Bubble Trouble

We thought this would be a fun video to share :) Sorry it's not a really great picture, we had to compress it to get it online. This is our new bubble chasing activity.  Disney was a bit afraid of the bubbles the first time we pulled them out but now, as you can see she loves them.  For those who don't know Disney is in the pink collar and Walle is in the Blue. They are from the same litter and and just barely 13 months old.  Chewbacca (Chewey for short) is the little beagle-terrier-something and he is just ten months old. We have a lot of fun at our house and them seem to be loving their lives here with us.  I hope you enjoyed this simple look into puppy play time at the Maughans.

Armadillos at midnight, well 9 o'clock

So we have new neighbors. They moved in about two weeks ago and they have a dog! The puppies aren't used to having four legged neighbors so there has been a lot more barking going on at our house. They are getting better and will stop when asked, usually.  So tonight when they ran outside and started barking I was sure neighbor dog had just come out to get some fresh air.  I tried to call them back inside; Chewey running came, Disney came half way and Walle just kept barking.  Finally I decided that it must be something other than the dog next door.  I put on my shoes, well one of them because the other has gone missing since this afternoon. (Maybe it's joined the toy raccoon in the backyard somewhere?) So I hobbled over to the fence and could hear leaves rustling near the neighbors house. We went in and found Braden's head lamp, the only flashlight we own, and went to investigate.  Sure enough there was an Armadillo trying to burrow in the leaves.  Poor thing was probably terrified, we finally had to carry Walle inside because he was not going to leave his post :)

So the moral of the story is,
1) Beware my alert dog Walle, he will not let you enter if you are an Alabama Rodent
2) We need to buy another flash light
3) No more leaving my shoes in the living room

Okay, well the Maughan's have decided to rejoin the blog world. I, Jami, am now a stay at home puppy mommy.  My Student Teaching is done and I am just trying to figure out how to get the graduation paperwork done from Alabama. Braden is starting his actual flight training today and should be flying a helicopter for the first time on day eleven :) Needless to say, he's pretty excited. 

I thought I would give an update on the puppies and this role in the house.

This is the regular saturday morning activity. Braden with my princess blanket, Disney takes any place she wants and Chewey slides on in, or jumps on top.  Now for those of you who don't know Chewey is our newest addition.  We adopted him when he was eight weeks old and now he's six months old.  He's a beagle-terrier mix and he and his litter we abandoned in dumpster in Dothan, Al.

Chewey and Walle had their issues at first.  Walle had decided that he wanted to be the man of the house and a new puppy wasn't what he was planning on.  But now, as you can see above, they are cuddle buddies.

Chewey is also my cuddle bug. He is some how always able to find the smallest of places to snuggle up to. It is so cute, but his nose is so cold!

Last of all our puppy pictures. First, yes that is me in my Christmas pjs :) Disney is underneath as I pin her to the ground so that we can try and clip her toe nails. We didn't get many clipped but is made for a great picture :) We need to try something new.  The treats work for the boys but she just runs away when she sees the clippers anywhere near her feet. We never even clipped it too short so I don't know what to do.

Well, that's a quick update and a chance for me to practice putting pictures on this thing.  I hope it works out and I really hope I can keep up with this thing.  Thanks for caring about us! We love you all!
