Something came to visit

Her name is Pepper.
Auggie loved her.
She thought Auggie was stupid... and she might be right.






Auggie's like OOOOMG PLAY WITH MEEEEE and she's like "ew no you're weird."




Auggie says "but but but..."






She's so dark on her back, just like Kota. My mom was watching us play in the yard out the kitchen window, and I called Pepper and she ran across the yard to me and jumped up to give me kisses. My mom could only see Pepper from behind and when I came back in she was kind of choked up and said "For a minute there it looked like you and Kota." Then she looks at Pepper and says "Kota didn't want to play much with Auggie either." Hahahaha... it's true.

Auggie's the biggest flirt in the world and normally ALL the bitches love him, but he is really stumped that Pepper doesn't want to play. I think she will play with him tomorrow. Today she is just trying to get settled in here I think. She kind of has acted like she wants to play with him some but just isn't sure. In Pepper's defense the dog is in fact an idiot. He has run into the wall like four times in his zoomies.

Auggie is currently trying his hardest... tailwagging everywhere and she looks mildly interested... then he just barked and playbowed and she walked away. So he got a toy and she's looking at it but won't touch it. Poor poor Auggie.



Auggie says "this one is broken can I have another?"
I'm not kidding, he just tried to get her to play again, and when she wouldn't he turned to me and barked in my face.

Auggie's pumpkin break

I took these when I came home for my lunch break one day...








Slightly guilty face... he was trying to sneak a nibble on the pumpkin stem.


I did the exact same thing I did last year - set up the pumpkins too far apart. Again, I apparently think I have more than one dog. Two dogs would fill that space perfectly. Two and a small puppy.


LOL


LOOOOOL


SQUIRREL????




Serious Auggie is serious.


Lookin' at a little punkin...



Lookin' at a big punkin...


"Pfeh" says Auggie. This is in response to me trying to make him put his paws up on the pumpkin. He says no wai.




I think this is a good photo for everybody that meets Auggie and goes "OMG, he's SO MUCH SMALLER than I thought!" It gives an idea of scale...

That's it! Nothing spectacular but what can you do. I only had like ten minutes before I needed to go back to work.

Also he tried to nom my knee while I was carrying the pumpkins out to the yard. Thanks Auggie.

More bad bad bad Auggiemonster

I wanted to take some funny pics of Auggie with his Fetching Tag to send to the company so I got out his Auggles.







Then, while I was at it, we got some outtakes...




And a couple of other good shots.



I's not up to n-e-thing. I's good dog. Not brat at alls.

Auggie gets a Fetching Tag

I ordered Auggie a tag from Fetching Tags. I wanted one for a while but wasn't positive what to put on it. The first thing I came up with was "bad bad bad to the bone." "Why bad bad bad?" my mom asked. "The song goes b-b-b-b-bad." "Yes," I answered, "but Auggie is a bad, bad, BAD dog."
I kept changing my mind though. Maybe something to do with sheep. Maybe a tennis ball obsession reference. Something about being a brat? Something about being a boy dog and he can't HELP it if he's pretty, he's NOT a girl? Or maybe simply "bitches love me?"
But for some reason, I just kept coming back to "bad bad bad to the bone." I couldn't get past it. So I finally decided to take the plunge and order it... and here it is.


How it will normally sit, since he wears a martingale - his tags normally rest near his shoulders.


Talkin' back about something... he wanted the cookie I had. I believe I asked him if he wanted it and this was "yes I wants the cookie."


It was windy and it kept messing up my shot by blowing his fur in the way, LOL.






Of course, he has so much fur, this is sort of how it's going to look normally...


or like this...


Just the tag. Oh my God I just love it.


The back of the tag with my phone number... and you better believe I wanted the little skull icon on there! That just makes the whole thing complete.

I LOVE this tag. I ordered the medium size for Auggie because I figured that was the only way to get the whole tagline to fit, and I'm glad I did. You can actually see the tag under all his fur - not always 100% clearly, but definitely better than anything smaller. It catches attention - people have asked me about it at agility meets. It looks heavy but it's actually incredibly lightweight. I really couldn't be happier with this tag.


Have a few more pics from while we were outside-


You has a ball?


Throw the ball.


YES I WANT THE BALL THROW IT


(This is why shelties are "loose eyed" herders... it's not really an intense stare like a BC has. He REALLY wants the ball in that last one but he still looks like a big snuggleyboo... or maybe that's just Auggie.)

Do you think adorableness is hereditary?

Because if it is... and I get a puppy from Auggie's brother... I might be in big trouble.












WHY DOES HE NEVER STOP SMILING
AAAAAH
I think my dog has a perpetual happy.


Can I just say that sometimes, "heart dog" doesn't even seem sufficient as a way to describe how much I love this dog?

Patriotic Puppy... or, dyeing your dog with sidewalk chalk

You can hardly see the blue. D= It sort of just looks like he killed something. I swear I was going for "red, white, and blue" rather than "murdered a bird and ate it."


I said "cookie?" to get him to look at me. Does he look like he distrusts me to you..?


You can see the blue here better.

And a few from the day before...

He was so happy until I coloured him with red and blue.....




What Auggie thinks of being coloured with sidewalk chalk.
