Taking puppy pictures results in capturing some really funny moments. Since I tend to rapid-fire take photos in order to get one good shot in 25 of squirmy babies I usually wind up getting a neat little story-board of puppy events. It is fun to be able to share some of these with you guys (when I can find the time). Unfortunately I woke up sick as a dog yesterday (where does that saying come from, anyway? My dogs are rarely sick. I am sick way more often. I wonder if they say ‘sick as a person’ when they fall ill?)
Due to being so incredibly ill I was not able to do the world’s greatest job uploading these little stories for you guys. But I’m here today to finish my posts (hopefully). Traffic is yucky out there so I find myself with a little time to spare.
So here are a few photo stories from the other day:
Story 1: Right, Left and in-between
Oh look! A child! Let’s go get a good snuggle!

All three little guys ran up to Evie to say hello… and then it was like they planned in advance. Instead of staying to get a pat they quickly divided up. You go on that side, you go on that side, and I’ll go right down the middle… it was pretty funny.

Story 2: Tree Climbing Puppies
Now I told you about our tree climbing little Praline.
*note* no, I didnt tell you about this. You’re not going nuts. This post was meant to be the second un a series but instead my sicky self only finished this one and posted it. Anyway Praline likes to climb trees.*
She got the idea from her brother Mongo. But he gave up. Not Praline, though. She went up the large trunks of several of our trees. Not exactly climbing like a bear but she is climbing better than I can! Admittedly I don’t climb trees very well.

-
What cha doing?
-
-
Hey, look. Maybe we can get up there.
-
-
Oh, that sounds exciting. There are squirrels up there
-
-
No luck on your side?
-
-
Hey! Why are you giving up? It has been like a minute. Come on!
-
-
I can dig you out of there, you know!!
-
-
*dig*dig*dig*
-
-
*sigh* fine… I’m going to find another tree to climb… without you
-
-
…meanie…
Story 3: Rude little sister!!
Maybe Praline is still irritated with Mongo for giving up on their tree climb? I’m not sure. But taking this set of photos cracked me up.
-
-
-
Comin’ through
-
-
Praline: “‘scuse me guys”
-
-
“hope I didn’t step on your face…”
-
-
Cocoa: “What… the…”
-
-
“did she just…”
-
-
Seriously?
-
-
Hey, Mongo… did you see that?
-
-
Mongo “No way I’m getting involved in this spat!”
Story 4: Cool Drink on a Hot Day
It was so very hot yesterday! The puppies were really enjoying their romps and walks with me in our yard. After a short time we offered them a nice, big bowl of cold water. I expected some thirsty puppies but the enthusiasm they show for food and water always makes me laugh.
-
-
My goodness!!!
-
-
Coming up for air Marzipan?
-
-
Goin’ back in
-
-
so…thirsty…
-
-
Can you spot the puppy face in this picture?
-
-
love the tongue
-
-
Going back in for more
-
-
More cute pink puppy tongues
-
-
Hello Cocoa
-
-
Little Praline tongue
-
-
Well bless you, Cocoa, for burping! So polite to turn away like that.
-
-
Oreo… do you really need to step into the bowl?
-
-
No, Oreo, you don’t. It wasn’t a question I intended you to answer.
-
-
And I didn’t need your answer in the form of you completely walking into the water dish
-
-
Yeah, it better be yummy because it is going to make you a mud-ball
-
-
Oh wait, you’re a smoothie so the mud won’t stick. Still, you’re a bad influence!!
Story 5: Puppy Love
And finally, after our water dish enjoyment, little miss Betsy (Cocoa) gave her sister Oreo (Pistachio) a mini bath. Very sweet sister moment. And serves you right, Oreo. You’re all wet from your swim in the water dish.
-
-
Yum
-
-
What?
-
-
-
Hello. Come on over for a drink
-
-
Oh, my, Oreo. You are dripping wet!
-
-
Let me dry you off a little.
-
-
Come back here, you’re still all wet
-
-
Just a bit here…
-
-
… and here…
-
-
…and right there…
-
-
Oh, and there too
-
-
Oreo is giving me that look like “I’m tolerating this bath, but barely”
-
-
Now she’s had enough
-
-
They agree that Oreo is dry enough for now
-
-
such sweet sisters
