3 Days of SNOW!!!

2012-01-20T23:10:00.000-08:00

We love snow but this week was CRAZY! The trees were falling, we had no magic light or heat!! Mom was watching her nük, which somehow allowed her to read a book with a night light. She did some knitting, dad kept the fire going and kept the drive way shoveled. He took Tanner with him last night to check out the and we saw flashing lights in the sky. The news later said it was transformers going. It was all kind of scary! Especially when the trees started falling!

In the beginning there were flurries!

They were easy enough to run thru...

But snow fell and people started salting and icing...

So mom put us in silly balloons to keep from getting hurt!?!

We braved the elements...

To dig up some fun (and find our silly ball)!

But we came up empty... our ball is lost!

But dad made magic balls that was like snow but round!

It disappeared when it hit the ground. We couldn't find it anywhere!

No matter how long and hard we dug!

After playing, we need to get warmed up and get ready for Seattle Sounder season.
(Mom just wanted us in scarves for a photo op)

Sunday morning

2012-01-08T09:12:00.001-08:00

Another morning on the hu-bed to take "rest our eyes" (as dad would say) Dad makes a wonderful pillow, everyone should get a Dad!

Merry Christmas #2

2012-01-04T16:08:00.000-08:00

Today was our family's Christmas! Having a merchant marine dad means that sometimes we don't celebrate holidays on time! 10 days late isn't so bad...

Our new game!

Which Tanner figured out in... SECONDS! Dad was disappointed a little.

He's too smart for his own good!

Look at all those presents!

Is that one for me too? ~Nala

I can't wear that... guess its your's dad!

Mmmmm Paper!

We like paper!

Are you using that dad?

Nom nom nom... must tear all paper!!!

Christmas festivities are exhausting!

I hope we don't do this tomorrow... we don't have energy!?!

Happy Holidays Everyone! We know this is late, but better late than never right? Be Safe!!

~Nala & Tanner

Happy New Year!!

2012-01-01T10:10:00.000-08:00

It's the first post of 2012... holy cow that means Tanner's 3rd Birthday is in 5 more days (he shares it with our hu-mom) maybe he'll be better behaved by then and won't get me in trouble as much.

Happy New Year!!

Daddy's Home!

2011-12-28T15:42:00.000-08:00

Mom took us to the airport to pick up our dad this morning (0700) way before breakfast!!! We were really happy to see him! Can you tell?

Tanner and Dad! He's finally home!!!

Nala loves her daddy too!

What comes next? Our Christmas in a few days!!

Merry Christmas

2011-12-25T07:59:00.000-08:00

This year, because Daddy's not home yet, we're going to have TWO Christmases! Mom let us open our TiTi Stephanie's Christmas presents (that's our Aunt/Godmother)

With our Ti Ti Stephanie

Can we open it yet?

Anything Good in There?

Get it Tanner!

Are you sure you got everything!?!

Thank-you, Ti Ti Stephanie, we Love it!

Merry Christmas Everyone! Be safe and have fun!

Mom thinks this comic about this funny yellow dog is really about Tanner, I couldn't agree more... he uses his wiles to get her and dad to do what he wants!

I hope Tanner's wiles gets us some more treats for Christmas (as I, Nala) have been put on the "Naughty List" after mom caught me sneaking and cleaning my training treat bag tonight!

2011-11-30T13:08:00.001-08:00

So our dad is back at sea for the howlidays and we miss him already! He won't be home till January so we're pouting until then (or when mom pulls out the treat ball)

Where's my daddy? I'm gonna pout until he's home.

Oh but I REALLY like the treat ball!

Num num num Treats... will pout later!

Yesterday we went to Molbak's for a photo with Santa Paws. The procedes benefitted the Seattle Humane Society! Here's Tanner hamming it up while we waited for Santa!

Dad was so excited about Santa he needed to sit down!

Our tree isn't up yet, but this one looks and smells good!

Who is that Gift for?

Me? I bet it is!!!

