Dropped the starving dogs off at 8:15 at the vet this morning for their scheduled neutering and have found that by 3:30 this afternoon they still have not had their surgeries. I'm sure my beasts are starved and probably out of their minds with worry.

Mojo weighed in at 39.6 (which is the lower priced rate) and Elvis was at 41.2 (which is going to move him into the next higher price bracket). We couldn't give them anything but water after 9 p.m. last night so this morning they were all out of sorts as they didn't get their 5:30 feeding.

Now I think with the surgery going to occur so late in the day that they will end up staying the night. I almost hope this to be the case so that they can watch them. I was supposed to be able to pick them up after work.

So this puppy mom is turning into a bundle of nerves and irritation. I wonder if their barks will be higher after this.

I travelled to Malaysia for a week and came back to find these dogs have turned into all legs! They got really tall. Additionally, they are now in the mid 30's for weight from their last vet visit. Both are doing much better for the vets and behaving like they should.

Behaving at home is another story. Given my trip we had to reschedule the puppy trainer but she will be out to our house this weekend. Weather wise it looks like we will be inside again. Darn. They need serious help outside with all the distractions. They have made it out to the road several times which really frustrates my husband and I.

I am getting bruised up by these little beasts when we play with the rope frisbee toys as they both have to bring it back to me at the same time. One will usually get it while the other waits about 1/2 way and then when the one with the toy gets close they start fighting over it. Then they charge at me full bore and I feel as I've been hit by two little Mac Trucks!

They have discovered digging holes in the yard and worms. Last night they were chewing on them and dragging them all over the yard so it was another bath and teeth brushing. No wormie licking on this mom's face!!! I can imagine they will start finding even ickier stuff to gnaw on.

I really need to get some new photos posted soon. They are really beautiful after their bath as the brown tint in their black coats really shines. They remind me of pearl coated cars that never look the same color.
