Playdate with More Litter Mates!

Ever since I started working, Chai has plenty of daily playtime with his sister, Nubikins. Last weekend we discovered that if we don't take Chai out for a walk or to the dog park for a couple hours on each weekend day, we will have a hyped-up Chai & an angry Starlet on our hands.

Two months ago we had a playdate with Nubikins & Jackson, Chai's brother who went up to Alaska which I blogged about here --> Three White Polar Bears. It's crazy to see how much they've changed in only 60 days! Yesterday we ventured out to the dog park to meet our breeder again who brought Nubikins & Tully, Chai's brother from up in FoCo.

On Our Way..

Once again, we feel blessed we got Chai instead of any of the other males in the litter. Tully is aggressive when he wants to push his weight around! The breeder said in a couple more months, he wouldn't even be able to go to a dog park.  Yikes! But for now... they can play nicely, for the most part!

Can you tell who is who?!

Fire on the Balcony

About a month ago, Matt thought a fire pot on our outside table would be AWESOME for the summer.  We purchased one at Lowe's to create a little outdoor oasis for the summertime. The fire pot has citronella gel that you literally light on fire and can extinguish with this little metal disc.

Fire Pot

After about a week of dining out, I cooked a simple dinner after work. While Bryan & I were getting seconds, Matt was sitting at the table ready to dig in. Chai, still thinking he's about 30 pounds & 20" tall, ran under the table and got his collar stuck.  Panic-stricken, Chai backed up as fast as he could. Matt's plate, one glass, two sodas, silverware, salt & pepper shaker, parmesan cheese, and fire pot landed all over the outdoor carpet, the table landed on Matt's foot, and the fire pot landed on Matt's drying shirt. Fire spread to two of the chairs, Matt's pants (that were on him), Chai's whiskers, and up the wall where Matt's shirt was drying. Luckily, Matt put the fire out while I was grabbing the fire extinguisher. All is well! Thank God!

RIP Shirt!

So...... how was your dinner?

BYE BYE SHOES -- AGAIN!

UGH!!!! PAIR NUMBER TWO. BYE BYE BANDOLINOS :0( Bye Bye New Shoes! If he does this to my Replacements he'll be DEAD! I can't afford to keep up with his shoe-chewing habits. Seriously.......... 

Mini Rhubarb Pie Bites

For our Mile High Great Pyrenees Club meeting, these Mini Rhubarb Pie Bites went like hot cakes! Our breeder gave us homegrown rhubarb from her garden which made even more delicious. You can find the recipe and many more on Bake'N'Forth. Perfect for sharing & just the right amount of pie! Scoop some vanilla bean ice cream right on top too!

Work

Mommy got a job! Finallyyyyyyyyy! Lots of changes for the puppies......

For the time being, Starlet will be holding down the fort for 10+ hours a day while Chai will be at his breeder's.  He'll be able to entertain his sister all day in their playpen and, hopefully, sleep the rest of the afternoon with us!

We're looking to rent a house ASAP! Wish us luck!
