Doggy Daily for October 3, 2010

Ducati, standing guard as usual.  Casey fell asleep on the sofa last night watching the History channel.  This morning I walked into the living room and Ducati was happy to greet me...from his post.

He will not move from that spot until his boy us awake.

He is such a good puppers.  :)

Hot Wheels anyone?
 We probably have close to one thousand by now, all still in their packages.  Jack started collecting Hot Wheels with the boys probably 15 years ago.  He would buy one for the boys to play with, and one to put away.  Die cast cars have always been very collectible through the years for hobbyist.  We have literally boxes and boxes full.  Casey and Blake like to pull them out of the box and look at them, then repack them.  What amazes me is that over the years Garrett when he was younger, and Casey as well, would often be tempted to open one or two to play with.  Blake on the other hand really appreciates collecting, and has no desire to open them.  But he does love to pull them out of the box, lay them out to admire them, then carefully pack them back in the box.

It is a fun hobby.  The boys and I have decided that we are going to start a Lego Mini Fig collection.  There are some pretty amazing Mini Figs out there, and it will be fun to add them to our collection.  We will keep you posted on our progress!

Back to lesson plans for me, have a wonderful Sunday world!

Until next time...

Doggy Daily for October 2, 2010

Looks like a lazy Saturday for the canines as well.  And they are perfectly happy chilling with their humans.  :)

Lazy Saturday, that is what we are enjoying, a very lazy Saturday. I have already swept the floors, and gotten the laundry done, now I can just chill with the boys and do absolutely nothing!

Blake is happily planted in the classroom, but it is not school work he is doing.  It is time to check on his Webkinz!  He so deserves a nice lazy day as does Casey.  This has been a long busy week for all of us.

It is 85 degrees outside, so if we do go out it will be closer to sunset when it is cooler.  We have not had much opportunity to take the dogs out for a run because Miss Lilly has been recovering from her surgery.  I think she is ready to run now.  She has completely healed from what I can see, and seems ready and raring to go!

Hope you are all having a great Saturday!

Until next time...

"Mama said I should be a vampire bat for Halloween because I already have the ears."

"Should I be offended?"

"Yes, I do believe I should be!"

"There is nothing what so eva wrong with my lovely ears!"

Ducati enjoying a little home schooling with his boy Case.  :)


Ducati never leaves Casey's side!

Happy October 1st!  October is definitely one of my favorite months of the year.  The children love it too!

Blake and I had fun with school this morning.  He got to participate in a virtual "show and tell" with other children all over the state, and meet some pretty cool kids.  Blake shared pictures of his dogs, and talked about his awesome brothers.  Then after the "show and tell" session, each child got a virtual white board to draw on and share their artistic vision with the class.  It was great fun, and Blake loved the participation.  :)
