Took a couple videos of my dogs this week. In the first one, you can see how Annie likes to enjoy the wind. She was standing up, facing the wind, letting it blow her ears back...but as soon as I got the camera ready, she laid down. lol She stayed out there for hours. :)
The second video is how excited my dogs get when you mention a walk. They love going on walks (mostly because they love trying to eat our neighbors *sigh*).
Since my dogs were so excited by all the kids knocking on our door tonight, we decided to give them some treats too. They got bone marrow (they love it!). For some reason, they both just started sneezing like crazy until they got a treat...it was their trick! hehe So, we recorded it. They didn't sneeze as much in the videos, but still major cuteness was to be found! :D
...I'm gorgeous. Just look at my long, lovely mane. You wish you had a mane like me. :)
Yesterday was a beautiful day and Annie and Angel wanted to stay outside all day. Angel always goes out the front door, because the stairs are much less steep (Angel has really bad knees and joints). Annie always goes out the back door and lays in the grass. She just loves it. The longer the grass the better...which is silly because she gets really bad allergies and the longer the grass, the worse the allergies. But, oh well. :)
I couldn't get them to come in at all, so I went out and took some pictures of them hanging out in the breeze. Got a few really good shots.
For the past week or so, I've been hearing jackhammers in my neighborhood, but I didn't go investigate. Today, they were going again, but much closer, so I checked. Turns out, the community I live in is replacing all the driveways (they did the garages last year). It's funny, they aren't really that good at informing us of these things. They usually show up the day before and say, yeah, were gonna completely take over your driveway and lawn for a few days...starting tomorrow.
*sigh* My dogs are ok with the jackhammers, but when they start dumping the concrete into the dump truck...that's when they get nervous. :)
I took a bunch of videos today with my phone. They aren't the best videos, but you get the idea. :)
Thursday Thunk
Welcome to the Thursday Thunks! Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!
This week we will think about:
Pick somebody and tell us about them.
I think I'd like to talk about my neighbor cat. LOL
My neighbor cat is a black and white short hair. Not sure what it's name is, or if it's a he or a she. I'm guessing a she, because it's pretty clever and girls are more clever. *SNAP!* Oh, just kidding guys!
Ok, so this kitty, we will name her Cami, since she has a cameo-like coat. Cami is a house cat. I have never seen Cami outside of the house. But, she's got a window she loves to sit in....the window directly across from my front door (which is actually a side door). My driveway separates our houses. So, Cami has broken a little hole into the blinds on that window, so she can crawl through and sit on the window sill and watch the world. Now, the hole in the mini blinds is clever, yes...but that's not the most clever thing. See, she knows my dogs hang out in our yard, between my door and Cami's house...but they can't reach the window. So, she just sits there and stares at them and makes them bark and bark and bark. Cami seems to enjoy this. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I think Cami is playing with my dogs. Sometimes my dogs will just bark at the empty window and when I look over there, the blinds will move ever so slightly. Then, after a while, Cami will hop into the window and sit proudly while my dogs bark some more. And then, Cami will leave the window and my dogs will get a good stern talking too. ;)
But, it always happens again. :) What I think is hilarious is that my dogs act tough, but they would run their furry little butts down that road, in the other direction, if that cat ever came outside. They are SUCH whimps!
I remember when they were puppies and the people who lived across the street at the time had a large black lab named Shadow. Shadow was very friendly and he liked to just wander over and say hello. He jumped in my car a few times, wanting to go to work with me. LOL Well, that first day my pups were outside and Shadow was too. Oh my. Shadow came bounding across the road...tail wagging and I tell you...I have never heard dogs scream. I mean SCREAM. It wasn't a bark or a whine, it was a terrified scream. Annie ended up underneath a bush against the house, where I had the hardest time getting ahold of her. Angel was under the car, dead center. I had to crawl under to get her. Poor Shadow. He just wanted to make a friend. Over the years, Shadow and Angel got more friendly, but Annie is terrified of everything and everyone. That's just my Annie. ;)
So, I guess my story is about more than just Cami the Cat...lol, but that's ok. :D
I should add though, that even though I called my dogs whimps...that is when it comes to meeting new people or animals. If it comes down to someone trying to touch ME...they are on full "terminator" mode. Vicious!!! Don't mess with their momma. ;)
My dogs get very excited when we come home from being away. My mom was getting home from work today and I recorded it. Annie has separation anxiety, so she goes kinda crazy (she was actually pretty tame today, compared to other days!), but Angel is a lot calmer. She just wiggles her butt and waits for the love. :)
Here are the girls, waiting rather impatiently, looking out the door and down the street. :) Annie likes to stand on the couch for a good vantage point. ;) Angel likes to sit at the door and watch.
