New collar for Bodhi

2009-03-22T12:27:00.000-07:00

Hello fellow bloggers! I just wanted to show off my new collar! I liked my "masculine" spike collar but i guess it was causing to much damage to my owners and fellow canine friends when i get to rowdy. So this new safer one will have to do i suppose! I did get a new toy however so all is good in my world at the moment!!

Sammy rejoices

2009-02-27T21:03:00.000-08:00

He got his brother of his case yet again!!!!

Bodhi's retreat

2009-02-27T20:57:00.000-08:00

After being defeated by his brother yet again,Bodhi retreated to his couch to reflect on the situation........However in most cases his reflecting does not last long before his eyes get heavy and he caves in to the overwhelming desire to sleep!!!

Then the evening got a little heated

2009-02-27T20:49:00.000-08:00

It all started with a kiss

Then Sam had to make it clear that he was not in the mood for his little brother

Then Bodhi gave Sam the ultimate throw down!

But as always Bodhi felt bad and starting begging for forgivness

The evening started out calm

2009-02-27T20:41:00.000-08:00

Sammy just couldn't take his eyes off of Bodhi's dinosour:

Bodhi is called mountain man for this exact reason, he turns anything into a mountain he can sleep on!

Nothing but trouble

For some reason our mother seems irritated with both of us. Doesn't she realize it's just who we are and how we get attention????
First of all she trained me to ring the bell when i need to go potty right??? Well it's like she has figured out that sometimes i ring, and ring and ring the bell even though i don't need to go potty i just want to go lick the bbq!!!! Is that so bad????Now why isn't anyone coming to open the door???????

As for me i am a beagle and my nose "yet again" led me straight under the deck where i ALWAYS get stuck and eventually have to start barking non-stop for someone to come get me out!! Mom says i got myself under there i can get myself out!!!
So Mommy payed me back by torturing me and making me look like a fool!!!!!Ughhh!!!!!

Sorry we have been slacking!!

2009-02-11T15:56:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to say hello to everyone! Hope all is well for all!! Mommy has been super busy at work and doing stuff at home, she promises to get our blog back up to date soon! So for now HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!!!

SAMPSON'S WEEKEND

Yes, it is true the sun came out and it was GLORIOUS!!!!!! It felt so good on my fur,it lifted my spirits,my hips didn't hurt,i went on an adventure,what more could a beagle ask for?

I was onto something, i truly was!!! Where is it?????

And there it went! A squirrel!!!!! And mom though i was just smelling duck poo! I showed her!!!!!!

BODHI'S WEEKEND
Can you believe my mother actually thought i would get my feet wet??????? The sun may have been out but the water is soooooo cold!!!!!!

After i returned home i passed out on the back deck and proceeded with my sun worshiping ritual.

Then i started to dream.....................The sun has brought so many fun-filled days, i was especially reminiscing over my play date with my sister Nala and our first hug!!! A note for her: The sun will return Nala and we will play together again soon!!!!! Hugs and kisses!!!!

Our scaly siblings were let out of the cages today!

2009-01-17T12:30:00.000-08:00

Okay, so we are both really loving canines and adore just about everything even cats. But our mother sometimes lets the iguanas out, Jade and Floydine,our brother and sister she says, we personally see no resemblance whatsoever!!! And quite frankly they make our skin crawl!!!!!!!!!! So we thought we would introduce everyone to them since they got the cameras attention for a day instead of us! :( We apologize if you have nightmares! Bol!!

The day our Mother went crazy

2009-01-12T19:46:00.000-08:00

So if you recall we were promised a lazy weekend and such, right? Well Sunday our Mother hopped out bed, starting throwing the furniture out of the bedroom and putting plastic everywhere! She was running here and there, then she starting scraping the cottage cheese off the ceiling(p.s. by the tastes of it, it wasn't cheese!) Boy was that a HUGE mess! Then after that disaster she put some other sand looking stuff back up on the ceiling,very strange, don't know what texture means but whatever! Then after that, she starting painting the walls a green color (much better than the previous puke orange we must say). She moved all of the furniture around,including our beds and just being erratic!! So that blew our relaxing Sunday out of the water. But as you can see, to pay her back Bodhi snuck in the bedroom and tested the walls to see if they were still wet. OH MY you should of heard the shouting after Mom walked back in and saw her paint job was ruined!! Then she starting laughing hysterically, sent him to his chair and started taking pictures!! She says the new room should have a calming effect on all of us, we sure hope so because she was making us dizzy!!!!!

