Oh the indignities


DSC00530Okay so we went on a long walk this morning. I made dad so proud. We did 4 laps around, 3 of them up the hill. If mom had been there, even if we had done 4 laps, none of them would have been up hill.It’s not that she is lazy legs as I called her yesterday (she made me say that), it’s just her legs are old, oh yeez, I’m gonna be in trouble again.
DSC00531

Anyway, we get home and I made the mistake of going under the deck. Old habits die hard. So dad decides he has to wash my feet. As you can see, I don’t care for it too much. Again, I think mom made him do it, it’s surprising I love her so much.
DSC00533


And then, they found this. Can you believe it, it was outside our gate. Dad thought it might need a drink, so he put it in our bird bath. He did let it go, but I got a little worried. It seems that they like to bring home strays. Oh well, after walks, we do naps. So I have to go.



Happy day,
Love Quigley, and Annie who is already asleep

Dad calls us Velcro dogs


DSC00527I know Annie is hard to see on our kitchen floor, but you get the idea. Dad says we are always stuck together. Mom calls us shadows. We can’t help it, we just looooooooooooooooove each other.

When they decided to adopt Annie, I am so glad they decided to adopt me too. Again, mom believes the reason we are so happy is we have each other. I think they may have a little to do with it.
DSC00528
Mom is a little spastic, they gave us our Heartworm meds yesterday, and silly girl read all of the side effects on the internet. Of course now she is inspecting every little thing we do. Last night she was worried Annie was sleeping to well (I know she’s bonkers) so she let Annie sleep in her arms under the sheet for a really long time. They seemed happy, so I guess I won’t tease either of them.
Anyway it is time for our morning walk. It’s so hot here we probably will only do one today.

Love Quigley, one side of the velcro.

Don’t know what we are going to do

 

DSC00521

She found us out. When mom use to go to that big place, she would worry about us. She actually fretted, wondering how we were doing, if we needed to go out, if we missed them, even if we were getting into trouble. Well now she knows,  we sleep. We didn't even know half of the time that they were missing. Oh don't get me wrong, it's way more fun when, we open our eyes we can see them, before we fall back to sleep. But sleep we do. The first day, she got anxious, thinking something was wrong. That worked really well for us too, we got lots of treats that day. Now not so much. She figures if we're sleeping, she can do whatever she wants. Go figure that she'd figure it out so soon. I think we underestimate her intellengence. These humans are brighter than we ever gave them credit for. Oh well, time to take a litttle nap.

Love, Annie

Oh what a night



DSC00511We were so excited, it seems we get more company these days and we love it. First on Monday, our new friend Patty came to see us. She smelled really good, and we fell in love. Mom was worried that we might hurt her, but we were careful and even Quig only tried to take her somewhere once, so all in all it was a success.

Then yesterday, after dad worked and they ate, we all got into the car (lazy legs mom too) and off we went. We went back to our newest happy walking place. We met a feisty little boston terrier, a BIG bunch of little girls, who by the way adored us, saw some runners. We weren't as crazy about the runners, one of them said Annie was a "funky looking dog" . Mom got real loud and told him, she was NOT a funky looking dog, she was beautiful. Then we went home.

Thought the day was done, but the phone rang and mom said our friends were coming. You know we have so many, we couldn't figure which one it was. But then we found out she meant our 4 legged friends. The big Doc stopped by and brought, Cinnamon, Frenchie and the pugs. They weren't here long before mom said she needed to attach the camera to her body permanently. We didn't understand until  we saw one really wet pug get pulled out of the pond. Everyone laughed (if it had been me, I'd have gotten scolded I'm sure), but they moved really fast as it seems pugs sink..

He loved it, tho, they had to keep a much closer eye on him, as he tried to do it a lot more times. Then he took his brother the back way and they both tried to do a swan dive into the pond.  We all had a fun, fun time, but then they had to go. Big Doc, said he'd bring them back soon.
So that was our day, full and fun.

Hope yours is that way today.
Love, Quigley and Annie

Something new is in the air.


