Not Funny!
“You may think you’re funny, Mom,”
“but you’re NOT!!”
Oh, but I am, Lassie.
I am.
I’m hilarious.
Dearest Readers (yes, you!), we would love to see some pictures of our doggie friends on our Facebook! If you’re interested and willing, please go post a picture of your sweet dog(s) on our Facebook wall! Include their name(s) and, if you wish, their blog and/or Facebook urls! It’ll be fun and nice to see all your gorgeous dogs. 😀
Thank you for reading.
Have a nice day!

My Dog Washes Dishes
Yard work isn’t the only chore Petal does around here.
The dishes need scrubbing just as much as the yard needs raking.
“I’m ready to wash some dishes!”
“I’ve got my scrub brush and the sink is filled with soap and water!”
“Phew! This is hard work!”
“All finished! May I have a cookie now?”
“Just because you have to do icky chores doesn’t mean you can’t look cute while doing them!”
Disclaimer: Petal is still not available for hire. Sorry folks.
P.S. If you’re thinking “Oh, poor dog!” “What a mean thing to do to the poor little thing!”— think again. Petal didn’t mind one bit and happily posed for each picture in exchange for several tasty dog treats. Petal was born to entertain… and be dressed. ;]
Happy Saturday!

Mr. Adorable Face
This face.
This face kills me.
It’s his “Are you gonna throw that? ‘Cause I want it. Throw it! Throw it! Throw it!” face.
AKA his Mr. Adorable Face.
Iloveit.
Do your dogs make any face that are extra super cute?
When do they make it? For a treat? Their favorite toy?
Gotcha! Miss Petal
Today is Petal’s Gotcha Day.
Two years ago today she came here to live with us.
And she fit right in, like she’s always been here.
Two years ago today she came here to live with us.
And she fit right in, like she’s always been here.
To celebrate two years with this crazy, silly, and amazing dog, I thought I would put together some pictures from her very first year with us. One month at a time.
This will be a very image heavy post, of course.
But it’s filled with adorable puppy pictures, so how can you resist?
That’s right, you can’t.
Because saying no to puppies is like saying no to sunshine and happiness.
So enjoy!

She’s changed so much, but at the same time, she hasn’t changed a bit.
Happy Gotcha Day, Petal!

Five Random Facts: Lassie
1: Lassie, despite what the name may suggest, is indeed a boy. For those of you who didn’t already know. I originally wanted a female Collie, because I knew Lassie meant girl, but my Mom wouldn’t let me get a girl dog at the time (she didn’t want to deal with a female going into heat, can’t say I blame her). So I got a boy and stubbornly stuck with the name I so badly wanted to give my Collie. I ignored anyone who tried to convince me to call him Laddie instead.
2: He’s my best friend and second shadow. He has been since I was 13. And, from the time that I was 13, all of his training was/has been done by me. He went to one training class, because my Dad and grandma insisted on it, at Petsmart. He already knew most of the commands the trainer taught (him and I were also the youngest dog/owner there), but it was still fun.
3: My Mom and I built him an agility course when I was about 14 or 15. He loved doing all the jumps and the weave poles were kind of fun, too, but the jumps were his favorite. He still, to this day, prefers jumping to anything else. He’d rather jump for a ball thrown straight into the air than run after a ball thrown straight ahead.
4: Children = Sheep. Lassie loves any and all “sheep” though he will herd them any chance he gets. Lovingly, of course. ;] But babies will always be his favorite. He’s so gentle and sweet with them.
5: Suitcases upset him. He knows they mean I’m leaving for more than just a few hours and he might not be going with. He gets ridiculously excited when he does get to go.
That’s my handsome boy that I could ramble about for hours and days.
But I’ll spare you and stop here. ;]
P.S.
My Dog Does Yard Work
Oh Petal.
When she’s not being sweet and innocent, she’s being demanding and crazy.
But she does yard work, so I can’t complain.
What?
You don’t believe me?
See for yourself!
My dog does yard work!
Here she is working on pulling out one of those pesky, weird stick things (hush, I don’t know what they are).
She got it!
It’s pretty much impossible to tell in this picture, but she did get the entire thing out, root and all.
Ella does this too sometimes. They pull one out, run around the yard with them, toss them aside, then start all over again. It’s like a weird little game.
Ella, however, doesn’t take her yard work as seriously as Petal does.
It’s not all just fun and games, she says.
You’ve also got to rake the yard.
It may appear that she gave up too quickly, but she was really just tired, after all, she had just finished raking the other side of the yard.
(No, not really, but wouldn’t that have been cool? She has pulled it around a lot more than she did in this video, I just unfortunately didn’t have the camera on me that time, so you’ll just have to take my word for it).
Disclaimer: Petal is not available for hire at this time.
You’ll have to get your own dog to do the yard work. ;]
