Sibling Rivalry

Pretty much a normal day for these two. They can be extremely entertaining. They were actually being quite mellow here.

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?

I liked this one because it included a Chinese Crested! Believe me, Ellie can definitely jump and spin (see trick post below)!


Afghan: Light bulb? What light bulb?
Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out light bulb?
Border Collie: Just one. And he'll rewire the house while he's at it.
Italian Greyhound: I can't reach the stupid lamp!
Poodle: Sorry, just had my nails done.
Lab: Oh, me, me!!! Pleeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I?.
Springer: Light bulb? Light bulb? That thing I just ate was a light bulb?
Collie: No, don't change it. If it's dark, maybe no one will see me sleeping on the couch.
Chinese Crested: I can put it in, I can jump and spin !!!!
Rottweiler: Make me!
Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
Malamute: Let the Border Collie do it. You can feed me while he's busy.
Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls.
Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
Mastiff: Screw it yourself! I'm not afraid of the dark...
Doberman: While it's out, I'll just take a nap on the couch.
Boxer: Who needs light? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there!
Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb?
Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...
Basset Hound: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Westie: Dogs do not change light bulbs -- people change light bulbs. I am not one of THEM so the question is, how long before I can expect my light again?

Ellie's new cousin

Today I went with Lindsay to pick up her new Labrador Retriever, Cash, from the airport. He is so cute! He is very friendly, cuddly, sweet, and pretty much every other word to describe a really good lab. I'm excited to bring Ellie around him so they can play together!

Trick or Treat?

Ellie has successfully mastered the following tricks: sit, down, high-five, the twist, and speak. We are working on stay... which is very had to do when Ozzy, the cat, cruises by. Go ahead and make fun of how I talk to her all you want, because I know you talk to your dog that way too. ;)

Coming soon

So we're seriously considering agility lessons starting sometime this Spring. Stay tuned to see how Ellie, the Chinese Crested, does!
