Sheltie Egg Hunt 2015


Getting ready to hunt… Auggie is like I AM 100% FOCUSED LET’S DO THIS THING


Georgie found the easy one I set right by the deck.


Auggie ran straight past it to grab one in the yard.


And then off into the rest of the yard for another.


Georgie is very methodical, snagging the second one right near her first.


Meanwhile Payton grabbed one and started proinking around with it, then dropped it.


OH NOES EGGY


I GOT IT AGAIN


THEN DROPPED IT AGAIN


Auggie meanwhile is all bing-bang-boom findin’ all the eggs


Payton again dropped his first egg and found another.


Georgie is busy trying to snag as many as she can.


Payton lost the yellow egg to Georgie, did a lap, and came back to his pink egg… while Pepper in the front…


…is maybe finally figuring this game out.


Chomp…


Choooomp?


SHE GOT IT!


Then she found another!


LOOK GUYS SHE CAN DO IT.


I MEAN SHE TOTALLY UNDERSTANDS THE GAME. AT LAST. OMG.


She is having a hell of a time actually getting them open though.


Then she found this one, which I was really impressed with because she had to jump up in the wagon to get it.


Georgie came running over to try and steal it. Georgie was VERY good at stealing eggs from the other dogs…


My mom had to help out. “No, this is PEPPER’S egg.”


She kept workin’ on it…


and got it!


Payton accidentally broke one of his egg-balls and discovered the cookie inside so he’s making an attempt here.


LOOK he figured it out.


Okay so I tried to line everybody up for a group photo, and Payton… well… Payton. So here’s the group photo.


Miss Pepper who got THREE eggs this year!! THREE!!


So very proud of herself.


Auggie is all “I’m old and exhausted, this is tough work.”


Auggie got nine eggs this year. He would have had more if I counted every one he grabbed, but his old man teeth were having a bit of trouble chomping them open, and if he couldn’t get it open he just dropped it and buzzed on to the next.


Payton with his THREE! I think this is exactly how many he got last time too…


Georgie is the WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER this year with TEN eggs. She only really won because a) previously mentioned no-counts for Auggie and b) she kept stealing eggs from everybody else.


I cheat, I still win, who cares, haha.


Happy winning baby dog.
