Doggie Pool Day
So last week it was Hot, Hot, HOT around these parts. So I spent one afternoon out back and let the pups have a swim day...well Olive had a swim day at least...
She LOVES the water, I am sure you have heard me mention that many times in the past!
She has a method to her madenss...she takes one paw and raises it into the air...
She plops it hard down into the water and waits for the SPLASH...
Then...she attacks the SPLASH...snapping at it and barking at it!
All the while...Pickle watches from afar. He doesn't care much for water at all!!
He would occasionally wander over, licking his chops like the water action looked appealing...
...but then he would just wander away...
and then plop down in the sun to rest and watch Olive enjoy her own personal water-world!
"Hey! Pickle! Where'd ya go?!?! Don'tcha wanna play with me?!?!?!"
So, in an effort to get Pickle involved...I tried tossing the ball into the water...(fav picture of the day by the way!)
He missed the ball...so he carefully hops into the water...
...he locates the ball...
...then he quickly dunks his head under water to grab the ball...
...and he makes his quick escape!
All the while...Olive carries on with her...plop...splash...snap...bark routine!!
and I loved every single second of it!! :)

Nonsense.
Just a little nonsense with the video camera and the dogs.
I'm silly.
It's ok, they still love me.
It looked to me like Pickle was at the drive-thru window...so I went with it. :)

Sweet Puppies
You know...for as much as they can annoy the life out of me, and drive me crazy with their antics...these are some pretty great pups. There are plenty of sweet moments...when they get along and cuddle...or when they do what they are told, the first time (training for kids or what ehh?!) When Pickle does whatever he can to get to Dad's face when he's napping on the couch to give him kissies. Or when Olive snuggles at my feet and won't move, even if I need to get up.
Great, great pups.
Great, great pups.

Our Poisonous Garden?
My friend TT, got me a beautiful Foxglove plant for me, for my birthday. I love foxgloves, but had never purchased one for myself.
These are the above mentioned Foxgloves... :)
I had always heard that they were poisonous to animals, i.e. Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, etc. I can't say I am not too worried about cats, as they don't usually enter my backyard (we have a 6 foot tall privacy fence and two cat-hating dogs, so they don't take their chances.) The neighborhood cats DO like to poop randomly in our front gardens, ick...but they haven't been as bad this year. As far as rabbits are concerned, they are everywhere around our neighborhood, but like the cats, they don't cross into dog territory.
However...I worry about the DOG factor. I have two dogs...that love, LOVE, LOVE their backyard. They love to munch on the grass, but I have never seen them show any attention to any of the other plants in the backyard.
So I didn't think I wanted to take my chances with the planting the Foxgloves in the backyard. So I decided to do a little research today. I was surprised to find that 7 of the 13 plants we currently have growing in our backyard are considered poisonous to dogs:
Morning Glory - Clinical Signs: Gastrointestinal upset, agitation, tremors, disorientation, ataxia, anorexia. Seeds may cause hallucination, may cause diarrhea.
Peony - Clinical Signs: Vomiting, diarrhea, depression
Wisteria - Clinical Signs: Vomiting (sometimes with blood), diarrhea, depression
English Ivy - Clinical Signs: Vomiting, abdominal pain, hypersalivation, diarrhea. Foliage is more toxic than berries
Hydrangea - Clinical Signs: Vomiting, depression, diarrhea. Cyanide intoxication is rare – usually produces more of a gastrointestinal disturbance.
Hosta - Clinical Signs: Vomiting, diarrhea, depression.
Foxglove - Clinical Signs: Cardiac arrhythmias, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, cardiac failure, death.
So my thoughts? It's really on the Foxgloves that scare me a little...seeing as how they are the only ones mentioned to possibly lead to DEATH; also seeing as how the other 6 plants have been in the backyard now for 1+ years with no issue...I think I am safe with just planting the Foxgloves out front and proceeding with new backyard plants with caution.
Who knew a pretty garden could impact my furry little friends so much.

