Movie Stars

The dogs wanted me to share with you their uncanny ability to reenact movies and TV shows. Just to name a few:

"Donkey" from Shrek

"Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits!" -Elmer Fudd

Cue the Law and Order music.

"Thug Life!" -Pineapple Express

Teehehehehe, just kidding! Shadow needs to work on staying in character.

The Brady Bunch

"Rut Ro Shaggy!" -Scooby Doo

"Heyyy man..." -Cheech and Chong

"Did I do thaaatttt?" -Steve Urkle, Family Matters

Oh crap, I did do that. No need to put me in jail blog lady!

If any of your dogs need lessons I'm sure one of these fine actors will help for a small fee... ;)

Puppy Rescue Mission

Here's the scoop. A couple weeks ago a puppy wandered up to my boyfriend's coworker's house (which is right next door to where they work) and gave the coworker these puppy eyes:



So of course they took him in. Unfortunately, they couldn't keep poor Knuckles. So my boyfriend tells me this situation and says we need to find a home for this little guy or he's gonna end up in the pound! YIKES! Meanwhile, the puppy continued to stay with the coworker while I scrambled. He got to play with this little gold thing:



and this little hairy thing:



and ponder where he would end up (or maybe when dinner was ;) )

And we couldn't find anyone to take him. Until yesterday! A woman I once took Psychology classes with just so happened to be considering getting a bully breed dog. She asked lots of questions about Knuckles, which I was happy she did- many people jump into getting a dog before knowing anything about it. So my boyfriend and I told her everything we knew about little Knuckles, and it sounded like a good fit. Besides, this woman has another little hairy dog to play with too! Here's his new family:

Godspeed Knuckles, and thanks to his new family for saving a life!

Spa for Spuds

Like many white dogs out there, Spuds had some allergy spots on him, so Chad and I decided to give him a nice oatmeal bath. Let me first say Spuds definately had some mixed emotions about bath time...

He's used to taking showers with humans, not baths!

Oohhhh what's on my back?!

(Note: The water wasn't actually dirty, it's just reflecting off a few well water marks on the bottom of the tub.)

This isn't happening...this isn't happening!

Awww, back scrubbies feel gooood.

My, what big spots you have! We couldn't believe how spotted his skin was. He never used to have so many, now he is COVERED in them. It's pretty cute.

Please let me out of here blog lady.

Finally, gosh. Whats so good bouts a oatmeel bath ne ways?

He was a little cold. I guess I didn't dry him off enough...

Uhhh, hello humans? I thinks I'm dry now. Didn't you say I gets sumthin else too?

What? I didn't enjoy it. Not at all...not even the back scrubbies. I'm, too sexy for my collar...

too sexy for my collllllarr...

So sexy yea yea.



I think this whole spa day thing got to his head a little.

PS-All credit goes to Chad for the bath time pics :)

Wow...

...What a busy week! Sorry I've been MIA for a while. I have so many pictures to sort through I don't even know where to start. So I'm taking the easy way and using the pics I took on my cell phone first:

I went to the shelter to see how many Pitbulls would be there. Only two this time but still sad. They put locks on the Pitbulls cages or I would've tried to smuggle them out ;) ....

This was the tag on one of them. Her picture is below. I cannot say why she was marked as aggressive. Maybe there was a legitimate reason, but she was very sweet to me.



This is her. You can't really tell in this picture but she was really small! Smaller than Shadow.



Here was the other one. He just sat like this and barely got excited for the bone I gave him.
:( Sigh...I don't know why I torture myself by going in there. It's kind of like a car accident- you don't want to look but you just have to know.

But don't worry, I'm not ending on a sad note!!

Maggie and I (excuse the bedhead appearance) caught up on some DogTown episodes. If you haven't seen the show before, I suggest you do.

And I took my niece and nephew to the Columbus zoo...but I forgot my camera. Who does that!? In the midst of having an anxiety attack about losing the kids in the crowd I did manage to snap this picture:

PENGUINS! I was a little worried about the portly one laying on his/her belly...

In other news, I painted a picture for my parents' anniversary which I won't be posting on here. Didn't come out the way I wanted.

Also, Shadow is getting spayed on August 21st. Yay!

And Spuds got a day at the spa...or an oatmeal bath, flea medicine, and new collar :) -More pics to come soon!
