A small handful of recent pics
Now that I have FTP access again rather than just crappy flickr, let’s try to get caught up! I have quite a bit to get caught up on (a bunch of pro pics from Louisville) but so far I’m just using a web client and haven’t got the actual FTP client to cooperate with me yet, so here’s just a small handful to get us started…
First: I ran a half marathon April 28th. On April 29th, I was stupidly entered in the local agility trial. LOLOLOL I woke up going “WTF WAS I THINKING?” and hobbling around my kitchen throwing down a handful of Ibuprofen. The weather is notorious for being crappy at our local trial, and this year was no exception. It started pouring just in time for our first run and didn’t let up until long after we had gone home.
Auggie was not very excited to be stuck in the car while it rained outside. I was not excited when I went inside the building to go pee and realized my legs were both completely blue and purple. I went home right after our second run and got straight into a hot bath. Yikes!
And of course because I am an over ambitious idiot, I also entered in a trial the following weekend, too. (and also would have stupidly done one this weekend were it not for Mother’s Day!) Got in the car Friday night to leave and discovered my A/C wasn’t working – I only ever use it when I have dogs in the car to keep cool. NOT happy, and my dad had no freon to put in it. Auggie is now crated in a VariKennel, which I call his clamshell, since he ate his way out of one of the soft crates down at Louisville, and I was really worried about him being stuck in a hot plastic clamshell. I got our crate fans out and put one on his door, and unzipped the top of Payton’s soft crate a bit so he would get more air flow, and wedged the second crate fan best I could against the “door” to his soft crate.
I forgot to zip the top of Payton’s crate closed when I left the dogs in the hotel to go grab dinner and was quite surprised when I opened my hotel room door and TA-DAAAA! PAYTON!
He had stuck his nose into the small opening and wedged, wedged, wedged his head through until he opened it enough to squeeze his whole body out. =P
Next, things you never want to see in your rear view mirror:
PAYTON.
I did not learn from the hotel incident. Payton, however, did. It was over 90 degrees when I was heading home so I again opened the top of the crate to give Payton more air flow. About thirty miles away from the trial site, I suddenly see PAYTON’S STUPID HEAD in my rear view mirror.
I drove like this for 18 miles until I got to the next exit and pulled off. Though on the actual highway he had his head up towards the crack in the window like “Ahhhh fresh air!” I ended up just taking him out of the crate and letting him loose in the backseat, which I hated, but was terrified he would overheat or would end up like THIS again, which certainly isn’t safe either.
And then some random miscellaneous shots…
Family shot. At least they’re both not looking at me…?
There we go!
PAYTONGATOR
The holee roller is his fave. Unfortunately we’ve tugged on it so much it’s ready to rip. =< I'm trying to be gentle with it but I don't think it's going to last the summer.
and finally,
my big ol’ baby dog.
Easter Egg Hunt 2012
Rockstar Auggie who LOVES this game… I have video… I just have to edit it.
Eggy eggy eggy eggy
Payton found one!
…but he doesn’t really know what to do with it and neither does Georgie.
“I think you eats it.”
Auggie stole it and was going to open it, but apparently after being in Payton’s mouth it tasted bad because he spat it out and started pawing at it LOL.
Payton thinks that was his anyway and he wants it back…
“MAH EGGY”
He lay down and started chomping it a bit and I thought he might pop it open and get the cookie…
But then this happened. *sigh*
Meanwhile Auggie was running around finding and opening all the other eggs.
Payton DID finally open his yellow egg and was surprised there was a cookie inside. Then Georgie found another yellow egg but didn’t know what to do with it, and Payton stole it, then opened it by accident and was again surprised to find a cookie.
By the time he found this one he seemed like maybe he was figuring it out… but this was the last egg!
Auggie had found all the other eggs because he is a rock star at the egg hunt.
Payton with his three eggs!
“I lick my eggy.”
“What? There’s no food in them anymore? Rip off.”
And poor Georgie with her empty basket LOL.
