Zoe’s song…

Zoe decided to write a song after eating bag of treats…the whole thing!!!!  You have to sing the song in your head to Celine Dion’s All By Myself. Open this link in another window while you read the lyrics….Celine Dion – All by myself

Whole Bag of Treats

(sung to the tune of “All By Myself”)

When I was young
I always got into things

Mommy kept the food away

Until today
Searching the house
I find a bag of treats

They were bacon and cheese
No one’s around

Whole bag of treats
I ate a whole bag of treats

All by myself
In my crate

Mommy came down
She saw me with the bag
But it was all to late
I ate them all
Whole bag of treats
I ate a whole
Whole bag of treats
In my crate
All by myself
I’m feeling ill
My tummy hurts
I’m a pig

When I was young
I loved to steal from your plate
Stealing food was just for fun
Those days are gone

Whole bag of treats

I ate a bag
All by myself
Once again
All by myself
I ate a whole
Oh
I ate a whole

By myself, by myself
Once again
By myself
Once again
Oh
All by myself
I ate a whole bag of treats
I never, never, never
will get caught again.

The bag in question is Buddy Biscuits Bacon and Cheese Madness…

Finally, a good grooming job!!!

Today, we went to get groomed professionally for the second time.  Mommy had fallen behind in keeping us trimmed and she seems to be baffled by the trimmer, so it was really time for us to get a professional groom.  We went to Groomin and Roomin in Middlefield, CT on the referral of a friend of daddy’s.  Since they have Springers (both field and bench) on their website, we figured they’d know what they were doing.  It was even better that they were able to work around some of mommy’s horrible attempts to clip around our butt area and even things out.

The best thing about the grooming place is that it is also a boarding kennel and has a play area and a POOL. Yes, you heard me right, a POOL.  We are thrilled because we can go for a swim for $15.00 for the both of us and we have it all to ourselves.  It’s salt water, not chlorinated water, so its safe for us too!  There are stairs to go in and out.  Mommy and Daddy swears they will take us soon.  Did I mention that it’s covered by a greenhouse so we can go all year long (as long as its not totally freezing out).  Yipeeeeeeee!!!!

Window watching and catching a snooze..

This is very typical…..Maddy, alert and oriented, Zoe, knocked out.

Maddy saves Zoe from the Blanket!!

Maddy helps her sister from mommy’s vicious attack blanket!

Zoe is like a bird….Maddy fights to save herself!!

You put a blanket over her, and she just lies down and goes to sleep…Maddy’s video is the second video…she’s not quite as complacent.

Maddy and Zoe go swimming…

In our little kiddie pool in the backyard. I’m gonna take them to swim for realsies, I promish!

Splishin and Splashin'

Fun!

Maddy finally climbs the ramp!!!

Ok, so I couldn’t get a picture of her going up the ramp, but I do have a picture of her laying down (on command, good girl) when I finally got her up there.

Maddy is the Queen!
