We as pet owners know it well.... <b><i>muddy paws!</i></b>&nbsp; That's right - adorable little paw prints turn not so adorable when they are tracked all through your house, onto your furniture and everywhere else you can imagine. So what do you do? While there are several ways to clean those furry toes before coming inside (<i>which I will share on my upcoming post this Friday at 4knines.com</i> ) one of my favs would definitely be teaching your dog to wipe his own paws at the door. I hear you asking... but how? Lets go!<br /><br /><h3><b>How to teach your dog to wipe his paws:</b></h3><br /><br /><ul><li>To start, you simply need a towel, treats and your pooch! - A blanket will work as well</li><li>Place the towel on the floor by your dog. If necessary, place a small treat under the towel.</li><li>Draw his attention to the the towel by tapping your finger there, or whatever works best for you.</li><li>Wait until your dog places his paws on the towel. Even the slightest touch to the towel with his paw, quickly praise and treat. (Or click and treat if you do clicker training)</li><li>Continue this until he realizes that he gets a yummy treat every time his paws touch the towel.</li></ul><br /><br /><b><i>- Side note: do not rush your dog to catch on. Take your time, and break it down into short training sessions once a day if need be.</i></b><br /><br />Once your dog understands the concept of the towel, its time to change it up a bit.<br />Your going to want to advance him on how he is touching the towel with his paws.<br />What I mean by that is, no more treats for simply touching the towel. Now you have to get him to paw at the towel AKA scratch at the towel. Your dog should catch onto this quickly because he will begin to wonder why he's not getting a treat for simply touching the towel now, so he should be a bit more vigorous with his paws on the towel in order to get what he wants. This is exactly what you want to happen. Once he shows more paw movement on the towel, praise (click) and treat with an extra yummy high value treat.<br /><br /><b><i>Once again, take your time, this may take more than one training session.</i></b><br /><b><i><br /></i></b><b><i><span style="color: #0b5394;">KEY INFO - always use the word "wipe" or "wipe your paws" the second he touches his paws to the towel.</span></i></b><br /><br />Remember - ignore anything else he does with the towel at this point. He may try to roll on it, sit on it, nose at it... ignore all of it until he goes nuts on it with those paws!!! Reward him like never before!! Repeat the process as much as you can while it is still fun for both of you.<br /><br />Now, you are well on your way to a cleaner floor!<br />Take that same towel, and place it on top of the mat you wish him to wipe his feet on in the end.<br />Continue your training in this spot. When you think he's ready, remove the towel and use the mat!<br />If he doesn't understand, put the towel back and let him learn at his own speed. Remove towel again the next day.<br /><br />An important thing to remember is not to only use this training on rainy muddy days. You want to keep this fresh in his mind, so teach him to wipe those paws every time he comes in from a potty break!<br /><br />Some people tend to skip the towel and teach on a floor mat to begin with, which can work, however I find using a towel he can move around with his paws seems to keep their attention better during the first part of training this trick.<br /><br /><b><i>That's it, thats all! Good luck with your training!</i></b><br /><b><i><br /></i></b><b><i>If you have anything to add, or any questions, please feel free to ask me in the comment section!</i></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ii9VZTpg_Dc/WOPIgow1lMI/AAAAAAAAYh4/X7a-UxA64GIQV1FTa9JYPKdw4q2Gd6ETwCEw/s1600/ppspring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ii9VZTpg_Dc/WOPIgow1lMI/AAAAAAAAYh4/X7a-UxA64GIQV1FTa9JYPKdw4q2Gd6ETwCEw/s400/ppspring.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We are co hosting The Pet Parade!<br />Along with co hosts: <a href="http://bionicbasil.blogspot.ca/">Bionic Basil</a>, and <a href="http://mkclinton.com/">Barking From The Bayou</a><br />Your host: <a href="http://rascalandrocco.com/">Rascal And Rocco</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><!-- start InLinkz script --> <br /><div class="InLinkzContainer" id="626573"><a href="http://www.inlinkz.com/new/view.php?id=626573" rel="nofollow" title="click to view in an external page.">An InLinkz Link-up</a></div><script src="https://static.inlinkz.com/cs2.js" type="text/javascript"></script><!-- end InLinkz script -->Jenna,Mark Dradyhttps://plus.google.com/109185368773297955316[email protected]19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355843327756900496.post-7650768591182014052017-03-20T17:21:00.001-04:002017-03-20T17:21:43.500-04:00Winter MemoriesSpring is here!

