Hello

So - did ya'll think I was gone???? Actually I'm still alive and well in Oak Ridge!!!!

I know, I know - it's been like forever - but mom has just been swamped. We don't have any pictures - but we just wanted to say hello....Today I helped mom out on making scarecrows for some dumb scarecrow contest she cooked up for the Pumpkin Fest - since noone else has built a scarecrow yet Mom took it upon herself to build 3 of them so that she can take them to the TV station on Friday - She's doing a pretty good job about getting publicity for the big Revitalization Effort - right now she's busy preparing for the Pumpkin Fest www.pumpkinfestoakridge.yolasite.com and for the Taste of Oak Ridge www.tasteofoakridige.yolasite.com

Also today they had a meeting with the city and it looks like the city is going to give the effort some money - the good news there is that it means they can start to pay mom for all of her hard work - so maybe she can charge the camera and take some pictures of MEEEEE -

When I finish building her scarecrows I'll take some pictures of my hard work -

Still Working Hard

I have been working so hard you just can't imagine - I'm even too tired to ask mom to help with my blog - I have what you call a conundrum - I don't want to stay home by myself, but I also don't want to be dragged around in and out, in and out of the car.....so, what's a little guy to do? Well, I guess that being dragged around and getting in and out of the car is better than staying at home. Everywhere I go people just think I'm so cute....of course, I am so cute so I don't know why that surprises me! BOL

This is me at the end of the day - all tuckered out!!!!

One day last week we were at a vet's office bringing them lunch - now let me tell you that it was a bizzar day. We went into the back and there was a little doggie lying on the table getting his teeth cleaned - he was knocked out and it was kinda gross - I didn't like it at all - and you can just imagine how mommy felt. We could also see them in the surgery suite operating on another doggie - I thought mommie was gonna loose it right then - needless to say she did NOT eat lunch!!!!

When mommy finishes with the vet stuff she is working on the revitalization stuff - last week there was a lot of stuff going on. She has somehow managed to meet with all the council members individually and she and another lady met with a man interested in purchasing the Alexander Hotel....he's even willing to work with them on their vision - Mom is now working on writing a "white paper" about the effort - so that is taking a lot of time too.

Check this out - I have a new sweater for the football season. GO DAWGS!!!!!

Gotta run now - mom needs to get back to trying to work - I miss all my doggie pals - Take care all of you!!!!!

WORK IS HARD

Man - let me tell you this work stuff is hard! I am totally worn out. This week we've been very busy between saving our town and talking to the vets!!!!! There is never a dull moment when trying to keep up with my mom!

And I've been tagged by a couple of friends Tiffany & The Munchkins & Sassy Sasha- with this pawsome award for doggies who blog at least once a week - Mom said a couple of other friends also sent me this award but the old blonde, can't remember who - so she is really sorry that she's not mentioning you sent it!

I want to pass this along to all my bloggie buddies - especially since I know that you are all blogging daily and I'm not!!! - Not my fault - mom is working me to death.

We're going to go check to see how Woodrow is doing since we haven't been there since the early part of the week - I'm gonna make her read all my doggie blogs to me over the long week-end.

I'm going to sleep now!

Another Busy Day Working

Let me tell you - this work stuff is not so easy - I have to get up and have my breakfast - and I have to eat it when mom puts it down because if I don't I'm stuck all day with nothing to eat!!!! Now this morning I got a break because mom had to be at the city courthouse this morning because she is heading a group trying to get a man to donate the ALEXANDER INN - aka THE GUEST HOUSE to this revitalization program she's working on...the man who owns it Merrill Boatman has let the property run into the ground - it's a really important piece of history as it housed many of the scientists who built that AWFUL big bomb - aka the Atom Bomb - even Albert Einstein stayed there - anyway - whatever your feelings are about the bomb the building is important. The people from the Heritage Association got the city to fine him and stuff - so he had to go to court this morning and there were a whole bunch of people there in support of preservation - The man told the judge he was meeting with a potential buyer this afternoon - nobody really believes that - mainly because he's wanting over a million dollars for it and the thing is FALLING DOWN.........but next week mom and a few people who are interested in the property's salvation are going to met next - Mom has a plan that she's trying to sell everyone on - now they're trying to figure out how to buy it if the man won't donate it to the effort - Mom's been writing Op-Ed pieces in the newspaper - if you want to read them - she's done 2 so far - First one here - second one here - as you can see she's been really busy lately!!!!

Okay now - back to ME - I didn't get to go to court with her - BOO - but, I spent the rest of the day with her - when she got home she was mostly on the phone - I don't like it when she is on the phone - I really bug her a lot when she's on the phone - I bite her ankles as she walks around and I jump all over her to get her off. I don't know why I don't like her on the phone - but I don't. Then she and daddy went to the Soup Kitchen for lunch - they specialize in the MOST delicious soups and are known for their signature chili [which mom says isn't as good as here] They also make really great cheese bread - huge pieces. Mom had Hungarian Pork Goulash - she said they should have just called it Cabbage soup with pork - but it was gtood. It was raining so I didn't get to sit with them outside - I had to stay in the car. - BOO -

Then we went back home and mom did more phone calls and a lot of paperwork stuff - but I sat right next to her the whole entire time. This is me checking out our business card and making sure the info is correct - if you biggify you can see that my picture is on there with mom's!

That's about it - it's now Friday night and I am so tired from a hard week at work - Mom is bored because the only thing on TV is Teddy Kennedy's wake - while mom might agree that he was a powerful Senator and did many good things for women and minorities - she was not a fan - she met him back in 1978-79 when he was planning his run for the presidency at a fund raiser - he was a mysognistic pig according to mom - then Chappaquidich happened and that ended that dream - she doesn't want to speak ill of the dead - but she was no fan!-

Have a great weekend.
