The Couch Crew : Really do need a camera 24/7

Hey Crew fans!

Happy June! It's definitely warming up & the pups aren't much of a fan.

Ziva, who the previous 2 summers was active in the heat, no longer loves it. She has quit staying outdoors (if there is no shade) and loves being inside the air condition. We often find her in the bathroom or basement just lying there. Poor girl, I think she's officially an adult Berner at this stage.

In case you missed it on the FB page, daycare took a GORGEOUS photo of the girl ....

Isn't she such a beauty??

OH! And I can't believe I didn't do a post on the day. Such a bad Momma I am. I did post on the FB page...which is kind of the whole point of having it....so I can do quick updates.
Anyhow.... Last Saturday Ziva turned 2.

Plus DAYCARE DID This!!!

Daycare loves my girl!!!

Wow, at first I didn't think I'd have enough to make a long post, but as I write I find I do have stuff!!!!
AND...to top it off, want to see pics of Ziva's Momma, sister Rixie, & Sister Penny???

Beauties. In truth, Christine D, who bred a number of pups from Rosie & prior to that, Digity, really has bred gorgeous Berners. Wish I could share all the pups whose pics are shared in the group.

So the title of this post.

I've said it before and I know I'll say it again a 100x, I truly need a camera going ALL.THE.TIME.

Last night I ran to the store for some groceries. I picked up 3 toys (Peryn, Ziva, & Volos) as well as a bag of chews for the guys.

-BORDER PATROL-

The dogs have taken it upon themselves as of the past year or so to inspect all packages & bags brought into the house. I guess their spoiled butts have recognized I usually get then something. So EVERY item that comes through the front or garage door has a nose in them. It's mostly Volos & Ziva as they are the 2 that enjoy the what I bring home the most.

Came home, backed in as I always do. Open the trunk the dogs have now made it out to the garage to greet me. Then VOLOS....the one with joint & leg issues...hops up on his hind legs to start inspecting the bags.
Of course the bag with their stuff is at the front of the bags in the corner. When he gets to this bag he begins shoving his nose inside and starts to pull out the first toy he can, He's hilarious when it comes to getting something he wants.

Of course Rich takes the bag to the kitchen (including the toy) and puts it on the counter so we can finish unloading. Volos then hovers around the island looking up at the bags, trying to locate THEIR bag.

He NEVER does this if there is food (Ziva does however). He usually patiently waits in the dining area on the carpet.
NOPE! Not when there is a toy.

Proceeded to distribute the toys (I let Volos pick from the 3). Ziva & Peryn grab theirs & head to the living room to honk & squeak.

Then, as always, Ziva has to get up to try and take Volos' toy. Well, not really take. She LOVES to play tug with him. Seriously it is her favorite thing. So of course they start to tug & eventually a hole rips into the toy.

Peryn starts his whipping HIS toy around and Lada just barks, barks, barks.

And a reminder to why Lada does not get a toy.
She ONLY likes tennis balls. NO OTHER TOY. When she does play with another toy, it's usually on her own & when she can rip it up.

Lada got a new toy over the weekend anyhow. Her toy is expensive.

I broke the ball launcher at the farm on Saturday. I used Petsmart's same day delivery to buy a new launcher & a BUNCH of tennis balls. It was delivered & she happily is fetching in the basement with the new balls.
I even was smart enough to buy a small 3 pack of Kong squeaky tennis balls for the other 3 so they'd leave Lada's balls alone.

Do I even need to tell you that Volos helped himself to that bag when it was delivered & proceeded to open the tennis ball bunch???

Again, another not caught on "film".

The patio is ready for the summer and that also means more outside playing.
The pool opened for the summer.
