Tanks' Sixth Birthday

It's so hard to believe that Tank turned six years old on Monday. As we always do, we had a birthday party with iced carrot muffins, however, a smaller than normal party. Blast and Kira were not invited (poor dogs!) as we were pressed for time and also couldn't do it the following day. Trust wore her own princess hat, Storm was just dying for 'extra' food, and Tank was as excited as always.

Tank is saying, "Come on, come on, blow out the candles!!!"Tank receives a new tugga-wubba while he waits for his muffin.We decided to move to the kitchen for the goodies, and Tank is getting very anxious, watching a piece being broken off and given to Storm. He is saying "I can almost taste it now!"What a good boy! A piece dropped right in front of him, I told him to "Leave It" and he's just dying...mentally 'willing' it to wiggle over to him. I told him he could have it and they each got their own little birthday muffin. We got two each!!!

It's All Fun for Kira

Foolish me wondered if Kira would hesitate to take a running jump up into the truck for her favorite ball....the ball barely 'beat' her up!This was one I "planted" and it was buried behind and under a hefty log. When she first discovered it, she looked at me, then dug right in to move the log out far enough to grab the ball.Out we come...did a few ball throws into the truck, then moved on to the barn.Ball is wedged back in behind and under things; she's just pushed her way in between bike tire and snow blower and now has to find it.It is under the side of the generator, and she's pawing at it to move it enough to get her head in to grab it...and she does. Then she squeezed out on the other side of the blower to come back with it.Off we went for some throws into the bush with a couple of new balls. Great fun!
