OK, it was raining when Philip arrived in Texas, and it was raining when Philip left. Needless to say, our outdoor activities were curtailed to the point where Philip was going nuts being cooped up inside the house. It took every ounce of energy to keep up with the little fellow, because he just simply would not sit still!
From the moment Philip arrived, he wanted to be and act like a real Texan. So we loaned him our hat and our gun.
Like I said, we were cooped up inside the house because of the rain, but the little fellow just kept watching outside and the minute the rain let up for a second, he dashed outside and flew/ran right up a tree.
He said he could view things from up there that we couldn’t from the ground. So I relented and let him stay up there for a few minutes. Then, he spotted something way out at the back of the yard and off he went. He found Myrtle!
And Lilith!
And Alex! Although Alex wasn’t exactly sure how he felt about a teeny tiny pink flamingo for a friend…
Right after, Philip discovered a few of Zee’s toys lying about and of course, he just had to try them out. He zipped around the house fast enough to get a speeding ticket
And he slid down the banister enough times that I seriously considered spraying furniture wax on his little butt.
Finally, the time came for Philip to leave, and the husband, cheap as always, was actually going to charge Philip for his stay! Here they are trying to work out the costs involved.
Don’t worry. I was able to talk the husband out of charging Philip for his stay. Shame on the husband! Anyway, it was time for Philip to leave, so we all drove him down to the local UPS place where he stoically boarded his little box and away he went to New York. Sob. I’m going to miss that little feller!
OMG!!! That is so cute. I love him on the “fake” flamingo!! With you husband…priceless!!!! Thanks so much for putting these here. What fun we are having.
Thank you! Philip just absolutely fell in love with Myrtle.
Allison, That was so much fun! Oh Philip, he does seem like an indoor fella. The gun and the hat was so funny, what a Cowboy. So cute!!! I read it out loud to my husband, we laughed and laughed sounds like Philip had a wonderful time. And your husband wanting to charge him a boarding fee .LOL
Starla, we had THE best time with Philip. Even the husband got in on the act and had a blast doing it. Who would have thunk it? He’s usually such a stuffy fellow.
ROFLMAO………………..oh my gosh that one of your husband and him trying to figure out the cost…. I agree JOY — PRICELESS!
HA HA that’s a classic!!!
and sliding down the banister!
That was flippin’ funny!!!!!
You sure your husband wasn’t figuring the costs of putting you in the funny farm with the rest of us 🙂
JJ, he’s already tried to put me in the funny farm. Several times. But they wouldn’t take me.
This was very cute! Phillip is cute!
Philip IS a cuties! Hyperactive, but well mannered. We had a blast, and now I can hardly wait to get more buddies!
That was great! Your husband is funny too. 😀
Hey! Did I post the pics fast enough for ya?
Scared of that gun .. ahh ……..
Surely not! You can’t be afraid of guns. Egads! Around here you either carry a gun or “you ain’t Texan, honey”. At least that’s what everybody kept telling me.
LOL…those pictures are awesome!!! Your husband looks like he’s really trying to figure it out…TFF!!!!
Yea…that guns scares me too!!!!
Nikki, if you only knew the husband, you’d know that he really WAS trying to figure it all out.
Great photos! You did good!! (My favorite one is Alex being SO good!)
I bet Philip talks about Texas and his visit with you for years to come! What a hoot!
God I love his green scarf … it’s so fashion forward! Don’t you miss the little fellow???
hey did you see what your dragon did 🙂
Allison, this is soooooooooooo cute! Looks like Philip had a great visit- especially with your dog- LOL! OMG, so cute! Your husband even got in on it? Awesome!
