More eBay loot

We love Nylabones in this house because they last longer than anything else. So I found a seller on eBay who has a variety of Nylabones and bought 8 different ones. Here's hoping they last for a bit!

In here we have a plain ring, plain wishbone, plain galileo, bacon bone, chocolate bone, chicken bone, liver bone and dental dino :) Let the chewing begin!

A typical night at our house

I have read about how a lot of you bought/got FlipCams lately and it reminded me: I HAVE ONE! So I decided to pull it out and give you a peak into what its like here at night (well for a couple minutes at least since we don't let them get out of hand!).



As to the Wordless Wednesday pic, I wiped Mesa down with a washcloth after a play session and put the cloth on her head. She proceeded to walk around the house like that for 15 minutes until it fell off.

We also got an email from our house sitter up in Nor Cal asking for pics of the girls since she missed them :) Makes my heart smile to know they have such a nice impact on people

Dog People vs. Cat People

Very interesting.... http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/01/13/cat.dog.personality/index.html

Wordless Wednesday (and this time it is Wednesday and is Wordless)

I get by with a little help from my friends

So we have a dear friend who lives near us and watches our dogs while we are out. You may have noticed her commenting on the blog :) Well today she came over to get the dogs some exercise and Mesa being the sweet dog she is decided to roll in the mud which meant the girls needed a bath. Normally I point to the tub and say "In" and the dogs hop right in with mopey faces. Today they decided to take advantage of our friend and cover her in mud as well in an effort to get them into the tub. Now the kids are all nice and clean and can nap for the rest of the day which we greatly appreciate.

I am going to need to have a discussion with Mesa when I get home about her behavior today though!

Poor Baily

Our lazy dog is actually really bored and wants to get out of the house to play. I can't with my foot and the DH hasn't been out of bed (much) all weekend. We try to entertain them inside but they miss their super long walks. This is the face Baily keeps giving us. Anyone want to come play with her?

Watching TV Mesa Style

This is what Mesa looked like after a long day of watching TV:

Her reactions to Animal Planet today made us remember one of our favorite Mesa stories. When we first got the big TV, I was watching Animal Cops and there were a bunch of kittens on the TV. Mesa was captivated and when a cat walked off the screen Mesa went to the side of the TV, expecting the cat to come out and play with her. She looked around for a couple minutes before she gave up and went back to watching the show :) That's our special girl.

Remote Hog

So I am laid up with the foot and now the DH has a terrible cold so we decided to spend the afternoon on the sofa with the pups and we see this:

Apparently Queen Mesa decided that she would dictate what we were allowed to watch by sleeping with the remote. Animal Planet it is with a little Food Network thrown in :)

The foot

Went to a specialist today wearing my nice little foot boot from the ER and come out with this:

there is a wet cast underneath. If I am lucky I will get to walk on my own in two months. If they decide I don't need surgery when I go back next week that is. Not a happy camper. Not at all. Do they make Kongs for humans to keep us entertained while locked up?

Oh how I love eBay

So a friend of mine told me she started buying poop bags on eBay. I decided to go on and take a look and I found the best deal! Over 800 bags for 18.50. I thought about it, thinking the bags might be cheap but after looking at reviews I though, what do I have to loose? I ordered (no S&H so 18.50 was my grand total) and when they got here the DH proclaimed them the best bags yet. Apparently they are deep enough to fit his entire hand but just as wide as normal bags. They are slightly scented but nothing that offends my nose.

We will be ordering these again for sure as in the store, 120 bags cost 8 bucks! They also have larger quantities for those with dogs that go more often or with more dogs (they sell up to 3000 at a time!). They were sent to me the day after I ordered them and arrived a couple days there after. The person selling them has the name "originalpetbags" and I would highly recommend them if you find yourself spending more than you want on poop bags. Oh and they do sell them in different colors!

Who would have thought that poop bags could be this exciting :)

Almost Wordless Tuesday (not Wednesday because I love this pic too much to wait!)

She works hard for the money

New collars round two :)

So when I was searching for new collars for the girls I came across two web sites that do cute, big collars. I posted about the first one earlier. Now time for the collars that arrived today. These are from Collar Mania. Collar Mania has a  huge selection of fabric or ribbon for your collars. They do also make smaller collars for my little friends :)
Here is Mesa. She has a two inch thick collar and is enjoying destroying the last of her Planet Dog bone that lasted almost 1.5 years!

Here is Baily (moping per normal) in her 1.5 inch collar.

 

Collar Mania has reasonable prices and the collar seem to be quite durable!

Our Little Gremlin

Sorry Baily... I just had to post this. We have been trying forever to capture the snaggletooth and tonight we saw this while the family relaxed on the sofa!
