Bailey & Stella's Post-Walk Down Time

Please enjoy this morning's photos of Bailey and Stella post-walk down time at beautiful Simmers Young Park  [click the link]

We All Share!

Yesterday for our Facebook timeline photo, I posted this photo of my Bailey:

and stated how he is such a bed-hog when other dogs come for sleepovers. He is very quick to settle into another dogs bed or kennel, as he did here on November 22 in Lyra's bed & kennel.

Here's 2 more photos of his settlin'-in:

Quite relaxed, wouldn't you say?

...and not one bit of guilt over it either....

I don't want to give the impression that Bailey just takes over when other dogs are present. While he is bed & toy possessive, he's also very non-chalant about other dogs in his sleeping spaces or playing with his toys.

Today, case-in-point: Both Lyra & Stella, 2 of our regular daytime attendees, felt very much at home in Bailey's kennel which is situated in our dining room area. It always has the door open so any K9 can use it. 

Perhaps it is the very cushy comforter which is what makes it so inviting: :)

The Girls had spent most of morning outside so now we kickin' back

Then just a few moments ago, Stella was doing the ZZZZZ's and Lyra just crawled in too! 

Funny Girls!

And, as previously stated, Bailey freely shares his toys, like this 16 squeaker serpent that Lyra really enjoys! :)

More dog activities on November 14

Today Was A Running Day!

More great temperatures lure the dogs outside to run, run, and run!

Stella and Bailey, November 12, 2012

We began our day, as always, with a great energetic walk/jog.

This may appear like beach sand but it's the soil that has been cleared to build a new dog park near the Auburndale Softball Complex, adjacent to Simmers Young Park

(unsure of completion date but sure am excited about it)

Bailey & Stella trot along together very companionably

They were both onto a scent; unsure if it was an armadillo or what....

Here's pretty Stella with her wind-blown fur after the walk

Bailey slurps up the water he needs after his vigorous walk/jog

Stella was initially a bit unsure about the mutt mug, but when she saw the ice cubes, she didn't hesitate

Stella pretty pup & Bailey handsome fellow

My handsome boy chillaxin'

Boarding Stella 11-10-12 to 11-15-12

Stella the Australian Labradoodle puppy is dear to us as she began spending half days with us since March when she was itsy bitsy in size.

Stella is now higher and longer than Bailey!

She's staying with us for 5 days so I'll be posting her activities for her favorite fan, her MOM, to see! :)

Sunday, Nov. 11: I said, "on your mark, get set" and they're ready to GO!

(for morning walk)

Hour long morning walk at Simmers-Young Park in Winter Haven, only 2.4 miles from our home.

It's my and Bailey's fav place to walk/jog and explore.

Bailey & Stella have spent most of the afternoon out in the yard and are now inside (3:35 pm) laying back. 

Stella's having a good chomp on her chewy.

A fun Autumn playdate and dirty paws

With these wonderful cooler temperatures in the morning, the dogs love to stay outside the whole playdate! Here were our attendees today:

Juno & Bailey: Sometimes they sit in the shade

Sometimes they lay around in the sun

There is a significant area of shade heavy with dew when the dogs arrive in the morning and they were VERY rambunctious this morning (see video) 

and while running to and fro, they all accumulated a great degree of dirt on their paws.

I was able to wipe off Bailey's, Lyra's and Juno's, however because of the type of fur on and the color of Stella's fur on her paws, 

I decided I'd better try to clean them as best I could before sending her home!

I resorted to dipping them in water to try to wash off. She wasn't too keen on the idea, so I did it as quickly as I could. See the resulting color of the water!!!!

and the color of Stella's paws: not as good as I wished but not as dirty as before :)

All in all, another PAWZITIVE day at Pawzitive FX!

Stella enjoys rebounding

Of course, she wasn't actually rebounding; I was just sitting with her on it and cuddling her, as she was recovering from an ear infection so while cuddling her, I was lifting her ears up for some air circulation.

She's not with us today, as her mom wants to keep her close and keep an eye on her as she's not feeling her usual self. We miss you Stella and wish you a speedy recovery!
