Ladies,
brace yourselves.

Are you ready?

Are you sure?

Get ready to…

swoon.

And yes, he’s single.
😉

He enjoys long walks around the neighborhood, chasing his tail, and hunkering down with a nice bully stick or a cold KONG at the end of a long day of marking his territory.
He also likes to snuggle.

April showers bring May flowers

Sunday night we had some loud, crazy, kinda scary, wind.
Then Monday it rained.
Today it snowed.
Yup, more snow!

Not much, just a light dusting, but that didn’t matter, Petal was still excited. 
She kept leading me to the leashes, barking at me and then nudging the leashes with her nose.
Who could say no to that?
Not me, that’s for sure.

Today looks like this.

So I bundled up and took them outside.
Despite all the layers I wore, I still nearly froze (the wind was ice cold).
But it was worth it to watch them race around the yard.

Petal and Penny played “circle around the weird box thing that’s been here way longer than any of us have!”
Petal won, as always. Penny cried, as always.
She’s still not as fast as Petal.

Ignore the weeds. I gotta get those pulled.

They also played fetch…

I swear Petal knows how to skip. ;P

Okay, so Penny played fetch, Petal just ran along beside her.
Petal says it’s only fair to let Penny win at something. 😉

Look at those ears!

And what did Lassie do, you ask?
He poked around the yard a little, peeing here and there, but mostly he just followed me around, enjoying the wind,

and the camera. 😉

Now I’m ready for a nap.

Hot Chocolate and Emu

I took Lassie for our usual one on one walk this morning. It’s a chilly, storm cloudy day today, so I took a mug of hot chocolate with me. 😉

No hot chocolate for Lassie, but he did get some cheese for his modeling services.

This morning I decided to go a slightly different route rather than our routine one, because why not?
We walked down a street we’ve never been down before. We saw a man checking his mail with his very old dog by his side. I saw a Border Collie keeping a close eye on me and Lassie, who never saw him as far as I know. We saw chickens (who run really funny, by the way, like a kid who’s pants are falling down) and a horse or two and plenty of other dogs. But the most interesting animal we saw had to be these guys:

I saw them and started taking pictures with my iPod. Lassie saw them, stared, and then went straight to the fence for a closer look.

He didn’t bark or growl, he just stared at these strange giant birds.
Even still, I called him right back to me after he got a good look at them. I didn’t want him to make them mad and one of them seemed to be working up the nerve to approach him.

I think Emu is the strangest animal Lassie has ever seen.

Lassie wants to know, what’s the oddest animal you have ever seen?

A Wild Penny

What is this?

It’s a wild Penny Pirana!
(Yeah, we’re working on what she can and cannot sink her teeth into: Yes you can chew on that toy. No you cannot chew on my fingers).

She is growing like a weed.
When she first got here she was shorter than our 20 pound, giant cat and then suddenly she woke up with these long legs and is now taller than the cat.
I hope my cousin still recognizes her. 😉
