Sicks days
Daddy was home sick on Monday. Something about a bad back? He sure smelled funny! We tried to make it clear that he should get up and do something instead of just going potty and laying back in bed.
Seriously! It is puppy bed time during the work week.

Sunshine here
Hello to all my puppy loving fans! Mom went to bed early so I stole the laptop. It is my far the most interesting thing I have stolen and drug into my crate... uh... I mean Rainy's crate. One must never bring the bad stuff into your own crate!
We had so many people over this weekend. :( I was scared and stayed in the back bedrooms most of the weekend. Two of the scary people even slept here last night! Glad I was safe in Mom and Dad's bedroom. I even tried barking at them when they first got here and it didn't work. They stayed.
Mom bought pig ears yesterday! They are my favorite treat.
We just came back from a super long 2 mile walk. I was a big brave bear, although I was busted... Rainy was sniffing/peeing/pooping all over the place. You would think she was at Disneyland or something. Anyways, Mom was picking up some of her poop and these people started walking towards us in the parking lot going to their car. I thought no one was looking at me so I sneaked a very curious stare at them. They were pretty close too! Only 30 yards, but Mom caught me out of the corner of her eye. Then she laughed and made fun of me for faking my fear of strangers. I just thought maybe these people had some yummy cheese... Supper was hours ago and I may waste away to nothing w/o snacks. She said there was no fear in my eyes and I am a little goober. Is that a good thing?
Mom twisted her ankle in a hole walking up a grassy field and I even stood very very still so she could lean in my shoulders while she moved her hurt foot around. I was worried but she was fine in a few minutes.
We had an exciting jog/walk. I was the perfect jogger. Rainy kept getting yelled at for sniffing and pulling on the leash. For once I was the best behaved. Jogged right along Mom in a perfect heal with a loose leash.
Then a bird popped out form behind a tree and scared Rainy. She tried to pretend that she wasn't scared and was a mighty hunter, but I could tell the truth. I spotted a bunny hiding on a stone pile in the weeds. I have good hunting eyes.
On the way back to the car Rainy zigged to the other side of the trail and I stayed right next to her. Then out of nowhere a shadow came up on my empty side. It was Tall and Big and SCARY. I tried to run, but I was too scared to get a grip on the pavement. My toenails scared and skidded, scrambling to get away. Once I looked backwards I saw that I was running from Mom. Ops... hehehe. All I could do was look her in the eye with a sheepish expression. It's not fair she switched sides! She should stay on one side so we know where she is. How else are we supposed to sniff all the good smells?
Well I'm tired it was a stressful weekend. Off to frame Rainy for stealing the laptop.

Relaxing Saturday
We got up super early to meet Bruno at the dog park. The girls ran around, but Bruno wasn't feeling it! After running for about an hour we came home and both pups napped while I drove 3 hours round trip to go get some more pup food. Then I zipped over to Costco and started an intense cleaning at home. It was a busy day for Mom!
Sunshine spent lots of time relaxing on the big bed and even cuddled with me and Rainy for a bit. She starting to pick up that she won't get yelled at for being on the bed. :)
Then after dinner we went for our evening potty walk. For some reason everyone wanted to stop and chat with us! Rainy charmed everyone and Sunshine coped fairly well behind all of us. She only shook a little bit then settled as long as everyone kept ignoring her. Such a good pup!
Cute Sunshine on the bed!
At 6am I crawled out of bed ans Sunshine stole my spot! See how tiny she's trying to make herself.
Rainy says I can be tiny too!
Sunshine did not want me to clean up her toys
Yup I would say she's getting comfy on the bed. Sleeping in a sunbeam.

Yay for Soloxin!
So we started Sunshine on some thyroid meds Tuesday night. On Wednesday when I came home from work she almost knocked me on my ass! Thanks goodness for walls. :) This is one crazy/normal puppy. No changes in her interactions with strangers yet, but she is much hungrier with the meds. Time will tell if they will help long term.
I'm trying to find larger chunks of meat that Sunshine will try to eat. She bolts her food down fast enough to make me nervous so I'm trying to get her used to chewing off bits to slow her down and lessen the chances of choking. But she is new to this raw feeding stuff so if I give her too big of a piece she looks at me like she has no clue it's supposed to be eaten! At least she will eat chicken! Picky ass Miss Rainy only eats the expensive meats.
I also caught Sunshine roaching this morning! I was 1/2 asleep snapping crappy pics with my cell phone, but here they are.
Notice the toofers
Such a greyt way to sleep!
I worry that the 42" crate is too small for her to sleep in at night, I guess it isn't.
Coming in from our morning walk we ran into our neighbor who lives across the hallway from us. She seems to appriciate the pups from a distance, never wanting to give Rainy a good pet (much to Rainy's dismay) Poor Sunshine tried to run and crab crawl across the floor in an all out panic to get away from the little old 5 ft nothing elderly lady. So we all stood there in shock and half asleep until Sunshine stood back up and got some brain cells back. Rainy just stood there yawning wanting to get to her morning cookie then go back to bed. I apologized to the neighbor explaing that she's not very trusting of strangers yet and I was told that it just takes time to train them. We have such awesome neighbors! Not sure she would have been to wonderful if Sunshine had fear pottied all over the place, but the pup held that end of her together.
Once we got home both pups got PB spoons and their morning cookie. Next on thier agenda was to steal the big bed!
Plus a few other random pics
Rainy laying on top of Frizzle. The kitty is SO not amused, but refuses to be the one who moves first.
Is this what I'm supposed to do with the big bones?
Have to make sure Rainy's doesn't decide she wants it during my nap

Ah... Dog park Sundays
We got up super early this morning to take the pups to the dog park and we met some other greyhound friends there. Sunshine was a perfect perky pup who didn't tuck her tail up to her belly once! Everyone had a blast running around and have been crashed out sleeping since 8:30am.
