Getting Stuck

Hi everypup, kitty, & GG, Eva here with some scary news. Last night I was just relaxing on dad's side of the bed like I normally do. I usually like to sleep with my head under the bed. Well, I started to stretch out and wiggle my way under the bed a little more. Momma called Tasha and I to go for our last time outside of the night before bed and all she heard was my nails scratching on the floor. I WAS STUCK UNDER THE BED! Momma had to wake up dad to lift up the bed so I could get out. Kinda embarrassing. I was just stretching out and the bed tried to eat me!! Nasty bed. Oh. well, I guess I'll have to be a little more careful.

Other than that not much going on around here. Tasha and I did help dad mulch some more leaves today. Here's a video of Tasha and I having a little wrestling match in dad's leaf pile.

We just love helping dad do the fall clean up! Belly Rubs, Eva.

It's Fall!

Hello everypup, kitty, and GG, Tasha here today. Eva and I are such happy pups today! The temperatures have been down to around 50 degrees here for the last week or so. Fall is definitely here. The picture below was taken just a little over a week ago.
Here are those same trees today. The leaves were very pretty, but now they are all gone!
Dad is doing his fall duties of cleaning up after all of our trees. Look at the wonderful pile of leaves that he made for us today in the back yard!
I just love to dive into a pile of leaves! It isn't as good as a big pile of snow, but for now it will do. Here's a picture of my dopey little sister as she takes a break from running through the leaves.

Here's me checking out all of the wonderful smells that go along with a pile of leaves. There is hints of squirrel, bunny, and all kinds of good stuff in here!


Hey, Eva, how much poop do you think we hid in this pile?!?!?

I don't know what got into us, but yes, we did sit still long enough to have our picture taken. Dad was totally amazed. Always got to keep the humans confused!

Here are a couple of videos of us playing in the leaves. This first one is of Eva with her ball. As some of you probably know, Eva only plays with one ball. She had this one tennis ball that she had ripped off the covering and that was the only one she would play with. That's right, she had de-furred it! Click here to see our post about here bald ball. She has finally picked out a ball with the fur still on it. It took a lot of encouragement from dad, but she now plays with a normal tennis ball. Me on the other hand will play with a stick, small tennis balls, big tennis ball, basket ball, nubby ball, and a puppy frisbee. Just play with me already!! Anyway, here's Eva's video.

Can you tell that I love leaf piles? Eva and I help dad mulch the leaves. We're always here to help!! Hope all of are friends are having as good a weekend as we are! Belly Rubs, Tasha & Eva.

Few Words Friday

Could we have some privacy please?
This might not be appropriate for all ages! This is another picture that one of dad's friends found on the internet. We thought since it had a puppy AND a kitty it would be perfect for a Few Words Friday! Aren't they cute? Hope everypup, kitty and GG have a super weekend! Belly Rubs, Tasha & Eva.

This n' That

Hey, pups, kitties, & GG, Eva here today. Its been awfully boring around here lately. Mom & dad are both working longer than normal hours again so not much time for them to get us online to check on all our friends. So here is what I've been doing a lot of lately.

How do you like my fort?
South end of a dog facing north.
I really like to get under the blanket when mom is relaxing on the couch. The only draw back is that sometimes she forgets that I'm there and I get stepped on! The humans should always know that they should look for reclined puppies before they get up. Seems like they never learn.
Even though it is fall here in Minnesota, some of the flowers in front of our house are still blooming. This is one of the dahlia plants that got planted a little late in the season.
Pretty Pink Flowers!
Here's one more of a deformed dahlia that has a really bent and curved stem from trying to get to the sunlight.
Nice red & white flower.
With the coming of fall here, dad is going to have a LOT of big bags to fill with the leaves from the trees in our yard. There still are a lot of leaves to fall yet, but here is a video of me looking for my ball. I needed Dave from the AO4 (since he is the Guide Dog for the Color Blind) to help me find it . My ball is a greenish-yellow and so are a lot of the leaves.


We can't wait until dad makes the piles of leaves! We think we heard that he was going to do that this weekend. It is so fun to dive into the leaf piles to find a ball or just wrestle with Tasha! Tasha really likes to make herself a bed in the leaf pile. Then all kinds of leaves stick to her fur! Sometimes she can sneak quite a bit of the outdoors indoors! We'll definitely have to post some pictures of us helping dad do fall clean-up! Belly Rubs, Eva,

Dog Parks and a Bird with Rhythm

Hey pups, GG and darling Pippa,
We love our trips to the dog parks. Dog parks are not for everypup but if you like them, Momma found a new website that lists dogs parks by state (primarily US but some in Canada, Belgium and Australia).

Momma found this video on another site and found it amusing. Bad choice in music but the bird can dance!

We have new videos to post but blogger is acting up again. maybe tomorrow.

Belly Rubs,
Tasha & Eva

Love to Paint!

Hey everypup, kitty, and GG, Eva here. I have discovered that I just LOVE TO PAINT! As you can see by these pictures, I really get into my work. I think this particular shade goes especially well with my coat, don't you think?

Just a little on the ruff is a nice touch.
But a lot on the Butt is fantastic!
Its a bird, its a plane, no, its PRIMER PUPPY!!
I think that is what my super her0 name is now. Mom says its a good thing the paint is a latex base, whatever that means. She says that means that it is fairly easy to clean up. Even if its in puppy fur. I had to have a semi-bath. I didn't have to get into the torture chamber like in this post, but I did have to get wiped down with a wet towel. I wouldn't let them brush me though!
All this helping is extremely tiring. I better go have a nap. Hope everyone had a great weekend! Belly Rubs, Eva.

Few Words Friday

Don't worry, dad, we're here to "Help"!

Hello everypup, kitty, and Girl Girl, Tasha here. The projects never stop around here. Here Eva and I are getting ready to help dad again. Look, its Zimmy from the AO4's friend Adrill! That funny looking thing in front of Adrill is a wall mount for a flat screen TV. Dad needed our help to put that on the wall down in our game room. Thanks to our supervision, the mount was on the wall and dad got to watch his favorite team, the Minnesota Vikings in high definition! We must have done a really good job cuz for the first time in a long time the Vikings won! Our friend Tadpole might be mad cuz they beat his beloved Bears. Hope no hard feelings, Tad! Have a great weekend, everyone! Belly Rubs, Tasha.
