Rain, rain go away!

The long weekend is over, Mom went back to work, it's been raining outside for a week and we're depressed!!

Poor Ellie doesn't even have the gumption to chew on her confiscated measuring cup....


Poor Benny cut his paw trying to escape from the kennel. It's really deep and Mom had to wrap it up. Now he walks like he has three legs! It's really slowing down his kitty chasing!


Here's a close up!

Even Molly got tired of trying to escape into the backyard. She doesn't like rain!

I hope the sun comes out this weekend! Mom said we're getting baths though because of the insane amount of mud we've been walking through. Ugh! :(

Still moving in...

Mom has been super busy moving into our new house! She has everything moved but now she has to put it all away. In the meantime, she's been shoving us out into the "dog park" backyard. We don't mind though. There are lots of smells to smell, holes to dig, dogs to bark at and wrestling to do. We LOVE it! :)

All that activity makes us tired though. Here are some pics mom took with her iPhone...

Ellie thinks my wiggle butt makes a good pillow!



She also likes to lay on Mom's legs. For such a small dog, she's a big bed hog!



That's why Ben and I have to snuggle together. Or so I said...


Jack got the other side of the bed. He needs room for those giant ears!



Hopefully we can catch up on some sleep this week...

Another new family member?!?!

So I guess Mom thought we are going to have a lot of extra room in our new house and she added another family member. This is Ben...


He is scared of cameras! Silly boy!


He's also really tired after his journey to us.


But he is super handsome! Mom said something about him being her "dream dog". WHAT?!?!


Mom rescued him from a bad situation. He was chained up outside with no food or water. He's also missing a lot of hair on his stomach and his neck because his collar was too tight. Luckily, he's heartworm negative and Mom got him neutered. He's put on about 10 lbs already and probably needs another 5. Mom has even been cooking him eggs and other yummy treats. I guess he deserves it...

I'm so excited!

Yay! Mom finally got sick of walking us around downtown 10 million times a day and decided to rent a house! We now have our very own dog park right in the back yard! We officially move in this weekend but we tested it out last night. It's dog approved!

This is probably what I'm going to look like from now on...

Did you miss me?

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a long time! I have lots to catch you up on.

Mom was away on a trip to California. She went to something called a vineyard.

Then she went to San Francisco. She stayed at a hotel on the ocean. It was pretty but she wished I was there to play in the water.

Look at all the swimming possibilities!

Before she left she took us hiking! Uncle Ian and Aunt Sandy came along. They took Maya, Murphy and Riley, too!

They are all sissies from New York though! No one wanted to swim with me!

Riley warned Ellie how cold it was!

So she just wanted to play in the leaves.

Afterwards we had to have baths. Then we took a nap on the couch. Mom didn't even get mad that we were semi-wet because we're SO cute!

Good news! Murray got adopted! He went to his new home last Saturday. I can't say I'm going to miss him very much. He was too rambuctious and always tried to eat out of my food bowl.

But we still have Kate! Mom got sick of her laying on the bookshelf and knocking the lamp down so she let Kate use Ellie's new dog bed...


I don't think Ellie is ever going to get to lay in it again!

Ellie was pretty sad when she saw what happened. She was even more upset when mom took her to the vet to get spayed yesterday! It was a quiet night without her. I can't wait to pick her up today!

Ellie's new Halloween Costume

Ellie ate her fairy wings and ruined her costume so Mom got her a new one in preparation for next year. Hopefully it will still fit or Molly will be subjected to the torture. :)

It's a girl!

I bet you didn't see this one coming!! Yeah right...

Mom tried to bring Ellie to the adoption fair and all kinds of strangers were petting her! She couldn't stand it so she decided to keep her! I guess it'll be alright to have a little sister. As long as she continues to listen to me and do as I say!

Halloween Fun!

We didn't go crazy for Halloween this year but I wanted to share a few pics.

Ellie borrowed my costume from last year. She was a fairy princess for the adoption fair!



We thought she looked like a sissy so we attacked her! :)



The cat got all freaked out! Look at that tail!



Jack wins the award for best costume! Look how cute he is! ARRHHGG!

Murray's Water Slide

As dangerous as this looks, gumby legs did not break his neck!

Hiking & Swimming

It was such a beautiful day yesterday that Mom decided to take us ALL hiking at Pilot Mountain. Look at those fall colors!

Ellie and Murray relaxed on the way there...

We started off with some hiking and some weed sniffing.

Then we went to the river for some swimming.


Ellie was a little scared of the water so she hung out with this tree.

I, of course, got wet and then ran around in the dirt!

Jack followed me!

Murray couldn't keep up so he decided to do something else...

Go down the "water slide" over and over! Mom was laughing so hard!

Ellie got really tired and had to be carried back to the car. Wimp!

This is the "after photo". Mom had just told me I was getting a bath as soon as we got home. I can't imagine why??

Here I am getting clean. I look so pretty now! I'll post some clean pictures of me later.
