Manic Monday

We had a busy weekend, and it spilled over into our Monday.

Helped mom wrap (or was it unwrap) grandma's birthday gift.

Who started it?? Guess anything on the floor is fair game huh?

Had a lot of fun at the park! We saw a lovely collie dog who was happy to make our acquaintance. Their humans loved over us too. We also saw other life in the park. We spotted the blue heron, but mom was unable to get a picture because it flew away so quickly. We haven't been able to get a good shot at it yet.

We did see this creature too. It was hanging in our path.

Oh, and there was a black snake that mom screamed at when she saw it. Of course no picture of that either.

Tonight while out playing the cardinal came to visit.


We also got really hungry from all the hard playing.

Aiden tried a taste of Abby, but she didn't think it was a good idea. So, we went inside then for some kibble.

Yard Work Is Hard!

Mom has been working in the yard a lot this week in between the raindrops, and we have been helping.

Flowers are blossoming!




The new flower bed mom made:


In between the work, we found some time to play.

Abby ready to try her herding move on Aiden:


Taking a rest after some chasing and hide-n-seek:


Wait, what, what is this???

Little massacre occurred in the yard. Who did it?? Few toys didn't see a very good week this week!

Maybe we can get some new ones this weekend?? Huh, huh, huh???

Loving Life!

Hey everyone! We have been busy just loving life. Still working on our obedience, but finding time to just chill in the back yard.

Abby working on her walking.


Aiden happy after a nice encounter with some other dogs and humans.


Chillin' at the park. Think this day we were watching a horse.




We even saw some ducklings!! They let us get pretty close to check them out.

Our buddies the tree swallows let us get pretty close to them too!


Some down time chillin' in the back yard;


We are loving the early summer!

Alpha Dog Obedience

Sorry we haven't blogged in a while. Mom was under the weather (more like the weather got under her).

We had a training sessions last weekend with Max from Alpha Dog Obedience Training.

Alpha Dog Obedience Training

He came to help us with our walking on a leash (without pulling) and our barking problems (barking at everything!).
The session went very well. Max taught moms how to walk us and communicate what is expected of us. By the end of the session we were sitting out by the road and not barking at the cars. Our walks in the park have gone well also. No more barking at cars and bicycles, nor do we pull. We will keep on working on our lessons!!


We have also been really bonding with Lilly cat. Everyone seems to be living harmoniously finally! Lilly has come back out of her shell and been mingling with the puppies.






Maybe take some videos this weekend of our progress!!

Another Sunday in the Park

We had another lovely weekend visiting the park.

Saw some new birdlife:


grey catbird (at least that is what we think from our birds in PA book)


killdeer (there is a nest of babies in the park)


our old pal the tree swallow in it's nesting birdhouse


our duckie friends, they let us get pretty close to them before they flew off

For Reilly, we found a pee-mail place!



Problem was - mom tried to get a good picture, but there was a soccer game going on and our focus was a bit hard to capture.

Green Feet Friday

All that rain made the grass grow like mad. Finally stopped raining to do some yard work. By yard work, we mean barking at mom and "herding" the lawn mower. Now we are soooooooooo tired......

Someone build us an ark!

It has been raining, raining, and more raining for days now! Seems like months. We are soon going to wash away. We have been squeaking in a walk or two between the rain drops. Play outside until we get soaked. Mom keeps wrestling us with the towel. We are going stir crazy though......
