Tinkerbell's BBQ 7-21-07 Just in general, the kids love barbeques. This, however, was special. Normally it's for all the kids and it's a birthday celebration. This was just a chance for them to get together with their favorite aunts and uncles and be spoiled stinky rotten. Auntie Fawn started out the event by bringing big, fun stuffed things! Children love stuffed things!
Don't touch Tinky's stuffed things!!!
Now, it'd been long enough since Star saw Vic and Steve, he'd forgotten them. Silly puppy! He eventually started warming up to them, but he was pretty skittish around Vic until nearly the end. Vic's a big, scary guy! He might hurt teeny, tiny little Star!!! Here John protects a wary Starbreaker from a thoroughly amused Uncle Vic.
But Star totally loves his Auntie Fawn...
TOTALLY loves his Auntie Fawn.
And Tinkerbell loves her Uncle Steve.
Dave was at an SCA event in Idaho and couldn't come to the BBQ, but he let me doggie-sit Yaeger and so Yaeger got to go to the BBQ. Yay! He was a hit, and Uncle Steve spent almost as much time playing with Yaeger as he did petting Tinkerbell. Well, and to be fair, Yaeger insisted on it. He wouldn't leave Steve alone. It was hysterical.
Steve just kept throwing the blue thing until finally, it went into the pond. Yep, that would be the unfinished pond that had the cave-in. Somewhat unfortunately, Yaeger was a very good boy and tried hard to help us get it out. After which he spent some time in the rain, and then went under the porch a few times for good measure. Yaeger is now a VERY dirty dog. Really the pictures don't do justice to how truly filthy he is and I can just see Dave's face when I give him back. Not sure I'll be allowed to dog sit ever again. *grin*
Well, and most BBQ's are a "please feed the pets" event; this was no exception. Tummies full of all sorts of things Mommy never lets them have, they lay contentedly at our feet and farted until we were all forced to leave the deck and go get brownies. Here, Star sneaks one out....
Eventually, everyone was able to breathe again and the kids settled down to more serious attention whoring...
Eventually, Star warmed up to Steve and started demanding attention from him, and at the very last, he was getting curious about Vic, too. About the time Kelli showed up, there were no more peal-out marks on the deck from where Star had scooted out of range when he realized *gasp* Vic was the one petting him! It started to get dark and started raining pitchforks and calico cats, so most of the gang went home. Here we see Steve saying goodbye to his favorite baby grrr, and a jealous Starbreaker.
Kelli stayed for a bit and we just chatted, which we hadn't had the opportunity to do in a long time. It was fun. At one point I looked up and noticed that all 3 of the kids were totally crashed out, and check out Star's new pillow!
Today is a new day. I've got the house back to normal, the dishes done, the food put away, and I'm munching on a leftover mini cornbread muffin that Fawn made. My guests have no clue that they missed part two of the farting event, and the methane levels in the house are reaching near lethal levels.
