Miss Molly had to take a playtime break, cousin Jewel is patiently waiting…
So this weekend we went from 70 degrees and sunny, to rain and 50 degrees and then to sleet,snow, hail and 32 degrees, not a good weekend for outdoor fun! So I decided the girls should get a little practice on taking selfies, and being that they don’t have thumbs I had to help them out a little bit…

How’s this mom..it doesn’t make my nose look big does it?

OK, this is my selfie, can I go back to sleep now?
Miss Lilly got adventurous and took one in the car on the way to pick up dinner…

Dad you need better aim, I think you cut off part of my nose!!
So that was our exciting weekend, hope you had a good one!!

One of Miss Molly’s first car rides…she fell asleep on the floor beside the air conditioning vent!!
This Sunday was Mother’s day and of course the girls and my son all chipped in to get me some goodies. One was a new purse that of course had a picture of Snoopy on it and the other was a certificate for an hour massage (which will come in handy after the weekend!!) So for something fun, since it was nice out, I decided to take everyone to the dog park and try Miss Lilly’s catlike skills out on the new agility course they constructed. So we packed everyone up and headed out! Once there we wrangled everyone in to the play yard and got started.

Miss Lilly showing off on her first try!!
I was worried that even though Lilly thinks she is part cat she would be nervous about being so high off of the ground, nope she trotted right up the plank like she had done it all her life!! Once up there she decided it was a nice vantage point to survey the yard and for photo ops!!

Piece of cake mom…
Next I took her over to the stairs which were of course a breeze for her!! She plodded up and down them quite a few times, pausing for some passersby to marvel at her skills!! Next we headed for the tunnels which were not as easy. my husband had to coax her from the other end and I had to half crawl in the first time so she could see it was safe!!! But she soon got the hang of it and went through on her own. However after two trips through she was ready to go back to the others.

I better get some good treats for this…
Miss Molly did not try any of the agility course but did lounge in the shade by the drinking bowl/pool watching her sisfur and giving us the “not a chance” looks. My husband spent most of the time trying to keep our 18 month old son occupied so that I could get Miss Lilly pictures, so I may have to share part of my hour massage present with him. Anyhow after a fun filled afternoon proving that Miss Lilly is indeed part cat we packed up and headed home! Hope you all enjoyed the weather and had a great Mother’s Day too!

Baby Lilly all snuggled in her wee basket!!

I love the woods!!
So normally on the weekends we pick one morning to catch up on our household chores and cleaning. Now my eighteen month old son loves to help run the vacuum and mop the floors, Molly prefers to just stay out of everyone’s way along with my husband and Miss Lilly loves to help with the laundry.

Don’t worry mom I’ll get this one…
She likes to help take the clothes out of the basket and “sort” them while I am gathering them up. Her favorites seem to be her baby brother’s clothes and for some reason my husband’s dirty, stinky socks!! She will literally sort through the entire basket just to grab these items.

What? They don’t smell that bad & they taste great!!
She also enjoys helping me put the laundry in the washer and taking them out of the dryer. She sticks her head right in so she can properly supervise.

No mom this goes with the darks not the whites…
And of course she pitches right in to grab the warm clothes from the basket and re-fold any that she feels I didn’t do correctly!!

A Basset’s work is never done!
Does your family all pitch in to help around the house? What are there favorite chores to do? And can someone please explain the love of Bassets & stinky socks!!
