• New Friends and New Furniture!!

    Today’s Fortune: He who climbs a ladder must begin at the first step. That is very good advice, as you will see.  I did not get to blog this weekend, because I was very busy.  I have been very busy ever since I got home from Ashevegas, actually.  I have new friends visiting, and I have been showing them around all over the state.  I will tell everyone about that very soon, but first I have to tell about my weekend!!   I made a new friend!!  And I got new furniture that is just my size!! We went to…

  • A Fond Farewell to Ashevegas….

    Today’s Fortune: Give a hug to someone who needs one more than you. That is good advice. There is always someone in need of a hug. Sunday, June 28th was our last day in Ashevegas. The time passed way too quickly. Mom got a good picture of me and all my friends before we checked out of the hotel room. I decided to wear my Ninja Pirate outfit. Dharma really likes that one. After we got checked out of the hotel, we went to a place called World Cup Coffee Cafe.  They had really good coffee and desserts.  I shared…

  • Hugging Pugs and Other Fun Stuff….

    Today’s Fortune: Others are attracted to your endearing warmth. This fortune is very true. Everywhere I went in North Carolina, people seemed to love me!  Even dogs seem to be attracted to my endearing warmth! After dinner at the Fiddlin’ Pig, we went to Puggerhugger’s house to take her boys home, and pick up her knitting so she could knit some at the hotel with Mom and Knittymac. I was very excited, because I got to meet all of the pugs that live at her house!! My very favorite is Easter. Easter is tan, and looks a lot like my…

  • Me & Darling Dharma at The Fiddlin’ Pig!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will become better acquainted with a coworker. I think that was supposed to be somebody else’s fortune, because I don’t have any coworkers. He must have gotten my cookie confused with somebody else’s. That’s okay. He does a pretty good job most of the time, so I will cut him some slack. Saturday evening, after a day of monkey fun and boring yarn shopping, we got to go have dinner at a place called The Fiddlin’ Pig. It was a Barbecue Birthday Bash for our friend Knittymac! We had the whole gang there! I checked out the…

  • Monkeys at Mast General Store….

    Today’s Fortune: One old friend is better than two new ones. I think this is a silly fortune. I don’t think you can have too many friends, ever. I have lots of old friends, but I always like making new ones. Saturday, June 27th was our only full day in Ashevegas, so we had to cram lots of fun into one day.  It started out with a trip to a place called Mast General Store. Mast is a wonderful place! They have all kinds of good stuff there. They had lots of monkeys there, including colorful sock monkeys that we…

  • Monkey Party at the Holiday Inn….

    Today’s Fortune: Stop searching. Happiness will come to you. Happiness always does come to me. When we finished up our visit to the Red Heel Monkey Shelter, we decided to go check into our hotel room. We were supposed to meet our friends Knittymac and Puggerhugger, but they called and said that they would be late, because they had car trouble, which didn’t sound like much fun at all. We went up to the hotel room, and me and Sassy and Mike Bison spent some time looking through the notebook that tells all about the hotel, while Mom unpacked all…

  • Hangin’ with Happy George….

    Today’s Fortune: Plan for many pleasures ahead. Once again, my fortune was right! And I’m just now starting to blog about all the fun stuff we did in the last two weeks! This is shaping up to be the most exciting summer ever! Today starts my tales of the Ashevegas Adventure! It will probably take a few days to tell about it all, because we did a lot of stuff there. When we first got to town, before we met up with any of the Tractor Girls, we had a covert sock monkey operation to tend to. A few years…
