Because I'm Having a Bad Day...

I wanted to share this.  Who can have a bad day when both your dogs got to sit on Santa's lap at Doggie Daycare with funny things around their necks?!  I love those little guys!!

Oi. Oi. Oi.

Of course - Kennesaw is scared of daycare.  She LOVES one on one play but the craziness of all the dogs freaks her out.  When I called to "check on her" since we saw her against the blue wall pretty much all day they just said she is really shy and overwhelmed and daycare is not for every dog.  But we NEED her to love it.  She has to stay there over our honeymoon.  Right now they said she cannot stay overnight... it would cause too much stress.  I can hear my dad now you never should have gotten a 2nd dog.

Puppy Play Date with Lola!

Yesterday was a fun little day for Mulligan and Kennesaw.  My friend Tiffany has an adorable little black dog named Lola.  Mulligan has met her in the past, but he really was more interested in playing fetch than playing with her.  But when Kennesaw came into our world, we decided to introduce her to Lola and let them play!  And oh it was glorious.

Mulligan came along too, so the 1st car ride with the two of them in the car was, well, interesting.  Mulligan as usual, barked his little face off.  Kennesaw just looked at him like he was a mad dog and kept trying to escape to the front seat and would put him in his place when he would trample her.  Okay, trample may be dramatic, but still he stood on her.

We got to Tiffany's and oh did the chaos start.  Lots of barking and pulling on the leash and then when they were free there was lots of chasing.  You know... typical dog world stuff.  Then the dogs seemed to not really be all that interested in each other.  Joy.  Mulligan played fetch for oh 2 hours and Kennesaw gave me a heart attack when she decided to escape under the fence.  Yeah. Escape. So I got to jump 2 fences and then carry her back in my arms through the jungle.  (Hey woman in Aiken, I REALLY need that chip info back so I can register her online.  Please and thank you.)  After closing up the hole on both sides with rocks and not letting the Escape artist out of my sight ... her and Lola FINALLY began to play.

And I mean they played.  They chased each other.  Wrestled with each other.  And when it was all said and done, I had 2 tuckered pups.  

When we got home Kennesaw couldn't decide if she wanted to sleep in the kitchen or in the dining room so she slept half in one room and half in the other.   Mulligan, he just crashed on the love seat and these two dogs were pretty much done for the night.

Kennesaw has her 1st day of daycare on Friday and we're really excited to get her "graded" and see how she is behavior wise (we know bad) and see what sort of suggestions the trainers have on how to train her and exercise her.  Oh the life of a spoiled Shanahan-Vines dog!

i am going to call this one: blast from the past. This was before we were even allowed to take little Mulligan home. How freaking cute is he?! We still cannot believe he was ever that small.
