Easter 2017

Real talk guys – I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do an Easter egg hunt this year. Auggie was so boss at it, and I knew I would be remembering him the whole time.
But it was also Rizzo’s first Easter, and it didn’t seem fair not to let him play the game… so I sucked it up and got everything ready.


Waiting outside the gate while I hid eggs.


Inside the gate, and I’m armed with three baskets, one for each dog. Payton thinks he’s ready… pretty sure he remembers this game… here we go.


Yes. Yes this is the game.


Rizzo, meanwhile, is like “Wait what we do?”


Kane found one!
But has no clue what to do with it, so he runs off.


Rizzo also found one!


And picks it up…


And figures out how to open it!


Payton, meanwhile, is channeling Auggie for once in his life.


Bing bang boom findin’ all the eggs


Kane is basically just running around behind Payton trying to figure out what everybody is so excited about.


FINDS IT


GOTS IT


Kane is staring really hard at this one, realizing there’s got to be something… SOMETHING… involving these things… but what?!
I felt bad for him so I opened it for him to get the cookie, and put it in his basket.


Payton rockin’ it.


Rizzo, meanwhile, is also pretty good at this…


…but he also would like to carry around and chomp on the empty eggs once he has the cookie out. Noooo no no, let’s not do that.


And Payton likes to lie down while he opens his egg and enjoy his treat. It’s a good thing the other two are kinda slow or he would miss out on a bunch of eggs.


Kane can’t figure out how to open them. He just keeps pushing the egg around with his nose until I come over and open it for him.


Rizzo doesn’t have that problem.


I PUTS IN MOUTH? But he never got this one open either.


Egg hunt done! Payton is the clear winner, but Rizzo did an amazing job for his very first time playing the game! Kane got several in his basket, but not enough for them to peek out the top. Maybe next year kiddo.


Each dog also got special Easter baskets with a bag of treats AND some bunny ears.
Two dogs think this is funny and one does not.


But first, lemme take a selfie


Payton has taken way better selfies than this before. I guess he just wasn’t feeling it that day.


Big smile from Rizzo!


And Kaner who is doing a shoulder stall also, winning the selfie game for the day.
