English Cocker Spaniels

This is Bill and Ben. They are English Cocker Spaniels, as well as great buds! :-)

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I started coming down with something last night and am feeling pretty sick today. I had to pass up our plans to go watch basketball live and instead lay on the couch watching television next to a box of tissues.

Wish me luck in getting better!

Dognabbit's One Year Anniversary!

To Celebrate, I am going to show you how to throw a Dog Party!


Find a Place
The best place I can think of to throw a dog birthday party is at a park made especially for dogs. Here you can let your dog celebrate its birthday by sniffing every piece of dirt, dog booty, and caterpillar that they want.



Find a Theme
If you have a terrier, make the theme digging for the mole, or if you have a boy lab make sure to bring along plenty of fire hydrants, and if you have any sort of girl toy dog you might want to opt for a princess party.



Food Ideas
*Plenty of water and lots of water bowls!

*Plenty of doggy treats. Some of my favorite include:

*Dog Birthday Cake!

Games
What’s a birthday party without games? Here are some fun ideas!
1) Hide the Kong: fill a Kong toy with treats, and let the winner keep the Kong

2) Obstacle Course: Set up an obstacle course, but make sure dogs of all sizes can play. Feel free to use orange cones, kiddy pools, tunnels, and toys. Offer up a gourmet treat to the one who finishes first.

3) Bone Hunt: buy a few bones and hide them in different areas of the yard. The dog who finds the most bones (or finishes theirs first) wins a gourmet bone.

4) Tug of War!: Bring plenty of ropes and let the dogs fight to win the rope. Winners will receive rope and more room for an ego.


5) Fetch for All: Get a ton of balls and throw them for the dogs. Let them chase the balls for hours!

This blog has been a great experience this year. I have had a blog since I was 14 years old and thought that I should do something in the blog world that was actually fun for someone. I visited CuteOverLoad.com all the time and wanted a blog that would be just about dogs. I was on the look out for blogs about dogs but was unable to find anything that I was actually interested (at first).

Throughout the year I have made my blog the way I want it, and in the meantime have discovered many dog blogs that are also awesome. I have made a lot of friends, and shared a lot of things with people through this blog. I am very happy that I have been able to share it all with you. I appreciate every comment that I receive! It honestly makes me smile when I get them.

Thank you for being such a great crowd. I have enjoyed sharing pictures of dogs with you, as well as my life story for those who care. I hope you enjoyed the blog as much as I did : -)

There will be plenty more this year, and I have a lot more new ideas!

Also, on a side note, I always try to add sources to people’s photos, but sometimes I forget or am just too overwhelmed with too many photos (like today). So if it bothers you that I have your photo on here without credit, please let me know who you are and I will gladly put it on the site.

One Day Before....

One day before my Dognabbit Anniversary.

Tomorrow, my blog will have been active for an entire year. I will do a post about the year tomorrow, and for now check out...



Mike sent this in today, and reccomends that everyone watch it. I tried to just now, but my volume is being wacky on my computer.

Let me know what you think!

Sleepy Spudgy

You have to check out this movie clip. It is making me want to cry with laughter. hahaha!


I think I am going to start adding a video every once in awhile of cute pups. I like the new addition.

Life here has been pretty good. The weekend was nice, but today was blah. Working on a Monday is never good, so I can't REALLY complain. After work Mike and I went to the park with the pups. It was a good time. It was Ender's first time back after his surgery. He loved it!

Now I have to get some other things wrapped up, and then sleep like Spudgy. I felt like him all day. Hahah. :-)

I hope everyone has been doing well. Sorry there have been a lack of posts recently. Life has been nuts! With work, my internet being down, and my friend Andrea being in town, I have not had much time to post.

But... I can't complain, because everything has (for the most part) been awesome.
