Before we get started on our "work" this Wednesday, we finally got a good shot of our new neighbor pup. This is Layla, maybe a relative of Maggie Mae? She was a Christmas puppy is about six months old now.
She likes to sit and watch us and bark at us. We haven't had a chance to play with her yet because the gate to our compound is securely locked. But isn't she pretty?
Now on to our story for today . . .
As you can see, the no-sibe zone is now fully enclosed with that fancy schmancy fencing. The Momster is feeling pretty smug because we have so far respected the barricade.
So there has been no work in the garden this week, right, Ciara?
What do you think, TD? Should we let our readers see how hard we have been working this week - after all, we are a working breed?
Ummm, you might want to bigify this picture to see what has been going on in the underground level of the playset condo.
This side too, TD. We moved our work zone to the back corner of the yard where there are no Momster no-sibe zones. I have been doing my best to check up on those freeloading critters invading our space. I made the hole a little bigger so I won't miss them when they try to get out.
Yes, the silly bunnies have returned. We think Mom and Pop Rabbit have been working on something under there. We can smell them, but so far we haven't seen them. But we are hard workers and we won't give up.
Hi Mom. What was that? Oh, we are just being good sibes and relaxing here in a nice shady spot. (To be continued.)
Phantom decided to take a day off from any yard work. He has had a rough week and hasn't been feeling too perky. But he is doing a great job of resting and relaxing.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
Momster's Note: Looks like a second project is in order in addition to the painting of the swingset - time to figure out a way to create a new no-sibe zone.

You mean you guys also have those furry creature invading your spaces? And you have to protect the fort?? We have been busy doing the same thing!! Maybe we need to get our paws together so we can outsmart these crazy varmits!!
ReplyDeleteHope Phantom is feeling better.
Oh I see. You are the same shadow hoppers as me. :-)

ReplyDeletehiya guys,

TD is such a momma's boy! He's all "No Mom, I didn't dig ANYTHING, it was Ciara. She THOUGHT she heard bunnies under the swingset!!" And Ciara says, "Bunnies!! There's a WARREN down there and we gotta get them all!!" Both making a thoughtful effort to give Phantom some 'alone time.'
ReplyDeleteNice pack!!
I'm sure woo two will figure out SOMETHING!
ReplyDeleteWe hope Phantom will have a better sekhond part of the week!
As fur Layla, what a beaWOOty - and I love her ears!
Hugz&Khysses,

Shame all your hard work is not appreciated. Note to mom, no rabbits have gotten inside the estate, thanks to the fearless guard dogs. There, hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,
Mango
Did you do dat? Naw! Da bad, bad bunnies did dat!
ReplyDeleteYa know, maybe walking them six times a day isn't as bad as staying one step ahead of them in the garden.
ReplyDelete(the muzzer)
Woof! Woof! YES it looks like Maggie Mae. Your yard is looking good. Happy Wednesday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteThose pesky rabbits have a nest with babies in it about 10 feet from our pen - when we go out there, they hop around and taunt us!! If Mom would only let us loose one time, we'd show those varmints!!

