Random puppy pictures

A better day

After having such a sad day yesterday, I consoled myself by buying some new patio furniture, since my patio is barren.  I also took some pictures of my babies.  As usual, Sitka wasn't having it, and Poquito was making funny faces, but Juneau--well, he's my photogenic child:

 

His hair is slowly growing back where he had surgery on top of his head.

Somebody got his stitches out today

Juneau had surgery on top of his head while I was in Seattle in order to remove some little growths that he kept scratching and making bleed.  He got his stitches out today and is a happy boy!  His hair is slowly growing back, but you can still see the "reverse Mohawk" on top of his head.

Saturday evening treats

Guess who got Saturday evening treats?  Everybody!  Even Poquito, who is hiding under the coffee table in order to protect his little bone.  Ignore my knees and my shoes, please!

An Attentive Audience

It's no secret that I don't cook at home a lot...or ever.  Being married for nearly a decade to the pickiest eater on the planet sort of soured me on the thought of having to cook every night, and so I've gotten out of the habit.

 

Lately, however, I've tired of restaurant food.  So, for the second time in a week, I've cooked at home.  And not only did I cook, I grilled!  Hamburgers were the order of the day.

 

Yes, I cooked enough to share with the dogs! 

They were a very attentive audience while waiting for me to share.  Sitka was there too, of course, but refused to hold still for a photo.

Sibling Rivalry

After Juneau and Sitka had a little spat this afternoon--during which Sitka was nominally the top dog--Juneau decided to get a little revenge on her:

 

She was peacefully lying in front of the fan, and Juneau came along and shoved himself in between her and the fan!

 

Just like having two year olds.

Sleepy Saturday

On this long holiday weekend, it's too hot to go outside, so everyone's napping inside!  Someone doesn't realize that since it's 105F outside, no blanket is necessary.

Camp Run-Amok

After chasing my darling "daughter" yet again this morning...and after saving a possum from Juneau's hungry jaws the other night, I've decided that my house should be named Camp Run-Amok!

 

This is how we roll...

On a really hot Texas summer day, what do snow dogs do?

 

 

We nap in front of the fan! 

 

Poquito does too!

Juneau's "Gotcha Day"

Close on the heels of Sitka's "Gotcha Day" comes Juneau's. 

 

After eating his treat--and sharing with his sister and little brother--this is what he spent the rest of the day doing! 

 

Ah, the life of a dog!

I'm so proud!  Of course, I'm lucky to have a very photogenic model!

Let sleeping dogs lie...

Almost every pup was sound asleep this afternoon.  One in particular was even sleeping balanced on my arm.

Sitka, Juneau, and Poquito

Aren't my babies pretty?  I just love them; they make the best photographic subjects! 

Juneau and the Wubba Wubba

The weather has been nice, but chilly, the last few days here in Dallas.  It's my week off, so the dogs and I have been spending a little time outside. 

 

During one of our trips outside, Juneau dragged out his wubba wubba so that he could play with it.  He's such a goober--every time he chews on the toy, it squeaks.  And when it squeaks, he cries! 

 

Dogs are so entertaining! 

Pretty puppies

Adventure time!

Today's adventure features the inimitable Sitka and Juneau, as well as my hapless friend, Joann Clifton. 

 

The day started out normally.  My fellow Relay for Life (check out our team page here) team members came over to make items to raise funds that will go to the American Cancer Society.  I was showing some of the ladies one of my mom's quilts when the doorbell rang.  Joann went to let the new arrival in.

 

Unfortunately, she didn't realize what consumate escape artists huskies are.  I learned a long time ago to always have two doors in between Sitka, Juneau, and freedom.  As she went to open the front door, Sitka simply opened the inner doors somehow and barrelled past Joann right out the front door.

 

I flew to my car and started driving around looking for them.  Of course, in the two minutes it took for me to back my car out of the driveway, the dogs had vanished.  I did a quick search of the surrounding streets...not one sign of either of them.

 

Over the next hour, we recruited my two neighbors, the mailman, two of my team members, and a random lady from a neighborhood I was driving through, to look for my two goobers! 

 

Sitka, strangely enough, was the first to be apprehended.  Usually, between Juneau and Sitka, she's the hardest to catch.  Juneau usually tires out first and then just comes once I open my car door.  For once, when I saw her and got out of the car, she came right to me.  Juneau, however, was nowhere to be found.  I looked and looked and looked, and I didn't see him anywhere.

 

Thank goodness for the random lady!  She found my wayward child on the other side of Shiloh Road, where some nice construction workers were giving him some water since he was tired from his "travels."  How he and Sitka kept from getting hit while crossing both Miller Road and Shiloh Road, I'll never know.  God was truly watching out for them. 

 

 

My sweet, innocent babies are now exhausted from their adventure.  They crawled on the sofa, and haven't moved since!  I, on the other hand, feel like I've aged about a hundred years.  Having children is stressful!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to the three best valentines ever:

Angel from heaven

Is that not the sweetest little face you've ever seen?  The very picture of innocence!