All three! Payton knocked over his basket by laying down when I didn’t want him to, but it was kinda cute, so I allowed it. =P
Baby Georgie with the GIANT EGG
Auggie monster with the giant egg (effing blown whites!!)
Payton with the giant egg.
Okay, Payton is NOT a “head tilt?” kind of dog… I didn’t even notice this happened until I was editing photos later and was like “FFFFFFFFF WHY IS HE SO ADORABLE OMG.”
Because it’s funny.
Garden pics
First:
I hope this makes you smile because it makes me smile…
Auggie, jus’ chillin’.
I so could have named him “Happy” if I wanted to… but I didn’t want to… not so soon.
Der de der!
So then I let them in the garden… but only one at a time, because there are toxic plants in there, and in order to watch and make sure nobody ate something, it had to be one at a time.
Started with Augs.
He did this on his own because he is a photowhore.
This looks very fall-like… I think this is a fire bush or something like that? I don’t know.
My boy. <3
Ahhhh cutie <3
I like when he looks like he’s laughing.
the bestest boy.
Then it was Payton’s turn…
“Look at this Payton! Oh look! Look! Payton look at this!” Finally he did look at it.
“But just look Payton.”
“Payton… just look…”
“LOOK WITH YOUR EYES PAYTON.”
“Oh. I sowee.”
Not nearly as cute as Auggie in the end. =P He will learn to pose with time I guess.
Watering the Payton
OMG WATER
*gargle*
Georgie: What are you doing?
Payton: GETTING THE THING
Payton: AHHHH
Georgie: you’re stupid.
that’s Georgie’s tail in the background. She really can’t figure out WTF Payton is doing.
Meerkat impression!
IT MAKES ME DO THE PEEPEE DANCE
Gonna get iiiiiit
I GOT IT
It makes me so haaaappy!
Just right in the face. Over and over.
He sometimes seems to mind and other times doesn’t care at all LOL.
I really don’t know LOL.
Streeeeetch!
She tried watering higher so he couldn’t get it and he kept trying to get it anyway, including putting his muddy paws on her legs like “HEY LADY, GIMME THE WATER!”
At this point he realized he was SOAKING WET and tried to roll around in the grass to dry off. Of course this is the same grass we are watering so he was basically just rolling around in mud. Fantastic.
Georgie trying to figure out if this is a game she wants to play…
is this… is this a game?
No, no… it’s… well maybe. But no, you don’t want to play, Georgie.
Georgie: Seriously. What’s wrong with you?
Payton: Oh, LOTS of things!!
I really do like the way this dog moves, as an aside.
Aaaaand right back at it when she started watering low enough for him to mouth water again.
RAWR!
And some killer dance moves.
I had to go get him a towel when all was said and done. Then I finished toweling him off and my mom wasn’t done watering so BACK AGAIN HE GOES… sigh…
Family photos and a few more
A few I took with my cellphone down in Louisville, sorry for the crappy quality but I didn’t buy my cellphone for the camera… it rained pretty much every single night down there (MUD EVERYWHERE. PAYTON UP TO HIS KNEES IN MUD PUDDLES EVERY DAY, LOOKING JOYOUS. SO GLAD FOR WASH AND WEAR COATS.) so camper lighting, not the best:
Payton, Auggie, and Grandma/Great Grandma! You can see Payton’s right leg is filthy dirty… =P
Payton, Auggie’s Dad Raleigh, and Auggie. Ral is the one Payton heavily resembles. I can’t remember if I posted about this here but I saw a picture of him at a show when he was eight months old, and it was about when Payton was eight months old, and we were all like “D= D= D=” looking back and forth at the picture of Ral and at Payton… Payton looks more like Ral than Auggie does and Auggie’s his kid, LOL.
Then we came back home and I took a really long shower in which I kept thinking I HAVE NEVER FELT SO CLEAN and then washed the boys.
The baby Georgie! I took a few photos of her sister this weekend but they’re not very good LOL. And I don’t think you guys would appreciate the photo of her trying to attack my phone the way I do… hopefully we can get the sisters together again soon and I can take a good photo of her.