DSC00520We are feeling pretty calm. Something is in the air. We aren’t sure about it, but it seems mom is a little happier. She went to that big building yesterday, but came right back home. Then she and dad took off for a longggggggggggggggggggggggg time. Okay they said it was just 3 hours, but to us it seemed forever. Then she stayed home, she said she is doing that again today, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. Well you get the idea.
We're not complaining, just going to lay here and enjoy. Whatever it is, we like it.
Love, Annie and Quigley

Oh boy did we have fun


DSC00514We met new friends, we met new friends. We had so much fun on our walk today. We met a new dog on the path before the 2 pugs and Frenchie and Cinnamon got there. Oh yeah they brought their man with them too, but we were more interested in the dogs than in him.





DSC00516


 He was nice enough, but I think I remember him giving us some kind of shots and squeezing our butts, soooooooooooooooo we have to think about it for awhile.



DSC00515Anyway here we are , all 6 of us and we are in love. The humans promised to do it again next week, and I swear we are gonna make them do it. As for now, it’s nap time for all of us, so have a happy.

Love, Annie and Quigley

Dad’s slipping today.



DSC00506It's 10 after 6 in the morning and we can't believe it. Dad is sitting with mom having coffee. What's with that? By now we are usually in the car heading to some wonderful location for our walk. Mom never goes, just between you and me, I think she may be a little "walk" lazy.

But here we are just,sitting around chewing on anything allowed, and wondering. Dad did say something about a Pack walk later this morning. I am not sure what that is, but I have a feeling that pictures will be taken. I just saw mom checking out her pink camera. ( She loves it, dad looks a little silly using it)

Annie just stopped playing, to watch the news.  The weather is going to be nice, so what ever this walk thing is, we will be able to do it. Check back later, as I know the pictures will follow.

Quigley here, signing off

We are more than a little sad today.


photo (32)I guess he was our cousin, his name was Luke and he owned, Shelli and Rob and Camille. (They are responsible for us having found our forever home, so they are extra special to us, and mom and dad are over the moon about them). Luke taught them how to love a dog. Oh they thought they knew before, but as tales are told, he was a master at love. I think he was Rob’s first  dog, and boy did Rob love him. Mom says that he may have helped them to need us. So we loved him too.
He crossed over the Rainbow Bridge today, and I’m guessing he is having a wonderful time, although his people are really sad today. He was a Good Boy. Quig wants to grow up and be just like him. Me, I just want everyone to love me like they loved him. Have fun Luke, we will all be together before you can swim a river. Mom and dad loved you a lot.


Annie and Quigley

BUSTED


DSC00505Don’t tell them I heard, but I’ve been busted. I am afraid my new found wonderful freedom may end anytime soon. I heard mom telling dad about a little spot I left in one of the bedrooms. I think they figured out that, last night when they thought it was so cute that I went upstairs, only stayed for a little while, and came back, was when it happened. I swear, I don’t know what comes over me, I had been out, and they take me whenever I show any indication that going out is needed. But they looked so comfortable, mom was recovering from a fall she had the night before, and dad had worked outside in the awful heat. I think they would appreciate, my consideration. But I may be saved, look how cute I am, and so innocent looking when I sleep. Think I stand a chance?
I need you to keep good thoughts for me,
Love, Annie

Oh boy do we love doggy ice cream

 

DSC00497We got our flea medicine today. And after the last time, mom is a little spastic. So to make sure we were okay, she gave us a little treat.

DSC00500It seems that the medicine didn’t bother Quig this time, as they exchanged the first one for the one same kind as I had. But just to be sure-----

DSC00502We got some really good doggy ice cream. Seems that all is well, and we are some happy pooches. It is really hot here, so the ice cream hit the spot.

It seems we all scream for Ice Cream…

Annie and her partner in crime

Ever wonder how you got your name?

