Strange things lurking....................Have a Happy Monday!

This picture was actually on Halloween..we went out the front door. We NEVER go out that door. Well, Mom does, to get the things in the box that are fun to open or if that truck leaves us a box of goodies.
I am not sure about the stuff I found out front. Are they always there? Why do we need the hay anyway? Do you think they have animals out front that eat the hay?? Animals other than me???Is that possible?? I may need to do some looking around and see who or what is living out front. Maybe that is why they never take me out that door....hmmmm.
What do you think? What else will I find??

Happy Howl-O-Ween!

Licks and Tail Wags--

OLIVE :)

Thank You CocoRue!

THANK YOU CocoRue!

Thank you friend for this award! I feel so bad that I have not been able to blog much lately. I have missed you all and promise to stop by and visit everyone in the next day or so.

It has been an uneventful week really...Mom has been working more, the kids are busy with school and band.

Did you catch the Yankees this week?? Wow!! Check them out tonight..even if you are not a fan :)

More rain in Texas too...so walks are wet and muddy! I love it!! I try to roll around in the puddles when Mom is not looking!

Stay dry and GO YANKEES!

It's Me..Olive!

Look..I am everywhere!

I lost Monday again....sigh

Oh Where ..Oh where..has another week gone?

***I am so sorry everyone...we still have to set up the network this week..So I have no pictures right now for you. Do you remember what I look like?

Until I can get Mom to set everything up...here is a little something for you to ponder....hmmm...

10 Reasons Why It's Great to be a Dog

1. If it itches, you can reach it. And no matter where it itches, no one will be offended if you scratch it in public.
2.No one notices if you have hair growing in weird places as you get older.
3.Personal hygiene is a blast: No one expects you to take a bath every day, and you don't even have to comb your own hair.
4.Having a wet nose is considered a sign of good health.
5.No one thinks less of you for passing gas. Some people might actually think you're cute.
6.Who needs a big home entertainment system? A bone or an old shoe can entertain you for hours.
7.You can spend hours just smelling stuff.
8.No one ever expects you to pay for lunch or dinner. You never have to worry about table manners, and if you gain weight, it's someone else's fault.
9.It doesn't take much to make you happy. You're always excited to see the same old people. All they have to do is leave the room for five minutes and come back.
10.Every garbage can looks like a cold buffet to you.

Okay....I think I may have lost a week.....

Barks to you all.....and many apologies for not blogging this week :(

The week really went so fast...every chance I had to blog..Mom got busy or something came up.

My boy that plays that large drum had a regional competetition on Saturday and they............WON! First place and best Visual and General Effect! We are so very proud of him!!

I have a new pc to blog on now and dont have it all the way set up yet..we will finish that in the next few days.

I did get a new leash..my new Lupine! I am so excited to chew it ..ahem.I mean try it out :)

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Monday?? Where did you go?

Maybe Monday is over there........
I wonder if it fell down there.................


Wow..Tuesday is here and almost over. It has been hectic and full of activity around here. We met lots of new dogs and their people this weekend! I love to meet the people..one man even asked me for kisses!!!

We had some great walks and today we got caught in the rain. We were out pretty far too and I started running. The rain was so hard and it was sooooooo windy. Mom thought for sure she would fall...she was fine, I watched out for her.

We have many Howlween decorations up around the house...some are very noisy and I want to chew them up!

Have a great week and please everyone stay safe and on your leash!

Have a "Wooferful" Weekend! Don't forget..Polls are Open!

Happy October!

"There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face."- Ben Williams

We are having that beautiful rain on this first day of October. We walked a long time in the rain and I found many worms...yummm! Mom refused to take a picture of them. Hmph!

Mom is getting the house ready for this thing she calls Howllean? You guys know anything about this? Lots of those orange balls around she calls pumpkins and a few things that I had to bark at.

Hope you have your face licked by a dog or cat today!

Almost Wordless Wednesday...Squeaky Olive

**Olive's mom here! Howdy everyone and Happy Wednesday!! I thought I would share this video of Ollie(my nickname for her ). It is my first sad attempt at doing this for you..so I will work on it and be sure to step away from the PC next time..you can hear the fan and it is loud. My apologies. Enjoy the short , but squeaky video of our Olive :)**

Walkin' Wednesdays will be back next week!! My advice for today..go for a walk!

Today is Tuesday...Right???

What happened to Monday? I think I may have walked right past it....
We had a great time at the park today..it was sunny and warm

I was feeling more like just hanging out and watching all of my peeps :)

Mom took this pic of me in the car in the garage..on one of our many, many trips out to the store, pick up the kids...post office, sheesh..where don't we go??

Hope you had a wooferful day!

Everyone is healthy and feeling fine at our house, so now I have all my playmates back!!

Weekend Wishes...

I hope everyone has had a great weekend!! I am so sorry I have been MIA the last few days. It has been a hectic weekend for the family. Our family was a bit sick too again toward the end of the week.

We had a game on Friday night so we get home late from those games. Then there was this thing where the kids marched all over the town..all day on Saturday.Lot's of walking!

Saturday night...Mom worked..so that means I slept a lot.

Sunday I woke up and my tummy was very upset. I know I did not eat anything ..weird. So,I took it easy today. Mom took me for a little walk and we watched the Yankee game.

GO YANKEES!

Just a Reminder....VOTE FOR OLIVE!!!