Missing Pet Partnership Active Searches: Kava

2011-11-15T00:56:00.000-08:00

Missing Pet Partnership Active Searches: Kava: Kava is a 4-month-old female Chocolate Lab missing in Lake Forest Park. She was last seen Saturday, 11/12, at about 2900 NE 178th St. Kels...

We are posting this because Nala was a lost puppy once for 32 days and the missing pet partners gave our hu-mom the tools and advice she needed to get her back. If you live in or near Lake Forest Park, be on the look out for this scared young chocolate lab! If you don't, maybe you could get your humans to repost this on their computers or social sites!

Maybe together we can get this puppy home!

Daddy's home... But only for a day!

2011-11-12T08:54:00.001-08:00

Dad came home at midnight and we only got a few minutes with him last night. But this morning, we spent a few more minutes in bed with him! He'll only be home till tomorrow :-(

I'll stay on his feet! ~Nala

Are you taking a picture of him or me?

I'm holding him down! ~Tanner

We love our Dad!

Full Circle Organic Fruits

2011-11-08T20:59:00.000-08:00

Mom gets veggies and fruits delivered once every 2 weeks, and usually they are full of stuff we can't eat, but sometimes they have things we LOVE! This week came with apples and carrots... two things we really love!

is that what I think it is?

It's a carrot!!!

Did you say carrot? I want one too!

nom nom nom

Baby it's cold outside....

2011-11-06T09:55:00.000-08:00

We went out this morning for morning play and man was it a bit nippy out there. Mom said it was freezing... we're not sure if that's a real weather term though we were quite cold.

Tanner: "There's stuff down here!"

Why is everything a funny color?

That cold stuff is up here too.. and on Mom's tree!

Mom had a Women's Conference in Seattle's Key Arena Friday and Saturday, so we went to the Downtown Dog Lounge for the night. We got home at 6pm yesterday and we're still EXHAUSTED!!!

Tanner on the couch.

Nala on the bed.

Maybe we'll be ready to play tomorrow! Mom is planning on taking us to Petco to get treats for shelter dogs. Our friends The Woos showed us their treat jar on Saturday so we'll show you ours now and then run and take some treats to the Kent Animal Shelter tomorrow just in time for Halloween.

Have a safe Halloween dogs and kitties and don't accept treats from strangers unless your humoms say its ok!

Pit Bull Awareness Day

2011-10-22T20:44:00.000-07:00

My life with flyball dogs: Pit Bull Awareness Day:

October 22nd is National Pit Bull Awareness Day. I will be spending it in Auburn, WA, a town with Breed Specific Legislation (BSL). Or rathe...

Just a very enlightening blog post that we felt should be repeated. Considering we could be considered a bully breed or even a dangerous dog depending on how tired we are and who looks at us!

Rainy Day Entertainment

2011-10-11T23:05:00.000-07:00

We are not rainy day dogs! Luckily we have a mom who helps us forget its rainy by giving us things to do like play hide and go seek, (she always hides and we have to find her though) and she puts treats in toys that are tough to get out! Luckily with our big front window, watching the rain fall is also entertaining and exhausting!

Nala working on her treats

Tanner's got a harder puzzle to solve!

Come out cookies! Come out now!

No kitties out there. Its too wet for them too!

First Fall Morning

2011-09-26T10:25:00.001-07:00

After an afternoon at Dogtoberfest in Fremont, we're dog tired! This morning is rainy and we don't like that much so we'll just nap.

Dogtoberfest in Fremont

2011-09-25T17:40:00.000-07:00

We all (humans included) went to the Dogtoberfest in Fremont. Mom went to try to get Tanner to become a Cover Model for her favorite magazine City Dog. Dad went to try new beers! In fact there were a few new beers he's adding to his regular favorites. We sniffed a lot of butts and made our way through the crowds trying to get some curly fries (Mom was a hawk) Nala was real nervous but Dad thinks its good practice for not just her but for people to realize not all skittish dogs are abused. Tanner was super friendly and got pet A LOT!