I'm not sure many of you knew, but a few months ago my entire laptop crashed. The same laptop that I blogged with every day, the same laptop that held every single one of my photos, my files, everything. And I mean everything! I was stuck with a tablet that refused to load half of what I was trying to do. Talk about frustrating. UGH! I thought I had lost everything for good. And see... I am one of those people who never thought that would happen, and didn't bother backing up my files, or my photos. <i>That was a mistake... I was crushed</i>.<br /><br />However - I found my hero! The guys at Apollo Computers here in my town saved the day. It took them a bit, but they were finally able to recover my files, replace my hard-drive, and voila! <i>Mama's got her Vaio back</i>! ;)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IxaAXpbFE0Q/WMQpitIC4rI/AAAAAAAAYfM/YXqqTXko2Tg0e4thK_gDgidIkVp3KHZiwCEw/s1600/lexus-work1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IxaAXpbFE0Q/WMQpitIC4rI/AAAAAAAAYfM/YXqqTXko2Tg0e4thK_gDgidIkVp3KHZiwCEw/s400/lexus-work1.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><br /><br />Now if I can just convince Lexus to get her paws off of it!<br />I think she's trying to tell me something.... probably saying <i>hey mom, if u don't get back to blogging now that you have your laptop back, i'll do it for you</i>!!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wZ61NNQtcuA/WMQpim_DeLI/AAAAAAAAYfM/JQwo42WrP1cTn6-KXISTrij45PgpdsnvwCEw/s1600/lexus-work3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wZ61NNQtcuA/WMQpim_DeLI/AAAAAAAAYfM/JQwo42WrP1cTn6-KXISTrij45PgpdsnvwCEw/s400/lexus-work3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d72j2Z4RUKY/WMQsCAbuFqI/AAAAAAAAYfU/wPFEnwcNvCo-nYdocuWGJ9ABXrddgFsagCLcB/s1600/pawprints.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="65" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d72j2Z4RUKY/WMQsCAbuFqI/AAAAAAAAYfU/wPFEnwcNvCo-nYdocuWGJ9ABXrddgFsagCLcB/s320/pawprints.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DYRtwkXYpmk/WMQuJES5bII/AAAAAAAAYfo/ira9ZAMkSQEoBwUbi-t2wrInuovOExu-QCLcB/s1600/pp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DYRtwkXYpmk/WMQuJES5bII/AAAAAAAAYfo/ira9ZAMkSQEoBwUbi-t2wrInuovOExu-QCLcB/s400/pp.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We are co hosting the Pet Parade blog hop!<br />With - <a href="http://bionicbasil.blogspot.ca/">Bionic Basil</a>, and <a href="http://mkclinton.com/">Barking From The Bayou</a><br />Your host - <a href="http://rascalandrocco.com/">Rascal And Rocco</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><!-- start InLinkz script --> <br /><div class="InLinkzContainer" id="626573"><a href="http://www.inlinkz.com/new/view.php?id=626573" rel="nofollow" title="click to view in an external page.">An InLinkz Link-up</a></div><script src="https://static.inlinkz.com/cs2.js" type="text/javascript"></script><!-- end InLinkz script -->Jenna,Mark Dradyhttps://plus.google.com/109185368773297955316[email protected]10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355843327756900496.post-5893416991027285172017-02-28T16:20:00.001-05:002017-02-28T16:20:11.343-05:00Sofa Wars - Husky VS Cat <b>The struggle is real...</b><br /><br />If you live in a multiple pet house, you can probably relate to today's post.<br />I wanted to relive an older post today for you guys as part of our Flashback Friday and Pet Parade blog hops. This post was so much fun to put together, and capturing the images I will be sharing was twice as fun! You'll see why in a moment, and let me tell you... the struggle is real.