Checking In

Hey!! Sorry, we haven't been around in a while. Time just flies by! Been doing our usual - playing, going to the park, chasing birds and chipmunks in the yard, getting loving. We did check out the new cafe that opened close to our park. They have FREE dog biscuits!!


Is that a biscuit???




We have been feeding the new ducklings at the lake too.

Mom has been playing hide-n-seek egg in the yard with us.



Did I get it??


Lilly cat has been hanging in the back yard with us. Abby is trying to tell Lilly that catnip is wack, maybe she should give it up. Take up biscuits instead.

Anyway, looking forward to the fun summer ahead. Mom was talking about another road trip to the beach in the fall, but we will see!!

Dog Days of Spring

Last weekend we took some much needed r and r with moms at the beach. It's hard keeping up our daily activities every day - taking a walk in the park, playing in the yard, chasing birds, chewing on bones, napping. We definitely needed a spring getaway. Especially since this was the last weekend dogs were allowed on the beach and boardwalk, until fall. We needed to ride some waves and just hang 10.









We enjoyed checking out the boardwalk.




There was a kite festival at the beach. We did bark a "little" at the kites.



Abby went to get a lick of an ice cream cone, but decided to take a big bite. The evidence on her lips.

We also went to a few state parks in Delaware to do some hiking.

Part of the trail had us having to go across a board to go over a little stream. Abby ran across like a little daredevil. Aiden went across reluctantly, but in the end we all made it over!




The snowy egret we saw at a wild life refuge.


Osprey nest. We saw the osprey, but mom didn't get a picture of it.


It was nice after long days at the beach, boardwalk, and parks to have a nice hotel to crash in. We enjoyed our stay. Sadly this will be our last time staying at this hotel (a Hilton). They are changing their pet policy to no longer accept pets. It is quite a shame because there were also a lot of other dogs staying at the hotel along with us. Guess we will have to hunt for another nice place to stay. We had a great time though!!

Also, Today is Lilly cat's birthday!!! Happy Birthday LILLY!!

Easter eggstravaganza

Last weekend we attended the Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by our friends The Furry Friends Network. The proceeds benefited other anipals. We had a barking good time!!! So much going on! Other dogs to meet & greet, eggs with goodies to find, and the Easter Bunny to bark at. We were very successful at finding the eggs with the biscuits in them. There were other eggs that had pieces of paper with numbers on them. We then could pick other goodies for these pieces of paper. Sooooo many goodies! Unfortunately mom had to bug us with these bunny ear things. We humored her and tried to get some goodies out of our basket. Aiden somehow found his way to help himself to some other dogs goodies in their basket sitting on the ground. All is fair in egg hunting I guess!








So many dogs to say hi to!










Where is that biscuit egg??




We even made another sheltie friend!!! We were so excited seeing another sheltie in the park. His name was Winston!

We then took a walk in our park after the egg hunt. Saw some cool stuff!


There were all these bull frogs making noises in a pond area.


Duck friends hanging out. We even saw the Merganser again! There was a lot of other birds and the blue heron even flew over. So much activity in the park - human and animal!

We had a really great day, and got lots of goodies. Hope our Furry Friends Network got lots of money to help out more animals.

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

Soggy Sunday

Well, all the snow is melted, but we have buckets of rain to deal with now. We tried to go to the park today, and got soaked again. Plus, our trail is now covered in water.





It was pretty cool at the park today though, we saw a new bird we never saw before!!

This is a hooded merganser! (mom had to look it up in her bird book).

But at least spring has sprung. Mom found that some of her flowers were blooming.


We have been playing out in the yard, rolling in the dirt. So much fun! Mom said we were a little too dirty, so we had to get a bath today. We were pretty much wet most of the day!





At least we are ready and clean now for the Easter Egg Hunt being held at our park next weekend.
It is going to be so much fun and it benefits our buddies at Furry Friends Network, who help out so many anipals.

Still Winter

Another week of winter and snow. Tried again this weekend to hit our park. Some roads have been opened into the park, but we still aren't able to do our normal trail. There were huge piles of snow for us to tackle, so at least we had something to have fun with.






We tried to help mom through the snow, but she held us down.


We were shocked this week too that Lilly ventured outside. Think she has a bit of spring fever.

Cabin Fever

We have had several big snows the past few weeks. We love the snow! Unfortunately, too much snow might not be such a good thing. Mom had to make us trails in our yard with the big snow blowing machine, cause we couldn't make it through the snow. Also, we haven't been able to go to our park every day like we normally do. It is full of snow, and we can't get through it!

We went to check out the situation in the park this weekend.



We can't get through!!


Mom I am stuck!


Wow, our park has big piles of this snow stuff!

Since we couldn't really do much at the park, we decided to go shopping instead.

Got to meet some new dogs.





Our friends from The Furry Friends Network were at the store. We had to go put some money in their jar.


Hey Aiden, look there is food under here!


Can we have a biscuit!


Doggy valentines at the register!!

So, we got out a little bit this weekend. Cabin fever was getting the best of us. Hopefully some of that white stuff melts so we can get back to our park. In the meantime at least we can play in our back yard.
