snow Bs

2012-02-04T19:24:00.000-08:00

a few weeks ago we had some snow here. our human played with us in the back yard. these are some of our photos. you can see how deep the snow is in this photo. it's all the way up to my belly!

Baxter wasn't so much interested in running in the deep snow, but he was happy to pose for a nice picture.

the three poodle boys were standing in an area where we smashed the snow down. we had several trails in the snow, and little Walter kept to those trails most of the time.

we were playing snow fetch and Benson was the champion of the game.

every time the human threw the ball it would get buried under the snow, so Benson would dig for it. sometimes he dropped the ball on purpose just so he could dig in the snow. he was having so much fun!

it was kind of hard work to run in the deep snow, but Benson is a True Athlete. what a kid!

Walter had fun in the snow, but he stayed on the snow paths most of the time. when his feets got cold, he would hold them up and then we went in the house to thaw him out!

we did enjoy the snow, but it's all melted now and we are back to mud.

for Maggie

2012-01-30T19:41:00.000-08:00

our dear sweet friend, Maggie, went to heaven yesterday. we like to think she went to a special place, called the rainbow bridge, where she will wait for her beloved humans and bruzzer, Mitch, to join her.

wherever she is, we know she is watching over her family and sending them comfort and love.

miss Maggie, we will miss you, sweet friend. your were a special lady and we will always remember you with love in our hearts.

good news!

2012-01-02T20:07:00.000-08:00

woo hoo! we are soooo happy! the vet lady called today and said that Baxter does NOT have cancer!

the vet lady said something about fibrosis mixed cell dermatitis infection thingie. those are a bunch of words and human was so excited that she maybe didn't write them down right. she did get the NO CANCER part right though!

sweet Baxter still has a wound on his toe where the vet operated on him, so he still has to heal from that. he's gonna get some pills too. he will get his stiches out and his bandaid off in about another 10 days or so. until then, human gave him this special sock to wear over his bandage. he has sexy legs, doesn't he?!

these are some photos taken in our back yard about 2 weeks ago. human says we need to do some yard work as soon as Baxter is able to hang out in the yard again. right now he has to stay inside as much as possible to keep his bandage dry and help his wound to heal.

there is a rumor that my little buddy and i don't have any eyes. well i'm here to tell you that rumor is totally false. and here is the photo to prove it. heehee!

you'll have to excuse my silly schnoodle humor. we're all just giddy with the happy news about Baxter.

Baxter's toe

2011-12-25T23:24:00.000-08:00

when i, Bailey, was just a pup, the human thought i should have a friend, so she got Baxter for me. he's been my best buddy for most of my entire life.

maybe you have heard that Baxter has had more than his share of challenges in his life.

he has degenerated disks in his back and sometimes his back legs don't want to hold him up.

he is allergic to just about everything and has been undergoing allergy shots for the past 6 months, but they aren't working yet, darnit.

now we have learned that our sweet Baxter buddy has a spindle cell tumor in his toe and he may have to have his toe removed. the vet said some fancy words about spindle cell carcinoma. he is going to have a surgery next week for a biopsy. then, after his biopsy results, the vet said that he will have to have another surgery to remove his toe.

i'm really worried about my Baxter. human is too. she won't talk about it, but i can read her mind.

she is going to talk to the vetty that did my TPLO surgeries to see if he will take care of Baxter.

then she is going to beg another special vetty to accept Baxter as a patient and make him strong and healthy so he won't get sick any more never again.

so we are all putting our paws together for Baxter, my bestest friend, and the human says he is her love dog. i know there are other pups out there that need help and our dear friend, Asta, is moving to a far away place. i'm afraid the power of the paw may be spread pretty thin right now. if any dog has any power of the paw left, we would appreciate a little for our sweet Baxter.

thank you, friends.

making an appearance

2011-12-18T18:30:00.000-08:00

i can't believe it's been more than a month since we last posted.

the human took us to get our photos taken with santa paws. we planned for this for an eternity and got all ready and were there early and ready to look our best. this is the sad result. human was not pleased with this photo. of course we look handsome, but where are we all? all you can see of Benson is his collar and his teeth. Walter looks so tiny. poor little Walter.

the human wanted to have Walter get his photo done individually with santa paws and this is another disappointing result.

oh sure, santa looks great, but poor Walter doesn't look too comfortable or happy. we had been hoping to make a holiday card with these photos, but that isn't going to happen.

i guess we'll have to try again next year.

bed time

2011-10-28T20:09:00.000-07:00

we posted this photo on fb, but wanted to put it here again because we like it so much.

we were getting ready for bed the other night and the human thought we looked so adorable all lined up on our side of the bed like that. she thought that we might get up if she left the bedroom to get her camera so she took this photo with her phone.

she was happy that we left her side of the bed for her. sometimes we snooze on her side and then we tell her that we are making the bed warm for her. she says that she loves sleeping with us. we're all cozy and snuggley, you know.

so now we've posted way too many times lately and we used up all of our good pictures. we'll visit your bloggies next.

don't worry be happy

2011-10-26T20:02:00.000-07:00

we are still very sad about losing our friend, Claudette, but we know that she would not want us to be sad. Claudette would insist that we carry on with our crazy lives and be happy. so we say okee dokee. here we are.

we just have some miscellaneous dog park photos to show you today. this is zooming Walter. he LOVES the dog park. check out those flying ears.

we like this photo of Baxter cuz he's kind of flying a little bit. his ears are flying for sure. whee!!!

tonight our human hit sweet Baxter in his eye with her tennis ball. she is so terrible at throwing and Baxter jumped right into the line of the ball. it hit him pretty hard and he cried. ouch! his eye is kind of red and swollen now, but we think he will be okay. if not, it's off to the vet - again...

