Pee-mail Fire Hydrant !!!

We received our Fire Hydrant in the mail!  Thank you so much to the Cowspot Dogs!!!  We entered Reilly & Denny's Pee-mail Competition a couple of weeks ago (remember when we sniffed baby bunny peemail in those 2 clover flower patches in the yard), and we won first prize in the contest. 

We opened up the package (with a little help from Mommy's oldest niece) and it was like it was snowing in our living room.  The little white pellets from the packing Styrofoam were snowing all over the carpet - it was so exciting!

The first thing I (Lassie) did when it came out of the box, was try to chew the top knob of it - try to pick it up and tell Mommy where to put our brand new Fire Hydrant.  We know we want it in the yard, butt aren't sure where to put it.  So, temporarily it is by our Tomato Garden.  It looks nice there, maybe it will stay in that spot.

In other news.... Mommy noticed Benji starting lifting his leg to pee instead of squatting.  Instead of squatting a peeing a river in one area of the lawn -- Benji is lifting his leg and squirting a little on the bush, a little on the tree, a little on the bottom step of the deck...  (Grandma said, she liked when he used to squat and just pee in one spot of the yard.)  Congratulations to Big Ben -- You are a Man now   - You are a Big Dog now, eventhough Mommy still calls you her Puppy!

Looks like that Fire Hydrant is going to get a lot of use in our yard now!  None of us have christened it yet though -- at least not that Mommy knows of.

Our Fire Hydrant just opened from the box --see the snow on the floor from the packing styrofoam

We are so happy with the Fire Hydrant!   (Mommy kept pushing the wrong buttons on the camera to turn the flash off -- she wasn't able to figure it out in time while we were in this position.)

There's our Fire Hydrant by the Tomato Garden.

Mommy pulled weeds on Father's Day and she tied up the Cucumbers to those poles.  We even noticed some little cucumbers starting to grow.  How exciting! (This picture was taken on the Friday after Father's Day - the garden was planted on Mother's Day in May.)

Thanks again Cowspot Dogs for having the PeeMail Competition!  You guys rock!
