lazy Saturday

Photobucket
“Hey guys, wanna play?!”

  Photobucket
“Lassie, I think it’s about time we taught that pup about Lazy Saturdays.”

Photobucket
“The best way to teach her is by example.”

Photobucket
“Good idea.”

After a nice morning in the yard, we are enjoying a lovely, lazy Saturday afternoon.
I’m still cozy in my pajamas and watching the snow fall out the window.
A perfect Saturday.

Happy Saturday! ;]

Playing Tug

Ella and Petal absolutely love to play tug together.
They will tug on anything.
Seriously.
It doesn’t have to be a dog toy.
You name it, they’ll play tug with it.

Socks? Of course!

Any other article of clothing? Let’s do it!

Paper? Totally!

Teeny tiny pieces of cardboard? Why not!

Blankets? Oh yeah!

Sticks?

Who wouldn’t?!

A New Year

It’s so strange to see, on the right hand side, under “All Posts”, a new year.
A third year of blogging.
2010 has a pathetic amount of posts and then 2011 easily outdid 2010 as far as post count goes.
I wonder if 2012 will be able to keep up and outshine 2011.
I’m curious to see what this new year will bring for me and my dogs. I hope it’s good.
Especially if it’s supposedly the last year before the end of the world.
Then it had better be pretty darn amazing!
(I still think that the Mayan’s just got too tired and figured someone else would finish the calender for them if people were still around come 2012).


2011 brought a lot of new experiences and memories with the dogs.
Like Petal’s first camping trip.
The dogs tried bully sticks for the first time.
Petal learned how to p a i n t.
Lassie earned his CGC.
I caught two pets, that supposedly don’t enjoy each other’s company much, SPOONING.
The dogs found a new l o v e.
And the girls took up yoga.
Petal made a new friend and had a sleepover.
We wrote our very first review and really enjoyed it.
And so much more!

2011 was a great year.
Thank you all for following, reading, commenting and just being awesome in general.

Bring it on 2012!

“What’s that, Lassie?!”
“I think it’s a new year, Ella!” 

Ella’s Puppy

Thursday, while running errands with my Mom and little sister, we ended up at a thrift store, looking through toys. I found two really cute stuffed animals, a dog and a piggy, one for a dollar and the other one for fifty cents. Now when I found the cute, burgundy dog, I immediately thought of Ella because we use to have this sweet little blue dog stuffy and Ella carried it everywhere with her when she was a puppy.
So of course I had to buy the cute little thing.
And what was the first thing Ella did when I walked in the door?
She stuck her head in the bags (too see what I got, as always) and pulled out the burgundy dog.
And she’s been clinging to him ever since.

See that blur of her tail? Wagging a mile a minute.

I knew it would be a big hit, I just didn’t realize HOW big of a hit he would be.

Photobucket
“C’mon, Ella! Give me a turn!”
“No! He’s mine!”

Photobucket
Nap time.


If only they had two!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Christmas loot

Photobucket

For Christmas these lucky dogs got some new toys! And a few treats, too.
They’ve been having lots of fun with their new toys.
They got…

Photobucket
A new rope to play tug with…

Photobucket
Three (super cute) squeaky balloon animals…

Photobucket
And a Planet Dog light bulb!

The dogs are pretty pleased with their new stuff.
They love to chase down the bouncy lightbulb, squeak the balloon animals and play tug and keep-away with their rope.

Hope you all enjoyed your holidays and are ready for a new year!
