08-31-13 7 Weeks Old Today!

This is going too fast!  It seems like it was just the other day - maybe 3 weeks ago - when these puppies arrived!  I cannot believe we don't have much more time with these kids!

7:00 Stayed in bed late to see what would happen.

_________________________________________________________________________________We were up and moving around.  We couldn't get Mom's attention, so we started playing with our rooster.  A cluck here - a cluck there!  Finally, some results!  She came to see us.  We really weren't hungry.  We just needed some love!  Unfortunately, we didn't get the love first.  She went immediately to cleanup duty!!  Can you believe it?  She forgot to turn on the washer last night.  Now, we are waiting for our extra carpet to be washed and dried.  I guess it is a good thing she added the extra pen for us to play.  We are having a great time.  She threw in some paper from the other side - to recycle - we are having a great time stomping through it and tearing it up.  We love to hear it rattle!!

It seems we are going to be watching a ton of football around here.  Dad watched some game about Raiders and Mustangs last night.  It is only 8:00AM and he is watching something about some Tigers now!  Now, we hear a lot of talk about some Longhorns!  What are all these things?  We are just ignoring it because we are actually into wrestling - not watching - but doing!

We know Momma Belles is a fan of golf!  She tells us that she watches that with Dad all the time!  Mom says we will listen to some more Kim Komando so we can be Tech savvy also.  She wants all of us to know a little bit about the computer, so we don't eat the electrical cords.  She says our parents should place plastic around any cords, so we don't get electrocuted.  She especially wants Zoya to know about computers, so she can help her new Dad Grant with coding!

Mom was on her new computer last night watching Windows 8 tutorials.  She has to catch up on it since she only had Windows XP.  Then, she is trying to learn the Mac also!  She wanted to splice a video for you, but maybe in the next week!  She has been trying to get familiar with iMovie also.  As Mom says, "Everything seems to be a process these days!  - including us!

Mom says she is going to be outside working this morning on the destruction Momma Belles and Uncle Chase have caused to her new miniature crepe myrtles.  She had placed landscape fabric around them, but it didn't keep them from digging after the moles.  They just torn up the fabric with their teeth like they do roots on plants!  Of course, Mom says one Cairn doesn't get in as much trouble as two Cairns, etc.  She tells us about two is the right number of Cairns in a household - especially if you want to have a garden.  She does say it is easier for my relatives to dig in the flower beds here because they live on beach sand on this side of Tyler.  She says Tazz and Chase didn't do as much digging in Georgia clay soil!
