New stuff

Mom got us snazzy new collars this week!  Mine isn't as big as the last one I had and this time it's black so it matches my raincoat.  Buds has got a red one now and that matches his raincoat and harness.  I think Mom likes us to be a bit coordinated! :)

I think the only thing that is wrong with these collars is that they are too clean!  :)  We're going to have to really mucky them up as soon as we can.  BOL.

Brrrrrr!

We've had some cold paws on our walks this week!  Reallllllly cold and frosty.  I don't mind it so much as my coat is pretty thick, but Buds... boy that boy will NOT stop whining!  The only time he's been quiet lately is when there is a ball in his mouth.  Or he's been given a snack.

Mom said she's thinking about getting us some booties.  But she's not sure whether we'll wear them.  Hmmmm, I don't know... I guess we'd have to try them on first?!  I don't even really like wearing the coat she got me but Mom says at least it keeps my tummy clean (well, sort of).  Anyway it's still the first week of December so it could get even colder.   Maybe we'll need the booties?

On the hunt!

We are on the hunt for squirrels!  We LOVE to chase squirrels.  

Bella likes to stalk them, staying really quiet and sneaking up on them.  But me?  I love to just go charging in, full speed ahead and be damned anything else that gets in the way, even trees! BOL :)

Neither of us have ever caught one though, damn they are fast!  There have been a couple of close calls though, teehee.  Mom says she doesn't think either of us would know what to do if we DID catch one.  You know, she might be right... I'm gonna go ask Bella if she knows?!

Byeeee

Buds

Friends

Ahhh!  A beautiful day for a walk with friends!  

This is Pip (with us above).  She's a schnauzer cross and lives with Mom's friend Penny.  She walks with us nearly every day and she's great fun.  She doesn't like water too much, like Buds, and often when she gets near it she has a bit of a "mad half hour" chasing everyone around and barking up a storm!  It's quite funny to watch.  

She also has a never-full stomach and can often be found with her nose in something she shouldn't.  She quite enjoys Indian food, doggy snacks, fascinators, inside Penny's handbag, everyone else's snacks, things she finds on the floor during our walks and so on.  In fact I don't think there is a thing Pip doesn't like to eat.  She's quite like Blue-y that way.  Pip does like to take it easy on our walks too, she's always bringing up the rear, unless there is a snack in someone's hand and then she can get the wriggle on.  I love to wrestle with Pip but Buds always tries to break it up.  Boooo!

Pip has stayed with us a few times and you always have to keep an eye on the contents of your bowl.  She also loves the sofa and Mom says that Pip even has her own sofa at home!  Lucky thing.

Too much washing..

Oh nooooooo!  I've shrunk.  I now fit nicely between Bella's ears!! Eeeeek ;P

Mom told me if I kept cleaning myself like I do (hey, now what's wrong with keeping yourself presentable?) that I would lick myself away to nothing.  Ah well, at least Mom can carry me around in her pocket now, yay :)

Buds

You've played Where's Wally...?

Now it's time for Where's Bella?  Can you spot her in this photo (kept deliberately small to make it a bit more difficult?! teehee)

(Hint:  perhaps you could make the pic bigger?)

Thievery!

Please let me have my ball back Bella... pleeeeeeeeease?!?!

Hahaha .... not a chance, Buddy-boy! ;P

Uh-oh!

This is me with my favourite ball in the whole world!  I was playing with it a few days ago and as you can see was waiting patiently for Mom to pick it up and throw it.  How cute do I look? :P

Anyway, it's a good job Mom took this photo because about 3 minutes after this it ended up at the bottom of the lake. Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  

My heart is broken!

Oh woe is me!

Ole orange-y ball is ne'er to be seen again!

I don't think I'll ever get over thi.... wait is that a tennis ball???????  YAAAAAAYYYYYYY, throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ballllllllllllllllll! Nom!