<br /><br />As most of you know, I have 3 cats and 3 huskies. All of which enjoy snoozing on our sofa. And while they do share the space, and always end up snuggling together, I thought it would be fun to create sort of a funny scenario/ short story out of the photos I had.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XwXw7we5KTM/WLXTsD6eUYI/AAAAAAAAYeA/dSRRMk7JZxMnS9MTFH3i9g3A01T9PAbSgCEw/s1600/pawprintsline.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XwXw7we5KTM/WLXTsD6eUYI/AAAAAAAAYeA/dSRRMk7JZxMnS9MTFH3i9g3A01T9PAbSgCEw/s400/pawprintsline.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><b><i>It was a dark and cozy evening...</i></b><br /><br />Lexus had been sleeping comfortably, when suddenly she was rudely awakened.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lkse5C5fi-g/WLXP7mAkdvI/AAAAAAAAYdQ/mqQh66ha_IMIjaGp-UIXSA2V2n62kJhwACLcB/s1600/lexus-winter1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lkse5C5fi-g/WLXP7mAkdvI/AAAAAAAAYdQ/mqQh66ha_IMIjaGp-UIXSA2V2n62kJhwACLcB/s640/lexus-winter1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />She found herself surrounded by cat paws gripping onto her furry face. She quickly looked over at me with a mixture of disbelief and shock in her ice blue eyes.<br />She wasn't sire what to do next. Should she get off the sofa? Should she attempt to move the cat? Or should she give in to temptation and get cozy with Winter the cat by her side?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UNzOODh1Fh0/WLXQi9z9rhI/AAAAAAAAYdY/Xt5a4pucDF05BZctrbNO2xQ5AmJmUSOGgCLcB/s1600/lexus-winter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UNzOODh1Fh0/WLXQi9z9rhI/AAAAAAAAYdY/Xt5a4pucDF05BZctrbNO2xQ5AmJmUSOGgCLcB/s640/lexus-winter.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Giving me one last look of confusion, she decided that Winter looked much too adorable, and cozy to move him. So she gave in, and fell fast asleep.<br /><br /><b><i>The next night...</i></b><br /><br />Lexus was heading to her spot on the sofa, when she spotted something so outrageous, so shocking, that all she could do for a moment, was stand and stare.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hnX4InU0A4Y/WLXRLO2xj6I/AAAAAAAAYdg/5aasoAHAn98Zw3AabLNz-o-l6pBVlTplgCLcB/s1600/dogs-couch2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hnX4InU0A4Y/WLXRLO2xj6I/AAAAAAAAYdg/5aasoAHAn98Zw3AabLNz-o-l6pBVlTplgCLcB/s640/dogs-couch2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />She realized that because of her lenience with Winter on the sofa the night before, there were now TWO cats in HER spot, on HER blanket! She was stunned.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rnMDaQbP5jU/WLXRqls1nLI/AAAAAAAAYdo/xplnkYe8H4s1pBl3e6V0kjm3UuC3sFDDQCLcB/s1600/dogs-couch3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rnMDaQbP5jU/WLXRqls1nLI/AAAAAAAAYdo/xplnkYe8H4s1pBl3e6V0kjm3UuC3sFDDQCLcB/s640/dogs-couch3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />She looked at me once again with disbelief in her ice blue eyes and wondered why on earth I would be letting this happen. She had no choice but to do some quick thinking. So she called on some backup! She needed the assistance of her brother and sister.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PmEJBpvpfRs/WLXSZ1QEmvI/AAAAAAAAYdw/5ja_dx0bE68ve8Wh7p24CM7pLMg780N9gCLcB/s1600/dogs-couch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PmEJBpvpfRs/WLXSZ1QEmvI/AAAAAAAAYdw/5ja_dx0bE68ve8Wh7p24CM7pLMg780N9gCLcB/s640/dogs-couch.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Into the living room they came, running with tails held high. Gave a quick "arooooo" and the kittes scattered.

