Just BePaws I Love You

http://btc4animals.com/weekly-cause/3rd-annual-national-childrens-pet-poetry-contest/

This essay is a paw-rific project the girls will be entering about the puppy loves of their life just BePaws they love them. Every minute Apollo & Athena are up to something worth stretching into a cute story. My mind wants to write it all down and this year I am not gonna let writing slip away. It is the one thing that brings me so much joy it is undescribable. So Paw with Me. The girls write all the time as well, wonder where that came from, and I can't wait to read what creative poem they come up with...I have a feeling Emily will add flavor with her very talented illustrations. Especially her cute puppy she can draw. I take lessons from her and kids at school are always asking of her to draw them something or make these awesome circle friends she makes out of paper. You would never know I appreciate my daughters art work walking into my home, it just happens to be framed everywhere on my walls and I have more stored away to eventually put up. I much would love to start adding to their awards for creativity. Who knows this poetry contest could lead to one. Keeping my puppies paws crossed.
Apollo & Athena have been growing so fast and I love watching their little personalities develop. Athena likes to consider herself "the boss" whether it is chew toys or treats her nose is on top of it first or at least she tries. Apollo, however, is king of the food bowl his nose seems to never leave hence why he is a tail bigger.
New Ear's Day came with the celebration of Pigs Ears...wow did they love the first wiff of those...Good thing we bought a big bag. I have never seen puppies sit & give a high five so fast. We are working on the down, stay, heal, sit up, and saying please...presently that's a little ahead of them yet. But they'll get it.
Soon the girls will be up and today it's back to school, sadly, I wish there was a fast forward button to push and that it was summer break already :(
But Apollo & Athena will be well on their way to walking them to the bus stop this morning...They love being outside playing and are getting really good on the leash.
I am just still fascinated by their quick adjustment to the kennel for over 2 weeks now they have not a peep come out of them and during the day they sometimes opt to just go take a nap in their or lay down with their chew toy.
I have to commend the "Clicker" training method, they respond so well to their behaviors with it...I can see why it is used in training whales, TV animals etc. I guess consistency pays off.
Well Back to Monday Motivations!

Happy New Ear!


Happy New Ear Apollo~
Apollo is the first of the two to be stuck with one ear up and one down. It is the cutest thing watching him run/walk around with excitement with his one Happy New Ear. It happened 2 days ago when I noticed the one ear starting to perk up and stay in place because they just have been flopping down thus far. Poor Athena is my late bloomer in this New Ears Day but I have a feeling she won't be tailing to much far behind. So I continue to take pics for one day soon I will have two Happy New Ears to snap away at. I think this calls for a Pig Ears Treat!
