Buddy and Balls

We have lots of dogs in our neighborhood. #Buddy is either afraid of other dogs or enjoys playing with them. He is never aggressive.

#Molly is small, but she doesn’t seem to know it. She thinks she can take on any size dog. She only plays nicely with one or two other dogs.

Buddy loves to pick up other dogs’ toys on his walks. At the moment, we have two tennis balls and a baseball #Buddy has carried home during his walks. He’s quite possessive of these purloined playthings. He won’t let me have a ball to play fetch with him.

My husband got a text from a neighbor. “Smokey has a bone to pick with you. Buddy took his baseball.”

Smokey might be the owner of those tennis balls, too. We will have to teach Buddy to be a good neighbor and return what he borrows.

Sampling the #Snow

#Buddy loves a #snowday! He jumps with delight through the white powder, then stops to sample some. That’s snow on his chin, not a white goatee.

#Molly steps off the deck, does what she needs to, and returns to the door to come back inside. She NOT a snow dog! I ordered #dogshoes for #Molly, but they were the wrong size and she didn’t like wearing them.

Molly is a #Frenchton, a French Bulldog and Boston Terrier mix.

The FLEXI Retractable Leash *Limited-Time Sale*

Our county has a #leashlaw, and since our yard is unfenced, we clip on a #leash almost every time we take #Buddy and #Molly outside. Our favorite is the FLEXI retractable leash.

As of this posting, the Black, 26′ leash is on #SALE at 37% OFF! I picked up two at $26.89 each.

Eventually, even a well-made leash, like the #FLEXI, wears out. I like to have a replacement on hand so I don’t have to wait for delivery of a new one, or pay the regular price when I need it.

I can apply the brakes on the German-made #FLEXI leash with the press of a button. If I choose to keep the dogs on a short leash, I can set it to my desired length. It isn’t difficult to hold two leashes in one hand.

Dog Sunglasses

Incognito: Please, no pictures.

These Dog Sunglasses for large and medium breeds sure do look cute on Buddy. I like them because you get two pairs for under $20, one dark lense and one clear lense. I like to have him wear them when we go out on the boat. Unlike a lot of dogs, Buddy doesn’t like the wind blowing in his face, and the glasses help.

The Answer for #DirtyDogs: Magic Sponge Eraser

No hype. The Magic Sponge Eraser really does work like magic!

My dogs left a streak of dirt about 18 inches high on the hallway wall. Ugg. It was embarrassing. Here’s a picture:

Then I dampened a #MagicEraser sponge with water and began to wipe. The wall was so dirty I had to rinse the sponge several times. But it really did work like magic. Here is the after photo:

You can see the wall is still a little damp in some places, but the dirt is gone! No harsh chemicals. (I will have to get a little mud to smooth over the gouge left by the HVAC workers.) To clean the sponge, I rinsed it with a dab of dish soap, and it is good to use again!

Aussie-walrus?

This two-pronged antler looks like tusks or fangs! Silly #Buddy.

My Fishing Buddy

When we go out on the water, I always wear a PFD, and make sure Buddy does, too.

I use a compressed air vest like the Onyx, because it is #cooler in the summer and less bulky than the traditional #lifejacket. When you go out fishing, you never think an accident will put you in the water. But I’ve seen too many #fail videos where that happens. A little precaution will make sure Buddy and I both come home #safe.

Baby Buddy

Baby Buddy and Lamb Chop

A nice neighbor gave #Buddy a #LambChop toy! Here’s a picture of #LambChop after #Molly chewed on her! Maybe you should order two if you have an #agressivechewer!

When #Buddy was a baby, his sister #Molly was bigger than him. Molly is a #Frenchton (French Bull Dog and Boston Terrier). #doglovers
