Around here…
we’re all just a bunch of weirdos.

I have proof!
I have proof. I finally have proof.
Proof that these two CAN get along!
And I caught it all on camera.
So there’s no way to deny it ever happened…
Ella and Pancake were SPOONING.
Now for those of you imagining my lovable lab mix spooning with the tasty breakfast food, you’d be imagining it all wrong. Because Pancake is not a breakfast meal, Pancake is my sister’s cat who pretty much came with the house (and his name, which he knows and comes to, so there was no changing it).
Now normally (just last night, in fact) we have to scold Ella for charging this poor cat.
The weird thing is is she never ever treats Harriet, the other cat, the way she treats Pancake. She barks at Pancake, pretends like she’s going to chase him down, gets right in his face and just pesters him.
She’s treats Harriet more like a delicate little puppy or something.
Maybe it’s because Harriet is only 8 lbs while Pancake is 20 lbs (yes, he’s huge).
Or maybe it’s because we never interfered with that relationship as much, we simply encouraged Ella to be gentle with Harriet, rather than scolding her like we do when she’s not particularly kind to Pancake.
Whatever the cause, clearly they CAN get along.
And clearly Pancake is quite the booty lover.
Ella loves…
1: Ella loves to give kisses until the recipient can no longer breathe.
2: Ella loves to wag, wag, wag her tail and do a little dance whenever she’s excited. Not even whipping herself in the eye with her own tail will keep her from happy dancing.
3: Ella loves to ‘roo, roo, roooo!’ Especially after I’ve finally gotten the collies to quiet down (anyone who owns collies will likely know how difficult this can be at times).
4: Ella loves to ride in the car.
5: Ella loves to get all wet and then roll in the dirt.
6: Ella loves neck scratches.
7: Ella loves breaking the rules and then giving you that wide-eyed innocent look so she can get away with it.
8: Ella loves to carry things, whether it be a sock, a shoe, a toy, or a piece of paper.
9: Ella secretly loves to snuggle with Petal.
10: Ella loves silencing those squeaky toys forever and hiding/keeping the toys away from the collies.
11: Ella loves her collies.
11: Ella loves her collies.

New Toys!
My spoiled dogs received some new toys from Planet Dog (my our newest obsession) on Thursday. They got a Orbee-Tuff RecycleBONE (black!) and a blue and green Orbee-Tuff ball on a rope! We got the ball for our walks and to try out in the water and we got the bone just because it’s fun.
Bone!
Ball!
Both of them have been a big hit already, though I did put the ball up so we wouldn’t lose it before we got to test it out in the water. All three of them have loved the bone, especially when I put little treats inside of it. Petal was the first one to claim, taking it out of the box when it arrived in the mail and running off with it before I could get the tag off. After getting that off, Ella took it and had a great time chomping on it until she fell asleep, but since Ella’s not one to lose (even when snoozing.. get it?) she crossed her paws over it and took a nap like this…
Mine!!
Lassie has also given the bone a good chew and found that it’s pretty nice! Much better than most of the rubber toys we buy (though we still love KONG too).
But Lassie’s favorite is still the limited edition Orbee we got several weeks ago.
He loves how high this ball bounces and bounces right along with it. It’s adorable.
We also have the Orbee snowball, which is Ella and Petal’s favorite ball. I think they like that it’s lighter and chewier. They often walk around just chomping on it, like it’s a giant gum ball.
Hey, there’s an idea for you Planet Dog! Gum ball Orbees! ;]
wink! wink!
And now I’ll leave you all with..
Collie butts!
Sleepy Dogs.
The end of this week has been pretty low-key so far with the cold weather we’ve been having (come on, where’s Spring?!). So I’ve been able to capture some sleepy dog moments. And what’s cuter than a picture of a sleeping dog?
How about a sleeping dog and cat?
Or maybe…
A sleepy dog wrapped in a blanket and using a pillow.
Or maybe even…
Cuddling Collies.
(I snapped so many pictures of this particular moment because it happens so rarely, haha)
😀
