The Doxies Go To Panama City Beach

Shout out to Aunty Clarissa and Cuz Bruno for sharing the hat Shel's wearing!

We took a quick trip to Panama City Beach this past week. The doxies went with us, of course! Above is a shot of them on the Dog Beach. We stayed all of about 2 minutes because it was the heat of the day and we had to walk quite a ways. I was worried they'd get overheated. So we took photos and promptly got them back into the air conditioned vehicle with cold, bottled water to drink. We did try to take them during the cooler, evening hours, but the parking situation at this beach is laughable. So we had to try a different time. Oh well. We'll be going to Pass A Grille beach in October, so we'll hopefully get better shots there. Although, I hear the dog friendly part of their beaches is very small. 

I took some videos of them all along the trip. From the time they first got into the vehicle, to the ride on the way home. The last shot in this video is of Sheldon showing how happy he was to be home. 

Thanks for stopping by! Penny and Sheldon send you nose pokes!

Sthquirrel!!! (squirrel)

Every time the doxies see a squirrel we say, "Sthquirrel!!!", like the dogs in the movie, Up. Those scenes cracked me up. I could watch the movie over and over. Here, check it out...

So, you know what I was thinking in the following Sheldon video...

New Toys

Here are the wiener pups playing with some new stuffed toys I bought them at a yard sale. I got them a whole laundry bag full! They were like kids on Christmas. See for yourself...

I think it's so funny how Penny out-weighs Sheldon by 3+ lbs and he still drags her around during tug-o-war. LOL Don't count out the little guy! It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. (Play fight, of course)

The next day my mission was to find yet another toy box for them. I did find a basket that fits the bill. That makes 3 toy boxes.

Bath Time

I had to hold Sheldon to keep him from jumping in the tub during Penny's bath, so I didn't get a video or picture of hers. Here's Sheldon enjoying his bath, though. (Penny hates them)

It's funny how he tries to bite the water at one point. That's what I'm giggling at in the video. Joel is the one doing the hard part....the bathing of the little wiggle worms.

I hope you all are having a nice Friday! We are! Both wiener pups are laying on the bed with me snoozing as I type this up.

While You Were Sleeping

Remember the "Nap Time" post from yesterday? Here's what happened after the photos were taken. Keep in mind Joel was still snoozing during all of this.

This way! No, THIS way!!

I bought the wiener pups a double leash for when I can't find someone to go walking with us. Now I won't have to wait on someone else to go with me so I can take both of them. I videoed their first outing with it. Check it out...

And a couple of photos taken shortly after the video was shot.

Sheldon: "Com'on Penny....get off your butt and let's run!"

Penny: "No, thank you."

Sheldon: "This way, PenPen! This looks like fun!"

Penny: "No, thank you. You go ahead." *snicker*

Sheldon: "I can't! You're bigger than me!"

Penny: *snicker*

Sheldon: "Fine. You win."

Penny: "Get used to it."

Hehe! Poor Sheldon doesn't have quite as much behind behind him as Penny does. She's pretty much the boss when they're tethered. He still has a blast, though. He just loves being around her.

Speaking of Penny's behind....she got into some bird food while I was feeding and watering the birds today. Little Porky Penny was as round as she is long by the time I caught her! *screams* And she was doing so well on her diet! Hopefully it won't set us back too far.

Ice Cream You Scream

Sheldon screams for ice cream.......truck. As in the ENEMY! In Sheldon's humble opinion the ice cream man is an evil, noisy human that he'd like to see disappear. He hears the music and primes himself for a barking and growling session like you've never seen before. He thinks that since most of those rolling hunks of metal that drive down the road seem to be able to do it quietly that the ice cream truck should be able to do it, too. I mean, who does he think he is strolling neighborhoods all slow and creepy like that, making all kinds of noise, and prowling for small children's money?! The nerve!

Here's proof the ice cream truck can't be trusted...

Penny Traps Herself

So far the newest set of steps have not caught on. Penny knows how to use them, but refuses. Sheldon is scared of them all together. He went down them once this morning when Kolby came up with the idea to cover them with something familiar to him. Kolby laid his blanket over them and he actually went down them. So maybe we're making strides.

Now for the funny part. Penny and Sheldon were playing with Kolby next to the steps when Penny decided she wanted to see what they looked like from the inside. I would have never thought she could even fit under these things, much less scoot her big butt underneath the side of them. Once she got inside, though, she couldn't get out. I HAD to capture this funny moment before setting her free. She's such a stinker.

Sheldon & Penny Share

Every once in a blue moon the Wiener Schnitzels share a toy...

Play Time Video

A video of some play time that happened last night on the couch...

As you can see Penny tried to make it an X rated video a few times. She does that when she gets excited. She tries to "claim" him as hers. She's such a silly girl.

Penny Puppy Video

Since Sheldon got his very own video I thought I'd share a video of Penny from when she was a puppy. This was either the first or second day we got her. The adorable pup playing with her is Molly, her sister. She wasn't ours. She went back home with my Mom to be given to my nieces. I wish we could have kept her, too.

Poor Sheldon

Poor little Sheldon was playing on the couch beside me earlier tonight. He started chewing a squeaky chicken toy he has that apparently freaked him out all of a sudden. So he jumped on me sort of sideways and then sideways again onto the floor. He didn't hit the ground hard. He tumbles quite a bit and jumps right back up, so no worries. He was fine and hopped right back up like, "Gimme that chicken!". But we (Sheldon's Daddy, actually) just happened to be videoing him at the time because he was being funny with the chicken by making funky noises when it squeaked at him. So here's the video of our little dare-devil...
