2012 Easter Egg Hunt

This year we decided Uncle Puppy needed to have a little fun so we brought him with us to the 2nd annual Calloway County Humane Society Easter Egg Hunt!!!

Are we there yet?

We have arrived!

While grandma was filling out our registration forms we were scoping out the doggies.

The first set of doggies we saw were these two odd furry furiends. They were the smallest and largest in attendance so they had their picture taken for the website.

Then look who this big dog found. He hunted and found the EASTER BUNNY! Good doggie!

Then look what we spotted. Its a baby Fiona. How cool milk bones is that?

Alright now for you viewing pleasure a collage of cute doggies. Enjoy!

This is an Aussie-doodle. He was 4 months old.

Uncle Puppy had a fun time doggie watching. He found a nice sunny spot and plopped down.

While the boys continued to doggy watch I headed over to the Creative Corner...

They were doing all sorts of doggy make overs.

I got some pretty pink nail Pawlish and an nail applique. Its a tiny flower to match my dress.

Just as I finished my nails the Easter Bunny called all the doggies attention to announce that the hunt was about to begin. We headed for the little dogs ring.

The first egg we found was a big orange egg.

Then I found a shiny purple egg. From the moment I saw this one I had a good feeling about it.

Whoops almost missed this one!

Uncle Puppy found his first egg. It was a blue one.

Together Uncle Puppy and I found another orange egg.

Then we found a green one!

Bobo was growing impatient and asked if it was his turn yet.

As momma helped him out he spotted...

...one blue egg and...

...an orange one! Good work Brother!!!

Whew that was a pawsome time!

Then each of us posed with our basket of Easter eggs.

Smile!

Bobo's turn

Uncle Puppy your supposed to look at the camera!

Lets find a shady spot and open our eggs.

What did we get...What did we get?

Told ya I had a good feeling about this egg! We won a designer Humane Society Pet Bandana.

After we picked up our bandana we recycled our eggs. Gotta recycle its the responsible thing to do!

Then we headed fur the car.

We would like to give a big shout out and high paw to the Calloway County Humane Society for hosting and the Easter Bunny for attending. We had a blast!

Once we got home Bobo asked "Does the Easter bunny leave gifts like Santa Paws?" I though well yea he does. Seems as though he has never visited us or left gifts before. So I sat on the porch and pondered this for a bit. Then it hit me we have never left out treats for him like we have Santa Paws. Poor Bunny probably passed our house over for one with treats. He must get hungry vising so many houses! So....

We left our Easter Baskets out along with Bunny treats and Buttercup to ensure no crazy cockapoo eats the Bunny's treats.

Hopefully this will be enough to entice him to our house!!!! We shall pupdate you on the situation tomorrow.

Hoppy Easter,
Mollie Jo, Bobo, Buttercup & Uncle Puppy

In Marshall County on a Mission

On a nice partly cloudy day we headed out to the Marshall County Co-op. We were on a mission.

We brought Buttercup and she most enjoyed the toy aisle.

Then she found the fuzzy kennel mats. Oh she was in heaven!!!!

Meanwhile, we were checking out the rawhide.

Oh my dog these smell SO good!

As we headed up to the front we heard some odd noises coming from these large black bins.

Momma put me in the basket and oooh duckies!

And oooh chickens!

Ah what we came for. See ever since we got Buttercup we have been worried that she might get lost like Lilac. To ensure she will be returned in the event she does become lost we got her an ID tag.

She is furry proud of her new tag!

So remember to put ID tags on all pets and stuffie buddies....Its their ticket home!

Wags and Licks,
Mollie Jo, Bobo and Buttercup

Wild Week and a Half

This place, Flanary Vet Clinic, has been the topic of many a conversations in our house for a week and a half. See momma is nearing the end of her college classes and is kinda looking for a job. So she decided to contact Dr. Flanary and see if there were any openings. Well as a matter of fact there was a part time opening for a kennel hand. So momma accepted the 2 week position. Friday March 23 she went for her first day. All she did that day was typing and computer work for Dr. Flanary but she said it was fun. Then she got the low down of the kennel hand position. It would be for the next two weeks, part time to clean kennels, feed dogs and walk dogs. Our fosters were great training for her so she though she could handle that. BOL! She would also be helping Dr. Flanary with some typing projects.

