My New Garden

Well hello there! How the devil are you? I'm in excellent form. I'm settling in well here with Katy and Martin, or ma and pa as I have decided I will call them.


I have assumed duties as garden security warden. Every morning I do a sweep of the lawn to make sure there are no invaders. Pa says enjoy the lawn, as when winter comes it apparently turns into a muddy mess and the gate is going on the fence, drat! Paws crossed for a dry winter I say!


All seems well at the top end of the garden. The big blue thing is a trampoline for the little ladies E & J, and jolly good fun it looks too.


I remain alert for any noises. I have already spotted that there are squirrels lurking here. There's no room for them in my garden let me tell you! Fair enough, I'd probably be more likely to befriend an intruder than scare them off, but still, doesn't hurt to maintain ones appearance.


A quick patrol of the border ensures that no imposters have entered the territory. All seems secure for now, jolly good.


A quick pose for the camera. I am learning already that if you live here, you need to get used to smiling for the camera.

There's a pretty tabby cat that lives next door. I'm sure she'll want to be friends when she realises what a nice chap I am. Perhaps I should ask Flakes to give me a character reference.



I very much like my new garden. What a lucky chap I am.

Toodle pip,

Harry x

Hi Harry,
Your garden looks very quaint. I am sure you'll be friends with your neighbour's cat one day. :)

Kirby said...

Hi Harry,

What a great yard you have! And you are guarding it so well. It must be nice to have a yard, I live in a condo, so my 'yard' is where ever I get walked. I have met up with a few squirrels in my wonderings, and I like the chase them about. I have an tabby cat next door to me too! I don't think he likes me, but sounds like you're OK with Flakes on your side. Enjoy your yard and have lots of fun, but remember, NO digging! The parents don't like that.

Your Pal,
Kirby

Gus said...

Oh good work Harry! Your garden looks lovely, and you are doing a good job. I didn't see a squirrel in any of the pictures. Congratulations

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

Whoa, Harry...you must work those gluts at the gym! (Lacie noticed, not me.) Great yard, Man! We patrol ours,too. We have Gruffy Groundhog that I have to scare out every morning. Plus we have turkeys and deer that are always dropping by. It's never ending work. Lacie patrols for bugs. Why, I'm not sure, but I've learned NOT to question.

You are doing a fine job of patrolling your property, Harry. You seem to have everything under control. It's too bad that you won't be able to do your job in the winter when it is a "muddy mess". Muddy messes are so much fun! Drats!!

Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie

Deanna said...

I have entered the beard growing contest, but Harry if there was an eyebrow contest you would definitely win it paws down. Your eyebrows are quite magnificent.

Hiya Harry mate,
Check out the trampoline more carefully, you might find it makes a great day bed. Nothing like a snooze in the sun to ponder over life.
Take it easy.

Stanley said...

Harry, my Boy!!

I should have warned you about giving butt shots on your blog! The girlpups just love to look at well developed muscle bums. I see that you have already received some (well-deserved) admiration along that front.

Looks to me like you have everything well in hand. Wish you could help me will squirrel patrol in GooberStan. We are overrun this time of year, and they have a lot of ATTITUDE!

Take care of yourself, buddy.

Goober love,
Stanley