I was anxious to post it as soon as I saw it pop up. A couple years ago, I shared how my husky Koda seems to think he is an ostrich. Yea... so now you're wondering what the heck i';m talking about, right?<br /><br />Let me show you...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-308nb18TeXY/WIIvlojr-rI/AAAAAAAAYcE/30OCIW6Luvkm7VwHOIEch6Suv4LvA59cACLcB/s1600/kodaostrich1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-308nb18TeXY/WIIvlojr-rI/AAAAAAAAYcE/30OCIW6Luvkm7VwHOIEch6Suv4LvA59cACLcB/s400/kodaostrich1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cFsKzp_Rg4U/WIIvlm0TyuI/AAAAAAAAYcA/rA4JmZhKLOo80JGfcbwnuKxl-AK2jXsugCLcB/s1600/kodaostrich.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cFsKzp_Rg4U/WIIvlm0TyuI/AAAAAAAAYcA/rA4JmZhKLOo80JGfcbwnuKxl-AK2jXsugCLcB/s400/kodaostrich.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />Now you see what I mean?<br /><br />Koda has this habit of burying his head in between the couch cushions. And even though these photos are from a couple years ago (for Flashback Friday purposes) he still does this almost on a daily basis. While it appears he is impersonating an ostrich, what he is actually doing is scavenging for lost crumbs from the mini humans.<br /><br />I'm curious, does anyone else have an ostrich impersonating pet?<br />Let me know in the comments!<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-giX-_M4KLno/WIIxyAAlc8I/AAAAAAAAYcI/04aPHLU5DjsFZ_785Z0y5oy4Z7t7aa2hACLcB/s1600/Pet+Parade+Winter+Fun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-giX-_M4KLno/WIIxyAAlc8I/AAAAAAAAYcI/04aPHLU5DjsFZ_785Z0y5oy4Z7t7aa2hACLcB/s400/Pet+Parade+Winter+Fun.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We are co hosting the Pet Parade!<br />Along with co hosts: <a href="http://bionicbasil.blogspot.ca/">Bionic Basil</a> and <a href="http://mkclinton.com/">Barking From The Bayou</a><br />Your host: <a href="http://rascalandrocco.com/">Rascal And Rocco</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ny8PH6fyjdg/WIIx2POa7tI/AAAAAAAAYcM/IuW16NRygLMT4EFKMoy33xxsBFMo5nE-QCLcB/s1600/ff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ny8PH6fyjdg/WIIx2POa7tI/AAAAAAAAYcM/IuW16NRygLMT4EFKMoy33xxsBFMo5nE-QCLcB/s320/ff.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We are also co hosting Flashback Friday<br />Your host: The <a href="http://fivesibes.blogspot.ca/">Five Sibe's Mom</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Pet Parade Links:<br /><!-- start InLinkz script --> <br /><div class="InLinkzContainer" id="543752"><a href="http://www.inlinkz.com/new/view.php?id=543752" rel="nofollow" title="click to view in an external page.">An InLinkz Link-up</a></div><script src="https://static.inlinkz.com/cs2.js" type="text/javascript"></script><!-- end InLinkz script --><br /><br />Flashback Friday Link: <!-- start LinkyTools script --><script src="http://www.linkytools.com/thumbnail_linky_include.aspx?id=276130" type="text/javascript"></script><!-- end LinkyTools script -->Jenna,Mark Dradyhttps://plus.google.com/109185368773297955316[email protected]9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355843327756900496.post-14214800219280561322017-01-07T10:25:00.001-05:002017-01-07T10:25:32.085-05:0020 Useless Facts About DogsHiya everyone, and happy weekend!<br />Today we are co hosting 2 blog hops.

Well... I have. Bit of a back story for you - we have always laughed about my boy Koda's goofy looks. He is gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but he is a big goof ball. One look at his furry face and you can clearly see what i'm talking about. So, keeping this in mind, what I came home to just the other day was...well.... fitting! My kids had a snow day, therefor were home from school with "the man."<br /><br />"Come on, come on, don't keep us waiting anymore."<br />(That was me reading all of your minds. Talented right?) haha!<br /><br />Alright, so I walked in the door and saw this -<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ISVTaytWmM0/WEGUWZcfQiI/AAAAAAAAYWs/KO2rDDZ14CQ-kz2gUIsc5TQh6VZiUIO8gCLcB/s1600/kodaeyebrows1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ISVTaytWmM0/WEGUWZcfQiI/AAAAAAAAYWs/KO2rDDZ14CQ-kz2gUIsc5TQh6VZiUIO8gCLcB/s640/kodaeyebrows1.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><br />Mmhmm... they put green eyebrows on my husky.<br />While I did try to be mad about it (really I did) I couldn't help but laugh. The kids and the hu-man apparently entertained themselves with my boy while I was away. ;)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JCBo83mcJJQ/WEWFPgxgtAI/AAAAAAAAYXA/fbxWFJljQSAPuvA1p4ok0SZAeFt86vwkACLcB/s1600/kodaeyebrows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JCBo83mcJJQ/WEWFPgxgtAI/AAAAAAAAYXA/fbxWFJljQSAPuvA1p4ok0SZAeFt86vwkACLcB/s400/kodaeyebrows.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><br />Whats the matter Koda, you don't like your new eyebrows?<br /><br />Today's post was actually suppose to be for Friday... therefor (yes we are late) we are co hosting our 2 Friday blog hops - The Pet Parade and Flashback Friday.

