The many adventures of Bubs and Maisy


So I was reading my friends blog and she was sharing the many wonderful things that happen to you when you share your home with mans best friend and it got me thinking.....we have 2 dogs so does that mean double the fun? So here are some of the many adventures we have had with Bubs - a lab-pitbull mix and Maisy - a boxer.

Maisy-
* We have lost 1.5 couches to her. Apparently de-stuffing a couch is a lot of fun
* She has eaten the following in her 3 years of life: 2 bags of hershey kisses - with tinfoil, a cheese wheel, 1lb of butter, 3 bags of apple crumble cake mix, a loaf of bread and many sandwiches Steve has made and left on the counter to get a drink.
* Both have had encounters with rat poison (christmas eve 3 years ago)
* She is allergic to everything including some kinds of grass (which makes for interesting camping stories)
* Breaks the same toenail every 3-4 months
* Jumps our fence every other day (but comes back every night at the same time)
* Has an extremely sensitive stomach.....probably due to the earlier comment
* She attempts to swim, but looks like she is drowning
* Brings us her dog bowls when he have forgotten to fill them
* She love balls and any kind of toy that squeaks! She can sit, stay, give hi-fives, lay down and fetch.

Bubs-
* Swims like a fish and could fetch balls in the lake ALL day long!
* Love to hunt birds and other creatures in the backyard...including Maisy
* Buries every bone you give him in the backyard for a later date in time
* Loves to help me give Laker his bath...he is a great supervisor
* The best dog ever! He listens, does all the dog tricks, does not get into mischief and puts up with the boxer.

They both love to play with Laker or should I say "take his abuse", go running with me in the summers and wrestle with each other. Even though I want to ship Maisy off to a funny farm every other day we love our dogs and the endless amounts of entertainment they provide!