We keep hearing names of other dogs thrown around here.
Most of their names are unique. And it seems most of them had a reason.
 First there was Bogg, he was named that after a tv show. And the fact that mom figured if anyone said, what a pretty dog, what a good dog, he would think they were saying his name. (You know she is really slow sometimes. We are much brighter than that and our hearing is really good, so he could tell the difference. But she thought she was so bright, that we won't tell her any differently)
 Then there was Jessie.I think it was dad's sister Sue Ann that  had a dog that looked like her a long time ago, hence Jessie.
 Spoon's name came from Bogg, I know go figure. But mom always called Bogg- Lovey Spoon, (I don't know why) so when she got Spoon she figured that it would come off her tongue easily
Too be honest she can't remember how Willy got his name. When he showed up, it was just Willy. He knew it, they knew it.
So now it comes to us. When they figured it was time to get a dog, mom started a list. Lots of different names were written down. And she wanted to name Annie, Willow. Dad wasn't sure, neither was Aunt Maria. Mom and Aunt Maria's mom's name was Annie. She was tiny and sweet, and let's admit it sometime a little bossy. Soooooooooo Annie turned out to be the right name for her. We all think granny Annie would have smiled when she heard about it.The only thing tho, she is always calling Quig, Willy anyway, so if one of us had had a similar name, it might not have been so bad.
  Qugiley's name was down to Quincy  or Qiugley. Dad wanted Quincy, so Quincy it was to be until he met him. And then he changed his mind. And let's be honest, Quigley is as much a Quigley as any dog could be. People think he was named after the movie, Quigley Down Under, but he wasn't. They never even saw that movie, although dad's mom thinks he looks like Tom Sellick . I don't see it, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
So anyway that's the story of the names.

Have a cool day, it's killer hot here.
Q and A

He is NOT a SMALL dog


DSC00496
That is all I hear anymore. What's that all about? 
Mom was looking at me this morning while I was laying in the bathroom with her, and out loud she said to me "he is not a small dog". I hear that Willy was a really big boy, and when they decided to have another dog, they (mom) thought a smaller dog would be good. Of course Annie fits into that, but once more not me. I am a BIG guy. But I swear I heard her tell Shelli on the phone, how much she loves a big headed dog. So I guess it's okay
I have to admit, I hear a lot of" I love that dog". And boy do I love them back.....
Quig, the big dog......

I just needed a little alone time


DSC00493
I am sure all of you have had these feelings. We are starting to have more freedom in the house. We are not restricted to only 3 rooms when the humans are home. So I have started finding little spaces that are or at least should be mine alone.I like the upstairs landing, it was one of Willy's favorite places, I am there right now, but mom's battery went dead in the camera, so you'll just have to take my word for it. (I'm sure pictures will follow when that is fixed) I also love the little spot in front of Hugh Scott's room. I'm not sure who that is, but I am assured that I am going to love him. But my sweet brub, just can't stand that I need some alone time. It makes him a little crazy, so he has to find me and lay as close to me as possible. Mom says that I need to be patient, it is only because he loves me so much. But really it's just a little space I need. As you saw yesterday, he has even taken to going into MY crate. Can you believe it? Anyway, I just needed to vent. And to be honest, I'd be lost without the big lug. He's not only my brother, he's my bestie, and I love him.
A trying to be understanding, Annie
Okay, so when the battery was fixed, I was alone but in a new space, so that is the picture you are seeing.

So maybe I don’t mind Annie’s crate



DSC00482


I disappeared for a few minutes
 so mom came looking for me.



DSC00483

This is where she found me. This is sissy’s crate. I guess her’s isn’t too bad after all. And anyway, I decided to go in and the door was left open.

Not a Cesar moment……..at least not for dad.

Quigley

We’re staying---------no question

 

DSC00475

Annie and I have been thinking. It's been a few month's since we came to our forever home, and what a time it's been. Mom and dad have had high hopes for us, only making us sleep in our crates for two nights and then letting us come up with them to the bedroom. Then it wasn't much longer that they stopped making us stay in them. during the day. Okay that was for me, I really hated the crate, I would make awful sounds and faces when they put me in there and then leave. Annie still goes into hers sometime, just to take a nap and maybe get away from me .(I'm not sure about that, but it is a possibility) They have gotten us use to the leash,--- okay, that was just me too, perfect Annie, didn't mind that either. They even convinced us--- once more me, to get into the car all by ourselves, by taking us to really cool places. They let us see people and really soon we are going to start having play dates with other pooches. 

Before Johnna left, I heard her say, we could go back for up to 1 year. She also said something about us turning into heathens and maybe we couldn't go back, but I want to tell her. We are not going back. As we talk it over, we really love these guys. Dad makes sure we walk everyday, he gets us really tired out, and then when they have to leave us, we don't complain too much. Although I heard the neighbor squealing on us, and saying how we howl sometimes. At least he told them we don't do it for long. We worry, that they may have just forgotten for a moment, we aren't with them. It is just a precaution. You know what I mean.

