Stella and her toys

fun, Stella

Stella has favorite toys. Her preferences change from day to day, hour to hour.

Some toys I set aside so they seem new when I bring them out again.

Stella loves her squeaky bones. The bones carry the smell of bacon. They only last so long because she squeaks them so much.

Today her attention is on this green ball, though it doesn’t go into her crate. It’s not special enough.

Stella always wants that soft white pull in her crate when she sleeps at night.

Right now, she’s at my feet as I write. It’s time for a little puppy nap.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A guessing game

fun

I know what these are. Do you?

Never poisonous and good when fried in butter, or so I’m told. I really didn’t care for the taste.

Have you ever eaten one? Would you again?

If you can’t guess. These are puffball mushrooms.

Here’s what Google said: Only young, immature puffballs are edible. The interior tissue must be soft; bread-like, and uniformly white. Once the flesh changes color and/or becomes mushy, spores are present. The mushroom is past its prime, is no longer edible, and can cause digestive problems.

So don’t go willy-nilly eating puffballs.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Barn-E the cat at the door

Barn-E, fun, pets, Stella

My cat and puppy were playing around an open door. This video shows how the cat was trying to connect with the dog.

This wasn’t a rough playtime. Instead, it was cute.

After tiring of their play, both found a corner to curl up and sleep.

Stella works for a treat.

fun, Stella

A treat has Stella’s attention in this video.

She would have swallowed it in seconds if I just gave it to her.

This way it takes time and energy to get at the treat.

I’m actually surprised it took her a few minutes to get to her tasty food.

Stella is tenacious when it comes to getting treats.

Barn-E in the spotlight

Barn-E, fun

The light cord was just hanging there, but Barn-E found it.

He never did pull the light cord, but he did have fun.

I know he’ll be back, because any hanging cord is so tempting for this cat.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