It's that time again!<br />Time for this weeks Pet Parade and Flashback Friday blog hops.<br /><br />Since there has been so much negativity around the internet lately, (<i>---lately--- who am I kidding, isn't there always?</i>) I thought it would be fun to put together some of my old blooper photos and videos. When you run a blog, especially a pet blog, bloopers happen more often than not. You may not always have the chance to see them, but trust me... when photographing pets, it happens on a daily basis. From yawning huskies, to "<i>hey mum, can't we just skip the photos and eat those yummy treats</i>." And yes... i'm sure that is what they are thinking most of the time! So today, lets have a smile, and take a look at some epic pet photography/video fails.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pqAmf92HhZU/WC8cDtsH29I/AAAAAAAAYVo/HLL-a1kdtowC9AxMRtNdXPnD0Dt3EnnRQCEw/s1600/bloopers13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pqAmf92HhZU/WC8cDtsH29I/AAAAAAAAYVo/HLL-a1kdtowC9AxMRtNdXPnD0Dt3EnnRQCEw/s640/bloopers13.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />Lets start with some husky yawns. This one never fails... not 5 minutes into a photo shoot, I generally always end up with at least one of my husky's yawning. Really Lexus... you get to eat treats and play with toys from Bowzer Box after these photos, pay attention!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T-9i8oYOtKo/WC8cDei-idI/AAAAAAAAYVc/iYSZGisyMPItmVpnGsAT3RvRnD-4Sy-lwCEw/s1600/bloopers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T-9i8oYOtKo/WC8cDei-idI/AAAAAAAAYVc/iYSZGisyMPItmVpnGsAT3RvRnD-4Sy-lwCEw/s400/bloopers.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />This time it was Koda... he decided to let out a giant size husky yawn, while Mike felt like curling up for a nap, and Lexus... well lets just say she looks less than impressed.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZiAulDu1owA/WC8cDRY6CqI/AAAAAAAAYVg/NLMMj9pjOl0fufhBjbMNh3y0RGqh9T5dgCEw/s1600/bloopers10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZiAulDu1owA/WC8cDRY6CqI/AAAAAAAAYVg/NLMMj9pjOl0fufhBjbMNh3y0RGqh9T5dgCEw/s400/bloopers10.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Then there is the tongue. The sass from these huskies... UGH! Koda has this weird thing where he likes to stick his tongue out at me when I am trying to take his photo.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8M0SQeybobw/WC8cDh-s4kI/AAAAAAAAYVs/pjhWhBUnVtkjjO9E_cmYRoZ6_fqBocZJwCEw/s1600/bloopers14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8M0SQeybobw/WC8cDh-s4kI/AAAAAAAAYVs/pjhWhBUnVtkjjO9E_cmYRoZ6_fqBocZJwCEw/s400/bloopers14.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Once again... Koda, this is suppose to be a nice Christmas photo, put your tongue in your mouth. Can't give him full blame for this one though, Lexus is too disgusted to even look at the camera, and Mika just has no interest!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6s7-KdJViZs/WC8cDE8JeMI/AAAAAAAAYWA/uJI-ePIkKzQn8FjY2whwiZ0fOzCLVgq9gCEw/s1600/bloopers11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6s7-KdJViZs/WC8cDE8JeMI/AAAAAAAAYWA/uJI-ePIkKzQn8FjY2whwiZ0fOzCLVgq9gCEw/s400/bloopers11.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Koda, your head... you ran a tad too fast!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-elD433Fzb5U/WC8cDTnMa6I/AAAAAAAAYWA/XLLo57LLmRgq0zY4K_v7qOcNoQJIHL8PACEw/s1600/bloopers12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-elD433Fzb5U/WC8cDTnMa6I/AAAAAAAAYWA/XLLo57LLmRgq0zY4K_v7qOcNoQJIHL8PACEw/s400/bloopers12.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Well, I didn't try for a photo of your chin, but hey, whatever works..<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RoSNptWUcVQ/WC8cDlLuhmI/AAAAAAAAYWA/aYuYgaehf6QRWsbl5kWAipwAnvy8Gp5QgCEw/s1600/bloops.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RoSNptWUcVQ/WC8cDlLuhmI/AAAAAAAAYWA/aYuYgaehf6QRWsbl5kWAipwAnvy8Gp5QgCEw/s640/bloops.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />This one was taken for one of my silly sibe selfie posts last year. Ok, so it wasn't actually taken for that purpose. I was attempting a nice photo of the huskies down by the beach and ended up with some silly furry faces. Ah well, it made for a fun silly sibe selfie blog post!