Lola and Clyde's World

So today I went and picked Lola and Clyde up at day care and they informed me that Clyde had an "incident". Well I look at him and he has clearly been bit! He has a bite mark above and below his eye, and the one below is about an inch long. I couldn't believe that hadn't called me! Not only that, but the girl that was there had no idea what happened, when it happened, who did it or what they did about it.

Well I left in tears, dropped Lola off at the house, and brought Clyde to the vet. While I… Continue

Clyde turns 1 year old tomorrow. I can't believe it! He has changed so much since we got him back in June!!!! In the past year he has learned the joy of running at high speeds through a field, rolling around with another dog, and curling up on the couch with mom or dad. Oh...and he has become addicted to the tennis ball! Clyde has learned several commands including come, sit, down, let's go, wait, and no :). We still have some work to do with these commands, but with his brains it is just a matt… Continue

Help! Clyde has had two "traumas" in two days and now he has blood in both of his eyes. Yesterday he and Lola were playing ball and they both jumped for the ball, collided in air, and came down hard. He seemed to shake it off pretty well (Lola not so much, she is still limping). He woke up this coughing a little, but seemed okay. So Clyde went to daycare and another dog was playing with him and grabbed his collar. The collar got twisted and the dogs mouth got stuck between the leash and Clyde's… Continue

As a teacher we have yet to have school this week and with the latest snow today, I doubt we will have school all week. So my "boredom busting" project this morning was playing with ElfYourself. Here are the videos I created:

Enjoy!

Brian and I packed up the pups and headed for the beach today! When we got here we made a pit stop in Lincoln City for a walk along the beach and perhaps a quick dip in the ocean and D River. Lola loves to swim, but this was the first time Clyde had ever been to any body of water larger than our baby pool. At first he was a tiny bit cautious, but once I went running in with him he seemed to relax and really like it...he even sat down in D river (he also happened to pee in the river, but I am sur… Continue
