We Played Bunches on the Weekend...

We ran around outside a lot this past weekend. It was really hot outside--90 degrees! Mom said the weather was record breaking hot. All that playing around made us kind of tired so when Mom took her old lady nap, we climbed up in bed with her.

Dad was making some loud noises on the other side of the wall where the garage is. He was doing something with a hammer. Nellie was tired but she stayed on alert in case something needed her attention.

See how her "radar" ears are listening ? Anyway, we really didn't get a nap but we did get some cuddle time in and that's always good.

We hope you had a nice weekend and have a fun week too. Wagging tails and puppy dog kisses from Opi and Nellie Belle.

Nellie Belle Has a Boyfriend

Nellie is a bossy little girl. She bullies poor Opi something fierce. Yesterday, they were playing nicely together and then Nellie B found her boyfriend, Julio, and left Opi out in the cold with no one to play with! Here's a picture of Opi and Nellie B together:

Here's Nellie and her boyfriend Julio:

Mom Can Be Forgetful Sometimes

Mom forgot she had a Photobucket account and when she just found it again, there was this cute picture of Nellie B in it. Nellie was kind of young then and still had her girlish figure. Mom made this sweater for her without a pattern because back then, Mom couldn't find a pattern small enough to fit Nellie. Here's the picture:

Yippie!

Yippie! Our mommy is home again! She left us home with Daddy and went to visit some of her family in Florida. We missed her bunches and bunches. We even had to rearrange our sleeping arrangements. Nellie Belle and Mommy snuggle and Opi sleeps by Mommy's feet to keep them warm. We even went to bed early because no one was awake after 10 PM! Glad Mom's home because we missed the hugs and goodies during the day when Dad's at work. Daddy did come home at lunch time to let us outside to go potty but it just wasn't the same. But do you know what Mommy did today after we spent a week missing her? She was MEAN and gave us BATHS! Hugs and puppy dogs kisses to you all.

Mom Was Looking at Old Pictures...

Mom was looking at some old pictures and she decided to share this one of Opi with you. Look at his face, I don't think he has any white hairs on it! Anyway, he's wearing a sweater Mom made for him. She doesn't make us quite as many sweaters lately because Nellie Belle doesn't like them and our dad doesn't either so the sweaters don't get much use. Sending you some puppy dog kisses....

Opi Causes a Ruckus

Opi was barking up a storm and Mom was getting frustrated with him. She held him and petted him. He was a little sweetie when she did that but as soon as she put him down, he barked like crazy again. Then, Mom realized what the problem was--Nellie had taken over Opi's spot where he liked to hang out after Daddy went to bed. Here's the culprit:

And here's where Opi finally became content:

Mom tucked Opi into her fleece jacket and he stayed in there while Mom was sitting at the desk. He's a spoiled guy sometimes.

Mom's New Crochet Thingie for Nellie Belle

Mom found a pattern for a doggie shrug to crochet for Nellie Belle. She worked hard to make it and had to try it on Nellie B. several times so that it would fit just right. Nellie got a bit disgruntled at all this modeling stuff and went to bed with her daddy. Usually Nellie Belle has to be the last one in bed at night so Mom knew that Nellie was a tad bit disgruntled. The next morning, Mom put the completed shrug on Nellie Belle and before she could find her camera, Nellie took the shrug off and "lost" it somewhere in the house! Opi is an easy-going guy so he said "Hey Mom, when you find it, I'll try it on so you can take a picture of it. I don't care that it's a girlie thing." So here's the picture of Opi wearing it:

Later on, Mom did "catch" Nellie Belle and put the shrug on her so she could look pretty when Daddy came home from work. Here's Nellie Belle finally wearing the new shrug Mom made:

You can probably tell by the look on Nellie's face that she's not too happy with having clothing on. That's ok because as soon as Daddy saw her, he took it off and Nellie was happy again.