No more high waters!

2009-01-10T12:05:00.000-08:00

The water has finally receded. Our paws didn't even get wet! Mom's work wasn't as lucky, water,water and more water ruined everything! We are upset that she still has to go to work in the condition that it in, when she could be hanging out with us at home!! Our Grandma is drying out too! Slowly but surely things seem to be turning around for the better, we hope! It isn't a torrential down pour today or tomorrow by what the weatherman said so Mom promised lots of walks and outdoor time,followed by some quality lazy weekend time as well! Woo!Hoo!!! So, Me the Beagle i am will beg to play fetch ALL DAY! And i the RIDGEBACK will guard my dinosaur ALL DAY!!!

Happy New Year and now we are flooding!

2009-01-07T15:32:00.000-08:00

Well winter has just begun and now that all 4 feet of the snow has melted we are surrounded by to raging rivers (use to be little trickling streams) and a lake in the back yard(used to be a little tiny pond that we never got to see). It won't stop raining, it is pure torture when mom drags us outside to use the restroom!! It's nice that it isn't so cold but man we smell like wet dogs all the time!!!! WE just want some sun!!!!! We are both sleeping like there is no tomorrow, hoping when we open our eyes there will be a break in the weather, needless to say we are still waiting!! We overheard mommy talking to neighbors about sand bags!!! We thought it was supposed to be Happy New Year, not Happy New Year "hope you don't drown!"
Grandma called us i guess her bedroom is under water and she lives over the mountains, guess we are not the only ones living with this stuff!! We hope everyone survives this storm!!!

As you can see the lake in the distance is not that far away anymore!

Merry Christmas!!

2008-12-26T10:02:00.000-08:00

So, the family stayed at home this holiday season due to weather and scheduling conflicts.But we made the best of it!!! Bodhi got a package from his sister Nala, we had alot of fun with that, just a few fights but we got over it.
For Christmas Eve Mommy and Daddy took us for a night walk,with no flashlights,we were a little nervous, but the christmas lights on all of the houses help guide the way! Then we came home and assisted Mom in the kitchen (at least thats what we thought we were doing) she made finger food and one of their favorite desserts, which we can't sample due to chocolate!!!:( The best part was snuggling up on the couch and watching christmas movies until we all fell asleep!
Christmas morning was the best (for us dogs anyway).After watching Mom and Dad shovel snow and digging their cars out we put our new coats on and went for winter wonderland journey!! Not to mention the scent of turkey in the air all day!!! We got our stockings which contained greenies yum,yum! After doin some chores we all piled into dad's big truck and took a drive to see all of the snow that fell! To top the day off we were given many pieces of turkey at dinner which put us all into a deep coma. The end!

We survived the storm

2008-12-21T14:22:00.000-08:00

Whew!! The winds were not as bad as predicted,THANK GOD!! WE did get a couple inches, but it sure looks like alot more with the snow drifts. Mom and dad ventured out in the truck,they came back with new coats for us!!!! NOt to mention some greenies and a couple new toys! They said due to the severe weather conditions we got our christmas gifts early. So we went for a winter wonderland adventure!! Sam had some trouble getting through the snow, so mommy carried him until we got the plowed part of the road! The wind was pretty brutal, but the coats came in handy! When we got back, mommy gave us some warm chicken broth and then it was time to cuddle up the blankets and watch the football game!

Wind storm heading our way!

2008-12-20T13:35:00.000-08:00

There is a blizzard warning issued for our area,it is supposed to have sustained wind gusts up to 90miles and hour!!! Our area,the lovely foothills, will get only 2 inches of snow but the worst of the wind.
Let me say that 2 years ago before Bodhi came into the household we had a similar storm,we were without power for 7 days!!!!! No generator,just a fireplace and let me add to picture our iguanas!!! I truly(this is Sam speaking here by the way) DO NOT want to endure that EVER AGAIN!!! I had no coat,sweater,boots,nothing,i wedged myself so tight under the covers next to my humans they literally had to drag me outdoors to use the men's room. All of neighbors are packing up and heading somewhere safe. But are we????? Oh, no the humans are hoping for the best,they borrowed a generator this time,but i would much rather be somewhere else!!!!