Paytonmobile. Pay and Georgie’s sister, neither of whom were down in Louisville to actually do conformation, were attracting a LOT of attention. Which cracks me up considering how much time Payton spent diving into mud puddles like “=D =D =D THIS IS THE BESTEST”
My Auggiedoggie. <3 I was chasing the babies around the yard and looked over and here he was, laying down on the retaining wall. My little sun worshiper.
Boys lately, Payton wearing hats
Whatever caption you can come up with for this picture, I’m just going to say “that’s what she said” afterward, so…
Aaaaauuuuuggieeeeee…
Auggie says “see I was under the impression that when we get in bed we are supposed to go to sleep… not this nonsense…”
Payton says “sup.”
“This is really too big for my head.”
MIKE WAZOWSKI
What Auggie was doing while I was putting hats on Payton’s head. Lately when I get the camera out he tries to make himself scarce. He used to be a photowhore, but lately, since I’m trying to do more than just taking yet another picture of my dogs hanging out in the backyard/my bedroom, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with it LOL.
IIIIIIIII’M PAYTON!!
Throw ball plz.
Chuck-it Times!
WARM outside today but crazy windy! Time to play fetch in the backyard.
Auggie has ball!
He must not like the plastic balls as much because he carries them funny LOL. The regular tennis ball he just chomps into his mouth, but these he carries like halfway out of his mouth…
YAAAAY SO MANY TENNIS BALLS SO HAPPY
See?? Normal ball, haha. Weird dog…
I don’t know LOL.
OMG OMG HERE IT COMES…
and by “it” I mean “Payton.”
Better catch!
Umm I don’t know what’s happening to my dog in this photo LOL. Momentum + wind = amorphous blobbie Auggie.
oh and here’s a cute picture of Payton! ahhhh cute puppy <3
aaaaand here’s another weird picture of Auggie trying to catch the ball LOL.
If you’re wondering why I don’t have any of that of Payton, it’s because Payton waits until the ball is rolling along the ground, then runs after it to pick it up off the ground. Auggie actually launches himself when I flick the Chuck-it and tries to beat the ball to the ground…
So all I have is Payton going “yaaaay I got it!” and bringing it back to me.
Chuck-it. Doing it wrong.
Still doing it wrong. He literally was running top speed to me, saw this leaf blow into his path, and immediately dropped the ball and launched himself on the leaf.
And ripped the leaf to pieces.
He’s going to be VERY sad once I get a place with no big ol’ trees in my backyard to drop leaves everywhere…
Payton playing in the snow (SNOWSUIT PICS)
Snow is a fine delicacy. It has been quite rare this year. Like when there was a pumpkin shortage except it’s snow instead of pumpkin.
I started throwing snowballs at him – that caught his attention.
Oh I see what you have there. I want it plz.
aaaaand this is where we start with some blurry photos LOL.
WANTS.
Umm, a little bit of “wrong breed” going on there, buddy, but that’s nice.
OMG this face hahahahaha
I threw one behind him to try and get him to back up so I could try to get better photos. Instead he just turned around and was like “!!” because the big white ball disappeared into the carpet of white and he was so confused.
I so wish this were a) completely in the frame and b) in focus, haha!
THROW SNOWBALL
Uh, you got a little something on your… you know what, never mind.
I’m so glad I bought this snowsuit. I don’t care. It’s hilarious.
Gahahahahaha
I will be good if you throw it…
Yessssssss
The best I got haha! We’ll work on it. XD
Auggie was also outside playing in the snow but he was just kind of like “WTF?” when I threw snowballs at him. He would turn and eat the one I just threw off the ground, then if I threw another he’d turn and eat that one off the ground… his nose was too busy being glued to the ground.
Just a few out in the yard
Auuuuuggie doggie. Still not quite back with all his belly coat after his bladder surgery. =< It will probably be next year sometime when it will look back to normal.
Playing some with a very low jump and the football. No formal jump training yet though I probably should get started with some jump bumps and stuff.
