Christmas Wishes

we wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year!  hope your  food bowl was filled with wonderful food and you had good friends by your side!  

On the Naughty List

since his stocking is sure to be filled with coal,  checkers begrudgingly poses for a christmas photo in order to get reinstated on the nice list.  nice try checkers.  we'll have to see what santa says.

Rawr!

the t-chex, long thought extinct, is just really camera shy.  kinda like sasquatch.

Lord of the Highlanders

 

there can only be one! one ring to rule the pups!  or only one ring that the pups want to play with, even though someone was nice enough to get one for each of them. 

Belated Birthday

i know this is a little late, but happy birthday to tucker and checkers!!  their actual birthday was on sunday, the 14th.   they got a birthday call from daddy and some rawhide treats.  on monday, they got to go to the vet.  i know, i'm such a good mommy :)

Mystery

so i come home to find poor tucker with a broken paw.  obviously, they were doing something they weren't supposed to, so no one's talking about how it happened.  too bad i can't take the cost of the vet bill out of their allowance!

Full Moon Madness

 

over the weekend, i was able to capture on film the transformation of tucker the dog into tucker the wolf.  i know it's hard to see, but it's there.  

Silent Scream

 

tucker really likes to bite checkers on the neck.  i think tucker has been reading too many vampire books.

Menage a Dog

 

tucker and tia sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g.  not one to be left out, checkers gives 

himself a kiss.

Ding Dong

 

trick or treat, smell our feet, give us something good to eat.*

*we'd prefer a treat, our feet smell like cheddar, and we're not picky eaters. 

28 Minutes Later

after being exposed to a steven segal movie, the dogs turned on each other.

Matt Damon

tell me this dog doesn't look like Matt Damon. go on tell me. i dare you. what's wrong? cat got your tongue? scared? of me? aww, thanks!

zedd

sorry izzy. i don't have a picture with you :(

What Time Is It?

why, it's beer thirty!    tucker and checkers like to grab a shiner blonde to chase away their troubles. 

Wild Kingdom

apparently the storm brought out the wild life in our yard.  all the animals had fun hunting-however, i did not enjoy clean up detail.  luckily, only the dead baby mouse made it in the house. i was amazed that elliot could growl and keep her "treasure" in her mouth at the same time.  i was not surprised though when i threw up a little in my mouth.

Dinosaur Bones

we got these enormous dinosaur (rawhide) bones today for the dogs and so we begin bone watch!  who will finish their bone first?  will they even finish?  tucker is the only one to start on his bone.  checkers seems unsure of what to do with something that huge.  maybe his smells like a t-rex!

Party Animals

Happy birthday Pip!!  You're a big girl now! 

Difficult Choices

checkers finds himself trapped between a pip and a fat cat.  will he be smart enough to realize that he could exit to his right?  probably not.

Roll Call

checkers-here

pip-here

tucker-here

zedd-here

dogs all present and accounted for.  carry on!

BKS

 there's a new gang in town--the BKS-burr king shepherds!  they like to hide weapons in their tails to better assualt you with.  so far no major skirmishes with the foxy terriers, although they have tried to take over elliot's turf in the kitchen.
