Picture Time: Watson goes hiking with the puppies :)

So Watson's breeder has a litter of 5 girls that is currently being raised. Before they leave for their homes she likes to introduce them to lots of things including the fun of going hiking. Watson and I went to help out with their first small hiking expedition yesterday :) Here is proof! The other adult basenji is momma Sunshine.

Puppies everywhere

Lizzie and Watson

Lizzie is the adventurous one and followed Watson into the depths.

Weeeee!

Watson is showing the puppies how to be a meercat...

Mornings...bah!

For some reason the dynamic duo has been asking for their morning potty break and the consequent breakfast earlier and earlier...perhaps it is the change in the light as daybreak sneaks in between the blinds earlier these days.

The other day Watson woke up at 4:30 am and tried to insist on breakfast time...I told him it was to early and he came back under the blankets. Only to get back up at 5:00 am and this time he managed to disturb the sleepy pei as well and convince her to join his quest.

So in order to preserve some sleep for my better half I got up and relocated downstairs with the dogs... I refused to feed them breakfast before 6:00 am though. Instead I curled up on the Futon and waited for time to pass...and the dogs they curled up next to me and were fast asleep within minutes >.<

Meeting of the minds

Posse

Do you smell what I smell?

This spot is interesting

Such beauty

This spot is also interesting

Buster wants to play

She is such a joy...

Last night Menchi was in rare form. She is generally always a happy girl, but she was feeling extra good. She spend the evening zooming about with various toys in her maw...

She would either shake her poor victims for all they were worth or use them to try and entice Watson into chasing her into one of the crates and the shar pei version of keep away.
Of course should Watson succeed in actually obtaining a toy she was not ready to give up it meant that she would badger him with playbows and barking.

It was a sort of silly circus that went on in our living room and office for some time...

I love Menchi's happy nature...it is one of my favorite things about her. Who knew Shar Pei were such whimsical creatures :)

The Curly Tails mingle with Maddie the Golden Doodle and Buster the Aussie

New comers must be met and inspected

The all important ritual of getting to know one another

I wonder if he has noticed she is coming for him?

Pretty dog is pretty

Still pretty

Get my good side!

I bet you can't guess who remembered to bring her camera to the park today ;)