I think this was the day I accidentally threw the football into the neighbour’s yard and Payton almost died. He was like “MYYYYY FOOOOTBAAAAAALL” with his face up against the fence, and he wouldn’t have forgotten about it either. So I had to go creepin’ in the neighbour’s yard to get his football back since PetSmart doesn’t even make these anymore.
And when I let him out again later he was totally like “OMG FOOTBALL YOU CAME BACK!”
the things I do…
Goofy dog. He has now decided he is big enough to jump up on my bed before we go to bed, and this morning jumped OFF my bed because Auggie and I left him to go get breakfast and he was like “hay!” – but he still won’t go down the stairs to the basement.
Spring in January
GORGEOUS weather today… I almost didn’t go back to work after lunch. I wanted to go for a nice run outside and then stay in the backyard with the boys allllll afternoon.
Handsome Payton. Without any dirt hanging from him. Yay!!
Playing with the basketball! PetSmart doesn’t have these anymore =< It's a shame because this one is really heading towards the end of it's life.
My very handsome Auggiemeister.
I named my puppy after a football great. Errr…
….uhhh…
These are from yesterday – my mom opened this two liter and it started fizzing everywhere and Payton WTF????d at it. So my solution was to give him the bottle when it was empty. And he didn’t stop playing with it. Finally he flattened part of it and ripped a hole in the plastic so I took it away before he ate the darn thing.
butt in the air. he does this SO much. it’s ridiculous.
Payton being a dork, Auggie being Auggie
Perhaps it should be Payton being Payton too.
Auggiemonstah.
Why does my baby dog look kind of like a smug jerk..?
More Auggie!
Auggie says “you has a stick. I wants it plz.”a
I threw the stick and Auggie changed his mind. So Payton took it instead.
Weird dog…
der de der!!
oh you have the stick?
wooooo woo woo wooooo woo!
Ohhhh Auggie…
I need to thin out his dreadlocks, just haven’t gotten around to it. I did everything else last weekend but left all the ear hair…
I love how every time I try to get a nice, handsome photo of Payton, he has sticks and dirt all over him. That’s my puppy.
Payton coming home pics
Last weekend Auggie’s breeder’s husband was playing with her phone looking at all the photos and videos, and he came across a photo of a puppy and went “Who’s that?!” and I was like “AHHHH THAT’S PAYTON!” At the time, she sent me one of these but not all of them… so I sent the rest to my phone LOL.
So here’s photos of Baby Payton right after we picked him up.
“Hello new baby.”
Waiting in traffic – you could see the people in the car next to us so I erased them. X3 Not quite as sweet as the first “real” photo of Auggie and I hahaha. I think I’m kind of in shock at myself still. Like “Did I really just go buy a puppy?!”
He was actually a squirmy wormy and did NOT want to sit still on the ride home. He was climbing all over me as soon as we were actually driving. This was him faking it. “Ohhhh I’m a sweet, cuddly boy! Yes indeed!”
Almost home and he finally fell asleep… sweet little baby boy! Faker LOL.
Some pics from today, plus a Baby Pepper
This could have been a great photo… but overexposed. >=< I have so many problems with forgetting to adjust my camera for bright sunlight and ending up with overexposed photos… ughhh…
Eat da snow!
I don’t know how he got snow on his eyebrow LOL.
Auggie says “I also eat da snow!” Auggie is kinda skinny right now… I’m not sure if I like it or not. I cut back just a bit on his food since it’s his agility off season and all his muscle was getting soft, but I dunno… and yes I realize you guys probably can’t tell from this photo LOL.
Inside… for some reason he likes to play like this. I finally managed to get a good photo of it, haha. He’ll have a toy and then start rolling around on his back making wookie noises and flailing his legs around.
And in fact yesterday morning this is how he tried to wake me up. By putting his head on my BUTT and then rolling back and forth on his back making wookie noises and flailing his legs around. w.t.f. payton.
