What to do with a lazy dog

So, Dakota is only 7 but he has been getting a bit lazy. His sister, our great chocolate lab Brittany has been gone for 2 years now from cancer. We think that it may be time for Dakota as well as his mommies to get another dog. We'll be adopting a younger female dog from a local dog rescue group. We are still looking for our new family member and can't wait to buy her a dog bed, dog collar and dog toys. Check back for updates......maybe there will be another star for this blog before long. Till later......thanks for following.....

Vacation

Well, It's that time of the year again when the family gets to go on a vacation but the faithful dog has to stay home. Fortunately for my lucky and spoiled dog Dakota, his favorite Uncle "Matt" will be taking care of him here at the house. Dakota will still be able to be a bed hog, only he'll be sleeping on a different bed. Now, if Uncle Matt can figure out how Dakota's collar and leash work there is great hope for Dakota to get to go for walks...lol. The cat "Shooter" will probably meow way too much looking for attention and drive Uncle Matt crazy. I feel sorry for him and will make sure to bring him home a souvenir from our vacation. Well, off to finish packing....till later....

Dakota's 2nd christmas

Well, Christmas came again for Dakota this year. His Grandma Nancy gave him a Christmas stocking yesterday. There were dog treats, dog toys, rawhide bones and an awesome new collar. We just set it down and let him pull things out and choose what he wanted first. Of course he went for the stuffed toy first....he just loves to run around the house and flip it in the air and wait for us to chase him. Just hanging out for New Years Eve. Talk to you all next year and a Happy New Year to all....till later....

Christmas Challenges

I have learned over the years not to sit on the floor to wrap Christmas presents. My dog Dakota and my cat Shooter think that it is an invitation to "help" me. Shooter loves to walk on the paper and Dakota feels the need to lay on and over presents and paper. It seems that I spend more time petting and loving on them than wrapping. I think that they have gotten together and formed a plan to get extra attention. Dakota found one of the dog toys and his new dog collar as I was wrapping them. That was a site...he thought I was pretty stupid wrapping it up and not giving it to him right then. I'm off to give Dakota a bath so he will have a nice and shiny soft coat. Till later....
