Some days you just have the urge to look nice.  If the saying “clothes make the man” is true, why can’t clothes make the dog also?  After all, a good look is a good look!

Yesterday was Sadie’s ninth birthday and of course we had to celebrate her big day.  She got cool dog toys and treats and when Wen wanted to take her picture, as per usual, Sadie didn’t exactly want to cooperate, so it took several tries.

Sadie loves to chew up toys and she already ruined her new cupcake treat dispenser and she chewed off two legs on a plush lizard for super chewers.  Now she’s obsessed with a rubber pickle toy that she’s guarding and chewing on.

I have to say that Sadie had a good birthday though and Molly and I certainly enjoyed all the extra treats right along with her!

 

 

 

 

Guess who is having the most fun with our new dog toy.  Yep, it’s me, Riley!  I actually play with the donut toy, biting it, tossing it, and carrying it around, while Molly and Sadie just like to chew on it and tear it apart.

Before Sadie finally ripped up the toy, I had some real quality time with it and did I ever have fun!  Can’t wait until Wen comes home with another donut toy!

Oh, happy day!  Wen came home with a new donut toy for us Scotties and it’s been a long time since we’ve had one.  Did I mention that I LOVE donut toys?!

They don’t tend to last long at our house though, because we chew holes in the the plush covers quickly and before you know it, the plastic inserts with the squeakers are out and we’re chewing them up, so Wen takes them away and they go in the trash.

For now though, we can play with the donut toy in between when we chew on it.  It’s fun to carry it around, toss it up into the air, and grab it.  Did I mention that donut toys are the best?!

 

 

We stayed up until midnight last night to watch the Colorado Avalanche lose in double overtime.  There was much yelling and screaming as the tension built, only for us to have a deflating loss.  Guess we can lament our loss and look forward to next season….

🎼 Avs lost last night and we is sad, Doo-dah, doo-dah!
Double overtime was bad, Oh, doo-dah day!