***Please be sure to vote for your favorite ears......now they don't have to be mine..although I would love if it you voted for my ears..but all of you have cute ears too.***

In case you forgot what my ears look like, please take a moment to look around the blog...I have so many ear looks :)

Perhaps you need a little persuasion.......I know what worked for Pedro....

Mysterious Ducks and Olive in Wonderland...

We searched all over for the ducks at the park..then all of a sudden..here they come.

All at once all together the ducks just came walking toward the water! I still have no idea where they came from. They are a mystery to me...

Rabbits are not ..I know where they are. They are in a hole in our backyard now!! Baby bunnies and a Mommy in a rabbit hole. Actually I think I sniffed out two holes...

Between the mushrooms large enough to sit under and the rabbit hole..well, I feel a bit like..

Olive in Wonderland

Walkin' Wednesdays!

Come on Mom..grab the treats and the leash please..let's go!

(see..I am giving her "the look".....)

Hmmm..I smell something ..THERE..Need to get it!!

She always gets a picture of me with my tongue sticking out..how does she do that??

Awww, poor doggies..they were barking a lot at me as I walked by.. Those dogs have a great life ...they live on the next street over from us and their owners set up A perfect dog retreat back there.....Lucky Little Doggies

I met a new friend today..Charlie!! Does he look like someone you know??? He sure smells good.

Charlie is a bit older..by about 7 and a half years. We must be related..look at that profile.

Hope you have a great walk today and get some exercise...playtime in the yard is good but walking down the street is great! So many wonderful smells and people to meet! I love the people...I know they love me, they all come to the park to see me, right?

Here is a great article, full of tips for puppies, --Dog Walking 101
Dog walking for me is still a work in progress...Mom is very patient with me and lets me get my "smelling" in then we walk ..walk ...walk...then smell again...back and forth a bit.I love stopping for treats and water..yummm. I also love to run along side Mom..and now that it has been cold outside..I don't drool and pant as much :) Yes I said..Cold!! 58 for the low..can you believe it?? I know it won't last ..have to love it while we can!

Here's to cool weather and happy walking!
Cheers!

Who Me? Couldn't Be....

Does that picture make it look like maybe I was the one that took the cookies?

Mom baked these yummy cookies and left them on the counter for a dog to see....what else could I do?

Just one taste...that was REALLY all I wanted.

It was worth it....I would do it again.

Are You Ready for Some Pawball?? Mums the word!!

Sunday...Sunday...seems like every Sunday..well this weekend, Saturday too..the family is gathered around the big black screen watching this game again they call football...I still see no feet playing...very odd.I decided to try and play the game..so I grabbed one of the humans footballs and took to the field! Yes, my field has a big blue star...I live in a house with Cowboys...Cowboys Fans that is. That too...Cowboys..yet I see no cows.

Touchdown!


So..I tackle the pawball right?

This is the new stadium..we took this picture before it was finished last Spring..think I will be asked to play there soon..for Pawball Season :)

I also helped Mom make these things they call ...Mums. Now we used no mums..just lots of ribbons, glue..bells and oh I wanted it all..just wanted to dive into the basket of things and go wild!! Mom did make a small one for me..but she hung it up in case I got too wild. She wanted me be sure to tell you...she is not a "Mum" Mom..she never did this in the North where she is from..Mums went in the ground and were pretty to look at in the fall. Mums are a bit different in Texas. :)

GO COWBOYS!

Splash Down!-Updated..Where is Foxie?

Looks like my friend..Foxie.. had a "pawesome" birthday!! Here she is with her new toys!! Her new splash balls and she loves them!!!

I myself..prefer the ones that SQUEAK!

I think I am much louder than Foxie :)

***After I posted this...and I read Lorenza's Comment..I started thinking..it could be called, "Where's Foxie?" She is so tiny...can't tell if she is the toy! BOL..she is so cute :)

Have a “Wooferful” Weekend! It’s VPKC Friday!

Olive’s Mom Here! Thanks so much for the encouragement this week..been a rough week and Poor Olive..what a good girl she has been. She is scratching at my leg now..I think she wants the keyboard back…silly puppy...

Here Comes The Rain Again....

My Wednesday blog is normally a time for me to share walking tips or exercise and health information..but I only had a quick walk yesterday...and it made me sad. It has been raining hard again since then. sigh....

We have two sick humans home from school now and that makes me sad too....they can't play too much with me as Mom said they need to rest. Mom and the boys have a strange sick day ritual of watching this old movie every day they are sick, yes, everyday..so I have seen this movie everyday this week. Mr. Mom is the movie and they have been watching it on sick days for years and years....Do you have unusual sick day rituals at your house?

Mom's car is STILL in the shop too...I miss the car..I miss our trips out in it during the day...sigh...

Hope you are are all happy and healthy today...Take care.

The Sun Shines Again!

Do you see the sun? Oh I was so excited when the sun came out today!!

Everything seems to be wet still..but smells great!



Tastes good too! Mom LOVES the shots with my tongue sticking out..silly Mom!



I just saw a butterfly there..it flew away fast!

Oh what a beautiful day! I missed my backyard and I even went to to the park tonight with Jasmine!!

Been a crazy week...so Moms's car is still in the shop and we had a human home from school sick. He is still not feeling great, so Mom says one more day home to be safe. I have been sitting with him while he sleeps.

Hope all of you are feeling great!
