Puppy Party!

Last night we had some puppy friends over for a little party. I got some special treats for the boys- you may remember Taz, the adorable Aussie Shepard ala BFF weekend, and our new friend Kona, a little labradoodle. They had so much fun playing!

After playing for a while, they all enjoyed their special treats:

Taz was the only one who actually licked the icing just like it was an icecream cone!

We had a little 'Rocktail' party.... our friend had some trouble singing with a Vizsla crammed between him and the microphone, but I think the pups enjoyed our Rock Band!

We love puppy parties!

Gone the way of the Wubba

So much for 'indestructable' toys. I think we should rename him "Captain, the great destructor!" Luckily it's only been his toys (and his bed, and magazines) that he's gotten into... knock on wood. In any case, these more 'durable' toys- the Wubba and Tuff toys have lasted longer and are great toys, but don't be fooled- they can be torn apart too!

It wasn't me

This morning I decided to wash Captain's bed cover. I left the inner cushion on the floor of our bedroom and then got to work-and the rest is history.

If this isn't a "Really, I'm not guilty" look, I don't know what is...

 

 

 

I swear, he really is a good dog! Here are some other recent shots:
(Oh, and by the way, Captain apparently didn't get the memo that he's supposed to be tired after the neutering surgery. Nope. Full speed ahead. And that's why we love this energetic breed!)

Losing his...

Well, he finally lost 'em. That's right, after delays due to kennel cough and then pneumonia, Captain was finally ready for his neutering appointment yesterday. We took him in to the San Francisco SPCA, which has an awesome new building including a Spay & Neuter Clinic. The people there were great and he was well taken care of. I also really appreciate their sliding pay scale, which definitely helps in today's economy. Anyway, Captain came home a little dazed and confused, but is recovering well. We did have to fight back laughing as he bumped into things with his protective cone on- he really doesn't like that thing and was none too happy when we put it back on before bed.

In lieu of pictures of that fun adventure, I'm posting a video of our neighborhood's newest Vizlsa pup..... I remember these days! We actually met this little girl a few weeks ago and Captain had a chance to play with her a bit. Here she is at a puppy social- looks just like Captain did!



Now I know why so many people said to cherish the puppy days- they grow so quick!
