Tuff

 The boys like to play rough, mostly it's noise and showing of teeth, but sometimes it can get a little too much, so I stop it, by standing in the middle of the room and telling them that's enough, they will stop.

Well today they were playing and getting rough, when the UPS man came. Now it's not the UPS man they don't like, it's his truck, they want to kill it. They were not paying attention when the truck pulled up, busy playing, so when he rang the door bell. They went nuts, and Jake bit Elvis on the ear. After I got them settled down I saw Blood. Took Elvis to the vet.

 Just a small puncture wound to the ear. The vet fixed it with some surgical glue, and  gave us an antibiotic just to be safe.. He's fine I always over react. I should tell the UPS man he don't need to ring the bell, they let me know when he's on our street.                            They are Good Boys

What?

                            You knew it was gonna happen, didn't you?

Abby sitting with Pete

Jake "WTF"

Pete "Come on "

Jake "it's cool"

                          Neither Betty  or Lucy wanted to be part of this.
                                           What Good Dogs

Woof

                         See if you can picture this happening.
  It's 3:30am Lucy goes out to potty. It's 4:30 am Lucy starts "woof .....woof.....woof.........woof woof " Pete (knowing Lucy can't really hear anymore)  "Lucy go back to bed ......"Woof .....woof "   Pete, "Lucy it's too early go back to bed... woof.......woof " Pete gets up, Lucy just lays there Looking at him ............grrrrrrrrrr  He makes her bed, she climbs in goes back to sleep...

                                       This happens all the time now
                                           

                  She prefers her bed to be made these days  She's a Good Girl

Package

 We got a package in the mail the other day, from Aunt Lynn. All the way from New York City.  I saw it was addressed to me and Jake so I set it down and said "Jakey that's for you", like he knew what I was saying, he started tearing the box up. He has never done this before with boxes.

Of course he completely ate all the pieces he tore off 

                     It didn't take long for them to tear into it, just look

A stuffie dinner plate yum

Caught

                                     I caught him......

                He's usually too fast to get caught... I know, but he's a Good boy

Really

          Elvis, he's just so darn cute. Look how handsome he is just sitting there.
                                        He's  a Good Looking Boy

                                           Yeah sure he is.
 Look closer, he actually thinks he can now take the recycling out side with him.

                                 
         And I can just hear Christopher telling me "But Mom HE"S A GOOD BOY"

Occupying

  Oh dear, word has it that our friends  Coco The Princess, Lady Godiva, and Truffel need some help. Something big  is going on at their house and they are worried. Their mom sold their GASP couch, and we are just sick to here that GASP more than half of their toys have disappeared, now they are really worried about the rest of their toys. Being the smart girls that they are and since Pip's Occupy Your Couch went so well for him, they are asking for some help. Well we are happy to help. We are gonna keep all our chewed toy in the middle of the room until the girls figure out whats happening at their house. Stick together girls, keep your toys close.

                     We are Good Dogs and we support Occupy Your Toys

Birthday

                                  Happy Birthday Abby

 Look who turned 10 on Wednesday.  She does not act like she is 10, we think much younger. She is adjusting very well and really coming out of her shell. Every day we see something different from her, just adjusting to life with a house full of dogs, we are pretty sure she had been an only dog. She is not used to being outside much. I sit outside with them, but she always wants to go in.

 I've noticed lately, her starting to go out by herself, she comes right back in, but at least she trying, and on Saturday I found her laying in the sun by herself, That's a first. I am so excited for her and happy to see enjoying the sun.

 Then on Sunday she ate at the same time as the rest of the dogs, just not in the same room, that's a big step. She is trying to figure out how to play with mostly Jake and Betty, she'll figure it out get in time. She is playful with us humans and really seems to love running in the mornings.

                                             She is a Good Girl

Alone

 While our company was here, we spent a lot of time away from the house. Most of you know Elvis does not like that and tends to let us know by wetting all over the house. So it was very hard, but I left the back door open for them. They did just fine the first week and most of the second week, but then Pete wasn't able to run for 3 days. Jake got a little restless.

 When I found Jake sitting up on the table, I should have known, they'd had enough of me being gone all day. I put the bottoms of the bed on the table to wash them, I guess I didn't get that done in time for Jake.

Elvis and Betty were okay with it

We came home on this Tuesday after being gone most of the day, the dogs greeted me with the usual jumps and barking like I 'd been gone forever, Jake and Elvis like to greet with toys in their mouth. Jake ran to the back porch to get his treasure for me.
               Beware the photos below may be graphic

Yes he brought me the turtle, he's a Florida Redbelly Cooter, we call him Cooter, we've had him about ten years now. By the looks of the turtle, Jake had been chewing on him for some time. I felt so bad, the poor turtle. I am happy to say he is just fine and not at all afraid to sun on his rock. I don't think I'll leave the back door open while I'm not home anymore, and I will not let Jake get the turtle again.

                                                  Good Dogs?

Were Back

 Well, we are back. We had a great visit, with some great company. Now we gonna work on finding what normal is around here. Just before our company arrived, Tom the last kid at home, moved to Austin, so Pete and I are empty nesters, well if you can call 5 dogs empty nesters. As you know Pete runs 4 of the 5 dogs every morning, but what you may not know is he willingly rides his bike to work, most days, about a half hour ride each way. YES HE"S CRAZY. His work recently moved and it now about an hour ride, each way. So he's trying to find the right balance between running and riding, without completely wearing him out at night.

                                 We sure hope he gets it figured out soon
                                              We are Good Dogs