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QtauMa9lMxA/WC8cDgN1UdI/AAAAAAAAYWA/JlN-k2KncG4-EE0cuaNP7Z-WqoZ1pJE2wCEw/s1600/bloopers15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QtauMa9lMxA/WC8cDgN1UdI/AAAAAAAAYWA/JlN-k2KncG4-EE0cuaNP7Z-WqoZ1pJE2wCEw/s640/bloopers15.jpg" width="476" /></a></div><br />I'm just not even sure what to say about this one. Haven't noticed yet? Take a look at his left eye... I have NO clue whats going on there, but it sure turned out weird!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZICWbxVolLM/WC8cLaC1aZI/AAAAAAAAYWA/rwTiYcD6opEtIgvs_vBcE8uMf63_joRowCEw/s1600/bloopers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZICWbxVolLM/WC8cLaC1aZI/AAAAAAAAYWA/rwTiYcD6opEtIgvs_vBcE8uMf63_joRowCEw/s640/bloopers.png" width="610" /></a></div><br />Another attempt at a Bowzer Box photo shoot. While Lexus had patience for the most part, Koda on the other hand couldn't contain that tongue of his!<br /><br />Last but certainly not least - I was creating a post at how to teach your dog not to jump up on people when they come through your front door. Before I recorded this one, I swear it was working for me! Ha! But when I try and make a post out of it, Koda had other ideas. He would not cooperate for me in this video at all! With the help of the kids, we tried a couple different takes, still with no success. We were trying to show different tips, such as turning away from your dog when they jump, and walking forward into your dog etc etc... none of which worked at the time. But one thing I will say, the video was a ton of fun to make!<br /><br /><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bq96xSiZk3w" width="459"></iframe><center><br /><div style="text-align: left;">That's it for now, I hope you enjoyed some fun husky bloopers, and my goal was to make you smile while reading this.

I can't even count the amount of photos I have of my 3 Sibe's being their silly selves. Today I wanted to share a couple photos from last year which show the shenanigans of Lexus and Koda. The post was titled "<a href="https://www.ownedbyahusky.ca/2015/07/the-annoying-little-sis-fur.html">The Annoying Little Sis-Fur</a>." Click the title to go back and see the full post!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l55x6xbJxts/WCc06ijkn7I/AAAAAAAAYUw/DbxWcCFYWbYi_fokVddtashMouOGcCKZwCEw/s1600/silly-huskies.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l55x6xbJxts/WCc06ijkn7I/AAAAAAAAYUw/DbxWcCFYWbYi_fokVddtashMouOGcCKZwCEw/s640/silly-huskies.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />Lexus is the smallest of the bunch. And she lives up to the annoying little sis-fur name quite perfectly. When one of the others have a toy, a treat, or anything of interest to her, she wastes no time. She gets right in there, sticks her wet nose all up in their business, and insists she have what they have.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_4Jitis8jZA/WCc07i_kQ8I/AAAAAAAAYU0/Zx07a10iI043W57Ax_4W0zbrt8Zy4h4gwCEw/s1600/sillyhuskies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_4Jitis8jZA/WCc07i_kQ8I/AAAAAAAAYU0/Zx07a10iI043W57Ax_4W0zbrt8Zy4h4gwCEw/s400/sillyhuskies.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Now... you remember a minute ago I had mentioned the fact that she is the smallest of the bunch?<br />While she does try her hardest to have what the other huskies are having - needless to say, the end result doesn't always work out in her favor. As you can see in the photo above, Koda's solution was simply to lay down right on top of her. Thus preventing her from getting any of his yummy treats!<br /><br />Not to worry, she had her fair share as well. But when is enough ever enough? :P<br /><br />Do you have silly pets?<br />Share your favorite pet shenanigans story with us in the comments!<br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I can't go as far as saying it is my favorite season, but I love it just the same.<br />I love watching the colorful trees changing colors, the leaves all over the ground, and the little break from that summer heat. Most of all, I love walking the dogs in the Autumn season. It's not too hot for them, and not too cold for me, simply perfect walking weather for me and my huskies.<br /><br />Today for our Flashback Friday/ Pet Parade blog hops, I wanted to share a couple more Autumn themed graphics I created last year.

