Dawg, Where’s My Car?

Lulu: “How are we going to get to the dog park without a car? How are we going to get home?”
Blue: “While we’re thinking about it, we can just walk to the food court. It’s right over there.”

Lulu’s Big Adventure, Part 2: Got Peemail?

Hello friendlies! Lulu here with Part 2 of my adventure from a couple of weeks ago, where I spent the entire day at the harbor!

Blue: “I’m what birds could have been if it weren’t for that giant UFO that crashed into the Yucatan.”

Lulu’s Big Adventure, Part 1: Got Termites?

Hello friendlies! Lulu here, with a tale of my recent grand adventure! It started during the pandemic, when Mama and Dada started noticing tiny little round brown and black deposits all over the laundry machines in the garage. The laundry machines are white, so it was pretty obvious that these little pellets weren’t supposed to be there. It turns out these pellets are termite poop. Here’s a visual aid:

It’s important to make sure you’re not attempting to brew termite pellets in your Keurig or sprinkling them on your scrambled eggs.
