Sleepy Puppy

Zzzzz.

Penny outgrew her black puppy collar, so I fitted her in one of Ella’s old ones.
A bittersweet moment for me. I used one Ella hadn’t worn in a long while, just to make it easier for myself. A light blue collar with hearts that are wearing off; the collar I bought her from Target before I discovered the durable Dublin Dog collars (that saved me a boatload of money, if only I had discovered them sooner for Ella The Destroyer of Collars).

Penny is so much like Ella that I often wish I could’ve seen how Ella would’ve felt about having a mini-me around.
Would she have loved it? Or would it have annoyed her?
I miss that crazy dog.

Cheater!

Hey everyone, Petal here.
I’ve taken over the keyboard to warn all you doggies that my cousin, Penny, is a dirty, lousy, ankle biting, tail snatching cheater.

Don’t think this sweet little face is capable of cheating?
Well, you’re wrong. So wrong, friends.
Just look at the photographic proof!
Example number 1:
Here I am, minding my own business,

Then all of the sudden,

she came running out of no where and body slammed me!
Thud, right against my ribs.
Good thing I’m a super strong super hero and just laughed it off, like super strong pups do.

Example number 2:

Here we are, enjoying a lovely game of chase, but why is Penny running with her mouth wide open like that?

Looks like she’s getting ready to take a bite out of something, doesn’t she?
That’s because she is.

Yes, that IS my tail in her mouth! The little piranha!

You see, Penny is jealous of my spectacular speed, but instead of simply being faster, she grabs hold of my tail to keep up.
Cheater.

Case closed.
Penny is a cheater cheater, poopoo pumpkin eater.
But we still have fun.

Yours truly,

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: More snow?!

Yesterday

He doesn’t look very impressed with the pile of snow my little sister put on his head, does he?

Today

P.S. What do you think of our new look?
Funny enough I changed the blog’s look because I didn’t want a snowy header anymore (I couldn’t change just the header, once I got going I couldn’t stop until it was all changed, haha), I wanted a fresh look. So I revamped the place during yesterday’s snow storm.
I have good timing, I know.





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.

A Wild Penny

What is this?

photo awildpenny.png

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. 😉

Delectable Collie Fluff

I hold in my hand a ball of Collie fluff…

but good luck convincing a certain puppy of that.
Penny is convinced it’s not just “Collie fluff”, she’s convinced it’s a delicious and wonderful toy/treat!

photo yummycolliefluff.png
“It’s filled with happiness and joy.
Don’t take it from me.”

I’m always fishing Collie hair out of her mouth.
She stalks me while I brush Lassie and Petal.
Her eyes and head follow the brush’s every move and the second I turn it around to pull out the fluff, she bounces, grabs a mouthful straight from the prickly pin brush, and runs off with it.
She pulls it apart, chews on it, pulls it apart again, and chews some more until it’s a big, slobbery, knot of nastiness hanging out of the side of her mouth, which I have to pick off.
Gross.

It’s funny, annoying and gross all at once.
