What’s gotten into him?

Gavin, my can’t-stay-awake-past-7 p.m. dog has suddenly become a night owl. It seems he is now in competition with Lucy as to who can stay up the latest.

Sigh.

It was so much easier when he slept and she got cuddles. Now they both want to be on my lap all the time.

LOL. And to top that off I think The Curmudgeon is getting jealous that they both want me.

HPIM1802Arrrr, da Mumma is mine!

HPIM3977Nope, she be mine!

Hehehe… Lucy doesn’t like to be repeated.

HPIM4149This is one of our new toys.

It repeats what you say or, in Lucy’s case, what you bark.

Lucy was not amused.

However, we were quite amused.

Can I have some peanut butter cracker?

HPIM4137I helped you make them.

HPIM4138I made sure you got to the living room with them.

HPIM4139If I look pitiful enough, will you share?

Ew, wet dog smell all day.

I swear these two dogs are so different from each other. It rained yesterday and Gavin had no problem going out even in the worst of it. However, Miss Lucy imagined she might melt her sugary self if she got the least bit wet.

The only time they are anything alike is at meal time. Both are eager eaters and will dance about and holler for their food while we fix it for them. What a hoot.

Bed time, Gavin wants in his crate, he wants the door shut, and he wants the cover down. Lucy would rather sleep on the couch wrapped up like a fuzzy, grey burrito in the soft and fuzzy blanket.

They both snore but I think the little girl snores louder. 😉

The old pup is soon another year older.

Gavin saw some old friends yesterday. He hadn’t seen them in ages. The old boy acted like a young pup. He does take a lot of joy in seeing old friends. He’s never forgotten a single person he ever met.

It’s fun to see him bounce around and wag his tail like crazy. Some days it’s hard to believe he’ll be thirteen on November first, especially when he’s playing with Lucy. After a while, he does tire out and heads for his crate, peace and quiet, and sleep.

Teefs!

HPIM4121Teefs!

HPIM4118Got pie?

HPIM4120Snores.

HPIM4118No, seriously. Can I has some apple pie too?

The bliss that is the fuzzy blanket

We haven’t turned our heat on yet and yesterday was a bit chilly. That plus the fact that little Lucy wasn’t up to par (*whispers so as not to embarrass her* “She had the runs.”) She made the use of the fuzzy blanket, a new thing for her. She likes it. She wanted back under it later too.

I bought the fuzzy throw for The Curmudgeon but he didn’t like it. Patty and Gavin took it over, so I am not surprised that Lucy loves it too.

HPIM4114Yeah, Lucy is snoring. LOUD.

She only wants him for his cookies…

Lucy is a mercenary little girl, but then aren’t all bull terriers? If her Daddy has a cookie, she will give him her undivided attention. However, as soon as he is empty-handed, she’s on my lap. 😀

If she spots her boyfriend, her crush of the century, no one else exists. She’s cute. She gets away with it.

HPIM4100Allergies are acting up a bit. Time for the Benedryl.

 

We love these pups

Lucy and Gavin are still not out together all the time, we hope they will be one day. She gets a bit maniacal with him and that’s when he goes to his crate and gives me ‘the look’. He’s so sweet and takes her energy and abuse very well.

However, she exhausts him and once he’s in his crate it doesn’t take long for him to start snoring.

What a pair. I had them out in the yard together today and it’s a good thing I kept her on a leash. I think she would have thudded into him hard enough to break him.

Once he went inside, I let her loose and she bounded about the yard like a small, white deer.

In the meantime, The Curmudgeon said Gavin went directly to his crate and barked to have the door closed. He’s a nut.

HPIM3766This is the look you get right before he barks at you to close his door.

Pictures!

HPIM4073 I’ve got my headphones on I am grooving to the music.

HPIM4072Oh Momma, lay off with the flash.

How to sleep…

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Daddy says I’m special

HPIM4046Daddy put a new bit of bling on my fancy Collar my World collar.

Can you see it?

It says ‘Special Police’ on it!

Does this mean I am a police dog now?
