The Dog Park

Ok, so it's not actually a dog park, but it's close enough!  The elementary school in our neighborhood has a huge, open (but gated) area where all the local dogs hang out.  Harry and Tru loooove to go out there and meet new friends every week!  It's usually a big dogs' club, but our little guys fit right in!  Harrison turns into the little guy we know and love but most people don't get to see (a true dog's dog).  And Truman, as usual, plays for a few minutes until he's off exploring a new scent and being the independent guy he's always been (he prefers people)!  Here they are on Friday enjoying the beautiful 75 degree weather!

They loved this pretty girl!

This is the only time he actually enjoys getting some exercise!

He's so tired from running around like a maniac!

Wee little ones...

So a friend of mine from work is thinking about getting a pup!  Oh how I want her to have one!!!!  I just suggested to her a wonderful organization in Austin called Wee Rescue that rescues "wee" dogs who need forever homes!  You'll just melt when you see the available dogs on the site.  Even if you can't adopt a dog, there are other ways to help.  I'm currently/constantly bothering Peter to let us become a foster home, but he keeps shutting me down!  How rude!  How could anyone think 2 is enough?!?

Check out Wee Rescue to see how you can help!!!  In the meantime, here are a few of the available wees:

Ella

Darby

Abbie

Are 2 really better than 1?

2 - the number of ornaments Truman has claimed from my mom's Christmas tree


2 - the number of times Truman has invaded my mom's closet and destroyed the Christmas presents


2 - the number of chocolates Truman ate out of my stocking (and has yet to regurgitate...)


2 - the number of lock-ups in the crate for said bad behavior

2 - the number of horns sprouting on Truman's head

0 - the predicited number of times Truman will be invited back to Grandmommy's house for Christmas  


*My little angelito Harry is showing his loyalty....every time Truman has gone to lockdown, Harry sits right next to the crate until he gets to come out!  So, let me add to the list:

2 - the number of wings sprouting on Harrison's back

Merry Christmas to all!!!  

 

He knows if you've been bad or good...

And Truman is trying so very hard to be good!!!

 But it's kinda hard when there are stockings full of goodies hanging right at nose level!!! ;)

Hmmm, how can I get in there?!?

Darn it!  Why does Mommy always catch me?

Merry Christmas, everyone!  Hope your stockings are full of lots of goodies too! =)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Taking pictures of 2 dogs at the same time is next to impossible.  I feel for you, Sandra, owner of 3!

Luckily, Harry freezes as soon as you put clothes on him---he absolutely hates it!  So I guess he's a good model. ;)

Truman, on the other hand, only works for treats.  And since he's been on his diet, he's starving.  He can't do any of his usual tricks for treats (sit, shake, lie down, high five, roll over)!  All he could do was lunge!!!

If only Tyra had directed this shoot so the boys could practice their smizing and modeling H to T! ;)

Maybe for next year's card! =)

Sick Day

So I'm at home today, not feeling 100%.  But one thing I am loving is being with my pups.  Yes, Harry's ringing the bell to go out about every 10 minutes.  And yes, Truman has once again made our new throw his new bed.  But they're just so darn cute, that I don't mind!  Here they are soaking up the nice, warm sun in our wonderful chilly weather!

Truman loves to sunbathe...do you think they make puppy ray bans?

Harrison is always hearing something outside...ready to pounce!

Look how pretty by the flowers!  This was just before he ran off to bark at something.

Ahh, the dog's life!

Tru & Har hope you're enjoying the wintry weather too! =)

A Special Treat

Did you know Einstein Brothers sells bagels for pups? If you are a dog owner, you HAVE to try them!  Our friends, Lorraine and Calum (from Scotland), joined us for dinner Sunday evening.  They were so kind to bring wine, dessert, AND these special treats for the pups!  We had a lovely time, and the pups want to say thank you for their delicious (brilliant) bagels!

Harry ate his too fast to get a picture...and we chased Truman around for about 10 minutes trying to get a shot of him enjoying it---he thought it was too good to be true!

I found him in the computer room looking like he was smoking a cigar...then he brought it to his bed to devour before Daddy took it! ;)

Step away from my bagel!

Mmm mmm good! =)

Thanks, Lorraine and Calum, for providing these pups the highlight of their day!