Our favorite part: People thought Nala and I were a breed of our own! The fun began when people tried to tell us what they thought we were! Most Common: part Ridgeback, part Pitt, part Shepherd, part lab!

Dad and I! We were at the Movin' 92.5 tent! I rolled over for a treat bag!

They even let us take a family picture too!

Bones filled with CHEESE!

2011-09-14T20:26:00.001-07:00

Our favorite pastime!

Dad we're ready!

We're sittin' like we're supposed to!

Nala's got her bone filled with cheese!

Tanner does too!

Tanner's tired of football...

New Bat Toys

2011-09-01T13:05:00.000-07:00

So our mom has a Bat obsession (once you get past her dog obsession) which means when Halloween toys start coming into stores... our mom buys them by the case!

The black and orange bat, we've gotten in the past. The Green is new this year for us!

Crinkle wings are the best!

No its Mine.

Sharing Means Caring... Right Nala?

2011-08-23T20:27:00.000-07:00

It was such a nice afternoon that after the rain stopped we got a chance to play in the yard! Mom brought out the Frisbee which Nala likes to think is her's but we were told to share. Here's our sharing skills!

"Hey Nala, this is supposed to be a sharing exercise!" ~Tanner

Bring the Frisbee to Mom

Man, that sun is bright!

"Come my way Tanner, I want to go this way with it!" ~ Nala

While Tanner was "resting his eyes," Nala and Mama were out in the backyard playing with the new frisbee! It also has a built in light so we can play with it at night. We had one before so mom and dad went to REI to get us a new one!

Weird Ball in Yard!?!

2011-07-18T12:38:00.000-07:00

Mom and Nala found this weird ball in our yard! We don't know how to play with it or what it is for... Mom kept kicking it but its too big to pick up with a mouth!?!

Weird Ball

What do we do with it?

It smells kind of funny. It doesn't have fur on it like our other balls!?!

Squirrel?

New Toy

2011-07-12T18:43:00.000-07:00

So Mama lost my favorite toy/treat dispenser. But because she was feeling bad, she got me one new toy last night. Unfortunately for Mom, I'm food motivated and it took me 5 minutes to figure this new toy out. (It took Nala 10 with smaller treats)

This is Jolly Pets Monster Mouth 4" for Medium to Large Dogs

Nala working on the first New Toy.

Nala concentrating really hard!

Today Mama got me "Linkables" and I'm not having an easy time getting my treats out! (In my defense it's my first time and there are no big holes just a few little ones. This just means when it's rainy out, mom has something for us to work on!

New Busy Buddy Linkables (next to our indoor Chuckit! Donut)

What's that Tanner? ~ Nala

But we'd like a moment of silence for our missing friend. Hopefully we'll find you!

New Dog Park

2011-07-08T16:32:00.000-07:00

Today mom took us to Issaquah to do a good deed (she donated blood) and we went too! We also tried out a new dog park! Mom likes to try out dog parks near her favorite places that way she knows where she can bring us along too!

The Dog park is about 200 feet down the road from this sign!

Tanner LOVES the tall grass!

Nala loves FREEDOM!

Look more space over here!

Mom likes that there's a gazebo for her (and us) if the sun was out!

Gazebo plus a small dog area at the far end. A few benches to sit on if parents get tired!

Look more tall grass!

Tanner loving on tall grass!

There's a doggy water fountain, right next to a people fountain!

Some signs outside the dog park!

Tanner's New Moon Chair

2011-07-05T15:12:00.000-07:00

Mom and Dad got Me (Tanner) a new moon chair! I took over my parents' chair a few years ago... and then it got all mildewy so they had to get rid of it! I've been without a chair for a while but look what they returned home with after going shopping! It's a new chair for me!

My old chair!

New Chair! Not as big as my old but ALL MINE!

Nala isn't too thrilled with my new chair!

Happy 4th of July!

2011-07-04T17:46:00.000-07:00

Now we'll admit that we're not big fans of this day. Not that humans shouldn't be happy about their Independence but the fireworks are another story! Really do we need them EVERYWHERE? Some of us (at least Nala and Tanner) are trying to relax and get some rest.

