Baxter’s Blog #10

Hi everyone! I sure hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Memorial Day! I sure do like holiday weekends when the families come to visit. They always bring the best goodies! It’s always a lot of fun playing with the kiddos even though I’m pretty tired afterwards. I’m not the spring chicken I used to be!

Speaking of spring chickens, I don’t think you’ve met another of my friends at the ranch. His name is Bruce. Now Bruce ain’t real pretty, but what he lacks for in looks he makes up for in confidence. You’ll see him struttin’ all around the ranch like he’s the top guy on the totem pole. The guys all like him cause he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and he’s so…………well ugly. What’s that saying? Oh yeah, “only a face a mama could love” ha ha! But really Bruce is a good ole bird.

As you know, it’s gotten HOT! The Baxter doesn’t do hot real well. Unless I have water I can get into. So the guys brought out the swimming pool. I was so excited thinking how great that water was gonna feel! I came charging around the corner all prepared to do a swan dive into it. And what do I see? Petunia. In my pool. Having herself a good ole time. Well that’s okay. “Tunia” and I are great friends. We’ll just share. Wrong. Have ya ever tried to share a swimming pool with a pot-bellied pig? It just don’t work. Tunia kept sitting on the sides letting all the water out. Even ole Bruce looked disgusted. After the guys refilled the pool three times, I gave up. I let Tunia have the pool and I headed to the pond.

Stay cool everybody!

Many hugs,
The Baxter
