drip...drip...drip

What's a dog gotta do to get a good nap around here? Our girl decided it was time to break fix something else around the house.
Hmmmm.... it looks like there is a leak under here.

Yep! I think I found the source.
It was coming from this silver snake. Good thing I killed it and pulled it out.
What do you mean it is still leaking? That should have fixed it.
Hey Tony, can you help us fix this? If you help us, I'll tell you secrets about the stupid things our girl tries to do when breaking fixing things.

While you're here, can you also look at the dishwasher. It's not working right either.
Nope, that's not it. Let me show you what's broken.

I think our girl just needs to buy a new dishwasher.
We'll take our pay in steaks, thank you very much.

Raking leaves and seeds

I think our girl has her seasons mixed up. She said it was time to get out the rake to clean up all the leaves and seeds that fell during the spring. What? I thought you were supposed to rake leaves in the fall.
She must have known what she was talking about, because look at this pile. It looks like a big pile of dirt, but is really full of millions of tiny leaves from our mesquite tree.

Here you can see all the seed pods from the mesquite tree. These are really hard and hurt if you step on them. We are quite happy she raked these up.
We know these piles of leaves and seeds look small compared to the big piles of maple and oak leaves some of our friends see in the fall, but they are HEAVY! Each pile weighs about 60 pounds!
Let's get these piles cleaned up and out of the yard.
Oh oh. It ooks like there are lots more seeds in the tree waiting to fall down. Don't tell me we will have to do this again in a few days! There better be a yummy treat in it for us!

Taste the Rainbow

The other night, the girl was nice enough to share some of her dinner with us. She made little pizzas out of tortillas and shared a little bit of the chicken and cheese with us. Yummy!
Today she went to the farmer's market and brought home these fruits and veggies. Doesn't everything look tasty? We're not quite sure about the curly striped Armenian cucumbers though. They just look weird. They are sometimes called snake melons, and you can see why!

I wonder if she will notice if I steal this yellow squash.

She did. But I was quick enough to grab this eggplant. Do you think I should taste it?

Hmmmm.... the green part isn't very tasty.
I think this grape tomato will taste better.
And a big chomp......
and squirt. Yummmmmm.....
BLU doesn't know what she's missing by refusing to eat vegetables.

Snooping

I'm bored with kibble. Is there anything tasty in here?

Time me

Now that our girl mailed out some of our extra "guilt" toys, we got to play with more of them. Today we got these cool tossing toys with ropes. Watch what I did with mine. Time = 5 seconds after getting it. Lay down and get it in the optimal chewing position.

Time = 7 seconds. Give it a good strong tug.
That made a nice little hole.
Time = 10 seconds. Get a better grab on the hole.
Time = 15 seconds. Destruction!

Time = 20 seconds. Go for the final kill.
And then the girl was a meany and took it away from me.
Meanwhile, Comet politely nibbled away at his toy.

BLU's BooBoo

Look at what BLU did.When our girl forgot to turn on the air conditioning, BLU thought she would be cooler if she got rid of her fur. Now look at the mess she has.
I think I need to do some doctoring on her. Here are my supplies.

I think I did a pretty good job!

Now, all we have to do is remind our girl to turn on the a/c, so BLU doesn't have to go bald.

Three hamburgers and two hot dogs!

What's Memorial Day holiday without striking up the grill and making some hamburgers and hot dogs?
Look what our girl made for dinner.
{insert shameless plug for our girl's cooking blog here}
Three yummy hamburgers.
But do you think she shared any with us?
NOOOOOOO! She ate all three of them herself.

In addition to the hamburgers, there were also two hot dogs in our house today. No, not the kind you eat. US! Comet and BLU.

Ten minutes ago, she looked at me and asked "Why are you panting so hard?"

Ummm.... maybe because it is freaking hot outside?!?


Or just maybe it is because our stupid girl FORGOT to turn on her air conditioner today. I mean, normally she's cheap anyway and keeps it set at 82F, but she actually FORGOT to turn it on today. How can someone forget such a thing?

First it was forgetting our food, and now it's forgetting our a/c. Friends, we need your help. We think our girl is broken. Can one of your humans come fix her for us?

And the winners are.....

We're ready to pick names for the drawing to give away some of the guilt toys our girl bought. She was hoping to feel less guilty by running this contest, but she found out that your people buy you guilt toys and treats for things she does to us all the time (and doesn't give us guilt treats!!) Now she feels even more guilty! BWAA HA HA! Maybe she learned a lesson.
Time to grab the first name.
And the winner is.......

I want a turn to pick a name.
And the winner is....
White Dog, Siku Marie!!
One last chance for a lucky friend......

Congratulations JOEY!! (although we think you already won by getting cheese after your parents went to Europe).

We'll be contacting you soon to make sure we have the right mailing address. Hope you enjoy the toys.

Delicious guilt toys

Here are two of the toys our girl bought us because she was guilty of starving us to near death. Don't they look tasty?
I'm going to start with the blue hot dog.

Mmmmm.....good.
Ick! Gotta get the lettuce off this burger.
Or maybe I should bite off the bun first.
Ummm.... we did say we were going to switch, didn't we?
Sure. I'll destroy this hot dog.


I think I like real hot dogs better.
Me too! But this was still fun.

starving to death

This morning when we woke up, we were starving for breakfast.
But our food bin was empty.

Maybe we can eat Greenies for breakfast.
Nope! The Greenies box was empty too. Does that mean we will get biscuits for breakfast?

What do you mean that's empty too!! What kind of house is this that has no food??
Oh sure! Add insult to injury. There's no food for us, but look what the girl ate this morning! How fair is that?
Luckily, once the stores opened up, she went shopping. She got a big bag of food.
I better make sure it's the right kind.
Yep! It tastes right.
Oh good! It looks like she bought us some treats, too.

Yum! Biscuits!

And then she felt so guilty about making us nearly starve to death that she bought this whole giant bag of toys. We haven't got to play with them yet, but she said she would give us a toy later today (pictures tomorrow).

Now, she kind of feels guilty for spoiling us with so many "guilt toys" that we are going to hold a contest and give some away.

So, if you post a comment about the best "guilt toy" you got from your people, and what they were guilty of doing to you, we will put your name in a drawing and send some of these toys to three of you. Get your comments in by next Thursday (May 21) to enter the drawing.

Chew toy

Look at my new chew toy!
Can you tell what it is?

Is it a rug?
Is it a blanket?
Nope! It's Comet!!
BOL!!!!

What I did

The mean girl put most of the fun stuff out of reach, so this is what I did to be mischievous. Follow me.
I see something interesting. Can you see it?

How about now? Can you see it now that I am closer?


Not yet? Can you see what's hiding behind this plant? It smells very interesting.

It's a baby bird! I wanted to taste it, but the girl told me to leave it alone.
And then the momma bird started yelling and barking at me. She even flew at me trying to bite me.
I wasn't about to put up with that! I barked right back at her!

And then I jumped up and tried to get her.
And then mean BLU complained that all the noise was giving her a headache and came outside and scared me (I think the bird too!)

Up to no good

Hi friends,
I had a boring weekend and am feeling a bit mischievous today. What should I get into while the girl is at work today?