Cause I truly love them too
In honor of my pups...I am going to repost one of my favorite random posts...ENJOY!
Pickle and Olive writing...
I don't think we have ever done this before...
No, we haven't. At least not since I have been here, and that's been almost two years.
Right, well...let's get down to business shall we?
Well, that is why we are here...gosh, you are so formal Pickle. And can you please scoot over! Do you always have to sit SO close to me!
You smell nice, ok?! Anyways, back to why we are here. Mom writes about us on occasion, and I don't think that Dad ever has...
Mom doesn't do it nearly enough, in my opinion...and does Dad even blog anymore??
...and you always have to share your opinion don't you? You are so greedy! Like the other night when Dad was petting me behind the ears, you ran over and interrupted!
Oh please, you get tons of attention with all of your medical issues! Mom fawns all over you to get you well. I mean, what's up with the 'rear-end' problems you have...seriously, that's gross.
I can't help it! It just happens. And it's really painful I'll have you know!
It's real GROSS, that's what it is! Whaaa? Be right back, I need to run around for a minute.
She drives me CRAZY! I am so embarrassed now. Sorry you had to hear all that. She knows how much I hate people knowing my business...anyways. About why we are writing. This is more directed at our parents. We really wish you would write about us more often. At least put up more pictures.
*running past* yeah...causeee I ammm reaaaallllyyy ccuuuuttteee!!
Can you not sit still? These people are going to stop reading!
*comes back and sits in the corner by herself* Fine. I'm here. Where were we? Oh. Right. So, Mom and Dad...you totally need to write about us. How fun I am, how quirky I am, how cute I am...
HEY! I'm cute! I do fun things!
Please, all you do is kiss-up to Dad. "Oh Dad, play ball with me...I wanna be your best friend...ruff, ruff, ruff." Pathetic. You have to know he can see that you only want to play with him when he is leaving for work! What about the other 23 1/2 hours in the day?
Oh! OH! I love Dad. He's is like my favorite person in the house and he KNOWS that!
Nice Pickle. How do you think Mom's going to feel about that, when she reads this? She's going to get all sad and whine to Dad about how it was her idea to get you, and how she cleans up your poop and wipes your rear, you know...when the 'issues' arise. And there you go just pushing her to the side like she were chopped liver.
*thinks to himself* Hmmm chopped liver sounds yummy...
Pickle! Hey! Are you listening to me? You never listen to me. Nope. Of course not, you are thinking about food again aren't you! You know, you aren't going to have a body like that forever, it WILL catch up to you!
Oh, I'm sorry, we all can't be young and spry like you, do you even eat! *fart* Ooops... *sniff, sniff* Sorry.
That's gross.
Look, let's just give the nice people our message and be on our way, I think it's about time for a nap anyways. I'm gonna go crack a window...
Ok...so here it is. Mom and Dad...write about us MORE. We have stories to tell too! We have cute faces that are just begging for pictures to be taken...and if you wanna focus a little more on me, then I am fine with that...
Gesh Olive, I leave the room for a minute and you bring all the attention back to you! I am over this...I'm going to take a nap in the bay window...race you for the best seat! *runs off*
NOT fair, you got a head start!!!! Piiiccckkkllleeee!!!!

He truly loves them...
Husby wasn't a huge fan of dogs when I initially brought up the idea of getting one of our own...but we got Pickle and they became fast buddies!
...then after a few years he was ready for another one...that's when we adopted Olive.
He still rarely picks up poo or cleans up pee-pee...but he will occasionally help when Olive randomly vomits all the water that she just drank too quickly and he is always helpful when feeding or treat time comes around. He has a special bond with Pickle...they are the boys of the house, and Pickle looks forward to playing ball every night while Husby gets ready for work.
Lately...Husby has been forming a pretty special bond with our little pretty lady Olive too...he has even grabbed the camera to take some snapshots of her funny antics!
But last night...was a shocker. We stopped and got some ice cream and he was finishing his up in the kitchen when I walked in to find him doing this...
Yes! You are seeing that correctly...he is feeding Olive some of his ice cream, then eating the rest of it! My Husband is sharing his ice cream, the same spot he licks, with the dog.
I was shocked to say the least.
I mean, I thought it was down-right cute...but I was shocked! :)
Afterall, who wouldn't share with such a sweetie...look, as she waited patiently, almost as if saying "lookie at how cute I am, you should give me more..."
I didn't catch it on film...but he was super greedy....like always...and he went for a full BITE of ice cream! We had to say...woah woah, just a lick buddy!!! haha!!
It was a sweet ending to my day!
...just look at how tiny he was!!

