Yea, Sunshine!

Oh man, has this past week and weekend been a pain in the rear! After 3 and a half days of rain and another day of cloudy, wet yuck, the sun finally came out.

Now normally I would have been doing a tap dance about the good fortune of having multiple days of rain and being able to turn off the automatic sprinkler systembut not now. With 5 bad weather days, over 2-1/2 inces of rain and three puppys, our back yard looks like a picture of disaster zone in a third world country that you would see on TV.

This picture doesn’t even begin to capture how bad the backyard really is right now. It’s amazing how the poop piles and torn up items can become hidden in a picture…even without editing.

Oh, and I won’t even go into how bad the house looks after having three pups go in and out in the rain for multiple days.

Thank goodness for both our sanity and the pups lives, the sun has come back out so they can get out and burn off some steam!

I forgot to mention that over the weekend, Fargo and Sadie turned 7 months old.  That and just a good reason to post this picture that we took the other day of the two.

And This Is Why We Love Them

You know, I am sure that there will be plenty of hair pulling days to come with these pups and cats. Heck we’ve already had some very trying days, which is why we decided to keep a blog on all the antics. Thus we can look back in the coming years and get a laugh over what all has happened. But here is a picture of Sadie and Fargo that remind us of why they are such great animals to have around.

OOPS, WRONG PICTURE!

That was Fargo and the swing cushion that got destroyed. Here’s the real picture…

and this is the real reason we have three pups! All it takes is one little thing like this and all the antics are quickly forgotten. Which is why we love those wasckly wabbits.

Today was the first day of training class for the Newfs. We’ve been working on their training at home since they arrived but felt like they were ready for formal classes. We took them to see Ursa’s trainer last weekend to make sure that they were ready for intermediate classes and they started today. One of the downsides to multiple puppies – you spend A LOT of time in training class and even more working on training at home. 
Honestly, we weren’t expecting much out of them today. We joked that this class was a test of our ability to survive embarrassment! Fargo wants to please but he’s so focused on the treat that he sometimes forgets the commands. Sadie is Little Miss Obedient when she’s alone but is easily distracted by the other dogs. Even Ursa has been struggling with new commands lately – all in all we weren’t feeling very confident!
Aaahhh – but on our way into class a good omen came our way – a bird pooped on Fargo! It must be true that it’s good luck because both Newfs did better than expected. 
Our trainer – we love you Ally!
