My Dogs

From poodle to jack russell

The warm weather is coming and the dogs are furry and matted. Grooming is a must before summer gets here. Last week I groomed my first victim and now he looks totally different. Oliver was first in line and its a dramatic change for him.

 

Fluffy Oliver not sure whats coming.

The first day of grooming went pretty well. I shaved down his whole body and got most of his legs done. I decided to not start on his because I was tired and I know he gets feisty when i groom his head.

 

Let me tell you, he is not an easy dog to groom. Especially, the face. He is a wiggle worm and doesnt stop trying to jump off the grooming table. Also, he hates the dog shaver near his face. As you can see I was able to get one side of his face done but not the other.

 

He has half a schnauzer looking muzzle.

 

He still is cute.

 

An Oliver shake.

 

A few days later I decided to tackle the rest of his face. Instead of using the dog shaver I decided to use scissors. He cooperated better but still wiggled a lot.

 

With no hair left he buried under my bed covers to keep warm.

 

Vampire Oliver wants some bwood.

 

Even though he looks totally different he still is cute!

Let it snow dogs!

We did not get any snow before Christmas but we sure got a lot after. We got three snow storms in about two weeks time. Lots of shoveling and careful driving but also full of fun. The dogs had a blast in it. Well, Lady is not a big fan of snow but Oliver seems to love it this year. He just runs and jumps right through it. The snow definitely doesnt phase Princess one bit. She just marches right through it like it wasnt even there.

Do your dogs like snow?

The bikini Princess and Captain Oliver

There was a lot of competition this year at the Regatta pet parade. A lot of good costumes. As you can see Princess was a bikini girl. I loved the outfit. She looked so cute and did well. Princess loves dressing up because she knows she will get attention from everyone.

Cuteness of Oliver

I love this photo of me and Oliver. It is actually a still shot from the video, The J Bieber. Oliver is such a cutie! Dont cry. I know his cuteness can have that ability on people. Hehe. Even though he is a brat at times I love him to bits. He can always put a big smile on my face. Oliver!!!

Oliver the Super Duper Pooper

Oliver is a wonderful dog except he has one big downfall. He goes to the bathroom in the house. He is sneaky though! He wont do it when you are watching. He will all of a sudden come prancing into the living room licking his lips. Yes, when he poops, he eats it at times. Smelly and yucky! Anyways, my mom is getting really sick of our house smelling like urine and poop. So, we have a plan! Last two days my mom has kept him crated most of the time and she walks the dogs when we get home around threeish after school and work. Then I take them all for a walk at nine at night. Its only the beginning. When I graduate and am home I plan on having him crated or have him on a leash tied to me. I will take him out often and get him lots of exercise. Its going to be a challenge to get him trained since it seems like he has no knowledge that going to the bathroom outside is right and inside is wrong. I am up for the challenge and I will get this dog house trained. Bring it on little ver!

Spunky Skinny Oliver

Besides catching up on sleep, I spent my Saturday grooming Oliver. He needed it badly. He was way overdue for a nice summer haircut. Oliver is pretty cooperative while getting groomed, besides trying to jump off the groomers table every minute. Thank goodness for a noose to hold this crazy boy up there. The only places he gets kinda aggressive with are his legs and face. I got his legs done but I decided to use scissors for his whole face because I did not want him to cut his tongue on the clippers. Thats the last thing I need! Good thing I am pretty good at styling with scissors.

Doggie Dogwood

Trees are so magnificent. Tall, strong and beautiful all at the same time. This earth would not be the same without them. I like trees but let me tell you my mom loves trees. She could never live in a place with no trees. I think she would go crazy. Hehe. What is your favorite type of tree? Mine are dogwood trees but weeping willows are right behind. The photo above is the dogwood tree in our front yard. As you can see it blooms wonderful pink flowers in the spring time. I guess dogwoods are also my favorite because look what word it has in it. Dog!

Oh, did I tell you I taught Oliver a new trick?! Well, I did. Guess which one. Rollover. He is so smart! Let me tell you. It only took me, with pupperoni in my hand and a happy attitude to get him to accomplish it. He learned it in just a few minutes. A few minutes! He is brilliant. I bet I could teach him so much more. The only problem is he gets distracted so easily and he is always bouncing around. Always! Especially, if I have food in my hand or a toy. Its a challenge but I actually wanna teach all three dogs more tricks. They know a lot already but they can learn a lot more.

