Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to our dad who we love lots and lots. Have fun playing your video games today. Glad you are home this father's day.
Oh and mom says she would also like to wish Pappy a happy fathers day from her. Even though he probably will not read this since he is riding around the country on his motorcycle right now. And no Grammie is not with him.
Here is a picture of dad and I sleeping this morning that mom took with her new phone.

Happy Belated Birthday to our Grammie

As you all know our Grammie is Moco's mom and moco is our mom's 4 legged sister. Well it was Grammie's birthday on Thursday and you know what happened? Our mom missed it!!!!!!!!! Yep she thought the 4th was friday and so she didn't even wish her own mother a happy birthday on the right day. What kind of a daughter is that? Hmmph not a very good one I tell you. Well since we had to wait for mom to help us type this post our wishes are also late but Flash and I knew Grammie's birthday was the 4th and that the 4th was Thursday and we were sending Grammie good wishes on the right day.

So Happy Belated Birthday Grammie. We won't tell everyone you are now 999 years old.

Wordless Wednesday

On Memorial Day

we remember all who have died in service of their country.

What goes on after school

It's about time

Oh my goodness we are getting no help in blogging at all. Mom says she is busy with her 5 college classes. Then last week she went into the dollar general and applied for a job. The manager hired her right there but they have to do a background check and mom hasn't heard anything back from them. She is going around the house saying they probably don't want her to work now but it would be nice if they told her that.

Anyway we missed blogging about Flash's adoption day last week and he is complaining about the fact that he hasn't been able to blog in forever so mom promised to help him on friday.

Now on to what you all want to hear about My mortal enemy. Okay well mom says it is more of my nemesis but I like mortal enemy better so that is what I go with. Now you all know how I can open almost anything. The fridge (which is why there is a babylock on it). The oven and the broiler. I can open doors sometimes also. Well mom and dad had the trash can on top of the fridge but my boy couldn't reach it and was leaving trash just whenever. Then they put it in the laundry room but even with a baby guard on the door knob I would sometimes get it open and help myself. So mom went searching for trash cans. She bought this thing.

Now we've had it for a little while and I hate it. I wouldn't even allow her to put up a picture of the real one that resides in our house. It is awful. I can not get that thing open no matter how hard I try. Mom actually laughs at me now when I try. Let me tell you. I am not happy. I am not happy at all. My goal is to get into this trash can and get the yummy goodness inside but so far it hasn't worked.

Okay mom is making me put a link to the trash can. Here it is. Oh and she also wanted to point out that it comes with stuff to anchor it to a wall but she hasn't used that and I still can't get it open. She says it was really expensive but it was worth every penny. I think she should have spent her money on something else.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to all of our friends. In a few days I will fill you all in on my mortal enemy which has come to reside in my house.

almost wordless wednesday

I, Shelby, have hijacked the blog to bring you lovely pictures of me.

Shameful

We were visiting our friends Cooper and Dozer and what they posted about we find just shameful. So we've copied their post below since they explain it very well.

Shameful Website - Cooper's Rant

I was just reading the Pet Connection blog and came upon a website they were discussing http://bringyourdoganywhere.com/ where you can pay big bucks to have your dog "certified" as a Service Dog so you can take your dog into places that normally do not allow animals (Post Office, restaurants, stores, etc). And people are buying this "certification" so they can get an animal vest and patches for $365.00. And they tell you right up front that they don't provide any training and you self-administer a "test" to determine if your dog is a Service Dog. This is just a way that you can circumvent the law.

Now I realize that I am an older dog and you young pups may think I am set in my ways, but this is not a "service", it is a disservice to the many wonderful dogs that train and provide service to all the people in the world who really need it. To buy a fake vest just so you can take your pet into the shoe store because it is more convenient for you is shameful.

I've gotten myself a little hot under the collar so Mum says I need to go have a little nap while she figures out how to contact these folks and in a nice way give them a piece of her mind. (I love it when Mum gets a burr under her butt and gets her Thesaurus out to tell folks six ways to Sunday how naughty they are!)

My turn

To show you some of my puppy pictures. Here I am playing football
Relaxing on a box after playing football

That baby gate was to keep me out of the bedrooms. The footstool was to let my kids get over the gate

I thought I might be able to use it to get over but it didn't work.

Now I would just knock the babygate over and be on my way to where I want to go.
I'm a little over 3 months old in all these pictures. Man I was a cute puppy who turned into a handsome guy.

Puppy pics

Mom had all our puppy pics on a zip disk. The old computer had the zip drive on it. Well she finally got an external zip drive so she could see all the pictures (baby pics of our boy also among all the others). Here are some of my puppy pics.
Peanut checking me out

Sleeping

Eating

Look wasn't I little? I fit under Peanut's big ol chest

In this one. I'm a couple months older. Still a puppy though


Later Taters,
Flash (who's still really cute)

I've been pouting

Okay you all know how mom went to watch the Brat Pack right? Okay well look what I found on her computer.

Do you see what she bought them? I didn't get any of those. What is wrong with this woman?
It just isn't right I tell. Not Right.

Wordless Wednesday

Dad and I won Photo of the Month. :) Thanks to all who voted for us. If you want to see the photo you can go to Dogs with Blogs and we are on the front page on on the bottom.
Oh and Mom is home and caught up on her school work so we can soon share pictures of what she brought home for us.

Vote for me please

I was nominated for photo of the month for this photo of when Dad came home.


If you want to please go to the Bone Zone and vote for me or vote for whatever photo you think deserves to win. Just go vote :)

Thanks
Peanut

Well she left us

to go take care of the Brat Pack.

She really should have taken me so I could see my friends. How could she not take us?
I don't think I will forgive her when she comes home.

Where is she going?

Mom went and bought one of these things

She also went and bought a whole bunch of food that will be easy for dad to make for the kids.
The woman keeps talking about her vacation. How can she leave us when we just got dad back? We do know she's leaving Wednesday but that is all the info we have.
We are off to do some more investigating as to where she is going and for how long.

Flash saturday

We had problems with blogger yesterday so I couldn't post. So here I am on a saturday.
Not much has been going on here. Just a little of this

Don't worry I like it in there.
A little hanging out with our girl

Some laying on dad

Getting ready to give him a kiss

That one above is me letting everyone know
How I feel about this stupid lug

Funny right? haha
Over and out
Later gators,
Flash

a video

Okay my told me I had to tell you she isn't really old. She is only 33. Also I want to say I'm sorry to Grammie for saying you are over 900 years old. I hope you don't ever hold that against me in the treat department.

We want to share this video of when dad came home.


We've been spending time with dad so not much blogging for us but now he's been home for a little while and we will be back to updating more.
Flash will actually be back tomorrow for Flash Friday.
