No matter what he tells you 🙂 That thing was HUGE! Heart attack time, I kid you not. I love your doggy posts. I laugh so hard with each of them. You SO creative. Can’t turn your back on those furry babies for a second where food is involved! My parents adopted a smaller (~24 lb) dog a few years ago. Not too long ago, the dinner table was left unattended for a couple of minutes and when my mom came back out to the dining room, the little scamp had jumped up on a chair that hadn’t been pushed back in, gotten up on the table and dragged a whole bone-in half ham (which was almost half his weight) off the table and onto the family room floor. Needless to say, he was in the dog house big time.

Our lives are richer for their antics and love.

Thanks so much, Arianne! They are definitely getting their exercise… but for what it’s worth, if I wrote about how well they slept, well, that wouldn’t be much of a post, would it? ;}

So I know you didn’t ask and I don’t really want to be THAT PERSON but… I used to work as the dog trainer for our local chapter of the Humane Society. A lot of what you’re experiencing with those two adorable furballs is energy overload. Even though there are two of them and I’m sure they play with each other and with your kiddos it sounds like they’re not totally tuckered out at the end of the day. Dogs that size and age need, at a minimum, a good 1 mile jog each day. If no one in the family is a jogger then I’d say a good 1-2 mile walk twice a day (morning and evening) or a long session at an off leash dog park should do it. This should help immensely! Even if you guys are walking regularly, take it up a notch. They’re obviously not tired enough – as I always say… a tired dog is a well behaved dog! Keep posting about them. They are PRECIOUS.

BAHAHA that’s the worst! Yeah, we’re with you on that one- can’t trust these gals a bit. They always go in the crate when we go somewhere. It takes a while before they’re trustworthy! ;}

Right!? I can’t even. Trauma. ;} And they were circling our feet in the kitchen today when we prepared lunch. They’re like little sharks waiting for their opportunity ;}

I know! I almost had one of those click-to-see photos where it’s blurry until your mouse goes over it just in case I traumatized someone! He was so scary! The cups are Tervis – we use them every day at every meal – and keep them in our freezer so that they come out cold. We are in love. They even hold hot coffee, and you can get little tops that fit on top for those on-the-go moments. SO SO practical for our family. We’re big fans. http://www.tervis.com

Thanks Ruth! It does take a lot of patience… but if ya can’t laugh… ;} And yay for husbands!

I really should not have been so entertained by two silly dogs 🙂 I love seeing their crazy antics, it doesn’t make me feel so bad that our chewed up half the sofa while we were at work.. “wut mom, its explouded!” (enter the crate).

These guys are hilarious. 🙂 Can I just say that spider is sooo disgusting. OMG. Also, cracking up at the “SOON” Picture. That’s how our dogs are…just biding their time… 😛
