Wordless Wednesday: Hot as Balls Hurley

Hurley Badger says "It's hot up in here!"

Wordless Wednesday: He Makes Me Laugh

Here are just a few of the ways in which Hurley has got me laughing in the past few weeks:

Squeezing himself in to get a teensy piece of the bed

Learning how to get on a chair in training class

Waiting for me to get out of the bathroom

Wordless-ish Wednesday: My 3 Very Different Dogs

 

I love this picture because it perfectly captures some very different personalities.  

Sadie Miss "If I'm not looking at it, it's not there" with a side of "I'm paying attention to Momma, really I am"

Maggie Miss "Is Sadie's treat better than mine?  Maybe I should snatch hers once Mom releases us"

and

Hurley Mr "Treat, Treat, Treat, Treat, Treat..."

Wordless Wednesday: No Room for Momma

Wordless Wednesday: A Miracle on Treat Street

 

Today, we were just practicing some impulse control - stays and leave its while I tossed treats around him.  He was doing so well that I decided to up the ante.  Look what happens when you just go with the flow!  Great job, Hurley man!

Wordless Wednesday: Art Car

 

Only in Portland!

Wordless Wednesday: Sad Puppy Eyes

Wordless Wednesday: As Big As

Sadie insisted upon sharing the kennel with Hurley while I ran errands the other day.  Upon my return, I noticed something quite remarkable:  HURLEY IS AS BIG AS SADIE!!!

Wordless Wednesday: Oh Hurley!

Wordless Wednesday: Hurley's First Camping Trip

My attempts at convincing the hubster to write a guest blog about Hurley's First Camping Trip were met with a "but it's your blog" so here's his trip in pictures.

Wordless Wednesday: Big Head Hurley

There's no doubt this little guy is going to have a BIG St Bernard head!

But where does this curly tail come from?

Wordless Wednesday: Hurley

Our new puppy and the hubbie's "Congrats on opening your store" present.  In Love!!!!  (with both puppy and hubbie)

Wordless Wednesday: Video-Style

Check out this awesome new trick that Maggie spontaneously busted out and I labored hours over to perfect.  She's the smart soccer dog; I'm the idiot jumping around (in case you couldn't tell).  She follows my jumps side to side and even corrects herself if she starts jumping to the wrong side. 

Please pardon the random video of our lawn and patio in the midst of all the soccer fun (the best view of the "trick" is toward the end).  No time to figure out video editing software and the hubbie is quite the excellent videographer.  :)

Wordless Wednesday: Yes I Do Have 2 Dogs

The hubbie pointed out that I haven't posted many pictures of Maggie.  It's true.  In my defense, Sadie is a spectacularly photogenic dog and Maggie's dark fur makes picture-taking for an amateur such as me somewhat difficult.  She is gorgeous when Mom masters camera, lighting, etc.  Here are a few of my faves over the years:

Baby Maggie (aka the Good Ol' Days when she didn't destroy EVERY toy)

Adolescent Maggie - one of the first beach trips where she discovered her love of driftwood.

Adult Maggie - Chasing Balls at the Beach is hard work!
