The Dogs

Oh, The Dogs!

They are doing great! They are a bit bored during the day with 99% of my attention being on Drake. I do try very hard to give them attention & do things with them, but finding the time is a bit interesting. We try to take them to Pete & Mac's a few times a month to play & get their energy out. They absolutely LOVE it!! Especially Kenzie, we walk in the door & she goes absolutely insane!

Scout is such a good & sweet dog! He has really taken to Drake & is protective of him. He lays in the nursery when we are in there & if he is crying & I don't hear him right away he will come get me. If someone else is holding him he will come to me & then back to them as if he is saying "you need to get him". It amazes me how smart dogs are. Man, I love that dog!

So all dogs have their flaws. If begging is the one thing they do I can handle it. It does get a bit annoying when they are following you around the house or drooling a fountain on our leg while you are sitting at the table & their head is resting on your thigh. But what can you do, just like all relationships you have to pick your battles.

This picture is a bit blurry but it is Scout, Kenzie & our friend Mike's dog Corona playing in our backyard. All we have to do is say "Corona's coming over" & they both go nuts! They run from the back door to the front door a million times until she gets to the house. :)

Our "other kiddos".

They may as well be, they are just as much work as Drake. :)

Last week when we were going to bed Kenzie decided she wanted to get under our bed. She used to get under there all the time when we first brought her home, well she has grown a lot since then. I think she still thinks she is little though! My side of the bed is only a foot or so away from the wall & she can push against the wall to get under there. But then she couldn't get out! She ended up spending the entire night under the bed! She never whined or anything, just kept quite & slept. She had her head sticking out by Scout, I guess that's all she needed. The next morning Dustin had to lift the bed up for her to get out, crazy dog! She keeps us entertained that's for sure!