Mom well, she just loves us, laughs at us and try's not to get too stressed when we forget not to jump on her and get her clothes dirty. So we think this is it, no turning back for any of us.

May you all be as happy in your forever homes and we are in ours.

Love, Quigley

Mom is always coming home with new stuff.

 

DSC00476So mom works at a place called Gabe’s. She said it is a really big store with lots of cool stuff to buy. Mostly for us--------

DSC00477 So anyway, yesterday when she  came home from work, she had a few toys for us and this cool purple thing.You attach your water bottle to it and it becomes a bowl for us to drink from.

DSC00478They even remembered to take it with them on our walk,(actually Quiq had to carry it in his pack, they are getting a little lazy if you ask me) We walked a really long way, and they decided to see if we would like to have a little sip, and check it out we did. They need to find a water bottle that has a pop out top for it to work the way it was designed, but they made do for today. So now we have new gentle leads, back packs, and our own special cup to drink from. I heard the word spoiled thrown around, but I think they exaggerate

Love, A and Q

A pretty girl

 

DSC00468I really do think pink is my color. Here are my pictures as promised. As you can see, Quig is wearing his backpack  too. Dad put water bottles in them, and boy has it slowed us down.

DSC00471I think that I am ready to walk the red carpet, or at least a runway.

DSC00474But for now the best I can do is up and down the street. We get a lot of attention, from neighbors and strangers alike. I have to admit I like it when people want to say hi. I guess deep down inside I’m a party girl.

Taking these packs to the mountains tomorrow, so we will let you know how it go’s then. Have a happy day.

Annie

Do we look like guard dogs to you?????


DSC00455Okay so last night mom tried to wake dad up early-ish. She called down around 11 to say it was time to take us out and come to bed. Of course he said okay and immediately fell back to sleep.
DSC00466So around 2 o’clock, he woke up again, took us out and up we went. We did our regular routine, and I thought we were settled down. I got warm and jumped off the bed. All of  sudden the light came on. Mom WAS NOT happy. I heard her ask dad what was going on, and he said he heard something. She told him, it was just me, but being the man, he didn’t believe her and needed to go check it out. She told him to take one of the dogs with him, so he called me to come with. Mom waited and waited and thought she better turn the light on, and there we were protecting her. Fast asleep, but still protecting her. Dad came back, said all was well, and got back into bed. But not before saying something about the GREAT watchdogs they have.
Go figure…..
Pic’s of Annie in her pack later, Quig

I am a happy camper


DSC00460
DSC00464How happy do I look? Mom promised that we’d take picture’s of me with my backpack, so here they are. I really think I like this thing. Mom kept saying how handsome I looked. Annie had her’s on first, but they wanted to do special pictures of both of us, so I got to go first on the blog.  Annie will be featured tomorrow. So what do you think? Am I adorable or what?
Working dog, Quig

Who ever heard of Outward Hound dog back pack?


DSC00457Dad says we are working dogs.At least our breed is. And he figured we wouldn’t be happy until we got a job. We tried to talk to mom about it, but she likes to make him happy too, so when he found these really cool looking things, she said “go for it”>
DSC00459They came in the mail yesterday. The pretty pink one is for Annie, (thank goodness) and the orange one is mine. You can tell who picked who’s out. Mom is pink crazy and dad always wears orange. I figure if we are out in the woods this fall, we’ll be safe. Those things are really bright, mom calls them pretty. We tried them on as soon as they came, I think we really like them, but until we walk with them, only time will tell for sure.
Mom said pic’s with us in them, will be coming soon.
Have a non job day, I still think they need to rethink this whole job thing.
Later, Quig

Wednesday, June 13, 2012

Nothing much happening here.

 

DSC00452It’s a mom and dad home day. We went up the mountains, and did our long walk. Dad and Quig are outside, mom and I, well you can see what I’m doing. A lazy, beautiful. wonderful day.

Hope you are having one too.

Cleopatra’s got nothing on Quig


DSC00443History has it that Cleo was the most beautiful woman in the world. And one of the things that is always in pictures of her are the lines around her eyes. Well we all know she used khol to do that--------

DSC00451but my little brub was born with his beautiful eyes. And those lines are natural.  That is one handsome  boy.