Come Monday March 26th momma got up furry early got ready and left before we even rolled outta bed. She worked hard learning the routine and learning where everything was located. There were lots of little doggies to care for in the boarding suite. This little guy caught mommas attention cause he was so wiggly and sweet. His name is Spunky.
Momma also had big dogs to take care of and this doggies name is Lilly. She was a high energy dog but very well trained!

And by 10am momma had finished with her kennel duties. Dr. Flanary showed her the typing work she needed done. First was to make an animal data base, then to make info sheets for all the baby goats (Dr. Flanary also has a farm and breeds goats, rabbits, and pigs), and then retype some tests for the clinic. Dr. Flanary was impressed with her speed and said she would have more work tomorrow for her.

Wait! Why is there another pic of Spunky in here. Golly she sure did like taking pics of him. I think momma is getting attached to this boarding dog. Hard not to I guess...For a Chihuahua he is kinda cute. Momma noticed that his card was different than the rest of the boarding dogs in that he didn't have a go home date or much info at all. Momma asked Morgan (the vet tech that was showing her around) about him and she explained that Spunky had been boarding since JANUARY, and he pawrents keep putting off his pick up date. Poor pup! At least he is being taken well care of...Especially now that momma is there. She gives him extra attentions.

As Tuesday morning rolls around momma asked if we wanted to go bye bye with her. Whoa puppies we hopped outta bed and headed straight fur the car! A bye bye ride before work is a rare thing! But things went south not too long after we left our drive way. See momma had an arterial motive. Seems as though she had decided to take us with her to vet clinic. What the heck?!?!?!?

So she stuffs us in this cage and goes to the back to do her kennel duties. Uh momma I can't see cause of this huge clipboard in my face! Hours upon hours later she returns to snatch Bobo from the kennel and (I shudder as I say this) leaves me behind! So as she shuts the door on me and secures it I bit her. Yep you read it right I bit her on her finger. That should teach her to leave me behind.

Bobo you may tell of what she did to you now.

Thanks Mollie. Well after momma snatched me outta the kennel she put me in a tub...similar to a bath tub....pretty scary thing here at the vet clinic. Then she told me what she planned on doing. She was going to BATHE ME....right here in the clinic. What on earth made her think of such torture!?!?!?

I let her know how sad this made me....

...but she proceeded to turn on the water and grab the big bottle of soap.

EEEK That water is COLD!

I'll take it from here Bobo.

After the longest time momma returns to get me. She asked if I was sorry that I bit her. I replied "NO". So then she bathed me in this tub in the vet clinic. Furry scary!

After our torturous baths she takes us to the boarding suite and puts us next to the Chihuahua. Could this day get any worse?!?!?

You bet your kibble it can. Momma snatched Bobo again and took him to the front. As she closed and secured the door I had to bite her again. Apparently she didn't get it the first time. She took him to get his nails cut, glands expressed and ears cleaned. She then returned swapped Bobo for me and it was my turn to get the nails, glands and ears done. Boy she is walking a fine line!

Hours later she said it was finally time to go home! Thank dog. We busted out!

As we were napping we overheard a conversation about Uncle Puppy's appointment that afternoon for nails, glands and ears. Oh my dog.

Uncle Puppy says "Why u gotta torture a sweet innocent boy?"

Uncle Puppy you ain't seen the worst of it till you have to take a bath at the vet clinic. And yep we had to go with him to his appt. grrr!

Although we did get gourmet treats so the second visit wasn't too bad.

So Wednesday, Thursday, and the following Monday momma went back to the clinic to do her kennel and typing duties. She also will work this coming Wednesday. She is hoping it turns into a more permanent position but for now as she is finishing college she will take anything she can get.

Wags and Licks,
Mollie Jo & Bobo

Note from the momma: I have had a blast working at the clinic. Like Mollie said I hope this will turn into a permanent position but for now I am happy to be part time. I love working with the dogs and doing all the typing for Dr. Flanary. I am so thankful for this opportunity.

Pee Ess: I still am not sorry for biting momma...she deserved it!
-Mollie Jo!