Whether you are for or against.... that is another story. I love Pits, they are gorgeous sweet natured dogs who unfortunately fall into the wrong hands far too much. <i>Why do these dogs keep falling into the wrong hands?</i> Because they are a very strong dog, full of muscle and loyalty. Combine muscle and loyalty with people who want those attributes for all the wrong reasons, and you have a very very bad combination - which in turn (imo) has been a big contributor towards these breed bans.<br /><br /><br />Recently there was a petition spreading worldwide to stop the city of Montreal, Canada from a Pitbull ban bylaw. While the bylaw lacked quite a lot of specifics, from what I read the bylaw was to be as follows:<br /><br />Montreal is <b>banning</b> the acquisition of "<i>Pitbull type dogs</i>."<br />Owners who currently own Pits in the city of Montreal will be allowed to keep their dogs, however there would be a lot of harsh restrictions - restrictions such as having to muzzle your dog while out in public, criminal background checks, special permits, having to walk your dog on a short leash at all times, and many more rules. And the city had warned, if the rules are broken, it could result in your dog being euthanized.<br /><br />HOWEVER... with the help of animal advocates, and worldwide petitions, this past Wednesday, Quebec Superior Court judge suspended the new law pending a court ruling on a legal challenge.<br /><br />Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre claims that he will not back down from the law, so that means... the fight will continue. I will keep you all updated on the bylaw as it continues to unfold.<br /><br />Help us fight the fight! If you see a petition going around social media to help the Pitbull's of Montreal - please take a moment to sign it.<br /><br />What are your views on this new bylaw?<br />Share with us in the comments!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nzvP0ZLLbQk/V_kEZvVRgtI/AAAAAAAAYQI/-tr935dX5XQMYkE4fB21QcwExn6q3fzjACLcB/s1600/pitpoem.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="486" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nzvP0ZLLbQk/V_kEZvVRgtI/AAAAAAAAYQI/-tr935dX5XQMYkE4fB21QcwExn6q3fzjACLcB/s640/pitpoem.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br />Today we are co hosting 2 blog hops - The Pet Parade as well as Flashback Friday.<br />For the parade, we are spreading our love of Pit's.. and for FF, I have shared one of my most favorite Pit poems.

Any chance he has to come snuggle up with me, he is right there.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rj_x8XXGyY4/V_KI6Wb8BgI/AAAAAAAAYPQ/IXm6_oBlzA0QeF5nZdLKXDqZi6WFLHXeQCLcB/s1600/happy-husky.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="335" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rj_x8XXGyY4/V_KI6Wb8BgI/AAAAAAAAYPQ/IXm6_oBlzA0QeF5nZdLKXDqZi6WFLHXeQCLcB/s400/happy-husky.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />I made this graphic a while back, but just look at that husky grin! She is one happy girl.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D_Zn4b7ThR4/V_KJCaD0HtI/AAAAAAAAYPU/l0AZhvftYqYkFUpdWaX77miG2mmumPViQCLcB/s1600/kodasmile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D_Zn4b7ThR4/V_KJCaD0HtI/AAAAAAAAYPU/l0AZhvftYqYkFUpdWaX77miG2mmumPViQCLcB/s640/kodasmile.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Last but certainly not least... Koda - this boy has the most goofiest smile I have ever seen in a husky, and I love it. I mean... look at that face!<br /><br />How about you?<br />Do your dogs smile? Is it as goofy as my boy?<br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NsD6dPE3Kxg/V_KJaIt_OlI/AAAAAAAAYPc/eZZ99S5E3AsFY8imSdVFbqV3GcmtVStVACLcB/s1600/pp-fall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NsD6dPE3Kxg/V_KJaIt_OlI/AAAAAAAAYPc/eZZ99S5E3AsFY8imSdVFbqV3GcmtVStVACLcB/s400/pp-fall.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We are co hosting the Pet Parade, along with fellow co hosts -<br /><a href="http://bionicbasil.blogspot.ca/">Bionic Basil</a>, <a href="http://mkclinton.com/">Barking From The Bayou</a>, and host <a href="http://rascalandrocco.com/">Rascal And Rocco</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RC29KtwAdDE/V_KJo3tMvCI/AAAAAAAAYPg/ktrdGwBMZ08c-yHIKC8zu_bX1OZrCbS_wCLcB/s1600/ff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RC29KtwAdDE/V_KJo3tMvCI/AAAAAAAAYPg/ktrdGwBMZ08c-yHIKC8zu_bX1OZrCbS_wCLcB/s400/ff.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We are also co hosting Flashback Friday<br />Along with our host - <a href="http://fivesibes.blogspot.com/">Five Sibe's Mom</a><br />***FF code coming soon!***</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Pet Parade Links: <!-- start InLinkz script --> <br /><div class="InLinkzContainer" id="573041"><a href="http://www.inlinkz.com/new/view.php?id=573041" rel="nofollow" title="click to view in an external page.">An InLinkz Link-up</a></div><script src="https://static.inlinkz.com/cs2.js" type="text/javascript"></script><!-- end InLinkz script -->Jenna,Mark Dradyhttps://plus.google.com/109185368773297955316[email protected]6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355843327756900496.post-13415767684946034602016-09-10T10:20:00.001-04:002016-09-10T10:20:55.659-04:00Flashback To Autumn BeautySummer is closing up shop!<br />I don't about you guys, but my summer seemed to fly by without even blinking twice. Sure, we still have some warm weather left, but OMG its September already!<br /><br />Since the Autumn season is approaching, I wanted to share some of last years fall photo shoots with the huskies for this weeks Flashback Friday, as well as the Pet Parade blog hops.

