Well this weekend just went to the dogs!

It was almost like a Dr. Seuss book... there were big dogs and little dogs, dopey dogs and funny, dopey dogs, dogs that are just way too smart, and those that you are forced to wonder about.

Sneak attack kisses, "Agh! My mouth was open!"

Cripes.

"Yes, I think it's dead. Butch did it."

Sunshine... big, floppy tongues hanging out... miniature killer dogs barking at a seriously big dog they couldn't reach. Maybe better was the fact he couldn't get to them! I'm fairly sure the seemingly amused Great Dane was probably thinking, "Ooo... snacks!"

"Give me water."

Little dogs racing around like greyhounds (impressively too!)

"No! Don't jump up on...!"

(Note to self, pre-treat little, muddy dog paw print

on shirt and jeans.)

Big dogs chasing sticks, then chewing them to bits so that each throw had less stick each time.

"Yuck! How can you possibly get that much spit on this in under 15 feet away!?"

Coulda' used the Chuck-it... Although it's rather a unique experience to see a dog roll his eyes at your completely inadequate throwing skills.

I got even though... as the stick got shorter, I'd fake 'em out, they'd run looking for it and I'd just toss it off the porch a ways and then tell them to "Hunt it up!" Kept them busy for a few minutes each time!

"She's by the stove, think she'll drop something?" "She's klutzy, so yeah... maybe."

Of course there was lots of hugging & loving....

"Oh man! You know that wood tick stuff works for you guys, but it's really just a mass transit system for the damn things to get on me!" (Yeah, that left me feeling 'crawly" for a couple hours...)

"What is...? OH! Give me that!"

"Hey! Harley! Oh man.... (Note to self... pre-treat large, muddy paw print on shirt.)

"Will you guys be quiet! It's just a squirrel!"

"JAX! I'm on to you blondie... STICK AROUND!"

"Oh! Poor Butchie! Did she take your bone?"

"Hi! Yeah... it's really a beautiful day! Don't mind them, they think they're Dobermans."

I have decided one thing though... Butch and Miss Sunny are no longer considered "small dogs" Their personalities are far too large. They are now just big dogs that shrunk when washed in my book!

Butch & Sunny sleep off their dog racing imitation.
