Duke's new crush for this month...

I'll call this the "before" picture, untouched by Duke. While it's still in one piece and has all of it's hair.

Race Day Controversy...

As we went back to review the tape, it looks like Duke had a false start.

Memorial Day picnic on the grass...

Staying cool in the shade while enjoying each other's company. And when I say that, I'm referring to Duke and his green and orange friends next to him. Looks like Eddie just crashed the party.

Chewy envy...

But little does Eddie know that he has his very own right under his nose. Yup, he's our little genius.

Slammin' on the brakes...

Duke always gets grass stains when we go to my mom's house and he gets the ball obsession attack. I guess when you're running that fast, you need the extra part of your leg to help you stop on a dime.

It's Eddie Friday!

In case you wanted to see what Eddie's nose looks like, here ya go!

Free watchdog services...

Even if you don't really want it. Here's Duke yelling at the neighbors again...who are in the safety of their OWN backyard. I think he's just likes to show off & be all macho.

Their seeking is better than my hiding...

I was in the kitchen trying to hide from the boys, but they must have known I was there. I tried to wait it out, but they just stood there the whole time. I guess I'm not a very good hider, cause their shadows kept looking in my direction.

What to do on another gloomy day...

Stay indoors and smash your face into a fluffy pillow. And don't forget to curl up in a position where your back paws touch your front paws.

Monday morning weather report...

A little cloudy with a chance of drizzles getting in the eyes.

Warm & dry on a lazy, rainy day...

A perfect day to stay in bed and sleep an extra hour or 3.

Not of this world...

The last time I took Duke & Eddie to my mom's house, they didn't know what to think when they saw our family turtle. They were a little curious, but freaked out when they saw it moving towards them & getting closer. I'm sure they were relieved that the fence was protecting them from that slow moving monster that we call Henry.

Mission : Impossible...

Well, almost. Normally, Duke wouldn't tolerate any kind of chewy stealing, but this time Eddie had a good technique. Either that, or Duke must have been REALLY tired & forgiving that day. I was a little worried that a fight might break out, so I made sure I sat close & took lots of pictures. =)

Being ever so careful & trying not to make any quick movements, Eddie crept closer & closer, waiting for the perfect time to go in for the steal. Notice how he gave one last look at Duke right before the take. In the end, it was Mission : Accomplished.

Callin' in for backup...

The lone bird didn't think he could take Eddie on by himself, so he yelled for his buddy. Birds can be mean with their taunting & teasing of the leashed ones.

Why it's so hard to get any yardwork done...

My favorite thing about giving the dogs a bath...

Is that I get to see all of these scattered in the backyard.

Quick dry process...

Getting rid of excess water by rolling around in the grass or licking it off. Choose your preference.

Ohana means family...

And that means everyone gets their picture taken. I'd like to introduce you to the boys of my ohana...Duke, Eddie, Poki & Max. Happy Mother's Day!

Wet dog...

Time for the boys' bath again. They had a great time!

Cooling down...

The best spot to be on a hot day.

The ends of a fun day...

Exhaustion...

Eddie sat on Toby's foot after finishing the walk, but both of them were too tired to care.

Water to the rescue...

The perfect solution for hot, tired paws. As you can tell, Toby didn't like that answer.

Stopping to smell the roses...

And everything else they came across! Duke & Eddie had so much fun & wore themselves out with the new experience. I think they were a bit overwhelmed with the whole day, but had a great time in L.A.. They meet alot of nice dogs and got some exercise at the same time. Toby, Duke & Eddie made it through the entire walk and got some free toys and food for finishing.
