Who needs Spring?  We've got Summer!

Pretty Presents

My Two Special Gifts!

Doesn't Dhali look teenager-ish?  

The best gift(s) I ever bought myself.

And now the funny outtake, blooper pictures.  Hee hee hee!

"Sun is TOO bright, ewww."

"Eyes, pain.  Too bright."

"I'm being tortured by this extremely heavy ribbon.  Ugh, it's cold out here and my feet are freezing.  I can't move!  I'm frozen.  Oh, woe is me, I will die here in this frozen wasteland, while you take pictures to document my becoming an icicle.  Oh WOE is me."

Rubba Dub Dub

One dog in the tub!

Rubba dub dub....

Two dogs in the tub! 

Tibby: "Don't look so happy about it."

Dhali: "I can't help it!!!"

Dhali: "Mmm, my bubbles taste yummy.

Tibby: "That's gross.  Stop eating the bubbles."

Dhali: "I can't help it!  They're jumping into my mouth!"

Wordless Wednesday - Little Bro & Big Sis

Fortune Cookie

"There is nothing final about a mistake, except its being taken as final."

Hmmm, deep thinking from the cookie.

Beautiful Babies

I've got a couple of beautiful babies.  

This picture is amazing when you remember that Dhali doesn't have a stay/wait/don't move!  command.  I think he's just used to the camera in his face.

Tibby's wait is rock solid.  On this hike I considered tying Dhali to Tibby, just to get him to stay put!!  But it turns out I didn't have to :)

Below is the original picture before I sent it through the time machine adjuster thingy. 

First Time Away and Ice Cream

I picked Dhali and Tibby up from their overnight stay tonight.  It was Dhali's first time staying away from home.  I think it will be their first and last time at this place.  I don't want to say where it was, because it is a very nice place and if it's what you like then you would be very happy, but for my dogs it wasn't a perfect fit. I just like Woof Dah better.

Yeah, there are a lot of dogs running around at Woof Dah, but it works better for Tibby (have to see for Dhali).

Unfortunately they don't take un-neutered dogs or dogs under 15lbs, so Dhali has some growing to do before he can try Woof Dah out.

If I'm going to pay $255 for 35 hours of care then I want someone to be with them 24/7 (like they are at Woof Dah).

For $255 I want them to have more than 4 hours of playtime.

For $255 I want a report card.

For $255 I want some pictures and I want to watch them on a web cam.

At Woof Dah I know that I can always see what they are doing during the day and I know that someone is watching them at night (sleeping with them).

They get to play 24/7.

Tibby has never gotten in the car, after a visit to Woof Dah, and whined for 30 mins.  When we stopped both dogs had to poop really, really bad.  I think they had been in their 'suite' waiting to be let out to potty.  Usually Tibby gets in the car, rolls onto her back and goes to sleep for a couple days.  Tonight both dogs were wound up, bouncing - until they collapsed after a little while at home.

In an ideal world I could find someone to stay at my house and take care of them.  $255 for 35 hours - anyone interested????  :P

It can all be fixed with a little ice cream!  We stopped for a snack on the way home and Dhali had his first ice cream :)  Here was the post last year about Tibby's first ice cream.  Same Culver's and everything LOL!  Dhali and Tibby say they will be Culver's spokes dogs ANYTIME.

"Mmmmmmm!"

"Hello!  My name is Moe! justkidding!"

And a video of the ice creaminess.  They were very well behaved and shared like good doggies.  It was a really busy parking lot and Tibby did a good job of being relaxed.  I think she has finally figured out the crate is a safe place.

Training Fun With Two Dogs

I thought you all might like to see a little training session I did with Tibby and Lucy this weekend.  You have to remember that before this weekend Lucy was labeled as 'dog aggresive' and she has NEVER in her entire life been allowed to play or interact (except barking/lunging on a leash) with another dog.

I thought they were pretty cute.  And super focused.  Competition at its best LOL!

I took a bunch of pictures of Lucy and Tibby and gave them to Lucy's owners yesterday.  They couldn't believe that Lucy and Tibby could play together.  They were shocked.  When we walked up to their place (Tibby was with me, of course) they were all worried about putting Lucy away, because they thought she would try to 'get Tibby'.  When Tibby and Lucy just sniffed each other and said 'hey', they were stunned.  Ha.  Ha.  Ha.

My Friend

Sleepy furry friends.

Yes, Tibby does pull Catty's tail, but she also cuddles with her.  They do more snuggling than tail pulling.
