Popsicle Puppies

1 comments

The weather here has been gorgeous the past week, full of warm temperatures and sunshine. In fact, the other day it was downright hot outside. I had the brilliant idea that a popsicle might be just the ticket, and brought one with me out to the backyard.

But I forgot about the dogs. After all, dogs need to stay cool too ;=)

Jessie thought a cold treat was a good idea, but wasn't crazy about the orange flavor.

Rambo, however, was a different story. I had a hard time convincing him to share!

Although it looks as though he is going to devour the whole popsicle in one bite, he was actually very good about licking rather than biting off chunks.

:=)


After Rambo finished off the popsicle, I decided to treat all the dogs to some milk. We had half a gallon of milk in the refrigerator that tasted somewhat sour, although it had not yet reached the expiration date. The dogs all crowded in - heads together - to quickly lap it up and it was hard to get a good shot.

I told Rambo so and he was happy to take a moment to help me out.

They all took the time to let me know how mmm-mmm good it was!


Gotta get the other side as well ;)

All gone, Meeka. Sorry :-(

Yikes! Maybe I shouldn't have said that... ;-)

My Wild Dogs

0 comments

One of my favorite things to do when I'm taking a break from working is to go out in the backyard and watch my dogs. They are outside dogs and have a huge yard to roam free in. In fact, our backyard is bigger than many of enclosures I've seen for exotic animals at zoo.

In our backyard, Meeka, Jessie and Rambo are allowed to live naturally. The only difference is that Meeka and Jessie are spayed, they all are fed everyday and they love for us to come out and play with them!

Yesterday while "dog-watching", I took this picture.

Pack Mentality

Meeka (left) likes to make faces but she is actually very gentle with the puppies. Jessie (center) is currently the lowest in the pecking order, but she is not afraid to stand up for herself if need be. Rambo (back, left) is the dominant male. He's really started challenging Meeka in recent weeks and I'm sure he'll soon be taking her place as "pack leader". Meeka and Jessie are spayed - Rambo is not. I was planning to get him neutered shortly, but have noticed that his male behavior is making him very protective of the house and its' residents, which I am very pleased with as we do not live in the best neighborhood. I'm thinking about letting him stay a full male for a little longer before getting him fixed - we will see. :)

No puppies were harming in the making of this photograph. ;-)

I promise. :)
