"Hear Doggy" Dog Toy

This week my pups were lucky enough to receive a Hear Doggy "squeaky" toy...but the beauty is, they hear the squeak and we don't! At first I wasn't sure how well that would work, but sure enough when we squeak the toy we just hear a poof of air, but they tilt their heads like something very interesting is going on! We owe thanks to Go Pet Friendly for giving us the opportunity to try out the Hear Doggy. Lois Lane and L.B. are having some issues sharing so we may need to get another one (even though they will still want the same one).  We got the purple elephant, but there are several different animals to choose from and they are all very cute! Great toy for the dogs!


Hear Doggy Purple Elephant Toy

L.B. likes trying to "kill" it

Is that a smile, Lois Lane?

And the bickering begins...

Buddy doesn't know what all the fuss is about (he doesn't know what to do with a toy).

Sometimes They Get Along

These two are a funny pair. Lois Lane (the black one) is the only female dog we have and is aloof and thinks of herself as a Queen and a person moreso than a dog.  L.B. (the red chiweenie) is a total dog who loves his toys and wants to play with all dogs, no matter their size, breed or color. L.B. is quite wary of Lois Lane though as she isn't much the playing type and doesn't really seem to care for L.B. too much. Once in a while we'll catch her playing with him, but mostly he steers clear of her and her gnashing teeth.

So imagine my surprise to snap this shot of them bird watching out of the bedroom window. They like to do this while I work out (our workout room is the other half of our bedroom), but generally will only lay there one at a time. They laid like this throughout my entire workout watching their birds together today. Maybe they are growing to love one another!

Lois Lane Toes!

Can you spy with your little eye a Lois Lane?  Look for the little two white dots hovering over the chair.  That is Lois Lane's back feet just chillin' in the air while she snoozed away on her back in the leather armchair.  Talk about spoiled and comfortable!  She knows how to chillax!

On my mind... And on my feet!

063/365 - { On My Mind }

Today's FMSPhotoADay was "On my mind".  Well, when Lois Lane is laying on my feet she is certainly also on my mind.  She's, eh, gained a few pounds.  But I'll take snuggle time with her any way I can get it.  :)

L.B. - New Camera Model

As promised, my new Samsung NX300 arrived today.  I haven't messed with it too much, but so far so good.  The fur kids opted to model for me ( not so willingly, but they did ).  It's very fast, so fast that I can even get a photo of Lois Lane with the flash before she blinks.  That never happens!  I still have some things to figure out - it's not exactly the same as my D80, understandably.  And I definitely want to look into getting the 50 - 200mm telephoto lens.  I got the 18 - 50mm with the camera body, which will likely be my primary lens, but I still want the zoom capability for wildlife shots.  After that I'll look into the macros, but those get pricey so it just depends on how much I really want it and if I find a good deal.  Might try the macro filter rings first.  One step at a time!

Here are a few more test shots, can't leave anyone out!  More to come...you've been warned! ;)

How to Sit Like a Lady - Lesson 1

Lois Lane is a funny girl.  She sits in the recliner with her back feet propped on the arm of the chair and her back feet crossed at the ankle.  Such a proper gal.  Not really, she's very much bow-legged and it just happens.  ;)

Today's Movie Buddy and My Extra Heat Source

Today was a lazy day of movie watching as the snow came on down all day.  Lois Lane kept my feet warm while I wated Parental Guidance and most of Paranormal Activity.  Love lazy days with my pups!

Lois Lane - 7/365

Lois Lane loves sitting in the human chairs on the front porch.

It's Greenie Day!

Every Sunday around here is deemed "Greenie Sunday" since that is the one day a week the dogs get a special treat of a Greenie chew. Obviously they love it and get very excited.  Giant Dawg already had his out half way in the yard to ensure the littles didn't steal his Sunday treat away.

The Dog Whisperer

The dogs know who to go to when treats are being handed out!

All Tuckered Out

Today we took Lois Lane and L.B. to the Kentucky Humane Society Waggin' Trail - a 3 mile run / walk with the dogs to raise money for the KHS. They did really good! It was L.B.'s first time and he tried to break bad on every dog that crossed his path not realizing that most of them could squash him like a bug.  We didn't take Giant Dawg since he tends to get sick on car rides and it was pretty warm out, too.  This is the third year we've done the Waggin' Trail and plan to do many more!  Each one raises approximately $30,000 for KHS so it's well worth it - and fun!

Chair Thieves

Sibling love!

I think they might be starting to get along now. Lois is picky with who she plays with and is top dog around here.  L.B. should consider himself lucky - for now anyway.

Today's Sun-Shiney Walk

Today I decided to give Lois Lane some one on one attention so we took a nice long walk down our street.  It was a bit chilly, but the sun was shining and it was great to finally get outside for a while. I think Lois was quite happy as well.

Dog or Cat?

Lois Lane sometimes thinks she's a cat - or rather she's just totally spoiled and she pretty much does what she wants.  Here she was laying on part of Jason's desk while we worked.  He figured he may as well make her comfy and put her blanket up there. Rotten.

Working with Dad

Lois Lane is such a Daddy's girl.  She's wearing the Kong Cloud cone because she just had surgery to remove another spot of cancer on her side. She's been moping around eating up the extra attention she's getting. (These collars are so much better than the cone of shame and more comfortable for the dog, also).

Snug as a Bug in a Rug

Lois Lane likes to be wrapped up in the fleece blankets in the winter when it's chilly.

Lois Lane Was Chilly This Morning

Lois Lane was still chilly this morning, even with her hooded fleece sweater on.

Our Little Office Assistant

Any time we get up out of our office chair, Lois promptly takes over.  We had an extra chair in the office so it's now dedicated to Lois Lane, Webfoo Office Assistant.

Lois Lane Chilling with Her New LED Collar

I bought a pink LED collar for Lois Lane since she often roams around in the un-fenced back yard while we are sitting on the porch at night.  Since she is black we can't see her at all, but with this handy collar I know exactly where she is!  Want one?  Get one here in your choice of color!