Benson is the number 1 ball dog in our pack. he's an amazing athlete.

what can i say about Brody?! he is a zoomer of a dog. that dog loves to run.

and me, i'm just the most handsome schnoodle on the face of the earth. i'm also the smartest. when the human is talking to me and then she asks me 'do you understand what i'm saying?' i always come over to her and let her pet me. sometimes i give her a wet nose on her arm. she likes that.

so that's all that's up with us. i'll let you know how Baxter's eye is doing.

woofs.

our friend, auntie Claudette

2011-10-21T19:53:00.000-07:00

several years ago, when we were doing the DWB holiday card exchange, there was a late addition. that was when we first got to know our auntie Claudette. as we got to know her and her beloved Lacy Lulu, we learned how caring she was for all creatures, including humans. this is the last picture she took of Lacy Lulu, before she crossed over the rainbow bridge.

we learned that our dear friend, Claudette, has made the crossing over the rainbow bridge today. she is joining her sister and her special Lacy Lulu and many more pups and humans. we're a little barkless and very sad. we are praying on the dog star tonight and looking for that special new bright shining star.

RIP, Claudette. we are better pups to have known you and we will miss you, dear friend.

devil dots!

2011-10-08T21:46:00.000-07:00

someone told us that those little black dots that some dogs have on their tongues are called devil dots. hee hee! no, not Benson!

so the human was painting the house and Baxter just found a nice spot in the shade to play with his ball.

Brody was a very good boy when human was cutting his hairs and he got transformed from a fuzzy bear into a beautiful dog. he was getting his long ears in his food, so she trimmed them a bit and left his long highlighted curls on his head. oh yeah, he's a handsome fellow.

as for me, still the leader of the pack. what can i say? i am The Dog.

number 8 !

2011-09-24T19:30:00.000-07:00

this is my very firstest puppy photo. hehe! i was so little and black too. today is my birthday and i'm 8 years old!

human says dog years go very fast.

i got into plenty of troubles when i was a little kid, and human says i still can drive her crazy. i guess it's just a talent that i have. thank dog for that innocent face!

oh yeah, i can do no wrong.

i like being grown up now. we do lots of fun things with my buddies and the human.

we celebrated number 8 with dog park, cheeseburgers, ice cream and grooming! i guess it's a perfect day -except for the grooming.

happy birthday to ME !

oh, what now?

2011-09-21T21:02:00.000-07:00

it really bugs me that the human deleted ALL of our past posts. it was easily 3 years worth, maybe 4, heck, maybe 5.

why does she do these crazy things?

our history is all gone

Walter went to doggy day care today for the very first time. he threw up twice when he got home.

busy Bs

2011-09-07T22:14:00.000-07:00

yes, we've been busy keeping our human out of trouble

don't worry, we're still getting plenty of time at the dog park

Brody has a handsome profile. we all think he should be a model, but he's not interested. he's pure dog, that one.

Benson is demonstrating just how to stretch for the ball without leaving the ground.

we've been helping with yard work too. guess whose paws these are.

what have the Bs been up to?

2011-08-04T04:07:00.000-07:00

well, let's fill you in on our lives since we last barked.

Walter went to work with the human. this is his photo in her office. scary, huh?

and guess what else Walter is learning to do? he's going swimming with us! he makes a lot of splashes. the human likes that.

here we all are at the park doing our favorite thing - running!

the grass grew really tall at the dog park. i think it's because we had a lot of rain. it rained here until about a week ago.

Benson is still doing lots of flying.

Brody had a birthday.

so did Baxter and Benson too.

Baxter went to the dermatologist and is getting allergy shots now from the human. he's very tolerant of it, but he hasn't gotten cured yet.

me and my ball buddy.

more newses:

*    our grampop in idaho had a heart attack, but he's getting better now.

*     we won $150 free shopping at west paw design just because the human filled out a travel survey. we love their stuff!

*     Walter has itchy skin so he is getting baths 2 times per week with special medicine shampoo (haha!)

*     human's dish washing machine broke and now she has to wash all of our dishes by hand. so? we're not impressed. she made me type that.

*     and that's about it. we are having an okay summer.    we need to go on a road trip. we hope all of our friends are happy and having lots of fun.

see ya around, friends

2011-06-16T02:32:00.000-07:00

we're going to take a break. we'll check in with you from time to time.

human says she "just can't take it anymore"

don't forget about us, okay?
