Monday moans

Daisy

After that great Mother's Day we planned.....guess what she did.  Monday morning she got out all the instruments of torture grooming tools and groomed us!  She said it's because we're going to the Million Paws Walk next week and it takes a week for all her mistakes to grow back.

Anyway, NO WAY am I going to COOPERATE and look at the flashy box!!!!

Happy Mother's Day

 Hope everyone had a good Mother's Day.  We planned a great day for HER.

Firstly, we woke HER up really early, about 5 a.m. so SHE could enjoy a long day.

Then we took HER on gentle walk before bringing HER home to have breakfast.

We supervised while SHE made the breakfast and stood right under her feet so we could clean up quickly if necessary.

Then we sat next to HER on the couch in case SHE dropped something.  Bella cleaned up all the crumbs on her blouse.

 Next we took HER on a walk by the river.  Lots of dogs thought of that.  We saw many new dogs and some old friends.

Afterwards, we made sure SHE got a cappuccino at the drive-thru.

We stayed with HER all morning and didn't even complain when SHE went out for awhile without us.

When SHE came home, we snuggled on the couch while SHE watched a movie.  By the end, we all needed another walk.  So off we went again.

Finally, we sort of cooperated so she could take this picture of us. (It's picture number 9.)

Oh, and we gave her a new little heater for the computer room so SHE can stay warm when SHE's typing for us; and new gloves for our early morning walks.

Hope you gave your moms a very special day!

We've been very busy.......

 We have a mouse!  At least SHE's hoping it's just the one.  We've seen it a few times and we've been THIS close to catching it.  Mostly we sit and stare at the stove....or fridge....or tv.....

 Kendra hasn't noticed the mouse.

ALSO,

We've been chasing Magpies out of OUR garden.

They're VERY sneaky birds.....

probably related to cats.

(Night two with the pup tents went well, though, someone (Daisy) woke everyone else up at 2 a.m., so we went outside for awhile.)

Also, I Daisy, still sleep wherever I choose.....which is usually on my favourite two towels on the bedroom floor.

Have a Happy Mother's Day....those who celebrate this Sunday.

A package

 A large, funny-looking package arrived at our house yesterday. 

Bella

 We were very curious and helped open it.

Kendra tries to figure out what it could be

 There were two flat, blue things.

Bella

We pulled this out of the blue bags. 

Kendra and Bella

We watched as it was put together. 

 It was a tent.....

 Or a condo.....or something.

We tried them out.

There were two of them.  At bedtime, Kendra was put in one and Bella in the other.  (Kendra has been having accidents at night and occasionally Bella 'forgets'.)

SHE thought that  crating might be the answer.

But SHE didn't zip the doors up all the way.

Kendra cried to get out.  Bella just went to sleep quietly--we thought.

In the morning both crates were empty!

And there was a poo on the floor.

Tonight the zippers will be closed ALL THE WAY!

Wordless Wednesday--Kendra

Investigating

 What's that?!!

Kendra sees it first

Bella has a look

A caterpillar!

It's important to investigate every little thing.

Monday Musings

 INNER PEACE

If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without alcohol,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

Then you are probably..................
