Hard to believe it, but Bryce is 9 years old today – where does the time go?!
I think he wanted to start celebrating early – he woke me up at 4:30 this morning, which earned him a 2 word comment from me that was rather rude and wasn’t “Happy Birthday”. What can I say? I don’t like getting up when its dark and I’m not at my most charming Before Coffee.
I picked up some special cookies for him yesterday – those were a big hit with both dogs.
Below is a little clip of him with an early b’day present (listen towards the end and you’ll hear it talk). It’s been too hot and humid to run around doing agility so the last time I stopped at Staples for some ink cartridges I saw they were still selling these things and decided it was time for a new Stupid Pet Trick…
Any ideas for a clever cue to put on this?
Jayda does this trick too, and rather well, but watching that video I see its not a good idea to have the 2 dogs together around this “toy” as Jayda will back away from it if she sees Bryce moving in. Interesting, because if I’m doing “retrieve games” with them she’s very competitive – she has no qualms about elbowing him out of the way, stealing things from his mouth or bumping him so he drops them (THEN she steals them). Apparently, different rules apply to “foot whack games”.
Ohmygod! How can Bryce be 9?????????
Happy Birthday gorgeous boy!!
I love that “toy”! I will ask Dennis to pick one up when he is in the US next!
I know how you feel about Sally. Sometimes the weirdest things set me off thinking about Joy. But to have someone drive up to your door is definitely a sign from Sally saying HI!
That button would make a really funny contact target – kind of a poor-man’s version of those “touch-it” “hit-it” gadgets. If Dennis doesn’t have another trip planned soon, let me know and I’ll send you one.
That picture of the two sisters makes me smile – I remember when I was taking it they were both bouncing up and down and Sally’s little back feet were scrambling and scrambling – determined to find a toehold on the side of that pool. (The boys were slower to develop). A week and a half later, you couldn’t keep either of those girls in anything that didn’t have a “roof” on it – they were a real handful!
As a baby, Allie was as fresh as they get – a lot like their mother. She would have made an awesome agility dog!
Still, not a single regret about the home she got – she’s been so well loved and cared for all these years – who could ask for more?
Ha – P B’day Bryce!
That toy sounds like gr8 fun.