I’m so proud, Annie

Just a couple of things


DSC00440We must go through a lot of food, the humans said we had to do a road trip to Morgantown again. So into the car we went and this time they remembered to take pictures. So here we are at Woofs, we love this store, they don’t mind one bit that  we sniff all their stuff. We road around Morgantown, mom said we did something called being lost. But it was  okay, cause we made it home again, safe and sound.
DSC00442
Annie doesn’t have a red bump growing out of her, that is her favorite toy. It is a red ball that blinks. She carries it around, sleeps with it when we let her,and drops it on my head to get my attention. I wish mom could find another, she can’t destroy it, but she won’t share and I’d like one of my own.

See ya later, Quig.

The tale of the tail

 

DSC00435The humans in this house are really strange sometime. They are obsessed with our tails. Quigley’s is short, not cropped, he was born with it this way. It is the one thing that proves he has some Aussie in him.

DSC00436As for me, my tail is a thing of beauty. Okay maybe I am a little prejudiced . It is long and silky, and it gets caught in stuff if I am not careful. I guess that is why breeders from long ago decided that Aussie’s (because they are working dogs) should have shorter tails. Even I have to admit, Quig has the cutest tail I ever saw. But it’s a joke saying he is a working dog., although, I have head rumblings of a back pack. I say it’s okay for Quigley, but I hope they don’t think I’m wearing one. I think it will make my hips look wide.

Anyway, you judge, who’s got the prettier tail????

Long and silky, Annie

This made mom and dad so happy


DSC00427You’ve all heard about Willy, but before him there were 2 other incredible dogs. There names were Spoon and Jessie. Spoonie was the boy, Jessie the girl. And they loved each other. To anyone who knew them, that is an understatement. The story goes that Spoon, was so small when they got him, he could walk under Jessie’s tummy. And Jessie never weighed more that 36 lbs her whole life. He grew  into a big beautiful lab, and weighed about 100 lbs when he went over the rainbow bridge.
Well Spoon and Jessie were inseparable. They loved to lay on the couch together, butt to butt. Mom and dad loved when they did that and today when I was on the couch , Annie jumped up, and low and behold, there we were---butt to butt---- 
We didn’t know why, but mom was thrilled as was dad, and then they took this picture. Who knows what makes them happy.
I am glad that at least once in awhile, it’s us.
Happy days, Quig.

Secretly, I think they love it.


DSC00237You know from time to time during the night, we like to check on mom and dad. It involves us walking around some, jingling all the way. We have lots of tags now, so we can no longer use our stealth mode. Anyway after thinking about it for awhile, off we go. With a flying leap we hit the bed. Quigley always hits first, taking up the middle of the bed. He like’s it there because he can get to either one of their ears. Me I head up the side where mom sleeps and on top of her head, she keeps a soft memory foam pillow. It’s perfect for my bony body. I settle down really fast when I get there, and every once in awhile she will reach up and stroke me. So no matter what they say or how they grumble, Secretly I think they love it.
Have a happy saturday
Blessings, Annie

We are soooooo excited, we’ve gotten a new cousin.


photo (127)We hope Rob and Shelli and Camille don’t mind, but we are so excited to announce we have a new cousin. I believe her official name is Lady and the Tramp. It has a nice ring to it don’t you think? But we are all going to call her Lady. She looks like she is really happy, and her new dad looks over the moon. She is coming from Johnna’s house, so you can bet she is adorable. I just hope she doesn’t forget all her manners, like we tend to do.
Anyway welcome Lady, you are one lucky girl. Mom says you fell into it, whatever that means. But you have found the best forever home.
Come see us soon.
Love, Annie and Quigley

I am feeling a little guilty-----

 

DSC00334Okay, so you all know about the debacle we had on tuesday. Well the reality of it is, the only thing Quigley did that was so bad was get caught behind a closed door, and want to get back to me. I am the one that did all the damage. Think about it, your brother is trapped somewhere that you can’t see him, mom and dad are both gone, it’s a long day. What’s a girl to do? He was frantic, trying to get to me, there was nothing I could do. So I admit it, I panicked , I started to react, I did bad stuff. But not to just do bad stuff, I just couldn’t help myself. So please don’t think badly about Quiq, I take full responsibility for the mess. I am a sorry girl, and despite the looks of the picture on this post. I REALLY love my brub.

