Jordan
Another rainy stormy day in eastern TN. But we got some cute pictures of Jordan in her puppy in training coat. Makes me want a new lens for my camera for sure. Can't figure out why each of these pics were just slightly out of focus......
#WetWednesday - Playtime
Ever since I've moved to TN, in January, I'm pretty sure its rained EVERY Wednesday, and today was no exception...
Rain was only part of the ordeal, for most of the afternoon, it thundered and rained cats and dogs.
Jordan and Texas were not bothered by all of the noise outside, while Bubbles and Ben, huddled under my feet.
Jordan is a full-blooded lab to the stomach, and will chomp your hand off trying to get treats. (Puppy teeth HURT!) Today I tricked her into eating her meds plain. Silly Dog gulped them down n/p! (and barely left my hand intact)
But before that happened we did get some playtime in outside, during the muggy morning.
Ben and I did some training, Texas and Bubbles dug a hole, Jordan sat and watched the proceedings.Fun Times all around! =)

She's BaaccckkK!
Remember Jordan from about a month ago??
Wellll she's back for another visit!!! She may have sprained her leg before arriving her, so she's limping around here. But she's not letting her stop her one bit!!! And is bee-bopping around here like the rest of them!!
I took her out to eat with me, this evening, and I'd forgotten how easy it is to take a puppy out. She just came and slept under my chair no questions asked!
I miss this :(( But am glad I get to baby-sit her.

Random News Fact of the Day: Texas tried to eat a dried up frog, then spit it out on my CARPET. Course I had to get it up before everyone else decided it was a new toy. Makes me want to puke just thinking about it.

Bubbles
Last night, Bubbles gave my family and I, the scare of our lives. By dissapearing for 6 hours!!!
We'd all been outside talking, some friends had taken my youngest siblings to Dollywood for the day, and had just got back. All the dogs were out running around as was everyone else.
Bubbles had found some sort of creature by the air conditioning unit, and was busy trying to dig it out. Well my dad had the bright idea, to see if she could find the creature, that was haunting the crawl space of their house.
So he opened the door and let her in. My exact words were: "You are not going to be able to get her out of there, unless you drag her out." But a second later she came bouncing
back out, and went back to A/C unit.
A little while later, the party dispersed, and since my brother wanted Bubbles to spend the night with him, I gathered up Ben and Texas; figuring she would just either come back to my house, or go to the door and bark to be let in. Which is normal for her.
That was around 7:00PM.
Around 9:00PM - My brother comes banging in asking for Bubbles..."No she's up there with you guys!" My brother can be very dramatic at times, and shrieked "WHAT?!?!" And takes off back up the hill. Well...there was no sign of her.
And the search commenced.
By 12:30 we gave up, and just prayed she'd make it back safely.
Sleep as of course hard to come by, as it was raining and storming outside, and I couldn't imagine what anxiety she might be going through!!
Around 2AM, I awoke with a start, as there was a long dachshund body. I switched the light on only to realize it was Texas, but got up to check outside.
Still no sign.
But just 30 minutes later, my brother comes banging on my window.Scared me SILLY of course. But announcing that they had found Bubbles; she had dug a hole under the house and gotten STUCK. *eye-roll*
The hole was under my sisters room, and she kept hearing sounds down there, and when they went back to investigate, all they could see was her butt, she was still digging away, not even caring about the tramua she'd put us all through.
Around 5AM they got her out, and she came back home, wet, a little thirsty, but no worse.
Of course we'd all suffered several heart attacks, during this time. But she's back home now. And pretty much slept all morning.
I'd figured she was pretty close, because Bubbles does not wander, she's off leash most of the time, but she sticks around the houses...if I go in without her, a few minutes later she's at the door barking to be let in.
I also installed a bell on her collar, so I could hear her in the dark...since her recall is non-existent...cause she never runs!
But once she finds something (mouse, rodent etc..) her ears turn off, and she won't come out until she's about to drop from exhaustion.
Which is what I figured had happened....but wow how nerve racking that was!!

#WetWednesday - Texas Speaks
Yo Guys!
Wow have we had a crazzzzyy weekend!! Mom has only told you about a little of it. But it was a blast!! We had like 5 dogs in here, and we played as much as possible!!!!
The black one is a guide dog, mom had at one time or another, and the orange one is Eden; he's part of the program Ben is in. He wasn't much fun at all, cause he just stayed under mom's desk for most of the time. He did come out a little bit on Sat/Sun and played for a teensy weensy bit.
Anyways they both left on Monday, and we were so tired we slept for like....ALL EVENING.
Tuesday was boring - Mom and Ben left for a while, and then came back and left again. Some dog related stuff.
Today all it did was RAIN! It stopped for a little bit and mom ran us outside for a quick walkie up the hill, to her parents house. Her dryer stopped working so she has to haul her clothes up there to dry them. But while we were there it started to pour!!
But the silly lady didn't just stay inside until it stopped...nooo she had to walk us ALL back HOME in the RAIN! We were all SOAKED by the time we got back.
Anyways as dried off, we broke out all the new toys mom had bought us! Cause when Rei and Eden were here, we all had fun tearing up every toy in the house...cept for the bones. Mom said from this point on she's not buying stuffed toys.
I'm just like whatever, cause these new toys are awesome, she's going to get some more, cause we're going to have some more visitors coming soon!
Note from Erin:
When I'm buying toys, I just by for the big dogs....Texas will haul around the biggest toys and have fun so...whats the point of buying little?
Texas's Motto:
If I look at it Its Mine
If I sniff it Its Mine
If I want it Its Mine
If you have it Its Mine
If you are having more fun with it than, I'm having with my current toy ITS MINE. (wow that one was long. lol)
And you know the drill.
As I was telling someone else, I don't make "specialer" allowances for Texas due to his size...mainly because he is the bully of the family!

Friday
Today kind started fast, and then slowed, and then sped up again. We were supposed to meet with my A/C around 1:00PM, but she called around 9:00AM, say that she wouldn't be able to meet us, until later...could we come earlier?
So ok, we could do early. So we started rushing around, getting dressed, pottying and feeding all five dogs...etc..etc..
Only to get another call, and have the times be switched too later in the day...so we decided to go see the family.
Rei was overjoyed to see everyone, and they here; we stayed out and talked and took pictures for over and hour, while the other dogs ran around and played.
Eden was nervous around all the new people :(
After that we put Ben, Bubbles and Texas in the house, and loaded Eden and Rei into the car, for the long drive to A******e. We arrived around 2:30, and I drove Kacie by our "old-but-still-not-sold-house*, and tried to track down my neighbor, who so kindly let us use her yard, while Rei was a puppy. But she was out of a while, so we headed on to my A/C's house.
There we sat and chatted, while all six dogs ran around the yard.
Deacon - Vizla, SAM - Golden, Eden - Goldendoodle, and Astrid - Lab
Deacon and Rei
Once we were done there, we dropped by my old neighborhood once more, and this time was able to catch my neighbor; who was very happy to get to see Rei, and meet Kacie as well.
::Rei and Eden on the way home, Eden seems to be used as a pillow a lot::
It was a long, but fun day. I was pretty tired as was Kacie, but the dogs had all just gotten their second wind...and bounced and played, and tore into toys, and stole from each other and got on each others nerves...etc..etc..
*eye-roll*
Rei and Texas couldn't decide if they liked each other at first, but they got over it....sort of.... :D
