Dog scouts?




On a whim (in front of a clearance rack) the other day, we bought Banjo and Watson matching fishing vests. Relatedly, we're working on stay, which is so handy for picture taking. I include the third picture purely so you can see Watson's adorable tail, and Banjo's adorable lack of tail.

New hobby


This is Watson's new hobby. He stands up against the window, pushes the curtains aside with his paws, and watches the world go by. Today is garbage day, so life is probably about as exciting as it can get :)

Recovery...


Well, Watson's been fixed. As you can see, he's not a huge fan of the cone, or of being in the pen on his own ... which is why I'm there too, and with a glass of wine!

And this is one passed out puppy...

Home again, home again

Isn't he just beautiful? I feel like this picture makes him look like a fifty pound dog, though, when he's less than half that. I think it's that patented 'Noble Hound' expression on his face. I'm sure he's as glad to be home as I am :)

Vacation!

I've been neglecting Watson's blog, but I swear we've been paying lots of attention to him! He seems to have stopped growing an inch a day ;) I put our Happy Tail up on petfinder yesterday with my favorite picture of him so far. We're off on vacation, but more adventures when we return...

Where does the time go?

Two sleepy dogs in their natural habitat...their blanket on the couch.

This is Watson trying to look very, very sincere. Also, he looks all nose, which he's really not in person.

What have we been up to...let's see. We did a test board for the boys, together, at our kennel. I wanted to be able to put them in the same room if possible so that Watson doesn't get lonely. He did fabulously! The staff loves him, and he was even an angel about grooming. Also, when he and Banjo came home I noticed they'd started sleeping on each other a lot more, so I think going to "dog camp" was a win all around.

Watson seems huge to me compared to just a few weeks ago. His fur over the shoulders is probably three times as long as it was, and his whole body shape has shifted. I'll try to get some good pictures of him outside so y'all can see his shape. Everywhere we go, people tell us how beautiful he is and ask what kind of dog he is. I've started saying, "All of them!"

Saturday morning we're off to the vet to see if he'll be ready for neutering soon, so we'll also find out how much he weighs now. I'm willing to bet it's a lot more than the last time ;)

The Fourth of July


Here's the little man in his patriotic canine t-shirt.
