Dog Costumes

Helen sent me this link for Glamour Dog.

I saw a bee costume and...

laughed maniacally. I quickly rummaged through my yarn drawer and pulled out a measuring tape. I ran with unrestrained glee towards sleeping Waldo. I could just see it in my head.

Bwaa haa haaa haa!!

Waldo was awake by the time I had thundered over to him. I measured him but alas he is too DAMN BIG for the little bee costume. Dashed dreams, dashed hopes. Woe is me.

Waldo Wears Clothes

So I'm posting some paintball pictures online for Alan when he says: hey honey look at this. I turn around and there's Waldo walking around with a t-shirt on. Haa haa haa! :)



Do you think Nestle is jealous or secretly laughing?

Picture Of Nestle

Bridgette left her camera at my house and I took a picture of Nestle. That was weeks and weeks ago. I was expecting Bridgette to have found it ages ago. But she didn't until today. She was sending me a bunch of pictures and Nestle was here with the rest of the pictures.

Kid

Taking care of Waldo is what I imagine taking care of a kid would be like. After he eats I have to wash his little face (he's a messy eater; drops his food everywhere). I have to wash his butt (under his stump of a tail). He cries (whines) when he wants something.

He knocked a ball under Nestle's stool and he sat there and whined because his short little arms couldn't reach it. He's a big baby and we love him. :)

Hide And Seek

I love playing hide and seek! I've loved it since I was little. I play it with Nestle sometimes. I go hide and then yell "find me" and she comes sniffing around looking for me. Waldo doesn't ever play that with me. He just lays there, big couch potato that he is. Well I also like hiding from Alan. Sometimes he'll step out of the room and I'll run and dive into the closet. Well I did that tonight. I went and hid in the closet when he went to the kitchen. But I wasn't very successful in my hiding efforts. Nestle is usually always in the find mode when I go run and hide. She'll stand outside of where I'm hiding, wagging her tail running back and forth. So this time I was smart. I grabbed her and pulled her into the closet with me. Then she wouldn't give me away. But Waldo did! He's never done that before. When Alan came back into the bedroom Waldo went pawing at the closet until he nudged it open. Then he grabbed a ball and excitedly ran in and out of the closet dropping the ball on the floor. So Alan's sitting on the bed and he's so used to me hiding and with Waldo giving me away it was easy for him to know where I was . Alan didn't even look up, he just says, "honey, I know you're in the closet." Man, damn Waldo.

Sniff

Waldo must have found an interesting scent on my pants today. He had his nose pressed against my pants and sniffed and sniffed and sniffed. He walked around me in a complete circle sniffing my pants.

Little Pigs

I'm eating and the dogs are hovering about. Nestle is following each morsel of food with her eyes. She's on my left

and then she restlessly moves onto my right.

Waldo just sits close by hoping something will fall off the plate. My doggies are such little pigs.

So Hot

It was so hot when we got home. Waldo is sitting here with his tongue lolling out and breathing all heavy. We should have turned on the air for him.

Waldo Chases a Ball

Nestle was laying serenely on the bed when she suddenly popped up into a sitting position and turned towards the bedroom door. Waldo was running excitely into the room with a tennis ball in front of him. He had knocked it in from the hallway and was chasing after it. Him and the ball headed right for the bed. The ball rolled under and Waldo dived his head under the bed and started whining. It had rolled to the farthest point, right in the middle of the bed. I couldn't even reach it.

Waldo Did the Weirdest Thing Today

Alan was sitting by the bed on a chair. And Waldo came running up to him all weird and frantic like. He jumped up on his hind legs and rammed into Alan as he was sitting there. It was so bizarre. And then he wouldn't get down. He just stood there like that for I don't know how long. Long enough for us to think it was really strange and to take a picture.

Toy Bag

Waldo and Nestle have a toy bag. It's exactly as it sounds. A bag full of doggie toys. It's usually in the closet up high where they can't reach it. Well the other day when I brought Nestle to the vet I was looking for her leash and I dropped the toy bag. And today the dogs have been diving in the bag.

And once they find a toy they run around all happy and crazy with the toys in their mouths. Now they've found some bones and have finally calmed down and are blissfully chewing. They are all played out.

Nestle Went to the Vet Today

Nestle had her vaccines today. First thing she does when she gets into the room is smell everything she can. She walks around and around with her nose to the floor, to the cabinets, to the walls and any crevice and corner she can find.



Once she's done with that she moves onto the next thing, which is to sit and stare intently at the door.



Then finally she gets bored and lays down on her side with a little whine waiting for the vet to come in and see her. I love her. She's adorable.

"Treat on the Nose" Trick

Waldo is getting the "treat on the nose" trick! Alan was doing it with french fries! It took a couple of tries but he's getting it. Alan put it on Waldo's nose and would say "wait, wait, wait' and Waldo actually sat there with the french fry on his little nose! Look!



See it is a french fry

Been Meaning to

I've been meaning to update Waldo's website www.waldothegreat.com but haven't gotten around to it. It's just another one of those things I've been wanting to do.

New Trick

Way way long ago Alan and I were watching something on TV where a dog had a treat on his nose and didn't eat it until he was told to. Alan and I had a good laugh over that saying how Waldo, the little piggy food whore, would never be able to do a trick like that. He would just eat the damn treat. Well for some reason Alan started thinking about that trick and he's been trying to teach it to Waldo. Again I was skeptical but he's working on it. We'll see what happens.
