Wordless Wednesday - On Guard

Forced Marches, Ninja Destroyers, and Boredom...

Harlow gets the heebie-jeebies something fierce sometimes.  They usually start in the morning, and she can barely contain her little furry self.  Saturday morning was one of those days...

Unfortunately, I have no photos of the mayhem she created in the house since she woke me up at 4AM to begin her celebration of all things Golden, but, I quickly made the decision she needed to march off some of that energy.

I took her to feed horses with me and we set off from there on a two mile walk.  Of course, for Harlow who was more interested in perfecting her "hover dog" maneuver, the walk quickly turned into a forced march...

Forward, March!

It didn't take long for her to settle, especially when she realized that the desert is full of things to shnooter, from coyote poop to javelina tracks...

My wild kinfolk were here...

She was still pretty perky after two miles.  For our East Coast friends, notice anything strange in the picture below?

On the trip home - see how pretty and green it is?

That's right - no snow!  It was getting pretty warm by the time we got back to the car...

She still had a lot of energy when we got back, so after a quick rest:

ZZZZZzzzzzz.....

She moved on to other things of interest...

...and while we didn't actually catch her at the scene of the crime, we did find clues that led us to firmly believe she was the culprit.  See that blue thing at the top?  That is what was left of a roll of blue masking tape.  We found matching blue tape in her little furry armpits...  Yup, Sherlock has nothing on us... 

Happy Valentine's Day!

We hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day and a wonderful Friday!

Will you be my Valentine?

Spend the day with people you love, friends and family...

In which Monty agrees to be in one picture...

Get dressed up and wear lots of red...

...and most of all don't forget to laugh...

I really don't know sometimes about this one...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Nearly Wordless Wednesday - A Tribute To Sam

It took a while, but I finally put together something for my boy.  Some of you have already seen this on FB - thank you for your kind comments.

Editors note:  My husband kindly pointed out I had a typo...  Sam was born in October 2002.  Thank you.

Chewies and Nutro

Chewy contacted me recently wondering if we would be willing to try some of their treats and feature them on our blog.  After consulting both Monty and Harlow, we decided to try Nutro Brand Crunchy Treats!

Since Monty is so finicky on treats, we are always looking for a healthy alternative to the treats we get him.  We had had some luck in the past with Nutro Cruncy Treats (well, not the banana flavored ones), so we decided to try the Pomegranate flavored ones.

Of course, with our pups, half the fun is opening the box....

Oooo - a box with intact corners...  Must eat them off...

Move it, pup...  Dis ones mine!

Of course, packing is just as much fun to receive...

All I can say is that the treats were a smash hit with our pups!  Monty adores them and Harlow has taken to stealing the bag whenever she sees it. 

Head on over to Chewy's if you want to try your own bag!
