Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all Corgi and other doggie moms out there in Blog land. Hope you have a wonderful day!

A Little Sunshine

This afternoon, shortly after I got home from work, I had to run back out to my car. I left the dogs at the door with a firm "stay" and walked out. Not five steps out the door I heard the distinctive click of nails on cement. I turned around and there was Bender. He managed to sneak out the door before it clicked shut.

He doesn't get to sit in the front yard often because it's not fully fenced in. I had C grab me his leash and I tied him to the fence. He seemed to enjoy lying in the dandelions.

Saturday Smiler

I know this is Bender's blog, but Bones' face in this picture just makes my heart melt. So glad we gave him a home.

Playtime

Yesterday was another beautiful day. I came home from school to find all the boys (C, Bender, and Bones) out in the yard. After I swapped my work clothes for some shorts I went outside to join them.

I decided to snap a few shots of C and the dogs as they played in the yard.

I think we're all ready for summer!

Herding?

Bender isn't one to play fetch or chase toys. He'll tug on a rope if you hold it, but that's about it.

We were at Target the other day and they had a power outage. Odd, but nothing that bothered us. We went about our shopping when the lights came on and got into line to check out. Since the registers had to re-boot, customer service came around and handed out "Sorry for the inconvenience here's $3 off" coupons. We used this coupon to buy Bender a really large ball.

We gave Bender the ball when we got home that night, but it was really windy and all it did was scare him. Today we gave it another try, and he loved it! I've never seen him go after a toy so enthusiastically. He chased it all around the yard, barked at it, got it stuck under the deck multiple times, and pushed it against the fence so hard he got a hole in it. We patched it up with duct tape, not sure how long it'll hold. I see many more of these giant balls in our future this summer.

Thanks mom and dad!

Bones

I know this is Bender's blog, but I thought I should introduce Bones, his younger brother.

Bones' rescue story. Last October I was in my car going to return a movie. I got to the intersection at the end of our street and saw a dog and cat sitting in the middle of the intersection. I stopped the car and opened the door to check on them. The cat ran away but the puppy ran right over to me and hopped in the car. I drove back down the street to our house and got C. We got the puppy into the back yard and decided we would bring him in the house and feed him since he looked starved. This did not sit well with Bender. It took him 3-4 days to warm up to this new puppy while we searched for his owners. As I mentioned, the puppy was pretty starved and had a bad case of fleas. After a month we couldn't find any owner, so we decided since Bender had warmed up to him and he really was a sweet puppy that we would include him in our family. We named him Bones because he was so skinny and for "Bones" McCoy on Star Trek.

After 4 months he is healthy and happy. He's a goofy puppy, but I'm glad we added him to the family.
