Ryleigh = Adorable

I appear to have taken several photos of Ryleigh this weekend, and none of anyone else.  Minaki was pretty low-key, spent most of her time just lounging around.  And Owen chose to hang out outside by himself most of the weekend (he doesn't like my inside rules, so he prefers to hang out outside where the rules are much more to his liking).  Ryleigh was indoors and playful, so she got most of my attention.

My dad and stepmom visited yesterday.  All the pups loved them.  Ryleigh and Owen were excited and jumping around competing for the most pets.  Minaki was excited and came over to check everyone out,but she wasn't jumpy.  She is such a lady.  She even got held a bit by my stepmom.  She was a little nervous at first, but she soon curled up like she was giving a hug.  

Ryleigh has never cuddled with me as much as she did this weekend.  Twice she curled up right next to me.
You can't possibly resist these puppy dog eyes.

Ryleigh spent a lot of time playing with this particular rope this weekend.  I'm not sure she even looked at another toy.
Check out Minaki sleeping in the background.  :-)

Ryleigh rolling around with her new favorite rope.
It is almost as big as her and probably weighs as much!  I don't know how she got it up onto the couch!

I did manage to get one good picture with all 4 of my pups!
Hardy is over on the loveseat by himself (he didn't think there was room for him on the couch (there was) and he was very upset about it)
And from top to bottom on the couch we have Minaki, Ryleigh, and Owen.  Owen has been quite a cuddler lately too.  Maybe I need to consider turning on my furnace soon...but not today!  It's practically summer again!

PAJAMA PARTY!!!

A coworker of mine recently adopted a pup of her own, so she and I regularly trade pictures of our cuties.  Last night she sent me a pic of her little guy snuggled under the covers, looking so cozy.  I immediately said to her that she should get him some jammies...and then I remembered, last time I was at the daycare I got some jammies in Ryleigh's size!  So of course I immediately put them on her, and it is the cutest/funniest thing I've ever seen.

She loved them so much that when I went to put her in her crate for the night, she ran right in and wouldn't come out for me to take them off!  I bet she was extra cozy.  :-)

Tug-of-War

I finally got an all dog match of tug-of-war! Ryleigh vs Hardy, so it was pretty evenly matched. They went a couple rounds before they both got bored, each winning a decent amount.

Super fun to watch!

P.S. how come Ryleigh hasn't been adopted yet? She's the cutest dog ever!

Fighting to the death...ok, not to the death...over an old rope

Hair Dying

Fear not - I did not dye the dogs hair.  Not intentionally, anyway.  After all the rain we had last week, my yard looked like a jungle.  So with the little bit of sunshine we had on Monday, I took the opportunity to mow the lawn...and then let the dogs out immediately after.

Minaki & Owen - green feet!

Ryleigh's green feet were the worst of all!

So, I ended up with 16 green paws (Hardy is not pictured).  Don't worry, by Tuesday they had cleaned it all off.

P.S. It is impossible to get a non-blurry shot of Ryleigh.  That bugger is always on the move!