Then he grabs at the toy and makes more wookie noises and rolls around… because he’s so weird…
Also, yesterday I drove to Indy to watch Auggie’s breeder run Auggie’s granny (and Payton’s great-granny) one last time in agility… today is granny’s first official day of retirement. Anyway, before I went over there she had me run by her house and pick up her scrapbook that she forgot and bring it to the trial with me. We all spent some time looking at granny when she was really young, her AOM picture at Westminster, all that awesome stuff. And in the binder I found a photo of granny and Auggie’s dad at his first show when he was like six months. And HOLY COW Payton still looks an awful lot like Auggie’s dad now that I have puppy awkward photos to compare! It’s crazy. I meant to take a picture of that photo with my cellphone so I could show it, but I forgot.
But in the back of the binder were a few other miscellaneous pictures, and one of them was of two puppies, and I picked it up and said “Who are these?”
She pointed to one of the puppies and went “That’s baby Pepper.”
BABY PEPPER?!
So when I came home I looked around online until I found the photo, because I only have one other picture of her as a baby and it’s not a very good one.
Pepper is the one on the right. She’s so cute. D= D=
Georgie’s mom is the one on the left. Doesn’t Georgie look JUST like her mom?
Snow + Flashlight
So it was dark by the time I got home… but Payton didn’t want to let that stop him, so I tried not to let it stop me either. I got a flashlight and the camera.
It didn’t work out that well but I got a FEW pictures that might convey Payton’s newest love… possibly even more exciting than leaves…
Snowfaec.
He plunged his face into the snow, came up for air, then plunged back down again, hahaha.
It’s NOMMY
And then he got the zoomies. For like five minutes. He just kept running laps and Auggie and I stood there just waiting for him to stop completely freaking out.
The wind picked up and started blowing, and in the light from the flashlight he could see the flakes… and decided to try to catch falling snowflakes. OMG so cute.
Ugh these will make cute pictures if I actually have light while it’s snowing hahaha.
This is our first REAL snow as opposed to a small dusting… I hope it sticks around for a few days so I can try for better photos in the daylight!
New toys in the yard
Yesterday Auggie and I went to PetSmart to try and find some new tugs that he would like to play with. We picked this one out and TA-DA! Tugging!! So exciting!
I let him tug with Payton briefly but mostly this will be reserved for tugging with me.
Payton says “I like this new toy! I want it.”
But I bought you your OWN new toy, Payton.
Look, it has two balls. Just like you.
No need to build tug drive on this thing.
I mean seriously.
Susan Garrett says tugging is not a duration behaviour.
…I think Payton disagrees… OMG puppy for real.
I have no idea WHAT they were looking at. I was holding the toy over the camera and they were both like “la la la, can’t see the toy…”
(And yes, Auggie looks tiny. He almost always does next to other shelties, unless they are also smaller shelties.)
My little puppy…
He has a big. D=
I hardly even remember this!!
He is still rather squishy and I can totally snuggle him into my arms though, LOL. I always pick him up and say “I shall call him Squishy, and he shall be mine! And he shall be my Squishy.”
Seriously though, he’s turning out SO well, and I’m so happy with him. I mean the excited nose-touches all over the place and the jumping up on me to try and nose-touch my hands while I’m cooking dinner aren’t fun but we’re working on it.
Payback
So I think most of you know that Payton’s favourite toy in the world is a leaf. Last night he came running up to me in the yard carrying a stick with a few leaves still on it, all excited he had found one last stick to play with. We were getting ready to go to bed so I put it up on the picnic table on the deck to keep safe until we could play with it properly.
We went out to play today and Auggie decided it was time to enact a little bit of payback.
Auggie: You like this? Here let me have it.
Payton: HAY! That’s MINE!
Auggie: I want it. Give it to me.
Payton: Noooooooooo
Auggie: I am taking it now.
Payton: WAH!!
I was secretly cheering Auggie on. Seriously, he doesn’t even really LIKE sticks… he didn’t really want it except for the fact that Payton had it therefore he decided to steal it. This is the first time he has ever done this, LOL. Usually he’s the one getting puppies (or Pepper) running up to him going “WHAT’S THAT?” and he drops it so they can have it. Good for you Auggie, LOL.
