Handy Smushies

Over the weekend, we had a respite from the rain to do a little work on the ranch. More specifically, we did some work in the Smushie yard.

This is what part of our yard looks like thanks to Marshall using it as speedway. Notice the lack of grass?

The parents gave up trying to re-grow grass since it's such a heavily trafficked area. 

We never walk back and forth through here. Never. It's all Marshall's fault. 

At our request, the parents procured some bricks and went to work.

Pretty cool, huh?

It was a lot of hard work snoopervising the parents. 

Are you sure you're measuring accurately?

Gimme that, I'll show you how to do it.

Macaroni was making sure the new walkway is stuffie worthy...


The rain started up again before the parents could finish the Smushie walkway. As mush as we tried to convince them they wouldn't melt in the rain and to keep working, they weren't buying it. 

Hope to post completed pics soon!

    Wilma calls Smushies "Lammies" and her siblings are very particular as to which ones they like. Your doggies look really cute and would make great playmates for ours.

    Fancy. Now you won't have to get your paws muddy. Ewww. Try not to blame Marshall. He is like, HUGE and can't help the grass melting away beneath his behemoth paws. Nice snoopervising!