Hi new friends! Y'all are simply gorgeous! Thank you so much for stopping by my human's blog to introduce yourselves. I love your blog and looking at your adventures! :)
ReplyDeleteSlobbery kisses,
Darcy (and her human)
All work and no play!Somebody's gottta watch out for those bunnies!
ReplyDeleteI love the fence! It looks very nice and Sibe proof:)
Hope Phantom feels better soon!
Sorry to hear that Phantom has not felt like Working... butt EVERY job needs a SUPERVISOR. RIGHT???
ReplyDeleteYour mom has created No Sibe Zones??? I'm not sure that is a good thingy. Have you shown her how you can JUMP???? I'm just hintin'. hehehe
I think the no-sibe zone for the flowers and shrubs are just fine, but don't you think they deserve something in the yard to call their own? Like the play equipment, for instance. Seems like a small trade-off for me.
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Stella
Hugs for Phantom and good wishes for feeling better!
What important work you're doing! Doesn't momster know that some people would pay thousands of dollars for such great excavation/pest control?? I mean, you're SAVING her money!!
ReplyDeleteFeel better Phantom! I'm sending some healing kisses your way!!
We forgot to comment on how ADORABLE Layla is!! Hope you can make furiends with her!!
ReplyDelete-Gizmo, Bart and Ruby
I think a basement apartment, under the condo, is a fabulous idea! Totally and investment and upgarde, to the property, that will pay off in spades, one day! Carry on!
ReplyDeleteFeel better, Phantom! I hope it helps to know, that even when you're feeling under the weather you are still one handsome Sibe!
ReplyDeleteThat is hard work...digging for bunnies! We hope Phantom starts to feel much better! Lots of love, Holly and mom
ReplyDeleteSend those bunnies an eviction notice!
ReplyDelete-Corbin
You know, I think you could hop that fancy fence easily! Don't tell your mom I suggested this!
ReplyDeleteRest up, Phantom. I am sure the weather is not helping your mood. Feel better soon.
Your pal, Pip
You are always busy doing something....I can see why Phantom needs a nap!
ReplyDeleteNo Sibe zone! It's so unfair! That is a pretty barricade :)
ReplyDeleteWyatt and Stanzie
You guys better slow down so you don't get overheated working so hard! Layla sure is purrrrty
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Oooooh - love that fancy fence, but much more... we love to see you hard at work, protecting the perimeter! And you two definitely make a great patrol! Phantom - hope you feel perkier very soon - rest and recover, dear pup!
ReplyDeleteHugs xoxoxo
Sammie, Avalon and Ozzie
Layla is a total babe! Of course, so is Ciara but she's just not quite my "type". BOL! Ya'll better keep those bunnies at arms length. Ask Frankie about the A Salt and Bunnery charges he recently experienced...
ReplyDeleteWiggles,
calhoun
Lalya is beautiful, as is that fencing around the sibe-free zone.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon Phantom!
Layla is gorgeous, but so are all of you!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletexxxxxxxx
You guys are like my Momma: she comes home after a long day at work and still looks glam and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteUnlike my Pops, who is all stinky and messy.
Sonic
Well if the garden is off limits, looks like you need to find more new places to "work". Have fun!
ReplyDeletecan woo maybe wait until after sunday?? don't want to miss out on any kinduv easter bunny visit, ok?!
ReplyDeletescratchies,
tm
Layla is a beaut! I bet she will be a very fun playmate, if you can manage to undo the gate!
ReplyDeleteBUNNIES!!! I can be right over to help you get those yummy bunnies out. Seriously. I love me some yummy bunnies! ;->
Phantom, I am sorry to read you are feeling a bit under the weather. You are a smart pup to just rest and relax. Let Ciara and TD do all the heavy labor. :-> Paws crossed you are back to full health soon!
Tsar and Bailey and Morgan know that somebody is living in the rock pile. They spend most of their outdoor time watching and sniffing and trying to adjust the rocks to get a better look.
ReplyDeleteMorgan, Tsar and the Porties
Be nice to the bunnies...remember, Easter is coming up and you don't want an Easter basket full of coal do you? Or am I confused?
ReplyDeletexoxo
Bunnies! Watch out guys!
ReplyDeleteyour neighbor pup is beautiful!

