Poor Poor Mr. Q

Qwilly had a dental cleaning today. While he was under they removed a tiny skin tag that was on his upper lip under his nose. It wasn't growing, and wasn't bothering him, but it bothered me.

Poor Q. I don't know what is so different about this time versus his dental a year ago, but he is is out of it.


The lights are on...
Photobucket

but no one is home.
Photobucket

He's down for the count...again.
Photobucket

In fact, all he's done since i brought him home is follow me around like the lost little dude he is, and lick his catheter site
Photobucket

Poor guy. He's so pathetic.
Photobucket

He needs some snuggles.
Photobucket

Before we head to bed, Qwill wants to make sure you know that we've added 7 Spring collars to our etsy shop. You can view them all in the slideshow that plays on our site, but here are a few of our faves.

Silly Shiner

I just love group shots of my boys. :)
Photobucket

especially ones that put them in odd situations. Qwill and Trophy jumped on the table with no problems. Shiner, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with it.
Photobucket

altho, he wasn't as angry about it as he was in this picture:
Photobucket

but the real fun always comes at the release.
OK!!
Photobucket

Trophy and Qwill know what's goin' on!
Photobucket

Whee!!
Photobucket

uh... Shiner? you coming?
Photobucket

Not no how not no way am i jumpin' off dis ting. SAVE ME!!!!

The Anatomy of a Broken Butt Play Fight

The boys are really enjoying the spring weather. Let's join them in their favorite game: kill the puppy*.

Trophy, stupid pup that he is can be, starts the game by locking onto his target and pouncing at a million miles an hour.
Photobucket

Unfortunatly he tends to overshoot his intended target. Instead of using his superior speed to gain the upper hand by circling back around his foe and trying again, the dunderhead tries to run while facing backwards.
Photobucket

Two things to note in this pic, 1. they're still traveling at a million miles an hour (evidenced by the blurry ground) 2. Trophy is completely perpendicular to his direction of movement. Frankly I don't know how he didn't/doesn't crash and burn.
Photobucket

Obviously this gives Qwill the opportunity to catch up and take him down.
Photobucket

He managed to get free, but that's when backup comes in. Qwill and Shiner are always on the same team when it comes to battling Monster.
Photobucket

Then they faceoff like stallions at war.
Photobucket

Trophy doesn't stand a chance. Once they have him down, Qwill will pin him while Shiner goes for the thigh. Apparently he likes dark meat.
Photobucket

Then, when he start squealing like a little girl I have to call off the troops.
Photobucket

Except then Trophy gets all macho, because he thinks he scared the big boys off with his gigantic muscles.
Photobucket

But they don't let it get to his head.
Photobucket

One last crack at telling Qwill who's really boss...
Photobucket

Then they decided to get a drink. Which always gives Shiner the ZOMGZOOMIES
Photobucket

Photobucket

OH The neighbor's dog came to say hi! (Trophy didn't like the competition for cutest lab, and tried to kill poor Taz with his tieout rope.)
Photobucket

MORE ZOOMIES!
Photobucket

WHAT MAWM HAS TREATS???
Photobucket

ZOMG GUYS! TREEEEEEAATSSS!
Photobucket

HAI mawm! Hai! I can has cookie now plz?!
Photobucket


Ooo! me too plz?
Photobucket

What are we talkin' 'bout?
Photobucket

More tomorrow!
Photobucket


*No Trophys (Trophies?)are ever severely harmed in the kill the puppy game.

blogger overhaul

ok, i still have some background tweeking to do, but it's looking good right now. If anyone knows how to add space between the sidebar(s) and the entries PLEASE let me know! :)

Welcome to my studio!

My bedroom is a multi-purpose area. It's my computer room, tv room, dog sleep space, my sleep space, sitting room, storage area, and lately my "studio".

So come on in.
Photobucket

If you remember from previous posts, I used to have the dog kennels in my room. Well, since Koda has moved in with my sister and her apartment I decided it would be a good time to relocate the kennels down stairs. To make room in our living room, one part of the sectional couch was moved upstairs. It is a wonderful place to sit and watch tv, check my e-mail or make collars (or all at the same time). It's also a good place for the dogs to sleep, as Shiner's demonstrating.
Photobucket

Here we are in "workshop" mode.
Photobucket

Altho, it doesn't look like Shiner's going to let me get any work done today.
I'm too cute to move!
Photobucket

Trophy says he's still handsome as evar!
Photobucket

And Qwill, who didn't want to be left out, but is still miffed that i yelled at him for jumping on me and knocking down a load of laundry. silly boy.
Photobucket

IN SUPER EXCITING NEWS: Shiner has a recall! It's not 100% reliable, as our walk around the pond yesterday demonstrated (the call of goose poop and deer turds were far greater than my yumalicious treats). *sigh* BUT, It's a huge improvement over last fall when he would run in terror in the opposite direction despite handfulls of treats.

~COLLAR GIVEAWAY!~
And lastly, if you missed the buy one get one free sale, fear not there will be more in teh future! IN THE MEAN TIME: If you have a blog and would like to help me advertise I will be happy to provide one FREE collar for you to review. I do have some stipulations, and a limited number to give away, but If you're interested, please post a reply and I'd be happy talk with you more about it.