“Hay Mom it’s kinda windy out here!”
My very handsome little boy. With dirt sticking out of his muzzle. Sigh.
A Very Sheltie Christmas
Yes okay I am AWARE that Christmas was almost a week ago OKAY I KNOW
Georgie gets to open her presents first!
Ooooh what’s in the box?
I eats this?
I eats the cardboard tag instead.
This was my present to Georgie. I bought her that Cuz toy (because she defuzzed one of Auggie’s balls so I got her that to try and defuzz), her very own firehose, an orange monkey, and something else I can’t remember right now.
Auggie is next… NOM. He got a bottle wrapper from Clean Run!
Next, Paytonmobile.
Hmm, how to rip this?
He DID start ripping it but then he stopped to try and eat the paper he’d just ripped off. So I had to help him. He got a sheepie ball also from Clean Run.
Georgie opening (one of) her present(s) from my mom… her own sheepie ball so she doesn’t have to steal mine, LOL.
The boys got a bag full of toys from me – this is Flappy, except I think his name is really Jolly (it says so on the back of him) but Flappy sounds better and he makes hilarious flapping sounds when you shake him from all those flappy legs flipping about. Payton LOVES Flappy.
Georgie stocking!
She got some Kong squeaker balls of her own, and…
this Kong squeaker bone thingie. That Auggie would like plz.
Auggie vacated so he could see what’s in his own stocking.
Gingie bread man squeaky ball!
Obligatory head in stocking shot.
Payton sucked at de-toy-ifing his stocking, LOL, so here’s a photo of what was in his stocking.
And what was in Auggie’s stocking! Yes that is a different sheepie ball than the two sheepie balls I already own AND the new sheepie ball… yes we have lots of sheepie balls in this house… Also he got a full bag of those orange Kong squeakers, but he was playing with the rest while I took this photo.
Babies playing in the wrapping paper!
And the loot for the boys. Except for the reindeer bottle wrapper, I bought a bunch of good tugging toys so they could play together.
Payton then proceeded to run around throwing all the toys in everybody’s faces, and Georgie ended up in her crate because she kept trying to steal Auggie’s new tennis balls instead of playing with her OWN new tennis balls and he was getting mad at her. And Auggie sat there like a grumpy tennis ball miser. MY TENNIS BALLS… MINE… PREEEECIOOOOOUS…
And then Christmas was over, and we all had a major sad!
24 Photos for the 24th
For the record, I made Payton cross his paws like that. He lay down with his legs like *SPRAWL* and I was like “You look stupid. Here.”
I was actually surprised he left them after I crossed them LOL.
And his stay is so good! He is the rock star stay-er in his puppy class.
Auggie, of course, is always a rock star. I was thinking I would like to take another class with him just because he would be so good it would make me feel like hot $@)# LOL.
My boys. <3
Just Georgie-Porgie!
She has had runny poo the last few days. We finally got her pooping solid again so she got a bath this morning to wash all the icky off her butt.
My mom was like “She looks stupid from the front with her puppy hair going everywhere! Did you STYLE her like that?!”
Yes Mom that is exactly what I did. I made your puppy look like she stuck her tongue in the electrical socket. On purpose. That is what I did.
Mom: “She looks like a HUSKY or something.”
Me: “No, she looks like a SHELTIE PUPPY. That’s what they LOOK LIKE.” Poor Georgie. I think she’s adorable, LOL.
Just Uncle Auggie with baby Georgie… aww!
Payton kept trying to ruin these photos by wandering in front of the camera. STUPID PAYTON
I love this one LOL… Auggie’s face…
Auggie has recently decided he doesn’t completely hate her after all. I’m sooo glad!
I tried to get him to wrap his leg over her but he was like “NO.” Okay, okay. I guess I shouldn’t push it.
Soooo if you make funny sounds Georgie tilts her head…
so that’s what I was doing… because it’s soooo freaking cute.
and over and over and over hahaha. I was making sounds like Pepper makes hahaha. I always say she sounds like Blue from Blue’s Clues. Bow-bo-bo-bow!
