Hey guys! Sorry to be a bit MIA this weekend. Me, Katie Scarlett, and the hubby spent a lot of family time together. We went shopping, went to the flea market, went to PetSmart, and did a lot of chilling around the house. It was so much fun but I think KS is plum tuckered because she has been sleeping most of the day today. LOL. Anyways, had to tell y'all about the flea market experience. We went to an indoor/outdoor flea market. The indoor part did not allow pets, so we stuck to the outside. It was a bit chilly but I had a thick sweater and a thick coat on KS so she was fine. She loved intereacting with everyone and the other dogs there. We met 2 of the most adorable Pekinese (spelling?) doggies there! They were so adorable and KS loved them. We got a lot of 'oohs, ahhs' and 'look how cute'...as I'm sure all of you do when you go out with your babies. But we did get one odd comment....

We were walking along and walk past this couple. After they pass us the wife says 'hon, look at that precious dog!' He says 'where?' She points and he says as plain as day 'What? That's a dog? I thought she was walking a squirrel!'

Can you believe that?!!! First, why on Earth would anyone tame and walk a squirrel? And second...can we just ask where his manners were? The people out in this world amaze me! Tee hee! But we did get a chuckle out of the situation. So we can add 'squirrel' to the list of names we have been called. Beats all I've ever seen in all my born days!

Have a good week guys!
Hugs!
Aymee & Katie Scarlett;)

We had a pet squirrel. He was actually quite fun. We built him a squirrel condo and he had tree branches and perches and loved to be hand fed pecans. His name was Nemo. His momma died from a dog attack and we bottle fed him and raised him up to be a right proper squirrel, he lived to be 6 years old before he decided he wanted to join the other squirrels that were more free. Every once in a while we think we see him, and we still leave pecans and peanuts out for him.