One proud Momma...
April writing...
My sweet littleTerrors Terriers.
They complete our little Family...for now.
I decided about two weeks ago that I would let them stay out of their crates at night. I knew that Pickle was capable of sleeping through the night without any mischievous behavior. After all before we adopted Olive he slept out overnight...but he did create some early wake up calls some mornings!!
Now Olive has had some issues in the past...chewing cabinets...peeing...tearing up pillows, etc; all under the cover of night!
I realized though...if they get adequate exercise during the day, they tend to sleep through the night. And they are definitely MY dogs because they do not mind sleeping in! Bless their little hearts!
Boy are they making Momma (and Daddy) proud!!
I was a little worried with all of this snow...because they haven't got much exercise...
But they are doing great and this is actually where they are sleeping right now...

Good job pups!! With more power comes more responsibility...don't make me regret this :P
and by that I mean, don't let me awaken to my couches being torn apart or stepping into a pile of...well...anything that would come out of your pretty little bodies!!! :P

Puppy presents
April writing...
*sidenote* I am not sure why my pictures are looking so lame this week. I think it's how I downloaded them off of my camera...boo. I must fix that!!
Moving on...
I thought I would share the Christmas present un-wrapping that the pups did!
Here's Pickle tearing into his present...of which I am already pretty sure he knew what it was! he loves this little wool stuffed man that we get him every so often...we call him Chinaman...and no it's not a racist thing...that's what the tag said when we bought him his first one...so it stuck!
Lately, he hasn't been able to have a Chinaman around cause Olive quickly tears it apart...she loves chewable things...and especially ones with hidden squeakers!
Merry Christmas pups...hope you enjoyed your toys!!! (while most of them lasted!)

...and yes, he enjoyed Chinaman about 4 days before Olive tore it up :(
And then Olive...she took her present and ran into the office and hid in her spot under the chair..she proceeded to slowly bit off bits and bits of the paper till she exposed the prize!
She was very happy to find a chewie...and she still hasn't destroyed it! Thankfully! It has become a TASK to find toys that she CAN'T chew up in two days!
Pickle fell right back into practice squishing his little friend in his mouth, quietly squeaking it. He usually will do this till he falls asleep...it's the funniest thing really. It's almost like it lulls him to sleep...he will have his eyes closed, still slowly and softly squeezing the toy every few seconds!
Merry Christmas pups...hope you enjoyed your toys!!! (while most of them lasted!)

Where I was at midnight
April writing...
So this is the story of my mischievous pup, Pickle.
Pickle is my stubborn dog. He has to wear an electric collar so he won’t dig under the back fence and head into the neighbors yards, where there are bigger dogs waiting to ‘play.’
About 3 months ago, we let him out one night without his collar, cause we were headed to bed…and in that 3-5 minutes, he dug and got under the fence. (He liked to follow after the chipmunks that we have by our shed) The only problem was…he picked the back fence. (You see our backyard backs up evenly to two other back yards. We have a privacy fence, both of our back neighbors have privacy fences, plus there are two other chain link fences falling apart between the privacy fences.)
So that’s where he got stuck. Luckily, this night my husband was home and he is tall and skinny enough to wiggle his way between the fences and rescue Pickle. So after that night (I think he was traumatized for a while and steered clear of all of the fences) it hasn’t happened again….UNTIL LAST NIGHT.
Well, I let him out last night…with his electric collar on…because I had learned my lesson. I went in to get ready for bed. When I noticed that Pickle hadn’t come back inside I knocked on the back window to let him know it was time to come back in. I waited, and waited…nothing. So I figured that he was probably sleeping in the backyard, which he loves to do. So I walked out to get him. I called out his name and he wasn’t there. After my eyes adjusted (the lighting isn’t great in the back yard) I couldn’t see my little white dog anywhere. Then I heard him bark. Sure enough it was coming from what sounded like my back neighbors backyard. I thought to myself, “you have GOT to be kidding me!”
I ran inside, grabbed my tennis shoes and a flashlight. Then I ran around to the side of the house to get the ladder. Now this thing is heavy, so I am dragging it across the backyard! I lay it up against the back fence at the spot where I see he has dug his way under. I peeked over the fence and ran my light through the empty spaces in between the fence and sure enough…there he was about 25 feet down the fence line. He was stuck between to fence posts and wouldn’t try squeezing past to come back towards me.
So I moved the ladder over to where he was and tried to straddle the fences and to reach down between to grab the nap of his neck to pull him out. But…I have zero balance and my arms aren’t long enough…and I could see bad things happening. I was home alone (my husband was at work) so I knew that I would have to do this on my own. So I thought, well he got himself in there by digging, so I guess I will dig a new hole and get him out. So that’s what I did. I think in that process I must have scared Pickle half to death cause he wouldn’t’ dig from his side to help, that and I am sure he knew he was in trouble already. Not to mention he was being shocked every few seconds cause he had his collar on. Poor guy. Luckily it was on a pretty low setting.
Finally, he started digging, so while he got started, I ran into the house to grab my camera…as I am always the one to keep track of wonderful memories like this! Haha!
So here is where the video starts off…you have me, out of breath from running around, dragging a ladder and digging, just begging and encouraging my dog to dig himself out. Right before I turned on the camera, I had dug out enough space to reach under and at least grab his electric collar off his neck…so he wouldn’t get shocked anymore.
The whole ordeal lasted about 20 minutes I caught the last 3-4 minutes on film. Enjoy the video.

