And the Best Moral Support Workers Goes To....

My sister's dog Blossom LOVES to go outside and help us with the farm chores. When she sees us getting ready to go work she gets all excited and stands by the door, tail wagging about a million miles per second and ready to go. Once outside she runs and barks and runs around until the farm cat Dottie comes out to play. Once they are finished with their game of tag they follow my Dad everywhere. Just waiting for him to get out the Gator. Now if you ask Mr. Yesteryear Acres it is because they love him the mostest and he is just the best. HOWEVER I have my own theory... Not that I don't think that they absolutely adore him, but I believe they love to follow him around because they LOVE to ride in the gator. As in the whole time they sit in the gator while we work. It really is quite adorable. Sometimes I have to get things out of the bin that's under the box that Dottie sits on top of like a throne. I try and carefully lift the box with the cat up, slide the tote out, and replace the cat and her throne back down- all without disturbing Dottie. I call it Cat Jenga. I am actually quite good at Cat Jenga now.  Well today Ms. Blossom Doodle and Dottie Doodle were quite the duo as they napped in the gator using my brown coat and my Dad's orange sweater. I told them they were the best moral support workers I have ever seen!

They looked quite pleased with themselves with their award.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and that you all have great moral support buddies like we do! 

Hello?

Here at Yesteryear Acres you will hardly ever find yourself without company. Usually there is a doodle or two nearby. Once in awhile we have to create a doodle free zone -which means no doggie doodles, cat doodles, or doodles of any kind- in the room. Well today this rare occasion had to occur where we needed a doodle free zone while we prepared dinner. My Mom's cats are particularly leopard like when it comes to meat or butter. We don't know why they love butter so much, but they really do. In this instance we had just pulled out both butter and chicken out of the freezer to thaw and therefore we really required a doodle free zone. Now the kittens in particular really did not like this separation... In fact they did their darnedest to end the doodle free zone

Ummm Hello?? Did you know we are out here?

This thing is in the way... I can still smell the chicken and butter though

If I could only get it to slide just a little bit...

I might be able to squeeeeeeze through

Ummm HELLO!?!? Please let me in!

Silly kitty doodles that is our dinner! Thankfully doors are still the best way to create a doodle free zone and dinner was able to be cooked to perfection! 

Bon Appetit! 

Rainy Doodle Day

It's been a rainy day here at Yesteryear Acres. It has been sprinkling on and off for a majority of the day. However we don't let the rain cast a gloomy shadow over puppy pick up day!!! Lily's sweet golden doodle babies are going to their forever homes today. I will admit that these days are a little bittersweet for us, but the look of pure happiness on all the families faces as well as their new furry family members makes it all worth the while. Safe travels furry friends! We love you all :)

I'm waiting for my family...

OH! THEY ARE HERE!! 

Following Mr. Yesteryear Acres on a walk before my car ride home!

Getting in once last pounce before I go! 

Have fun in your new homes!!! 

National Popcorn Day Celebration

It is no secret that here at Yesteryear Acres we love food. Today is no exception as it is National Popcorn Day! My Mom makes the best popcorn in the whole wide world. She uses various spices and seasonings to make popcorn batches of perfection. I believe this heavenly tasting snack is the outcome of a collaboration project my Mom and my Aunt had a few years ago... All I can say is BEST PROJECT EVER!! In honor of National Popcorn Day... We took a second to celebrate the only way we knew how, with friends!

Hey Amelia... Whatcha got there?

AHHH!!! Is that Popcorn???

Do you think we could, I dunno.... Have a piece maybe?

I mean we wouldn't ask, but it looks like you have so many pieces in there... surely you would like some help eating all of them

I mean it IS National Popcorn Day, and look how cute we are!

YUM!

I hope everyone is having a doggone good National Popcorn Day!

Ummm Where Did All the Ice Go?!?

Every day we like to walk around the pond. It is like our mini oasis that brings us peace and fun even if we only have a moment to spare. In the winter I especially love to see how much the pond changes with the rising and falling temperatures. With the warm up we had over the past few days our pond was completely devoid of ice. We even had 7 geese doodles happily swimming in the pond! All signs pointed to a very cold but melted pond. However my doodle Maverick did NOT get the memo. He saw the geese and thought he could just run across the pond and chase them. Maverick learned quite quickly he was a little over his head... Luckily he takes after his human momma and is a great swimmer! The expression on Mav's face was priceless! My Dad and I laughed so hard we could barely breathe. Maverick spent the rest of the pond walk jumping in and out of the pond and swimming after the geese, until at last they flew away. My goofy little doodle was so proud of himself. I think he had the best afternoon ever :) and I was even able to take a few pictures!

OH MY GOSH GEESE!!! Let's get them!

AHHHHH! UMMM Where did all the ice go?!

  

I am pretty sure Olive doodle laughed at Maverick too!

Was that a bit chilly buddy?

NOPE! Mav back in the water and on point  

 Off they go!

See you later Geese! Thanks for playing!!!

A Case of the Beautiful Blues

Blue's beautiful babies are four weeks old! They have just started eating solid foods and are  getting quite good at licking the plate clean. They are the sweetest happiest puppies. 

Did someone say cheese?

Wait a minute... We don't see any cheese!

No Guys! "Cheese" means look at the camera like this

And strike a cute pose like this!

Silly boys, check out us girls! We will show you how it is done

See? Aren't we just adorable?!?

Pssst... Hey! I think I saw Mr. Yesteryear Acres getting our dinner ready

Ohh you are right! I see him too! YAY time for dinner!

Happy Blue Tuesday!
