Half of a Lemon

Take a giant, yellow lemon and cut it in half.
Bury in the dirt one half of the lemon.
Dogs sniff out the prize.
Dogs dig like they are escaping to the Big World.
Bella finds the lemon first.
Leo wants it. Bad.
Dogs frolic all over with their prize.
Mom comes and takes away all their fun.

The things that they find on this property are amazing. I have no idea where the lemon came from. Seriously. When I took it from Bella, it smelled fresh and the inside looked freshly cut then squeezed. Weird. The vinca (sp) holds many prizes and the dogs bring them up to us. They bring up things like old action figures that the kids have lost, a beer bottle (Coors, sigh), and a hose sprayer. Most of the time, they drop the prize when we ask them to, but Leo trotted all over with the action figure before we got it. Obedience training is right around the corner now.

New Post - Finally!

It's been a long time since I have posted new pics - I know! The Bubbas, aka Bella and Leo, are doing great. They have recovered nicely from their spay/neuter operations. It's been two full months and Leo has not shown *any* signs of mellowing out. They are growing like weeds and have the best personalities. They are loved very much.

Gabe plays ball with the dogs nearly everyday and on the weekends at least 3-4 times. Leo likes to play super hard and run until he's literally dropping to the ground. Then, when he regains his strength, he brings the ball back to Gabe for more. Leo hurt his foot this past weekend so we didn't let him play ball.

Here are some recent pics. Leo is getting so tall...he looks like he has long sticks for legs with balls on the bottom. Bella is getting taller as well and is about 5 pounds behind Leo.
