Doggy Daycare
Posted on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 by Julie O'Keefe
Let me just start by saying that both David and I love dogs. We
love their wonderful companionship, how they are always happy to see you, and of
course their unconditional love.
With that said, take a look at the following videos. Be patient as they may take a minute to load.
For the past two days, I have been home with Winifred (Charles and Kelli's
dog) and Honey (my parents dog). They have enjoyed playing with one
another and of course driving me insane! Both dogs have been fairly good...
individually they are wonderful. But together they seem to get into everything.
When one wants to play the other wants to sleep or if one 'thinks' they hear
something and starts barking the other just has to join in. I often found myself
giving them 'time outs' and making each go to their perspective blankets or
beds. I can only imagine what the neighbors must be thinking. Constantly yelling
at one to leave the other alone, stop eating the others food, or to quit being
pains in my butt. Bedtime has become an interesting endeavor as well. We found
that the dogs need to go to outside separately right away in the morning as well
as right before bed. Honey tends to want to mark herself all over the yard
(giving David a hard time at 5 am this morning by peeing 7 times in multiple
spots). Winifred seems to get shy and will just watch rather than going herself.
All in all we have enjoyed our time and are a little sad to be giving
Winifred back tonight. I say a 'little' due to Winifred throwing up a dog treat
that Nancy gave her at 2 am on Monday morning. Did I mention that Winifred was
sleeping on our bed? And of course, my wonderful husband sleeps like the dead
and was completely oblivious to everything. He swears that he will no longer be
sharing his blanket with Winifred (which I doubt will ever truly happen). You
just have to love these guys! |
