Smells like wet dog!

HAVE YOU MET OUR KIDS?!

I can't believe I haven't blogged about our pups! We have three pups! Ella, Bently, and Rocco.

Ella is a Dalmador (Dalmation - Labrador Mix). Her original name was Cruella (Creative right? Her face must have been the inspiration behind that name) but Alicia wasn't too fond of that name so it was shortened to Ella. Ella is the oldest and most mischievous of our pups.  She's been known to clear a 6 foot fence in a single leap! 

Bently is a Golden Retriever. He's probably the most friendly dog you'll ever meet! I think it's in their breed, I know other people who have the same dog and they always say that their dog wouldn't even harm a fly. We actaully adopted Bently from our friends Ryan and Heather Walter when they moved to the east coast. Bently is quite the pup! He follows whatever Ella does and one day that landed him a stay in the Dog/Cat Hospital in San Bernardino after he was injured by a car!! He's all healed now and is usually the one who starts an impromptu wrestling match with either Ella or Rocco.

 

Rocco is a weimaraner and is the youngest of our pups. He was my Christmas present from Alicia two years ago!  He's been such a handful! You should have seen how much trouble he's gotten into in the past... amazing. But he's probably the one pup that tries the hardest to listen and behave, he's cute. He just has so much energy and is still very puppy like in his demeanor. Loves to lick, play, and wimper for attention.

So the other day Alicia and I were talking about how our dogs (Ella and Bently) use to love playing in the water at the dog park in Redlands.  While Alicia is enjoying a girls day at Glen Ivy spa I went out to K-Mart and found a cheap hard plastic dog pool for our pups as the summer days grow longer and hotter! I filled up the pool and of course who jumps in immediately? Ella. By breed, Ella and Bently are natural water lovers. Rocco is freaked out by it - I think he thinks of water as nothing more than a means of hydration.

Well, there you have it.  Our pups, our kids! Have a great day!
