Presents!

Laurie and Sadie over at Sadie the Rescued Corgi picked us as their winners. They sent us an amazing care package filled with some of Sadie's favorite things.

We got the package last Monday, but it was Spring Break and I never got around to posting.

Bender really liked the paper. In the end they both found a favorite. Thank you so much Laurie and Sadie! Sorry this took us so long to post!

Paws it Forward

Bender and I received a great package from Kelly and Gibson over at Corgi Butts for Paws it Forward.

We got the box last Tuesday but it was the first day of school and I've been too busy to post until now!

"Is that for ME!? I LOVE presents!"

Bender was jazzed up as soon as he saw the box. I let him help unpack his presents. He went straight for the tissue paper and took off into the living room with it.

"Ohmigosh! PAPER! How did they know!? I love to shred paper! This is the best present EVAR!"

I had to corner him, take it away and explain that the tissue wasn't part of his present. I don't think he cared, he just wanted the paper.

"Grrr. Bark. Grrr. (tearing noises) This is AWESOME!"

We got the box unpacked and got to see all his great presents!

Bender's Loot

Bender got a Kong Wubba, a bully stick, a sausage stick, some amazing smelling pumpkin treats, and some fruitables. And I got a Corgi Butts "I Kiss My Corgi on the Lips" magnet! I LOVE it!

"The Kong is mine. Corgi's don't share!"

Bender isn't too excited about the fact that I'm making him share the treats with Bones. He's been guarding the Kong with his life as well.

Thank you so much Kelly and Gibson! We love our presents!

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!

Easter: By Bender

My mommy hasn't had time to update lately.

Last Saturday was her 25th birthday, she spent it curled up on the couch with me and Bones. She said it was perfect. Daddy made her a cake that looks like the one Hagrid makes Harry in the first Harry Potter movie. She loved it, she even shared a little piece with me and Bones! She's a real nice mommy!

This week mom had something called "parent teacher conferences". I don't know what that means, maybe mom has to teach parents too? All I know is that she gets home really late and I don't like it.

Today is something called Easter. I don't know what that means but mom said that some big bunny came and brought me and Bones presents and treats. I don't know what a bunny is but I like him if he brings me stuff!

Check out my loot! Yes MY loot. It's all mine, Bones only gets some because mommy makes me share.

Nature's Recipe Teeth & Breath Lamb Meal & Rice Treats are nommy! They don't have any beef, corn or wheat. These ones are supposed to be good for my breath which mommy says I need.

Mom says the boomerang should be good in helping me learn how to fetch. I got to play with it today and I love it, but mom took it away and said it's an outside only toy.

I got a whole bunch of new Toyshoppe toys! See how excited I am? Mom likes them because it takes me forever to destroy them. I got a squeaky giraffe and hedgehog, and two different bones one of them you can put treats in!

I am not so excited in this photo because mom told me I had to share.

Happy Easter everyone! I hope the big bunny brought you good stuff too!

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!

Begging

Today I took away Bender's rope. He had pretty much destroyed it, but since I was working on homework I didn't want to get up to throw it away.

He watched me put it on the coffee table and then spent 10 minutes begging for it until I finally threw it away. I'll admit, I'm a sucker for those beautiful brown-gold eyes and usually end up giving in to him.