As you can see. I am surrounded by Callie and Princess when I am sleeping but I would not change it for anything. Callie likes to sleep above my head or near my feet most of the time. When she is not sleeping she is causing some sort of trouble. As for Princess, she sleeps next to me on her pillow. Yes, she has a pillow. Well, its mine but since I only need one I let her use the it. If she is not next to me I am holding her in my arms. She is my best sleeping medicine. Except, she sleeps on the floor when its warm because she starts making her clucking noise. Yes, a clucking noise. I will have to record it one day. Anyways, arent they cute together? Callie enjoys being around the dogs and I am glad Princess tolerates her.

I know you all want to know which photo I chose to enter in the photo contest. Do not worry. I am planning on sharing the results with you soon. I am just as excited as you are. Hehe! Until then I hope you have wonderful plans for the weekend and have fun. It is suppose to rain all weekend here so I might not do much. Maybe, I will record some videos and write a few short blog posts. Keep checking back because the chosen photo will be up soon! Peace out.

Cat vs Dog: Bed Wrestle

Today, when I got home, Oliver decided he wanted to come upstairs with me. So, he ran upstairs, checked everything out and then jumped on the bed. He started being his goofy self and rolling all over the bed. Callie saw it a good time to start playing with him. So, I had my camcorder near me to record their bed wrestle. They play so well together!

Tired Little Boy

I realized I have not shared doggie cuteness in awhile. How is that possible??? I do not know but I decided I would let Oliver grab center stage for this post. So a few months ago I took photos of Oliver on moms bed. Whenever she is out and he is not upsairs with me he will snuggle up on the big comfy bed. Such a small dog gets such a big bed. When I come in he gives me that look begging me to not make him get off. He is so spoiled! But how can you not spoil this boy? His face can make you just cry. That is how cute he is!

Christmas Holidays

Memories of Christmas

Waking up this morning I walked downstairs with one hand carrying the three gifts for my mom and the other hand carrying Callie. I always love Christmas morning. Just the wonderful thought in your head of giving and receiving makes my heart pound. I always wonder if my mom will like what I get her. Will she be pleased or disappointed. The thing is she is always happy and always tells me that it was thoughtful and its the thought that counts.

My mom loved her gifts this year. Put lots of smiles on her face. So, what did I get her? I got her this coupon book that has different things to make mom happy. For example, go to a movie together or clean your room. the second gift I got her was a calendar. She asked for it and I got it for her. Santa listened. The last and best gift is a painted cow that I knew she would love. There are huge painted cows in New York City that my mom always loved and wish she could have. So, I decided I would get her a little one painted with a garden scene. She loves it. Cant stop admiring it. I am happy about that because it was difficult choosing which one to get her. I wanted something she would love and I chose the perfect one.

Look I got a mustang for Christmas! Okay okay. It is not a real one but it is still awesome. It works for me for now. Makes me work on my dream to get one some day when I have the money. The dogs had some fun chasing it. So everyone meet my mustang sally.

Another thing my wonderful mother got me was a grooming table! I am so excited about it too. It means grooming the dogs will be so much easier. The pack wasnt so happy about it though. They gave me an evil look. Haha! Now you dogs cant run away from me while I am grooming you. I have to thank Princess for putting up with me while I was taking photos of her on my new grooming table. As you can see she was not pleased about the whole situation.

My last favorite thoughtful gift my mom gave me was a little camera backpack. The perfect gift for a photographer who likes walking and bicycling long distances and taking lots of photos. It will help me get a more variety of photographs. Thanks mom for believing that I could be successful in photography profession some day. Your the best.

Overall, it was a lovely Christmas. My Grandma came over and we had wonderful food. At least to me it was great. For an appetizer we had shrimp cocktail and then for the main course meal we had ravioli! It was delicious. I always love Christmas. Just a lovely thoughtful family holiday. I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and had a joyful fun day. I am tired and goint to get some sleep soon. Peace.
