My little helpers

Since I'm having some troubles with my camera there won't be any pictures on this post but let me fill you in on what Jack & Blue have been up to.
We've been having good weather around here so we've gone on adventure walks where they lead me around the neighborhood and (thankfully) always manage to lead me back up to their circle. They experienced what its like to have a hot air balloon floating over them, they just bark at the noise of the burner.
One afternoon we were playing in the backyard but when it came time to water the plants, they head inside to the air-conditioning and by the time I'm done they're sacked out napping on the couch!!
Last night the dogs had an ornery streak by stealing my kolache off the kitchen table and perfectly got it out its plastic container. I got back to the empty container on the front family room floor and 4 innocent eyes peering from the couch. I have no idea who initiated or even how they pulled off the whole fiasco but I wish I would've had a kolache-cam to find out!
This morning, they woke me up at 6am to go potty by playing "paws in the face" which isn't always pleasant first thing in the morning but very effective. Once you make a good faith effort to get up they stop and just look at you sweetly to put their collars on. When they came back to lay back down they were the best 2 snuggle bugs one could ask for.
I'll miss these 2 -oodles but it won't be long until we get to hang out again!!

Last 3 days!

I'm back hanging out with Jack & Blue. I missed their smiling faces and funny antics!They're the best greeters, I'm sure their family can't wait to come home to them.
Everyone stuck their tongues out...

Me & the doggies! They're BIG TIME cuddlers and they can't stand have one being closer to me than the other. They miss their family!!

2 of their favorite things

When I met Matthew he told me to be careful and not say 3 things in front of the dogs, or else they get excited, "Don't say 'Go on a walk', 'Go for a car-ride', or 'Go on a boat-ride.'"
Since I knew they loved these things and it was such a beautiful day, we did 2/3!

Nice weather, long walk, tired pups

It was so nice out today we decided to go on a walk!

Afterwards everyone was tired

Except when it comes to squirrels torturing them in the backyard, in this picture it's climbing up the fence...

There it is sitting on one of the fence posts

Fresh Breath

Who wants their teeth brushed?Not Blue!Sniff Test

Still not convinced

Afterward they're happy and have clean teeth! Katie and Matthew should be proud!

Harder than it looks...

I tried making dinner for Jack and Blue tonight. I heated up the rice and added some kibble... but this didn't meet Jack and Blue's standard. Location is key!

This is the hungry dogs after running around the house with me.

Jack checks out the food...but isn't too sure.

...still not good even scooted over

Over by the dinner table, good to go! Blue even decided she'd try to help Jack with his.

Jack, you got a little something on your nose!

Jack and Blue Girl

Jack and Blue Girl had quite the day yesterday! They got to go on a walk around the block to smell all sorts of smells, say hello to other dogs, and practice running on the double leash. Sometimes it was like a brain teaser to get myself and the 2 dogs untangled from the double leash but we all had fun!

Blue girl is enjoying getting home-made meals since Jack wasn't feeling good Friday. They both had rice and hamburger for lunch and dinner. Jack hasn't had an upset tummy at all and enjoys getting his peanut butter coated meds.

Jack and Blue slept in with me this morning (minus an early morning potty break) and then when it was time for breakfast, were very patient as I warmed everything up. I added some kibble to see if Jack can keep it down since he seems to be feeling so much better. Afterwards the 2 were running around, rough housing. Somehow Blue thinks I should be on her team and help her get away from Jack...unfortunately for her, I won't play favorites & I think its hilarious to watch them play with each other!!

The many faces of the little rock star

Who are you looking at missy?

Don't mind me, I'm just chewing my toy!

Is this my good side?

That's right, I'm the big tough guard dog

This is the only way my mouth can hold it!

Rocky Anatomy

Rocky and I are continuing to have fun hanging out together. It was pretty hot outside so we didn't get to play outside for too long but we made up for it inside! He is doing great with all of his homework, today's grade: A+

His tail for wagging

His tongue for licking

His belly for rubbing


His handsome face for loving

Rocky

Today has been a full day, we went on a walk, played, and then at the end of the night, the puppy still has more energy!! Here is a photo journal of what goes through his mind.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What toy do I wanna play with?"

"Jelly fish?"

"Katie?"

"Rope toy?"

"Multi-colored rope toy?"

"Ball?"

"Squid shaped toy....sounds good!!"

"I'm winning!"

"Wanna play again??"

----------------------------------------------------------------

I can tell we're gonna have a lot of fun together!

Abby and Carl

Smile for the camera!! "Miss you mom and dad!"
