The Great Wall of Bedford

Posted by Sharkey

The weather was so nice the other day and we Frenchies spent a good part of it outside. The sun was shining warmly and we went to one of our favorite vantage points – The Great Wall of Bedford – right off the terrace overlooking the farm.

1 What a nice warm morning for sitting on this wall.

2 It's fun to just sit here and watch life on the farm.

3 I know - I know - I have a very cute pink belly.

4 Hi Jeff. How is the security detail going today? Have you checked all the buildings and patrolled the perimeter of the property? Martha will want to know.

5 Mike, how are things operating on the property today? Are there any problems Martha needs to know about when she calls?

6 Oh, that sun feels so good on my face.

7 Ah-ah-ah-chooooo

8 Hey Sharkey, why did the cat run from the tree? Because it was afraid of the bark!

9 Ha-ha - Franny, that was such a good joke!

10 Hmmm - what's that buzzing sound?

11 Is it a bird?

12 Oh, I see. It's a plane passing overhead. Maybe Martha's on board coming back from her book signing. We've missed her.

The Dog Days of Summer

Posted by Sharkey

Everyone has been talking about the dog days of summer and I was wondering why they were called that. I did a little research and found that the ancient Romans thought that Sirius, the Dog Star in the constellation, Canis Major, and also the brightest star in the night sky, was the cause of hot and steamy summer weather. I guess the name stuck and now I’m stuck in the dog days of summer.

1 Why did I come outside? It's so hot today.

2 This is what they mean by the dog days of summer.

3 I feel so lazy.

4 It's no cooler here.

5 It's a little cooler in the shade but Vivaldi must be hot, too. He's not even moving away from me, as he usually does.

6 Maybe a bucket of ice cubes would cool me off!
