GG & The Bear

Hi everyone. Las Vegas Cockapoo here! Things are happening! For some reason, my Mom and Dad are removing stuff from my house and then they appear at this other place ... something called the "chicken loft." (Okay, it's a long story.) Anyway, when they say we are going to the chicken loft, they put my bed in the floor of the passenger seat because the back end is full of stuff and I get in. I'm very happy there as I am right next to my Mom and she reaches down once in a while to give me a rub ... not to mention the cool air from the AC blowing on me for the 35 minute ride. We get there and I get to pee first. I really like my pee place. There are a lot of great new smells.

Anyway, as sooon as we go inside, I have my ball and orange man right there. I don't have to ask for them ... they are just right there. COOL! I'm finding a couple of great places to put the ball and try to get it. The only one that Mom didn't like was over the balcony outside. I don't get to take the ball out there anymore. But, I do love to drop the ball down the steps. COOL! COOL! COOL!

I have noticed that the things that disappear at our house are showing up at the chicken loft. Hmmmm.

Back to the picture above. While my Mom was packing things up, her bear which was a gift from a dear friend of hers, ended up on the floor. I sniffed and prodded that bear for several days while trying very hard to behave myself and not tear its insides out. Finally, my Mom gave the bear to me as a photo op. That lasted about 8 hours before I began to tear its insides out. Mom took it from me right away. Gee! I was just getting to the good stuff ... ing.

Ice Plant, Bishop's Cap & ???

I have looked and looked for the name of this cactus and I can't find it. But, I like it! Its spines are fairly flat to the stem and, so far, it is only a single stem.

This is my rather sad-looking Ice Plant. It did make a few fuscia colored flowers last spring so I shouldn't give it a hard time, should I?

My Bishop's Cap made a flower while I was away a few weeks ago and I was hoping that one of these buds would flower up soon but, so far, nothing.

Pups

I still don't know what this is. I said before that it might be an Echinopsis but I'm beginning to think that it isn't. Anyway, look at the pups growing on its side!