Just call me a sorry Annie

Tuesday, June 5, 2012

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh boy, am I in trouble



Wow, get a little cocky and brag about how you can train your human and all heck lets loose. What a day Annie and I had today. Let me tell you how I believe it started.
  We have this strange door between our kitchen and our dining room. It swings, but only one way. It opens from the kitchen into the dinning room. And it seems if I hit it just right, I can open it. I've got to move fast, but like I said before I can be fast when I want too. Mom and dad keep it closed when they are away, which makes me nuts, so when the door opened I went for it.
trashAnd then I found out I couldn't get back into the kitchen. And worse than that Annie was in there ALONE.......Oh what to do?  I tried to get to her through the living room, even knocked down the gate on the steps..But I couldn't get to her. She was loosing her little mind, she tried to think of something to help get me back into the room with her. She bit though 2 cans of coke, tore up the rug I lay on, totally destroyed our fancy Rescue dog rug, ate dad's contact case. Oh boy what a day. Mom finally made it home to both of us yelling our heads off. Mom got scared when she only saw Annie, I think she was afraid I got hurt really bad. So that may have saved me.  She went into shock when she saw the mess, I think she wanted to cry. She didn't yell, just put us outside while she cleaned up.  She even still fed us when she was done.
I wish I could promise I'd never do anything this silly again, but I'm only 10 months old, and I won't lie. I am afraid they are going to start using that crate thing again. Oh woe is me.
Think good thoughts for me I'm really gonna need it....
Quigley the not so lucky guy.

How to train your very own human

DSC00412Hi Quigley here, this one if from me alone. Annie hasn't a clue on how to retrain our humans. She thinks kissing, and coming when called, going pee pee when told to be a good girl, is going to train them to do what we want. I on the other hand, have a better grip on the reality of our new living arrangements. Our people are really good to us, they feed us our favorite food, two times a day, have tons of  treats up high on the top of the fridge. (I think that is so we can't just graze on them at will) Mom has even given in to dad's insistence that we need walked more often. But the reality is, I need for them to give me treats at MY will. The only way this happens is, if they want me to come in, I can hide under the deck, or stand and cock my head (boy am I cute when I do this) and stand right outside of the door. They call and smile, tell me what a good boy I am (but they say that like it's a lie) but I hold my ground, and I won't come in. If they try to help me in by holding my collar, I just run away, I'm really fast when I want to be, you know. So when it get's to be too long with the door open, and the flies coming in, they ask Annie if she wants a treat. Then they take one of the many bags down and crinkle it to make a noise. I still act disinterested. So they make Annie sit and start to give her one. That is when I make my move, I come in sit like a good boy and SUCCESS is obtained. 
So any of  my canine friends reading this, just try it, it works. Oh yeah, one more thing, hide that darn Cesar Millan's book.
Have a treat filled day,
Quigley

This is what we looked like at the end of the day.

 

DSC00397

What a wonderful day.We got into the car, we are beginning to think that is a pretty good thing. When we did that we thought we were going back to the cross .But we went in a different direction, so we thought we were going to Deer Lake. But no, we went past that too. The road was pretty, lots of sun and tree’s, so we really didn’t mind. Pretty soon, dad was slowing down the car, and we smelled water, lots and lots of water. Mom said we were at O HI O Pyle, at least that is how it sounds. This Ohiopyle is a state run park, again, who knows what that is, but boy is it BEAUTIFUL. There are waterfalls and streams, lots of boulders, and even small rocks.

There were lots of people who were understandably taken with us. And even little people, I think they are called kids. They made a lot of noise, but we didn’t care except for one little boy we think was being bullied, and Quigley really didn’t like that. (I know people say I bully him, but I never make him cry). After we walked around the water we went on a bike path, and we saw lots and lots of people on two wheeled riding things. Most of them said hi, lots said we were really pretty. Mom and dad said we were the best dogs ever.

We never even blinked, we stood on the side as the riding people went by, and did our best impression of the good dogs Johnna brought. Not the heathens we sometimes turn into. Oh jeez. Quigley, just did that. Dad came down from bed and he hurt his foot, so I gotta go and calm dad down. I think he’s going to cry.

Love, Annie and the in trouble Quigley
