Have a doggone good weekend

I'm practicing my role as a dancing Ewok
I'm practicing my role as a dancing Ewok, originally uploaded by Rubber Slippers In Italy

Via Flickr: He said that if there should ever be a remake of the first Star Wars trilogy, he wants to audition for a part as one of the Ewoks. A little padding around the middle and costume work on the ears (if they can do Spock) and he just might have a doggone good shot at nabbing a role.

The Master Lizard Hunter

Second day of a 4-day weekend and the munkeys are, as usual, up to no good (as if they ever are up to ANY good, period). We cleared out the tulip patch and now it's “free-for-all” between the two in Who Can Catch and Kill the Most Lizards. The westie has determination, patience and years of hunting experience, but the doxie is more into reward-driven activities, a mentality of you-scratch-my-back-and-I'll-scratch-yours, if you will. When he was a puppy I used to give him empty plastic water bottles because it was a great game to bite off the caps. Nowadays, he takes a second to rip the caps off and afterwards has a bored look as if to say “seriously, is that ALL you can come up with?”

JuMp!

Mr. B appears to be in fine fettle - he'd make an excellent ewok. Hope 2- and 4-footed all have a great holiday weekend.

TK - it's that bushy beard! The kids will probably pop up on these pages a lot more as summer rolls along.

Bella - from one dog lover to another, the "kids" will always steal the spotlight. I bet Roxy makes your sitemeter shoot through the roof whenever she appears in a post ^-^

Fern - if we can see a bit more of the sun I'd be grateful....the lawn needs to be mowed!

Kat - I was tempted to change from "dinosaur" template to the updated version but...at the last minute just couldn't do it. So I fixed the color and column placement to satisfy the need to "rearrange the furniture".

Nate - they kill'em and that's it. I sweep up the mess from the terrace. Good thing no snakes in my yard, because I know they would not hestitate to catch it.

Need your kids over here. Heard about the new kind of lizards we have now - ugly brown, black kind? Had a story about them in Kokua Line.

Nate - the kids would go nuts if they ever moved there. Mynah birds, lizards big or small, mice, rats....their terrier bloodline would kick in and all hell would break loose. That's why I gotta keep them behind a fence or if on a hike, on leash wherever we go.

Hi there. Since you left a comment on my blog (thank you so much!), I had to stop by and visit you as well. Your little 4-legged friends are cutie-pies! Although my heart belongs to doxies, that little westie of yours is a heart-stealer too!

My westie has not grown up as he still loves to crunch water bottles and toss them around!

Candylei - my two are rotten to the core! Plastic bottles? What's that mom? You think we're toddlers or something? Now bare dirt and lizards...that's more their speed.
