It only took a few minutes!


I was only gone for a few minutes and Maggie found the coin purse that I keep on hand. When I walked into the house she bolted for the back and I wondered why.....since we usually get licked and whacked to pieces by her tail! Izzy was no where to be found as she knew "Mom" was not going to be a happy camper!
I followed Maggie and quickly heard a "Ping" a few quarters hit the floor, dropping from her mouth.
As I am lecturing her on the pitfalls of eating money I was also making a quick tour of the house to see where she would have found these coins......well, I came across the sofa and there it was! My coin purse torn up and coins everywhere! I looked at her and she at me then she quickly made an exit.
So what did I do? Brought in her kennel! So she is back to being kenneled when we are out. Less trouble for her to get into and less messes for us to clean up!

Terrible Somethings!

Sooooo today Pat and I went to do laundry and we left the pups alone in the house, they have been very good lately esp Maggie! We were only gone for a few hours....surely I could trust that they would be ok. I actually quick scanned the house before we left!
When we got home and walked into the house, I was greeted by a houseful of eaten up recyclable stuff. It was everywhere!!!!! Maggie hid right away.....after a lil stern talking to, I cleaned up the mess.
She sure has been in a chewy stage lately! More than likely pent up energy!

Izzy has gotten into the habit of running into the dark weedy area of our yard when I call her to come in, obviously she would rather stay outside and scare away the ferocious squirrels....but to make a mad dash after I call her?!!!!! she does eventually come in, when she knows I have reached the end of my rope!

I feel like I am living with a dog in her teens and one in the terrible two stage! But I love them and they do make my days interesting and challenging.
I am sure I amuse them......why else would they do what they do?

New Chapter

Well the two legged kids are in England now, poor pups have been put on the back burner lately with all the chaos of moving a family across the "pond"!
We really need to get back into their routine of visiting the doggie park and going on walks in the neighborhood.
It has been so hot lately that they really do enjoy just laying in front of the fan throughout the day.
But just like us, they need to exercise daily!
