Life is Better in Motion

I'm sure it's obvious by now that I am a total photography nut. I love taking pictures. The only thing better than a picture....is a video! :-)

My little camera has a video setting, and I'm always taking videos. Dogs are goofy and silly and you never know what they will do. Here are a few funny videos of the silly "puppy-dogs" who have stayed with us:

Bella the Boxer

Meet Bella! ....yes, Bella the boxer!

She is our new "regular". Her mom is an EMT and Bella stays with us 2 nights a week. It's great for everyone. Her mom is able to plan weeks in advance and not worry about her dog being alone. It's nice for Bella because she can have the comfort and stability of returning to the same place every week. It's also awesome for me! I tend to get attached to the dogs who stay with us. It's always a little sad when it's time to say goodbye and send them back home. I love knowing that when I say "good-bye Bella", it's only for a few days! hahaha!

Bella is so goofy and full of energy, she cracks me up. She is also the biggest love-bug I have ever met. She will lean ALL hear weight against you and slowly sllllliiiide down into a good position and fall asleep. She will lay with you like that for hours. It's so sweet! :-)

Helping me with my homework.....

....I mean Facebook haha!

Those are some tired puppy dogs :-)

Boarding Bubba

Meet Bubba! She is staying with us for the next week. Isn't she so cute?! I love those big round eyes! :-)

She is a lab mix....maybe a little Sheppard...maybe a little Pit. All I know is that she is 100% sweetheart! Many dogs are a little bit clingy when they are being boarded, but she cracks me up. I took a shower today and left the bathroom door open. When I was done and I pulled back the curtain, there she was looking at me from the bathmat! She was laying right next to the tub, just waiting for me to get out. haha!

We took a walk today and the weather was so nice. It was sunny but not hot....the dogs were in heaven :-)

Izzie and Bubba are getting along great

Flynn the Puppy

Last weekend we puppy-sat for the most adorable puppy. Flynn is a 3 month old yellow lab. It was so fun to have him around, but it reminded me how much work a puppy can be. It's amazing how they can find trouble everywhere! Flynn is also teething, so he chews on everything he can find. It's like having a baby around because they put everything in their mouth, but also like a 2 year old because they can get into anything and be little trouble-makers. You really have to stay on your toes when boarding a puppy. :-)

"Mmmmmmmm... "Chuck-it" yummy yummy yummy"

"Hello!"


Here is Flynn being an adorable puppy

He really wanted to be friends with Izzie, it was so sweet. After a few hours though, the puppy energy was a bit much for Izzie. Flynn was just so hyper and Izzie was not used to a puppy in her face with his little high pitched bark. We joked that she had turned into a grumpy old lady. We let Izzie go inside for a little quiet respite. :-)
So, it was perfect that later in the day we went across the street to a family BBQ. Our cousin's have a little dog who is full of energy. Flynn and Pucchi were a perfect match.They chased each other around for hours and had so much fun!

I love the action shots! haha!

The kids in the family of course LOVED the puppy. I am not sure who had more fun, the dogs or the kids. :-)
My favorite Bulldog Jax was also there. I can't resist sharing a few pictures. I have always loved bulldogs. How could you not? Look at that face!
After all the playtime and running around, Flynn was exhausted. We laughed as he laid down in our front yard before we could even get in the house. He was tired! It's hard being a puppy :-)
