The Sheltie Doodles arrived in the mail!


We received the Sheltie Doodles in the mail that we ordered from the ETSY shop.  We love them.  In the photo, I (Lassie) am on the left and Benji is on the right. 
We ordered the Sheltie Doodles that the Cowspot Dog's mom made, and let us tell you pawsonally, that the Doodles are very pawsome!!!  We received them super quick in the mail, butt our Mommy was too tired/lazy to help us post the picture and video sooner.    We ordered them on the ETSY shop, it was super easy to order stuff and it came real fast.  There's a lot of neat doodles on there, and the proceeds benefit Elephants.  How cool is that! 

We made a short video of us opening the package.  We were so excited.  I have to warn you, I bark non-stop in the video, so make sure you wear earplugs when you watch the video, ok.

Thanks again Cowspot Dog's Mom for doodling them.  We will take good care of the doodles.

Mish Mash Trash Can

Our bathroom Trash Can has been Mish Mashed!!!   Grandma complained that it was too hard to press the silver color  latch to get the lid open on the Trash Can. It seemed like the lid kept getting stuck and you couldn't open it.  So, Mommy fixed it with duct tape!  She added a little piece of cardboard so the lid wouldn't lock shut -- and said to herself, that looks like a tongue.  So, Mommy made a dog out of the duct tape.  Not her best work -- butt we are sure it's going to be some conversation piece at the next holiday when guests come over.  (In the picture, I, Lassie, am on the left, and Benji is on the right.  Benji is taller than me - unless you count my ear sticking up -- then I'm taller by an ear!!!)

Mish Mash Monday - Dreams?

Mommy's Mish Mash Monday Dream

Mommy had a dream this morning. She dreamt she was shopping at a regular grocery store and there was a lady there selling some gourmet chocolate.  The chocolate was very expensive, Mommy doesn't remember exactly what the price was.  There were 2 types of chocolate: milk chocolate and dark chocolate.

When Mommy looked at the name on the wrapper of the milk chocolate bar it said "Lassie" on it.   Then she looked at the name of the wrapper of the dark chocolate bar and it said "Benji" on it.

Mommy said, "I'll take a dozen of each!"  (Mind you, Mommy could never afford 24 gourmet chocolate bars - she only wanted to buy them was because the chocolate bars were named Lassie and Benji .) 

So, then the lady selling the chocolate bars said, "You know, we sell those chocolates in bricks too!"  And then she pulled out bricks of chocolates with Lassie and Benji names all over it!



Mommy didn't know what to do -- Mommy said, "I'll just take the bars of chocolate" and the saleslady said, "Are you sure you don't want the bricks of chocolate -- you know they have Lassie and Benji names on it."  Mommy felt horrible about not buying the bricks of chocolate, and didn't know what to do -- she probably would have to take out a loan or something because it was going to be super expensive!  Mommy was in a panic.  So, Mommy said, "I just want the bars of chocolate, I'm sure." It was time for Mommy to pay the lady.  Mommy opened her purse and reached her hand in her purse, and wasn't sure if she made the right decision...

Then Mommy woke up.

Grandma said dreams on Monday morning don't come true.  (Too bad, Mommy is in the mood for some chocolate!)


Mommy thinks part of her dream has to do with Benji being a naughty boy over the weekend on Saturday-- he did potty in the house, twice.  He had plenty of chances to go in the yard, butt he just stood in the doorway or goofed around on the back porch (Gilligan). He doesn't normally do potty in the house, so this was very odd.   We think he was just testing us -- and decided to be bad and show his dark side to see if he could get away with it.

Mommy made Benji sit outside as his time-out for about 10 minutes.  I was very apologetic to Mommy on Benji's behalf -- I kept offering my paw to Mommy and giving her these puppy dog faces on behalf of Benji being bad (aren't I a good big brother or what!)  On Sunday, Benji was a good boy and didn't do any potty in the house.

 Mommy loves us both equally, even if Benji apparently has a dark side!  Guess that's why she bought the same number of chocolate bars.  

Not sure about the brick part of the dream.  Maybe it has to do with just being happy with the little things you got.   Butt, I think Mommy is still going to buy a lottery ticket anyway, just in case she analyzed the dream wrong!   :)   

Anyone else dreaming of chocolate too -- or is it just Mommy?