The poppers started early this morning but that's to be expected on such a day! But Mom got up and put some clothes on and took us away from the noise! We went on a few trips to tire us out before the worst of the festivities begins. We started at Starbucks (Dad needed his Venti Americano) and our day started at the Reber Ranch Dog Park! Afterwards, we hit Lake Wilderness for a little swimming and grass rolling and ended up at Issaquah's Petco because Poo Poo Point trail was crazy busy! Mom got Nala a calming collar which seems to be helpful in the house (that and all the pre-popper stuff) so now we're chillin' couch-side napping our afternoon away. There are some scary noises out there but at least we have our Mom and Dad and that seems to be helping a lot!

That turquoise collar is the calming thing. Even if the pheromone isn't working, the Lavendar Chamomile smell probably helps Nala some.

This morning was too much excitement for us!

Hope you all have a safe 4th of July! Stay away from poppers and always go back to you Humoms and dads!

Not a Dog's Best friend!

Another Camping Trip!?!

2011-06-29T16:35:00.001-07:00

Ok so we're all still really tired and we got our "Humom" to load photos from out latest trek! This time we went into the woods of the Orca Islands. (2 hours north and about 1.5 of ferry before we got there... thats a lot of time for 2 dogs in the car) We stayed in Moran State Park by Cascade Lake. Nala of course was nervous, and Tanner did lots of sniffing and swimming while mom and dad canoed! We saw several deer (which Tanner scared away) near our site, and on our walks.

Look where we're going!

Hey, Where's Nala?

Nala?

There she is! Why were you hiding?

Looking on Cascade Lake, near where our campsite was!

Wedding and Camping

2011-05-30T08:30:00.001-07:00

Woah, it's been awhile since we wrote! That's because we went to Moab, UT for a wedding and right after we went camping in the desert. I (Tanner) wore a tie my mom got for me to look good and Nala wore a flower but she was so scared it broke free! You know what made this trip fun? The hotel room! We got to sleep on the bed at a hotel! We went hiking, climbed some rocks that scared Dad, Mom and Nala but it was fun! Oh, and there were scary cows and working dogs (they actually have to do stuff... not just roll over and shake hands!?!) that almost trampled our campsite. Those working dogs worked fast though!!! They kept the cows from our tent which would have been really scary! All in all we were exhausted at the end of it because there were new smells, and there wasn't much grass for Nala to go potty!

On our way to Utah

2011-05-19T08:40:00.000-07:00

I've been in the car now for 4 hours and still going strong! Only dad and I haven't napped yet...the girls have taken several. I like this traveling stuff and soon we'll be at a wedding and on to camping! I can't wait to mark...

2011-05-06T14:40:00.000-07:00

Normally, Tanner gets all the fun backyard photos because he is more outgoing than me! Today however, I was really excited about the ball and mom seemed to be enthralled with the 1 (and only 1) ball that I was willing to run, get and halfway fetch. (fetch= in drop said ball a few feet away but I did bring it back... most of the way)

Cold fall day

2010-11-18T13:36:00.000-08:00

Nala was a bit cold for her noon time walk, so I put a sweater on her in case the sun didn't last! But I'd like say I'm NOT a dog dresser-upper. She just doesn't have an undercoat and not much meat on the bones to keep her warm so we're going into the "she may need a sweater" season!

Due to high wind gusts, we get to sleep on the bed because Mom's puppy monitor isn't working! Yay us!

Fall Day

2010-11-13T21:49:00.000-08:00

A fall morning walk before the kids were out to get their buses!

Snow Day

2010-10-27T14:40:00.000-07:00

Mom and Dad took us up to Crystal Mountain to play in the snow! I (Tanner) have not played in deep snow before... and it was so much fun! Did you know you can eat it? Roll in it? Hide in it? Who knew snow was so much fun! It snowed this past week in the high places and that's where they took us!

2 years...TODAY!

