You've got a friend in me

Friday was pretty hectic, with so much going on, the best thing is going out for some fresh air with my dog and I decided to take Thor out since he still needs training. While out on our walk we run into a little black kitten. Thor completely surprised me, I mean after his last incident I really thought it was going to take a lot of work for him to like or get along with cats, maybe he was just curious last time but it did land him some time in the crate for about 30 min.

Maybe he learned his lesson...

Take a look at these two creatures getting along...

Happy Monday to all J

4th of July..

This is gonna be a wROughff wRoughff day ... for me at least.

*Attention: Notice how excited my Puggles are

Ever since two weeks ago my neighbors have been setting off fireworks making my furbabes go wild, Mia has been barking and howling nonstop at first I was like, whatever.. No need to tell my pets to be quite either when they're just going to keep setting them off, the way I see it is if they are going to set them off then it's OK for my dogs to bark and Mia's bark as I've mentioned before isn't pleasant, AT ALL. Although, I don't care to tell my dogs to be quite I still need to consider how they feel. Last night as I was working on the blog, fireworks went off making Mia and Malibu very uneasy I knew something was wrong when Malibu started whining at first I didn't think much until i checked on her and she was shaking of fear. It's still very early in the day and they seem to be doing good since hearing a few go off already, It's a fairly nice and cool day so I plan on taking them for a quick stroll. We're hoping that with a few of these tricks I could keep them calm ...

Here are the links I used for some pretty good and surprising tips~

Otis & Ms. Maples

I don't think Otis has ever been able to keep up with Ms. Maples. Ms. Maples has always been the fast one, just like her beagle mother *Mia. This is a bizarre moment, Otis doesn't usually play and today he was captured on camera running and chasing Ms. Maples which makes me happy to see him act like a puppy again. I was getting a tad bit worried about him,but some alone time at the in laws is all he needed whereas for here at home he feels like he is fighting four other dogs for attention, poor thing when he gets shun on he becomes this grumpy ol' fart in the corner, on top of my dirty clothes. I miss this dude, glad he's having fun.
