Lab is ball spelled backwards
January 2, 2012 Autzen, Emma, pets 5 Comments
To our favorite goldens in BZTraining land, I really didn’t mean to call you a lab, as in black, brown or yellow. Really. Lab is just ball spelled backwards… it’s secret code for “Happy Dog.” And besides, you have to cut me some slack. I’m one of those sight hound people.
Happy park dog with ball/lab
Not so happy lab/ball because the grandmothers do not have a tennis ball
Happy dance down the beach to chase lab/ball
Happy water dance for lab/ball
Happy jump for joy lab/ball, even if it isn't a tennis ball. Bad grandmas.
Christmas with the grand dogs

Emma
Emma could hardly believe the people that filed into her house on Christmas day. She was all nestled in her house coat and stretched out on the couch.
Autzen
Autzen on the other hand was ready to entertain the masses.

To grandmother’s house we go

Warning: This is not about a greyhound.
Autzen
This is our grand dog Autzen. She and weimie Emma had vet visits on Monday and came over for a visit.
Coming to grandma’s house is just like visiting a private dog park. Right out the back door there is a giant splash pool. The greyhounds would never treat their drinking water like this.
And then, there is the whole acre to chase balls on.
Sadly, grandma doesn’t have real tennis balls, she has these ridiculous soft squeaky balls because that is what Flocko likes to play ball with.
But, a ball is a ball and every lab loves a ball.
Unfortunately, so does the weimie. Some times the weimie gets to the ball first.
And then she guards it with her life.
You’ll never see a greyhound slobber like a lab. Ewwwww!
The other great thing about grandma’s house, treats grow on trees there. Please note that the mamma had to take the first bite to insure that the apples were safe.
Once the apples were deemed safe to eat, there was nothing better than lounging in the grass enjoying an apple. An apple a day keeps the veterinarian away.

And of course, like it or not, a family portrait is always a must.

Our youngest daughter Holly and her fiancé had Christmas dinner at their house. It was wonderful, we had a blast.
The ceremonial opening of the gifts. Holly is shooting her red garter off into space????
Megan demonstrating the obvious with her Route 66 shot glass.
Autzen wondering what happened to all of her usual presents.
Just your typical really good dogs. Emma loved her time with her cousin Autz.
Joey shocked me by demonstrating his carving skills.
Megan and Holly
Holly and Autzen. Don’t know how exactly how I captured this shot.
Megan and the attack of the doggies.
Joey’s mom Mary and his sister Amanda.
Many, many thanks Joey and Holly for a wonderful day. Loved the card, it was perfect. The Coke is right at home. But next time, please scratch off the lottery tickets until you get a big winner. We’ll take that one. 
)))))
Love ya much, the moms.
Even on not so good days

The second annual…

Celebration of the Winter Solstice in January
The weather was slightly less than cooperative on the longest day this year.
And it does seem to be a rather busy time of year, so we celebrated with the girls in January.
On foot, we traverse the streets in search of three restaurants, one for appetizers, one for the main course and what would a progressive lunch be without dessert.
Megan is the urban kid. She lives in a charming one bedroom victorian apartment downtown.
Holly lives in the burbs in a cute little house buried in a maze of suburban streets.
Of course, what is a celebration without gifts.
Holly only wanted a pink Dyson vacuum, who would think that one would actually appear in the month of October?
Autzen the grand labby was easy to please with toys.
Megan was all about cash
the grand iggies were more than happy to collect a cache of stuffies.
The unwrapping done, we gathered together
and hit the pavement.
Muu-Muu’s was our first stop for the appetizer.
It received a thumbs up from all of us. The seared tuna with wasabi sauce was to die for.
We walked an extra block or two in search of the main course. Holly, her Blackberry and Google saved the day when they pointed us in the right direction
to Mio Sushi.
Hark! Do I see a sushi roll and chop sticks in Megan’s hand?
Rave reviews for the best dessert in town lead us to Papa Haydn’s.
Thanks girls, it was a really greyt day!
