Good morning

This is what we wake up to in the mornings. Yup, a patient golden retriever. I should also add that he is laying ON Bob in this photo.

Plastic cat

He's not supposed to be on the counter, but his love of plastic and the lure of the plastic on the potato bag was too much to pass up.

The boys.

Apparently the men in this household like couches (pads us on the other couch).

Looking at their dad

Maddie stands on her tippy toes and Bailey leans on the bench, both to keep a close eye on their dad as he gets his bike out of the garage for a ride.

He thinks he's being sneaky...

And happy boys

Apparently, the living room is divided by gender (Maddie is at my feet).

Pretty and groomed

Our two corgi girls needed to be groomed. We went to the dog park on Sunday as sort of a last hurrah, and THIS happened:

Yes, it was bad. REALLY bad. This photo was taken before Roxy discovered she could dip her head in the mud. Maddie's love of mud is just as bad. I'm debating which corgi to nickname "hippo" and which one to nickname "piglet" (since I already call Roxy "my piglet" sometimes, I think Mads might get "hippo."). Bailey's not so bad since he's so tall. I can handle muddy legs.

Fast forward to today and both got groomed (Bailey was SAD but stayed home with a pig ear). Their feet were trimmed, their bellies shaved (you can't tell when they're walking around, but roll them over and there are NO MUD DREADLOCKS!), and a special shampoo to help get the dead-but-caught-in-their-coat fur out. Private bits also trimmed up and Roxy had some of her butt fluff trimmed -- her's gets kinda matty, where as Maddie's stays all pretty, so Maddie kept hers. Roxy's behind looks like a little bear butt right now. SO ADORABLE.

And, the groomer decided to post photos on their facebook. Here's the after shot!

I love our pretty girls! Bailey keeps smelling them. I think he thinks they might have been dipped in biscuits because there's the occasional lick. :)