All three dogs! Aaaand Auggie looks pissed LMAO. Thanks Aug…
Little less pissed. (And yes I was still making Pepper-noises at Georgie.)
Probably the best shot of all three. Stupid Auggie and his stupid angry face hahaha.
The babies messing up the shot…
This is why Auggie always looks pissed. “JUST SIT STILL AND TAKE THE STUPID PHOTO YOU GUYS. GOSH!! IDIOTS.” (/Napoleon Dynamite)
Aaaand Payton started crawling away because he found something on the floor so one more of just Uncle Aug and the baby.
Merry Christmas everybody. =>
Secret Santa has arrived!
A box is here!! OMG!
So many beautiful little packages in there!
Auggie says nom nom nom my gift…
It’s a skull charm for his collar! Auggie says “oh I loves it. I kiss it.”
Payton got an awesome new toy!! I have told Georgie to keep her tiny puppy teeth off it because I love it and want to keep it safe, haha.
And Auggie got TENNIS BALLS!!
The boys were actually so enthralled with their toys they didn’t even notice there was more in the box… and that it was treats… Georgie, meanwhile, was like “Ummmm can I has?”
I couldn’t get the boys back to get a picture taken with the treats so I just took a picture on the floor, LOL.
The charms! Payton got a little bone with a blue blingy on it! And Auggie’s awesome skull and crossbones!
Payton with his dinosaur!
“Payton, that is your first ever Christmas present,” I said. “That’s exciting!”
“…well, for me, anyway.”
Some Christmas photos…
First, we asked Georgie to down. Auggie proceeded to do this. “ohhhh my goooood these puppies are killing meeeee.”
Bros! Poor Auggie has a busted lip right now. =< Not sure if he got it playing bitey face or if he bit himself at some point.
All three little doggies. Georgie apparently thought the boys had cooties today – she did NOT want to get anywhere closer to Payton.
Happy Aug!
Then we busted out the costumes LOL. “Payton won’t move now because he has something on his head,” I said. If only the same trick worked with Georgie…
Payton didn’t like the reindeer antlers so we switched him and Georgie.
Brudders <3
I think this might be the one I send to everybody! (And look! Auggie’s big ol’ chunk out of his leg hair has mostly grown back!)
Santa Auggie!
The end! I might get the big ornaments out again this year but I have to find the time to do it… not sure when that might be unless it’s literally Christmas Eve…
Auggie’s new Fetching Tag is here…
and I love it, LOL.
Auggie says, “I’m not only the founder of the No Testicles? No Problem! club – I’m also a member!” Oh you sure are Augs.
I can’t stop laughing.
I went with a tennis ball on the back this time. <3 For some reason the skull seemed weird with this tagline LOL.
Dogs in a box
It all started with a sale on treats at Petco.com. And a rather large order of treats from Petco.com.
Then I had a huge empty cardboard box. Well, you can’t have an empty box in my house for long.
It’s a good thing Pepper’s not here because I don’t think FOUR would have fit. Well, maybe if I got Pepper and Payton to sit.
“HALP” says Payton. Auggie tries to figure out if he can jump out before I notice.
Georgie: Oh no you don’t! If I have to be in the box SO DO YOU!
Auggie: NO!
Auggie: *starts to scream*
Auggie: *more horrified screaming*
Payton: haaaahahaha.
Auggie: I HATE YOU
Georgie: So stay there.
Boys: Fine. HI CAMERA LADY
Georgie: Now I gotta figure out how to get out of here.
Payton: Haha now she’s trying to get out and we’re all stuck in here!
Boys: LOLOLOLOL
Georgie: Curses! Why am I so little?!
Payton: Okay I’m bored with this now can we do something fun please?
Georgie: Maybe if I jump up and down I can tip the whole box over?
Auggie: I hate my life.
Shortly after Georgie managed to scramble halfway out and I told the boys to jump out and that was the end of that.
I take it as a good sign that Payton was pretty much like “Meh, this is normal, right?” He’s totally gotten used to living here…
