, you are The Weeg!

And I love that pic of you, too...you look like a weeg after my own heart!

Dear Weegie,
Maybe you you could bottle that eau d'stinky so that dogs less fortunate than you - the apartment dwelling ones... can enjoy too...
You could become an overnight millionaire! (if apartment dwelling dogs have their own money that is... their people would, of course, pass)
Luv U Weegster!

Wow! What a weekend! Little guy must be tuckered out after all that fun!

Where is the farm? My dad used to live in the country in TX and had wild hogs on his property that he delighted in shooting! :)

Thanks for reading Tracy - the farm is in central Texas, on Lake Limestone near Groesbeck. Not too far from Waco...