Oh please, you get tons of attention with all of your medical issues! Mom fawns all over you to get you well. I mean, what's up with the 'rear-end' problems you have...seriously, that's gross.
I can't help it! It just happens. And it's really painful I'll have you know!
It's real GROSS, that's what it is! Whaaa? Be right back, I need to run around for a minute.
She drives me CRAZY! I am so embarrassed now. Sorry you had to hear all that. She knows how much I hate people knowing my business...anyways. About why we are writing. This is more directed at our parents. We really wish you would write about us more often. At least put up more pictures.
*running past* yeah...causeee I ammm reaaaallllyyy ccuuuuttteee!!
Can you not sit still? These people are going to stop reading!
*comes back and sits in the corner by herself* Fine. I'm here. Where were we? Oh. Right. So, Mom and Dad...you totally need to write about us. How fun I am, how quirky I am, how cute I am...
HEY! I'm cute! I do fun things!
Please, all you do is kiss-up to Dad. "Oh Dad, play ball with me...I wanna be your best friend...ruff, ruff, ruff." Pathetic. You have to know he can see that you only want to play with him when he is leaving for work! What about the other 23 1/2 hours in the day?
Oh! OH! I love Dad. He's is like my favorite person in the house and he KNOWS that!
Nice Pickle. How do you think Mom's going to feel about that, when she reads this? She's going to get all sad and whine to Dad about how it was her idea to get you, and how she cleans up your poop and wipes your rear, you know...when the 'issues' arise. And there you go just pushing her to the side like she were chopped liver.
*thinks to himself* Hmmm chopped liver sounds yummy...
Pickle! Hey! Are you listening to me? You never listen to me. Nope. Of course not, you are thinking about food again aren't you! You know, you aren't going to have a body like that forever, it WILL catch up to you!
Oh, I'm sorry, we all can't be young and spry like you, do you even eat! *fart* Ooops... *sniff, sniff* Sorry.
That's gross.
Look, let's just give the nice people our message and be on our way, I think it's about time for a nap anyways. I'm gonna go crack a window...
Ok...so here it is. Mom and Dad...write about us MORE. We have stories to tell too! We have cute faces that are just begging for pictures to be taken...and if you wanna focus a little more on me, then I am fine with that...
Gesh Olive, I leave the room for a minute and you bring all the attention back to you! I am over this...I'm going to take a nap in the bay window...race you for the best seat! *runs off*
NOT fair, you got a head start!!!! Piiiccckkkllleeee!!!!

Pickle doesn't like medicine...

...a funny little video to show you how Pickle ran and hid from me tonight when it was time to clean
up his 'wound.'

Aren't they the cutest?
April writing...
They are just too much. It was such a beautiful sunny day out yesterday I had to break out the camera. Of course...they are terds and usually run away when said camera comes out. However, I did manage to break off some good shots before they darted off...
I absolutely love the last one...Pickle's eyes are closed...he almost looks like he is laughing. Truth be told...with the last few pictures, I wanted them to sit next to each other...the only way I could keep them there there was to bribe them with chips...and I still couldn't get them right next to each other! :)
