Because...

She sat here...

(He was sleeping like that)

Hike before/after

Sole before hike: alert, as far forward onto kev's shoulder as he can get.

After: barely able to get his head up there...woke up for this pic...otherwise he was standing up sleeping over there.

To be clear...

...we want you back...but we don't wanna go back to Alabama.

Christmas morning we got up early...opened some amazing squeaky toy gifts...and headed to the mountains...in the SNOW!

Here's a few pics...we had SUCH a good time on our 2 hour hike!!

Merry Christmas Bi-Ped!

We miss you! 

(This new girl bi-ped makes us do all kinds of goofy stuff...the red boy dog and bossy girl dog seem to be completely ok with it...or have just given up all hope...I confess, we are not far behind...)

Love Sole & Losi

Those aren't pillows!

Today's lunchtime walk

I don't care that it's just people standing on the trail talking...I don't like it...it's suspicious...Sole

I rolled in poo! Losi

Bath time!!

Perfectly calm and behaved:

Slightly nervous, shaking some, but a good sport:

Snow!

At least the car is ecstatic about it

I did it!

I chewed just the right cord under the tv so that now you don't have to worry about watching those dumb tv shows and you can play with me! Yeah me!

Right now

7:30 PM Monday evening:

   - Biju and Sole are taking turns chewing on each others face

   - Losi is laying on the dog bed squeak squeak squeaking the tennis ball

   - Kyra is viciously guarding her 1/2 of the living room floor because she's chewing on a bone that NOONE is going to take from her

Wait...ok apparently Sole has had enough of Losi's ball squeaking and is now chewing on HIS face...

And the Kaiser still dominates most of the living room floor...

Just a typical evening at the Hasley kennel....

Green thing!

Went into the water! It's in the water! 

Can we...

Help you wrap presents? You're on the floor so you must want us here...

Save me!

Rub ma belly

Depends...

What kind of treat am I gonna get to come inside?

(Such a jerk...if he gets the sense that I'm leaving or shutting the dog door he runs outside and doesn't come in until my offering appeases him)

The ball moves on its own!!

The short bi-ped brought home a new toy...it's a ball that lights up...and rolls on its own...AND bounces on its own!!  I love it...I must destroy it!! Sole

Awkward doggie photos

Mid action shot...or Sole morphing into a Shar Pei...you decide

Tally

So Losi spent 7 days with my friend Shannon...who provided the following info:

That roughly averages to:

29 face kisses

16 gooses...to be exact, that breaks down to: 7 butt gooses and 9 'lady part' gooses

12 hand licks

AND 1 phenomenally choreographed eyeball lick

Upon my arrival to her house to pick him up...I was welcomed with:

4 gooses

No less than 56 face kisses including 2 open mouthed and 1 tooth-touching-tooth incident.

Love that goofy dog.

Why yes

I am quite cozy in my doggie row kennel, thank you for asking...where's my cookie?

(2 hr later)

Omg the water bowl is frozen solid! I'll play with it as a toy!! This is awesome!

Losi

Confession time

I love this small boy bi-ped.

Clearly he isn't replacing the big guy...but I've had a really fun time with him and the red boy while everyone was gone.

We went for a jog one Saturday. And every night he comes home and we play a little like this

When he walks away, I do this waiting for his return to the living room

Then I get a couple more min of play again...my new BFF! Sole

Homecoming

I don't know what Sole is thinking...the girl bi-ped is MINE. We come home...sure I'm really happy to see him, but he was trying to get entirely too close to my girl bi-ped. 

I know, I know he hadn't seen her in a week either...but he was trying to cuddle MY girl bi-ped.

There was some growling and posturing maybe, but I mean he's my brother...no scuffling...

(10 min later...)

I love this guy

WHAT!

My girl bi-ped is coming!!

Omg I'm so excited! You know what...when I see her I'm going to kiss her right on the lips no less than 18 times!!  I swear! And jump all over her in the hopes that she will never leave me again. Losi

FINALLY some peace n quiet

Not sure what's happening...but small, bossy, red girl...Losi...and my girl bi-ped are all missing.  They've been gone for almost a week...it's been AWESOME.

I love the red boy and the remaining boy bi-ped...I'm really not sure why Losi doesn't like him.  I LOVE him.  And I've had so much fun going on walks with him and playing w the red boy. Sole

Thanksgiving 'Abandonment'

She's abandoned us.  The girl bi-ped tricked the little, bossy, red girl dog and I into getting into the car with the tall skinny bi-ped.  Then she just waved good bye!

I mean I guess it turned out ok...I like this guy:

And we get to play with our new BFF Teton...he whimpers a lot, but lets me get on the couch where we can stare out the front window all day...so that's cool:

The tall skinny bi-ped has a big toy bucket...I pulled each one out till I found the ball I wanted:

Losi

Can I...

Comes up there with you?

No...fine I'll just go dig a hole in the backyard...

Happy Losi

6:12 AM

Squeak squeak squeak Squeak squeak squeak Squeak squeak squeak Squeak squeak squeak...oh...my bad...were you trying to sleep? Sole

Bi-Ped training

Sigh.  The trouble with bi-peds.  Just when you get one trained, he moves out of the country and you have to train another one.  Sigh.  This morning was particularly challenging.

She calls us in...offering up a hard, dog bone shaped treat.  I think I made myself clear about this offering when I spit it back out on the floor at her feet.

I then proceeded back outside to start the exercise again.  

She calls me in...this time offers up a small, meaty, chewy treat.  Sigh.  This is going to take a while.  Again, I spit it at her feet and proceed outside again.

Third times a charm right.  Geeze I hope so...she has to get to work.  

Clearly she learned...this time she went for the jar of peanut butter...got a small scoop...and called me in.  Finally...an acceptable offering.  I eat the pb and trot off, satisfied, into the living room.

I sincerely hope she's learned her lesson.

Sole

How many...

Dogs can you fit in the back of a truck?

Hint: don't forget the little one and the fluffy, black, autistic guy in the back

New toy tug-o-war!

It's mine! I won it from sole after a full 30 min of tugging...now this little red sneak comes in and tries to take it! No! Losi

Welcome home

I haven't seen you all day...I'll attack you on the bed and nibble on your face...welcome home!

Ready to travel

Got a camper for the truck

And set the back up for the dogs...Sole approved

Warning

Wiggling and smiling

Leads to 3 dog pile-up

Until the little police woman in the back had enough of that mess and put a stop to it all...she was TRYING to sleep

Are we there yet

What's happening tonight:

Mine! No the new squeaky hedgehog is mine!

Um, excuse please...did you realize it's dinner time...