Mom said I should tell you that she tried to get the ball out but all my crying was quite off putting.  She nearly fell in the lake trying to finagle it out of the muddy lakebed.  Bella didn't help as she kept grabbing the stick Mom was using and Blue-y kept roo-roo-rooing for biscuits.  Thank Dog for Uncle Colin and his bag of treats (nommy sausages and Markies) and a "new" ball.  Yay I LOVE Colin.

It wasn't long though before I nearly lost the "new" ball too.  We were walking over the bridge at the park and the ball slipped out of my mouth and bounced through the holes in the fence and into the lake!  Boy it sure wasn't my day.

See?  Mom even took a photo of it floating!  Luckily my super swimmer friend Millie (that's her below in the middle) went in and got it for me!  She's pawesome.  She was even so nice as to let me have the ball back as soon as she got out of the water!  Her Dad Paul thinks she a wuss (whatever that is?) but I love her for it.  :)

Bella on the other hand is a pain.  When she gets the ball she will NOT give it back.  I have to bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark some more (see me in action above) and she still won't let it go.  She loves to wind me up with it.  The only way I get it back is if Mom gives her a biscuit and then she'll drop it.  Me?  I'd rather have the ball!

Buds :P

PS Of course I love to wind up Buds, he gives me nothing but grief some days so this is his payback! heheheh!

Tag Team!

This is me playing tug of war with Pip (the grey schnauzer cross) when Blue (the Lab) decides it's time for some tag team wrestling type thing! It's only short so take a look see :)  I think we may need to re-jig the weight classes though, doesn't seem to be quite right ;)  Mom filmed this in August 2011 which is why again there is no Buddy in the movie.  (I think she's trying to get the older videos uploaded first so you can see how we've all grown and what have you!).

Blue Swims in the Lake

Check out our new YouTube video!  This features my friend Blue swimming in the lake at Stanley Park.  Mom filmed it last July (2011) which is why you don't see Buddy.  Blue-y loves to swim, he'd stay in the water all day if he could! :P

Bella & Cara in the Rose Garden

We have another YouTube video up!  Take a look see below or click through to YT to leave us a comment.

This video was shot in April 2011 (which is why you don't see Buddy!) and as you can see I'm looking really fluffy!  :)  This is my friend Cara.  I think she's a lurcher crossed with something else but I'm not too sure.  She's a rescue too so I don't think her mom really knows her lineage?!  We had only recently met and so we didn't know quite how far we could push the wrestling and rough 'n' tumble!  You'll see it goes a smidge too far at one point :P ooops.  We're still friends though tee hee!

Let us know what you think of our videos by leaving us a comment.  You can also follow us on Twitter and Instagram - @BellanBuddy and we also have a Facebook page.

Walkies!

We are ready for walkies! Are you?

And finally today it looks like it will be sunny. YAY! What has been up with the weather?  Isn't it supposed to be summer?  We think Mom is seriously considering moving abroad! Way, that would be great :) what do you think of summer?  Or do you prefer another season? Leave us a comment.

We're Rolling...

There is NOTHING like a roll in the grass! Ahhhh bliss :)

Oooh that really hit the spot!  This is our friend Pip, she loves the grass too.  In fact Pip loves lying down in general, teehee!

Bella xoxo

Side-eye

Blue-y keeps giving my ball the side-eye! He ain't gonna get it tho'!  Every time I have a ball or a stick he wants it ... Mom says that I do that too AND I bark up a storm until I get it! Harrumph I don't think I'm that bad :(

You'll probably notice there isn't much left of this ball though ... yes I'm guilty, they don't last very long, but honestly Blue is the WORST for destroying toys.  And stealing biscuits... ok ok Mom I can steal them too ... sheesh can I get a break? :P

Buds

Chillin'

We bumped into our friend Millie today before our walk so we decided to sit back and catch up on all the 'dogssip'

Millie had already been for her walkies so we had a quick swim in the pond and then set off! :P
