Cassius the SPAZZ

Cassius, being a boxer is genetically predisposed to being a complete dork. In this video you can see how much of a dork he actually is. This video dipicts Cassius trying to get Beck's attention and as you will see she could care less as long as he doesn't get close to her nyla bone.

The dogs usually crash soon after the spazz out session.

Happy Halloween

Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday.



On my way home from work I stopped off at Susie and Wayne's to pick up Dre so he could play with Beck and Cassius for the evening. I got the dogs dressed in their costumes and went out to the front porch for the photo shoot.

Dogs Do Funny Things

I wanted to post a couple of cute photos that we have taken over the last couple of days. The picture of Beck with the super long tongue is too funny. My friend Jodane gave me/us this funny toy that is a tongue with a ball at the end. The dogs like to pick up the ball end and then they look completely hilarious because they have this giant tongue hanging out of their mouth.



The picture of Cassius with the pumpkin t-shirt reflects a JoAnn Fabrics super sale deal. The shirt didn't cost much and it will actually help keep Cassius warm over the winter. The added bonus is the entertainment value!

The last photo is a snap shot of the pups snuggled together in Beck's crate. This photo was a reenactment of actual events. They will both squeeze into the crate while Mike or I work on the computer, it is pretty cute.

This last photo may cause me to need reconstructive facial surgery. Cassius is usually really good about letting me put costumes on him, but I am afraid I pushed the limit with this one. Is it me or do his eyes say something like, "I swear I am going to bite you in your sleep mom."

Eagle Fire Department Open House

Today was the annual Eagle Fire Department Open House. Each year Eagle Fire Station 1 opens its doors to the public for the day. The community comes in for tours, plays on the engines, medic, & brush rigs; and interacts with a variety of emergency service personnel. There were representatives from Ada County Paramedics, Treasure Valley Search Dogs, and the Ada County Sherriffs office. I met up with my friends Deb and Susie and their little ones: Walker, Chase and Olivia. Mike was stationed at one of the engines and right before we left for the day we were lucky enough to watch him cut apart a car with the jaws of life. Mike was in his element because he was able to talk fire all day.

Sunday Afternoon

It seems like everyone in the house is asleep this afternoon and I must mention that I am slaving away in the kitchen making a delicious chicken dinner as well as chocolate chip cookies that we will eat with Susie, Wayne, Walker, Olivia, and Dre this evening. I must give Beck some credit, at least she is keeping the yard free of squirrels and stray cats.

Check out the proof.....

Beck the Sewing Assistant

The other night while Mike was at the fire station I started working on a new sewing project. As soon as the pattern paper came out Beck quietly snuck over and laid down. This is her way of telling me that I have not paid enough attention to her, but then again she can never get enough love.

Cassius Goes Into Hibernation

Every year the leaves on the trees start changing color and the temperature in Boise starts to drop. About the same time the changes start outside, Cassius starts to hibernate. Cassius is more difficult to rouse in the morning and he actually looks forward to putting on his sweaters. I snapped this picture the other morning. I woke up and found that he had made his way into Beck's crate during the night. He was a pathetically shivering so I tucked him in with a blanket.
