I discovered a secret....

How to get Mindy to relax outside that is. Sugar just loves to plop down and relax in the sun. She doesn't mind the deck, but Mindy I found will pace and pace :)

So after work today I brought the basil and oregano planters outside in the back to be potted and the doggies followed.


After their visit to the yard Sugar came up and laid down while Mindy did a few laps around the picnic table. She started to act like she knew she was telling me something and I really wasn't getting it (happens sometimes). So, I picked her up and set her on the little green bench.... she just stood there. Ok definitely failed that one, but I did go and grab their blanket out of the sun room. I tried setting it under her on the bench and no, still standing.

I then tried setting it on the ground, Sugar immediately came and sat down even before the blanket was laid out. I then set Mindy down and she went right for the blanket, no hesitation, no lap around the table!

And then another cute pose.......



I swear I didn't bribe them! And Mindy is completely photogenic! Doesn't she look like she's laughing?

Don't forget you can leave comments underneath the blog post. :)

Cheers and Hugs!

Hi, Michelle, Jeremy, Mindy and Sugar - in no particular order. We were in Oberamergau yesterday and we saw a card that looked like a bichon and we were going to send it to you all and we hoped it said good luck and hope things go well and when we asked the lady there she said well it is something about luck but ... Yangling said tell her who you are sending it to and I did and she said, no no no it wouldn't be appropriate. She didn't want to sell anything very bad... So no cute card even though you wouldn't know what it said. But I am thinking about sending a postcard so don't assume all the mail is for us - ok?
I am thinking that you are enjoying some of the flowers that are starting to bloom. Do cut the iris in back and bring them in the house - no one can enjoy them back by the appletree fence.
Tell Mindy and Sugar that we talk to every dog we see on our way but none of them compare with their personalities or may I say we haven't seen any so clean or with ribbons in their hair.
Hope you didn't forget the Symphony - sorry I didn't remind you about the tickets on the fridge.
How are all the neighbors? Anything new going on?
Hope you are enjoying our house - you do remember that it is our house and our TV and we are coming back - right???
Maybe you should show the dogs our pictures once in awhile. haha
Thanks for everything - can't wait for the next addition of the Bichon Buzz.
Hugs to everyone - and scratch Mindy right ear for me.
Alma & their favorite Yangling
