Dal-entine & Vall-entine's Day!!!

The Stump Kids got to celebrate Valentine's Day (aka "Dal-entie's Day" or "Vall-entine's Day") a week early with the Bluegrass Barkery's Valentine's Day party last weekend.

Activities included making their own Valentines:

And, of course, a turn in the kissing booth with their (boy)friends, the Brews Brothers:

Stout & LaMesa

Porter, Dally & John (it's a complicated love triangle…)

The girls eve made The Daily Corgi's annual Valentine's Day post: Day Three

Puppy kisses to you this day of love!!

Happy Easter from The Stump Kids

The Stump Kids celebrated Easter with a quick walk around the University of Kentucky Arboretum--I ran a very hilly half-marathon yesterday so I needed to shake out the legs and they wanted out and about.

Afterwards, they got to see what the Easter Bunny (or "Easter Hundy" as LaMesa calls him) brought them: Some "Bunny Ears" (OK, they're really pig ears, but don't tell them that):

Then apparently LaMesa wanted some of the chocolate Matt got me because she was caught red-pawed in the middle of opening up a Reese Peanut Butter Egg.

"I don't know who would do such a thing, mom!"

Luckily we stopped her before we had a repeat of Halloween 2011 (where she ate 8 fun sized Snickers bars, with no upset stomach afterwards).

Hope your pups enjoyed the holiday!!

Relaxing At Home

Agility training and trials have been slow goings for us, so not much to talk about training or trial-wise, so I thought I'd share a few photos of the girls just relaxing at home.

(Dally would be so embarrassed if she found out this photo of her in an inappropriate position was streaming the inter-webs.)

One of the rare times LaMesa has sat still long enough for me to get a good photo of her!

This was the girls' Valentine's Day photo. 

Dally: "Appy Dal-entine's Day!" 

LaMesa: "Happy Valhund-entine's Day!"

We return to action this weekend in Ohio, so we'll have updates from there!!