The Pet Parade and Flashback Friday.<br /><br />So this week, I wanted to highlight a couple of my favorite photos going back 2 summers ago from an event at Bedrock Kennels. It was a super fun fundraising event, and there were tons of activities to do with your dog. Aside from the doggie water park, I think the best part of the day was doing the scavenger hunt.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FXLNx15AWVI/V8Oib6hjw-I/AAAAAAAAYM4/NHotf_AYnWEW__9C8NYVz01sv79_ed_CgCLcB/s1600/mika-bedrock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FXLNx15AWVI/V8Oib6hjw-I/AAAAAAAAYM4/NHotf_AYnWEW__9C8NYVz01sv79_ed_CgCLcB/s400/mika-bedrock.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Along the way, there were different obstacles, and clues we had to find etc etc... it was tons of fun.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IVZ5TpIFTAk/V8OirFB6QxI/AAAAAAAAYM8/u0IyhVpXDnsbdq8jy6iPsJz71I0_dCnlQCLcB/s1600/paint.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IVZ5TpIFTAk/V8OirFB6QxI/AAAAAAAAYM8/u0IyhVpXDnsbdq8jy6iPsJz71I0_dCnlQCLcB/s400/paint.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />The huskies even got to do their own painting at one part of the hunt!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WiS9GJY9Xbs/V8OjD1qFlwI/AAAAAAAAYNE/IJPKUn9iFMcjamv3VN0qbHkRBKiyvd-BwCEw/s1600/lex-boa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WiS9GJY9Xbs/V8OjD1qFlwI/AAAAAAAAYNE/IJPKUn9iFMcjamv3VN0qbHkRBKiyvd-BwCEw/s400/lex-boa.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />At the end of the trail, to cross the finish line, your dogs had to pick a boa out of the bin and wear it as they walked across. SO Lexus and Mika were rockin their boas!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o2uBxGsWcdM/V8OjD2Z4VvI/AAAAAAAAYNA/i0KzowQTjpsQMiYULuuAkk8-JxaFUGCcgCEw/s1600/mika-boa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o2uBxGsWcdM/V8OjD2Z4VvI/AAAAAAAAYNA/i0KzowQTjpsQMiYULuuAkk8-JxaFUGCcgCEw/s400/mika-boa.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />SO all in all it was a great day! We had Mika, Lexus, my mom and my oldest daughter with us, and we had a blast!

The Pet Parade, and Flashback Friday. We have been having gorgeous summer weather the last couple weeks, and we have been able to get out on the water in the boat. So I thought it fitting to share some fun photos of Koda from last summer. He loves to come out fishing with us, and he gets spoiled too... considering he is the only one out of all my huskies that actually likes boat rides, so he gets to come on the trips with us.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><br /></b><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Koda's Fishing Trip:</b></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W4_jmKpy-ks/V5OQ0FK5LXI/AAAAAAAAYIs/ey21Z96mRvkyFsTf_JMu3SY0hdfG8yAwACEw/s1600/koda-fishing4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W4_jmKpy-ks/V5OQ0FK5LXI/AAAAAAAAYIs/ey21Z96mRvkyFsTf_JMu3SY0hdfG8yAwACEw/s640/koda-fishing4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Koda likes to start the boat trips out by inspecting the water.
