Sunday morning at River's

The sun is out at last and it looks like we will have a sunny week!

We are still swamped with the puppies but we have a big yard for everyone to run in. Dot is feeling much better after her heartworm treatment and has fun shredding some bedding. My mom has been off to a science fiction convention where she got to talk about writing. Her life is exciting, ours not so much but we like it that way!

I received an award from Cookie and Cinnamon! Thank you for a very pretty one.

The rules of the “One Lovely Blog Award” are:

Accept the award
Post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.
Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered.
Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

My mom apologizes. She is exhausted from all the partying (snort). She loves and appreciates all the DWB bloggers and awards this award to all of them rather than choosing 15 (she admits it would take hours to do the web links and stuff but it does not mean she doesn't appreciate everyone!)

I hope you all have a good week!

Digging a nice fall day

Enjoying the sun.
Digging with Sweetie.

Digging with puppies running around.

Watching puppies run around.

More watching.

My mom and I love watching them play--mostly because it means they will sleep for hours afterwards!! BOL

Are you all digging your fall days too?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

This is what we've been doing...

Sleeping...

Sweetie woke up, disturbed by the flashie beast. Stop, Mom, so we can go back to sleep!

Zzzzzzzzzz.....

Chillin' with a new friend

It's sunny here in north Georgia. We love it. This is a coonhound named Dot who came to visit for a little while. She was rescued long distance by a group in San Diego but needed a place to stay while she heals from heartworm treatment until she can go all the way out to California. You can see me getting to know her in this picture.

She was found at a trash dump, very skinny. Many people worked to save her because she is young, timid and very, very sweet. Someone will have a terrific dog in her!

We're giving each other 'the eye' as we pass each other.

Now she's giving my mom THE EYE bol.

Here is Dot claiming the couch. She says she didn't knock the lamp over. She's right--Davoo did it!

Here we are all sharing the couch. Mousse in back, Sweetie next to me and then Dot.

Rain Goes away at last!

From the last blog to this one we have been rained on. Our whole valley is now a disaster area! We live on a little hill so we missed the raging creeks. And we got a new roof not long ago so we stayed dry--bol mostly because we refused to go out in the rain!! We're not ducks or labradogs. We hate getting our feet wet.


It was still raining yesterday when my mom transported this old brittany guy. He went from Georgia to Ontario. He wouldn't look at the camera. He must have had that training from the Army of Four.


It's sunny today and cool at last. I'm snorting around the yard, looking into all the holes that Sweetie was digging. Sweetie is the mama chihuahua. We both like to lie in my mom's lap. She is a nice dog, very quiet but seems to like to dig. I didn't find anything worth eating in all those holes.

Sniff, sniff, snort, snort. That's Sweetie next to me.

It's so nice to be out in the yard again.

Puppy Overload

Hi! We are drowning in puppies. People need to stop throwing them away! Just stop it! I don't like to play with them but they deserve to live and have a good and loving home.

It was a beautiful day at our house today and we were all out in the yard socializing the puppies. We got 3 more that were dumped on a local golf course. Luckily one of the neighbors to the course took them in and called the rescue. All our puppies are fixed and will be leaving soon. They are the very lucky ones.

Chocolate Mousse (he is a chocolate beagle) is very good with them. He likes to put his paw on them.

Here is one of the golf course babies. Her eyes are kinda spooky, like african bushbabies--all 3 puppies have those eyes. Nobody can figure out what kind of mix they are but they won't be very big dogs. They are also very shy.

Ah, a peaceful day in the sun.

Yeah, right. Look what's really going on behind my back! Sigh. My mom will miss them when they go but I'm ready for a puppy break!

A loss, a Tag and an award

Our friend, Buddy, passed this week. We will miss him a lot. Please stop by and give his mom and his sister Lily some hugs.

Kess picked us to show a photo.

This game has the following rules:
1) open the folder that has your pet pics in it
2) choose one you haven't posted before
3) tell its story
4) tag 5 friends (most of our friends have done this already!)

My mom has never posted this picture before. This shows you how she feeds us. She throws it out on the ground like we are CHICKENS! It's humiliating. But, being beagles who live for food--we don't refuse and we actually enjoy the hunt. No, she doesn't really feed us that way. Eh, she made me type that.

My mom also wants me to apologize to my chihuahua friends for calling the puppies biteyface rats. Well, I am sorry to have offended but I would call ANY puppy a biteyface rat so I am not being breedist. My mom really likes these little beasts (who might be going to new homes as soon as next week).

I got this award from Daisy the pink pitbull.-- created by her artsy friend The Purple Hatter. Thanks, Daisy! I grumble a lot about all these rescues but I'm really okay with it. Esp. since I was once one.

Meet my new cousin, SHILOH. She will be living with my mom's brother and his white German shepherd, Cesar. She's only 6 weeks old.

We had a quiet weekend. My mom almost helped transport a brittany boy but it was cancelled--he will go again another time. Instead she stayed home with us and played and worked on the Flying Monkeys. She really needs to think up a better title for that novel...

I hope you all have a good week!

Waterbowl tales

It is a beautiful day in our neighborhood. Clear sky, low humidity. It makes my mom so happy she is out dancing on the lawn with all the crazy creatures.

She traveled to the big city and came back with SEVEN doggies. Six are babies--she thinks chihuahua/terrier--and one is the mama. They are very skinny. The people who rescued them could not afford to feed them so the black lab rescue took them.

They are old enough to be fixed (and have been) but my mom's hand is bigger than 2 of their heads!!

I'm not pleased with this bunch. They are like six little biteyface rats. I still have Maisy and Bella for another week and with this nice weather I'm out running with them.

Here they are drinking water. I mean, big deal. They will be going to Kim's Foster Dogs up north pretty soon.

Meanwhile, I'm staying outside in the sun with my girls.

It's nice to be good

We have a new camera! My mom got a Nikon coolpix on sale at Wal-Mart. One day, she says, we will have a Nikon SLR. I don't know what that is.

Bella, who is very tiny, no more than 15 lbs. You can barely see her spotted toes. She has long skinny toes like Summer.

Here my mom is telling me to go out in the yard and play with the puppies. Usually I won't do it but I like these two girls.

Here we are having fun.

It's hard work being a good boy.

Some new pics from a crummy camera

Here is Bella. Princess Eva suggested the name and my mom loved it--even though we have our own Belle here. My mom says Bella like an Italian: Behllllla.

She's looking at Baby here.

She's trying to talk but we're making so

much noise I can't hear her.

My mom is faking her out with some pretend food.

But I know it's on the floor!
Here I am. I think I look pretty good even with this cheapy camera! Good grief, look at Davoo's red devil eyes! That camera must have a Twilight Zone setting...
