Guard Dogs- Back to Back

Ahhh, my boys. Such ferocious beasts guarding their yard.  Back to back to cover all angles.  Ha - they wish! This just ensures they see and bark at every. single. thing. that moves be it leaf, plane, bird or cloud.  And bark they do.  Luckily our neighbors aren't too close.  But hey, we built a dog yard for a reason...stand guard and bark on!

Border Patrol

Giant Dawg makes his rounds several times a day around the perimeter of the yard to ensure all is in good order.  He's an inside dog, but loves his yard and makes sure all is protected. He'll chase anything out that doesn't belong ( birds, squirrels, rabbits, etc - or kill them if he catches them ), but anything that is inside that belongs he protects very well.  Even when we had the chickens he knew they were to be protected, not eaten, which is rare for a Pyrenees ( they are well known to kill chickens, even on their own turf ).  He's a good boy - stubborn, but good.

The Boyz Version of P90X3

L.B. and Buddy like to share Buddy's crate when I do my workouts (their crates are in the bedroom as is our workout area).  Lois Lane prefers the bed where she can watch the birds on the feeder just out the window.  I think it's cute how the boys snuggle together - and they stay out of my way!

Green Eyed Monster

Buddy with his giant head in my hand and his alien green glowing eyes.  Kinda makes him look  a little spooky, no?  I had posted last week about him injuring his back...I'm happy to report that after a couple of days on some anti-inflammatory meds, he is back to his old, goofy self.  :)

Lazy Buddy - 36/365

This was one of those last minute "crap I forgot my daily photo until right before I head to bed" photos. Luckily Giant Dawg is always a willing subject.  And this shows me that I need to clean the mirrored doors to the pantry ( and the rug but that's a daily chore with all the dog hair in this house ).

Lounging Buddy - 24/365

I was testing out my new SD Card and Buddy was  willing subject.

Me and Buddy - 8/365

Buddy and I went on a 2 mile hike at Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve.  It was a nice, overcast day, though humid.  I was hoping to get four miles in, but Buddy, being furry and large and not used to walking more than his yard, puttered out on me at about two miles.  Just as we were heading back to the parking lot he found a creek.  I let him get a drink and before I knew it he had plopped right down in the middle of it to cool off.  So we sat around for another 20 minutes waiting for him to quit dripping before I got him back in the car.  I think he enjoyed it though.

Giant Dawg & Chiweenie (1/365)

Today I've been going through some old blog posts and was able to re-enjoy my former attempts at my photography projects.  I've also been wanting to get back into my hobby photography since I haven't touched my poor camera in many, many months.  So, naturally I began a Project 365 again today.  ( Project 365 is a photo every day for one year )  Naturally my pups are in the limelight for a lot of my shots, so why not start off with two of them!  Buddy and L.B. graciously posed for me against the graying backdrop this evening.  Aren't they a stellar couple?  ;)

Measuring / cutting pads make good pillows

Buddy always joins me in the loft while I work on craft projects. Tonight he decided the measuring /cutting mat would make a nice, cool pillow.  As hot as it is up there in the summer I'm surprised he comes up at all, but he does tend to follow me around wherever I go.  He may like it if I decide to relocate. :)

Fur Buddies

This was mostly to test out my new blog layout to make sure the photos were displaying properly on the home page.  It works! And it's my boys, so double win!  :)

Giant Dawg, Chicken Whisperer

Dog Toys Make Good Pillows, Too

Office Comforts

This dog will make himself comfortable anywhere!

Eating is SO Exhausting!

Sometimes Buddy just cracks me up. I guess he was a little tired this evening and couldn't be bothered to stand up and eat.  He would lay his head on the bowl until the food fell on the floor and then ate it from the rug.  Silly dog.

GD is watching American Horror Story with me

I've recently been catching up on the first two seasons of American Horror Story since we finally got them all.  It's cold and dreary out so Giant Dawg accompanied me on the couch to watch a few episodes.  Doesn't he look thrilled?

Buddy and Buddy Chilling in the Office

Buddy Bingo is staying with us for a week while Mom and Dad are on vacation. It gets confusing having two dogs named Buddy in the house sometimes, but at least they both come when you call to either one of them.  :P

Good morning!

Buddy likes to make goofy faces early in the morning.

Lap Dog

Buddy really thinks that he fits perfectly in someone's lap.  He's a little delusional.

King of the King

A king size bed for a king size dog...or so Buddy thinks so anyway.  I'm really regretting getting a black bedspread now...

How can you ignore that face!

"Please pet me."  There is no sitting around without touching Buddy if he's anywhere in the vicinity.