2010-10-24T20:41:00.000-07:00

Two years ago today, we picked up Nala at the Puget Sound Rescue... since entering our lives, she's been one big hand full. Being shy, it took some time for her to come to love us (it didn't help that we lost her for a few days! 32 to be exact) but here we are 2 years later and she's still going strong... and finally LOVES us! OK just mama and dadda sometimes! Here's some photo's of her thru the years...

Studying for the Big Exam

2010-10-14T22:01:00.000-07:00

Now that dad's home and I'm rested, I decided it would be a fun idea if I were to help dad study! I don't know what test he's taking, but he knows "sit" and "down" so it must not be a tough test! Eventually Tanner decided he was going to try to help too, but he's not sure what dad's studying either so we just stared at him.

Later in the day (like right after dinner) mom took us to this scary place called church to get our photos taken! Needless to say I didn't like it very much. There were strangers and people everywhere! Mom kept me company away from them though so that helped a little, but the man behind the camera was scary so I looked awful in those pictures! Mom says you're not allowed to see the pictures until Christmas cards are sent so you won't get to see them yet.

Well it's late, time to go in the kennel!

Sooo Tired...

2010-10-12T09:51:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile since we've posted mostly because mom and dad left us alone at a place called the Downtown Dog Lounge (DDL for short) for the weekend. They went to a place called Maine to play with other dogs called Grady, Molly and Sam. Those dogs live near our Bump (grandpa) and gramma's house! They went someplace called Umma to see our uncle Richard but didn't think they'd want us to tag along (they mostly didn't want me, Nala, because I get scared a lot) But now we're back and after that extra long weekend (5 whole days) we're back and sleepier than ever! Luckily mom and dad let us have the couch... (just so you know, they usually do)

Give a dog a bone for us,
Nala & Tanner

Welcome Home Dad!

2010-10-03T21:45:00.000-07:00

For those of you who don't know, my dad is a merchant marine (sailor not in the military) so he can be gone sometimes for a really, REALLY, REALLY long time! With work behind him for a few weeks, Dad made it home to spend some time us (and mom too) but I was so excited that I couldn't stay away for a good few minutes!

I'm going to go jump on Dad some more!

Sleepy Tanner

Nala, Mom and her friend Heidi went with me on a walk! They let me walk off leash for a bit. We wanted to go swimming (ok... I wanted to go swimming) but their was sign on the lake that said we couldn't! That didn't stop me, I got to run off leash all the way home! Now I'm tired... and looking out for kitties...

Stole Tanner's Chair

2010-09-22T19:56:00.000-07:00

Yeah, that's right, I stole Tanner's chair! Nobody stopped me but Mama caught me doing it.

Mom went to Disney....

2010-09-09T08:28:00.000-07:00

... and all we got were these lousy dog tags? She has tons of photos with other dogs but couldn't bring us back a bone or something?

Mom do I look impressed... b/c I'm not!

Mom, I'll wear mine with pride... while you hold that cookie above that camera!

I think they are cute... I don't know about these dogs... they are just silly or just jealous! At least Pluto made me pizza!?!

Hiking Poo Poo

2010-07-14T19:10:00.001-07:00

We went for a hike today up to Poo Poo Point (don't ask us about the name) but we climbed it! Mom and Dad went slower than we would have liked but it was fun!After, we needed some extra naps!

Waiting for Dad to get home...

Swimming Dog?

2010-06-29T14:40:00.000-07:00

We're not sure if he's really swimming or just cheating. When he got to the edge of the shallow thing, he panicked... so maybe we'll get him some swim lessons because this mama doesn't have non-swimming children... fur-babies are no exception!

Just In!

Not everyone can adopt a pet right now, but everyone can help Animal Rescues and Animal Shelters by purchasing these cute stamps. Just by purchasing these stamps and putting them on your letters, bills, etc, you are promoting a social awareness, reminding people that these animals need our help!

I got my 2 panes today in the mail, go get yours today!

After 2 days at day care. After Nala steeping on his head, Tanner too tired to sniff out the window, let alone keep his head up!
