The BOMB

Welcome to the BOMB.



The Blog Of the "Mother" of Bandit.
Bandit is my Hairless Chinese Crested--he's the "normal" one. I, on the other hand, am unrepentantly "pet-crazy." You know the type--the spinster who lives in the haunted house three blocks over with 72 cats...okay, so I don't have 72 cats, and my house isn't haunted--but my dogs wardrobe is better than mine! Need I say more? :~)
I've never been consistant at journaling, so the timing of my blogs will be sporadic at best. I just hope they are as entertaining to you as they are to me; however, be forewarned: Most of my blogs will be about The BaldOne. In spite of his Don King "do," I think he's just as cute as any of the Brothers B!
Now, if I can just remember not to get him wet--or feed him after midnight...

About Me

My photo
My bags are packed and I'm always ready to seek out an adventure with Bandit and Moggy in tow. Bandit is my thirteen year old Chinese Crested, who I frequently call The Bald One or The BaldOne Boy (like he was one of the Baldwin Brothers). Moggy’s full name is Pip-Moggy. He’s my two year old gansta-resuce kitty. I couldn’t decide between Pip (which are the spots on die and domino tiles) and Moggy (or Moggie when I mistakenly thought he was a she), so I combined the two. Moggy refers to the British term for "cat of unknown parentage .” So in essence, I have an almost bald dog, and I’ve named my cat “Spot.”

Somewhere There is a Bag of Squirrel Corn

So the squirrels pretty much polished  off the caged corn cob on the  bungee cord. I have a bag of dried corn cobs to refill the squirrel feeder.
 
Somewhere

I remember placing the corn cobs in a large airtight container. And placing the container....

Somewhere.

I just can't recall the exact location of the elusive somewhere.

I refuse to buy more corn cobs until I find the ones I already have, and the squirrels have eaten all of them.

Besides,  HEB didn't have any.  Yes.  I checked. 

But only because the squirrels are hungry.  And I might have to buy some corn to tide them over until I can find that blasted bag.  But it's a moot point since HEB didn't have any squirrel corn cobs.  

What  they did have was frozen corn on the cob.

No, I did not buy the squirrels frozen corn on the cob--my freezer is full. Besides,  I just need to find that bag of cobs.  It's...

Somewhere.

Okay, so I don't have freezer space for squirrel corn.  But the squirrels have to eat and HEB also has fresh packaged corn on the cob--already shucked, silks removed, and cut into same size ears.

But I'm not buying packaged corn for the squirrels either.  I'll sometimes splurge and buy it for me, but I usually just grab the loose ears in the produce department. They are great nuked--easy peasy, and depending on the time of year they run 4-6 for $1. I figure I can shell out a buck until I locate that stupid bag of squirrel corn. Besides, I'll probably get to eat most of the fresh ears.

I guess it's still too early in the season.  Or else Covid has run up the price of corn.  They were 3 for $1.  And the ears were unimpressive. Still, the squirrels need to eat and I can have the remaining ears once I find the bag.

It'll be a race to see who gets to eat the remaining two ears of corn--me or the squirrels--but I'm going through all the cabinets today. So I'm confident I'll win the race.  I really like corn on the cobb.

When I find that bag of squirrel corn, they better not turn their noses up at it,  because I'm not going to be buying them fresh corn on a regular basis.  This is a one time purchase for the squirrels--and only because it's an emergency.

I already spoil my other kids--locally sourced small batch dog food, no cat food made in China or Taiwan, premium bird seed, home-made dye-free  Audubon approved nector for the hummers, water features for the birds, toads, and fireflies--and the list goes on.  I'm not adding  buying fresh corn for the squirrels to the list.  At least not on a regular basis.   Not after today.

But I'll check Amazon for fresh corn storage. 

Just in case.