We use to have ground squirrels under out patio in Nebraska - they would drive me crazy and I was always trying to dig them out. I did catch one once and bought it in for mom and laid the dead little critter at her feet. Maybe you try that with your Mom - hmmm then again maybe not - my mom wasn't very happy when she saw it for some reason.
ReplyDeleteLayla is very cute !
ReplyDeleteI had a bunny brother for some time but I was too rough with him and so now he is at my human's sister's place where he is ALONE far away from the trouble I used to give him .... But that's OK I still get to see him sometimes !
I love bunnies !!!!!
We have rabbits in our yard too. They leave little presents behind. We never see them but we keep an eye out.
ReplyDeleteHope Phantom feels better! Love the fence. I love bunnies and I'd love one in my garden. Your neighbours pup Layla is bautiful!
ReplyDeleteLotsa Licks
Casper Bear
We hope Phantom gets to feeling better!
ReplyDeleteThe fence looks nice but we are trying to grasp the concept of a no-Sibe zone and can't quite understand what that means unless the momster plans on fencing off the entire backyard! :)
Oh Lord...please don't tell us you have rabbits! Riley caught (and ate half of) a baby bunny when she was about 3 months old...I had only had her for about a month at that point. Still gives me shudders!
ReplyDeleteWe hope you three Sibes are MUCH nicer to the furry little things in the yard than Riley was...!
I was wondering where Phantom was when I was reading this blog, but then you showed him resting at the end. We hope he feels back up to par soon!! :)
Elyse and Riley (the bunny killer!) :(
If you two scare away the bunnies there will be no rent treats.
ReplyDeleteLove Ruby & Penny
I can see you have been busy and digging like mad. I bet you find them if you keep going. My sweet woofie friend Phantom I hope youi are feeling better soon. HUgs GJ xx
ReplyDeleteYou guys sure are sneaky....good work my friends! Keep your mom on her toes and thinking.
ReplyDeleteSure do hope Phantom has a better week next week and feels more perky.
Mom has bunnies living in her garden and we love going in there to sniff around and see if we can find them!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots
Maggie and Mitch
A No Sibe Zone? Inconcievable!!!!.
ReplyDeleteWe wish some pesky rabbits would just dare to enter our yard, we can taste them now.
Remy and Flash
Good luck Momster, is all I can say!
ReplyDeleteReally, you would think some appreciation is in order for keeping such watchful control on the bunny population problem...you know if you let two get settled, in no time there will be HUNDREDS! Hope Phantom's back half of the week is better. Oh, and Layla looks cute but kind of bossy.
ReplyDeleteHow very thoughtful of you to dig a hole for the bunnies. I bet your mom really appreciates that! bol
ReplyDeleteHope Phantom gets to feeling better.
We hope Phantom is OK. Secretly we're hoping you won't catch the rabbit but instead by distracted by your nice new neighbour. think you will be allowed to play together?
ReplyDeleteI see how very hard you have been working,., there is no doubt in my mind at all!!
ReplyDeleteI hurried over to see you because my puter was broken, but it is home now,,,so good to see you again
love
tweedles
Whew! You all have been working HARD! Good job! I'm really proud of you and I now your momster must be proud of you, too! And she must also feel much safer knowing you're protecting her from those bunny rabbits.
ReplyDeleteWiggles & Wags,
Mayzie
Now there has to be a designated Sibe digging zone. It is in our contracts.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Stay strong, Phantom!
awww, rats, ya'll! your momster is totally makin' your gardenin' work a little more full of the complications with that fancy schmancy fencin' stuff! my mama is over here sayin' how pretty it is...traitor!! ;) anywho, nice work on your tunnelin' project under the playset. you'll have those bunnies dug out in no time!!
ReplyDelete*woof*
the booker man
pee s -- mr. phantom, you are smart to take a breakie from yard work today. it's so tiring 'n stuff, and deep down, i gotta admit that i like snoozin' better. heehee.
Well, really, your momster can't expect you to live without some sort of Siberian work zone! What are you supposed to do? Just laying outside in the grass sounds boring!
ReplyDeleteBunny
Wow - you have rabbits in your garden??!! Can I come to live with you? :-)
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
You two had better guard that hole day and night so that your rabbits don't escape! And, don't let that momster ruin *all* of your fun!
ReplyDeleteI hope that your brother Phantom is feeling better soon. Is it the thunderstorms that have him down?
Also, your grass is SO green. I'm jealous.
It's just a matter of time. I know it! I have every confidence in you Ciara!
ReplyDeleteKhady Lynn
I just had to stop by to check up on my furiend, Phantom. He's got the right idea. I'm not happy to hear about those no-sibe zones though. Tsk tsk.
ReplyDeleteLOVE YOU TONS!!!
Twink!
Layla is beautiful. She looks like a bundle of fun and I hope you get to play w/ her soon.
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say...All work and no play...They've just combined the two.
I'm so impressed that your fence is being respected.
Love to Phantom from all of us in the holler...
Nice fence around the "no Sibe zone!" You Sibes are just so good and respectful of the new gardens! Keep up the good work watching out for those rabbits! Can't have any critters in a Sibe yard!
ReplyDeletePhantom - we sure hope you'll be up to feeling well real soon.
well done guys! i would love to do that with u!!
ReplyDeletei hope phamtom is feeeling okay!!
You bad dogs, well I guess the plants might survive until you have dug every where else.
ReplyDeleteLicks Bobby
Are they relatives of Frankies Charcoals or of the Easter Bunny?
ReplyDeleteEither way be careful, cause you 'member how Our Mayor too a bunny beating just recently.
I gots some pesky squirrels here and sure could use some sibe help. So come on over!
woo woos, Tessa
My best friend´s!
ReplyDeletehow are you?
Oh those wascally wabbits. My old girl Kiva isn't doing much running anymore these days, but she still tries her best to out hop the bunnies and chase them out of her yard!
ReplyDeleteYour yard looks beautiful. Hoping Phantom is feeling a little better today.
Great work in your yard! We hope Phantom feels better!
ReplyDeleteThor and Jack
LOL!
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the fence looks pretty!
Hugs,
Oh, I see what you are doing! You are trying to create a diversion from fence hopping by digging a rabbit hole instead! Good thinking! Or is that hole going below ground so you can build a tunnel to get you to the fence and the shrubs?
ReplyDeleteWow, every dog's gotta dig! It's in the rule book isn't it?!? Sometimes peeps just forget this. The fence is an agility thing isn't it?!? I think this is all just to challenge and amuse you. Go to it!!
ReplyDeleteGrr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
Happy Earth Day, dear friends. Treat our planet kindly; it is truly a wonderful world.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a great job, in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteWags,
Zona
PeeS: Hope Phantom is feeling better.
Myself I make sure there are no No-Go zones. I few broken plantpots and squashed plants don't harm anyone. Misery is rather jealous of your momster's lovely garden though.
ReplyDeletePaws crossed for Phantom that he feels a bit brighter.
Pippa
You are very clever (and diligent) sibes! We gotta paw it to you! BTW - Do not be deterred by fancy new fence, we think it is penetrable!
ReplyDeleteThe Road Dogs
OoH I am so happy dat I finally got over here to see your neighbor pup Layla, her is so cute! I sure hopes you get a chance to meet her up close soon! Good luck gettin' dose bunnies too. I will send puppy prayers to Phantom to helps him feel better. :)
ReplyDeleteWoofs and Licks,
Maggie Mae
It's hard work to be a working breed and patrolling the perimeter for nuisance critters!
ReplyDeleteI hope Phantom is feeling better immediately and feels well enough to supervise the dynamic duo soon :)
Hope Phantom is feeling better now and can get back to work! Looks like there are always jobs to be done!
