Wrestling

The fact that Gus is 3 times bigger then Indy has never once stopped her. If she thinks he needs to go down, she will do her damnedest to take him down!
Gus usually cooperates and flops right over and then the bitey face happens.
There is usually lots of snarling and barking with the occasional squeak.

Enjoying those bully sticks


One of Indy and Gus's favorite treats are the bully sticks.
It can keep them occupied for hours on end while we are at ball or outside having a bbq.
It is an outdoor treat even though Gus keeps trying to sneak his inside.

Thursday 13

1) Indy loves to lay in the sun, she can do it for hours.

2) Indy will also eat buttercups.

3) Gus is part cow and eats anything growing in the lawn.

4) The dog that just moved in behind us doesn't bark, I can hear him racing through the their bushes and it reminds me of Predator.

5) The Great Dane beside us doesn't shut up. Ever.

6) Gus isn't good with the heat, he doesn't stop moving at all.

7) Neither pug will drink water on command no matter how hot they are. Pug noses get turned up.

8) When we go for our morning walk/jog Gus pulls me and Indy drags behind.

9) My dogs are 'those cute little dogs I see in the window all the time!'

10) Indy rarely poses for pictures anymore, she is not interested.

11) Gus is surprisingly good with little kids.

12) I really need to weedwack my backyard!

13) This is a lot harder then I thought!

Mmmm

I made the Poochie Pops that Rachel posted for Foodie Friday a few weeks ago. Except I didn't add the peanut butter and I forgot the honey.
I used strawberries and blueberries and they love it! I decided it would be an outdoor treat!

Actually I don't mind them either, tastes like berry yogurt and they were very easy to make, I cut the recipe in half but it still made an ice cube tray and half.

Floor Lounging

One consistency our house has is the floor. Rain or shine it is cool.
Except for the sun patches, they get hot.

This one likes the carpet better.

Poor Roxi

Last time Roxi came over we noticed she was limping. The roommate took her to the vet and found out that her nail was really badly cracked.
So poor Roxi had impromptu surgery to remove the nail before it broke off exposing the nerve.
She came home really groggy from the anesthesia and Gus was really worried about her.
So we let them in to see Roxi and they were very gentle with her so we let them stay and cuddle her.

Penticton Day 1

Finally the Penticton Post! I love summer but it is hard since I am almost never home anymore.. mostly going off to softball. We stayed in this beautiful room in a dumpy looking hotel right on the lake (sorry my camera battery died before I could get the scenic pictures). Part of the furniture in the living room was this ottoman that doubled as a storage unit. Gus played along quite nicely.
A lot people brought their dogs to the tournament, one of them was this blue nose puppy. She was so sweet and Indy wouldn't stop barking at her!
So we brought her over to say hi... do you see her hackles??? Indy wouldn't have anything to do with the blue nose, it was very funny.
Poor little puppy only wanted to play!
In the dug out... Indy is far too much of a princess to lay down on the dirt so one of the nice girls we roomed with laid out her jacket for them.

The end of the day.. they were just done. The morning would start of nice and cool and then around 1pm it would get incredibly hot. It was hard for Gus and Indy because we couldn't really take them back to the hotel and dump them off so they had to stay with us. But we had lots of water and ice cubes for them to munch on. And of course they were completely spoiled by every person who saw 'those cute little pugs! Look at the tiny one!' Gus and Indy got a ton of love that weekend!

Wordless Wednesday - Mine!

Pay It Forward

Back in March I signed up to be part of Punchy's Pay it Forward and I got it two weeks ago (oops!) so here it is!
She sent me this amazing mulberry candle that smells so good that I am not sure I want to burn it.
She found this adorable glass butterfly that I am going to hang in my scrapping room.
Punchy made this adorable pug plaque that looks kind of sad and hungry.. he looks like Gus!
And she made these really cute doggy pot holders which I would love to use but my stove isn't turning on while it is +25 here in the lower mainland. 
So here are the details for playing along...

"The exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in their turn, pass the kindness along and 'pay it forward' in their own way. This is how it works...I am going to send something to the first 3 blog owners who wants to take part. In turn you will then post about this on your blog, link to me, then send something to the first three people who sign up to play along through your blog. There are no cost restraints, BUT don't go crazy! The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found.No biggie, just a gift that will make the person smile. Maybe something unique from where you live? And, remember that kindness does not have to involve money; there are untold ways to help others every single day, everywhere you go - just look around."

If you want to play.. leave a comment.. the first 3 are in!
