Not Morning Dogs! Sisters on Saturday

Happy Saturday everyone!

I woke the girls up early to go for our meet up with Mr. N the other day and they weren't very impressed with me. You see, these dogs are not "morning dogs". They don't like getting up early and Phoenix has even been known to go back to bed after we've told her we are going "bye bye". Once you get them up and going things are fine but waking up is hard. I don't blame them.

I'm sorry for the quality of this photo and the zombie eyes, I took it with my cell phone. I had to be quick because the girls don't often cuddle. Zoe can be a bit guardy and it scares Phoenix. I came back in from "putting my face on" and Zoe had gotten in bed with Phoenix.

Every time I asked them if they wanted to go the park, they would pick their heads up and drop them right back down. It was the most hilarious thing ever!

Is your dog a "morning dog"?

Small Business Saturday with Dog Coats from Made By De!

I love supporting small businesses whenever I can and since today is Small Business Saturday, I figured I'd share one of my favorites: Coats Mady By De!  De makes custom coats to fit any size dog and she is amazing to work with. I would highly recommend checking out her store! You can also check out her blog, Aussies In Charge. 

Zoe and Phoenix love their coats from De and they stay nice and warm!

You can see our review on these coats by going here: Winter Is Coming!

Do you have any favorite small businesses?

Snuggling Sisters on Saturday

It's cold, rainy and miserable outside! The best thing to do is snuggle and wait out the poor weather! If it was up to the girls they would not go out in the rain at all. LOL!

Is your dog okay going out in bad weather?

Silly Sisters on Saturday!

Zoe's face totally cracks me up! 

I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!

Sleepy Sisters on Saturday!

Since this past week was Phoenix's "Gotcha Week", I thought I'd share this adorable photo of them snuggling and sharing the same dog bed. This was taken in the first week of her homecoming. She also loves playing and snuggling with toys, so that's why there are so many toys in bed with them. I still can't believe it's been 3 years since I got Phoenix! Time flies when you're having fun!

Weird Human! Sisters on Saturday

Neither of the girls could figure out what their Dad was doing. Why he would voluntarily swim... SO weird! Zoe was even getting really worried about him. She would sit on the edge of the beach and whine the further he'd go. 

Phoenix decided that barking at him might help. So they played the barky bark game. She is such a funny dog. 

I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

Swimming Lessons

Phoenix is trying to teach Zoe how to swim! We actually got Zoe swimming a couple of times but unfortunately someone decided to fire off some rounds and after that the fun was over because Zoe got very upset. I hope that I will be able to get her back into the water and that she doesn't associate swimming with the noise she hates. :(

Race Ya! Sisters on Saturday

With these two everything is a race!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Silly Faces! Sisters on Saturday

So who do you think has the silliest face today? Zoe on the left or Phoenix on the right? Does your dog make silly faces, too? Zoe always seems to make some sort of weird face when I point a camera at her! It can take some time to actually get a cute photo where she's actually looking at me!

I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

Zoomies! Sisters on Saturday

I love it when the girls have zoomies! They are so funny!

I hope you all have an awesome weekend!

Bitey Face!! Sisters on Saturday

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having an awesome weekend! The girls had a really fun day yesterday! It was actually warm for a change! The girls are wearing their new cooling coats from Made By De and we will have a review and giveaway on these coming up soon. Be sure to keep an eye out for it! See you tomorrow on the black and white Sunday hop!

Photo Shooting the Girls! Sisters on Saturday

Whenever I do photo shoots we always warm up by doing some tricks first before I add product and a lot of the times I just do trick shoots. The girls have fun doing them and I need to practice some indoor photography. It's also good for them to practice posing together!

I'm really excited because I just got a 1/2 scholarship for the Fenzi Academy and I will be taking an online pet photography class through them! I love the Fenzi Academy and they offer a variety of different dog training classes so I would recommend checking them out! We've done several classes and I always enjoy them. 

Tomorrow we are going to a doggie meetup! I'm hoping that Phoenix behaves herself. I'm going to take her along and see how it goes. She's been doing super lately but I will let everyone know how it goes!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday! See you all tomorrow on the B&W Sunday hop!

Huckleberry Wilderness

Yesterday we went hiking with my friend. The girls had a great time and even got some off leash running in. The trails were pretty deserted and it was really fun. I think everybody liked it!

The dogs had a great time running around on all of the fallen trees.

Phoenix posed on the top of the cliffs at the lookout point. Beyond this cliff was a beautiful field full of flowers. There wasn't a safe point for me to photograph them, though. It was recommended online to stay off the bluff trail so we didn't try to go down it. The girls are like mountain goats, though and they were fine. I know it looks really dangerous but right behind Phoenix is a little hill not a huge drop off.

The trail is considered "moderate" and I figured out why after a couple of miles. At first it was pretty meandering and you're just wandering through old growth forest with some stream crossings and rock hopping then it just starts going up and up and up. I don't really like doing gain hikes but it was more fun on the way back down. LOL!

Zoe was stuck on the leash for a while. She can be naughty around prey animals and she's generally a free spirit wanting to make her own paths. We wanted to make sure she was really "with us" before letting her do her thing. It worked out well and on the way back we ended up letting her go. She did listen to us while also doing her own thing so it was fine.

Phoenix was off the leash for most of the hike. She loves running up and down the trail between us and she's totally fine being loose. She actually did pretty amazing! On the way back to the car we came across two large off leash dogs and she passed them by with no issues and she didn't even get snarky when the one dog was being pushy. I am very proud of her!

There were so many beautiful wild flowers!

The trail got a little crazy, sort of off the side of this mountain and then there was another trail that went straight up so we decided to turn back and call it day. We probably did 6-ish miles but I can't be for sure because I couldn't get my gps to work. After our hike we had a nice picnic lunch but I didn't take any photos of it.

So that was our little hiking trip. I hope you're all having a great weekend!

Patience! Sisters on Saturday

Zoe is not a patient dog. She never has been. When we are out walking, she does not want to stop and she gets really annoyed when we do. We noticed this the first week of having her. It's pretty funny because when we stop she will huff and sometimes start whining. We've worked on it a lot and she will stop but you can tell it annoys her. In the picture above I asked both dogs to wait for me and they did. Zoe wasn't that thrilled about it!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Throw the Stick! Sisters on Saturday

Have a great weekend everyone!

Zoe & Phee Visit the Tulip Farm! Sisters On Saturday

On Thursday, my husband and I packed up the girls and headed down to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn, Oregon. They charge $5 per person to enter the farm and you can walk around as long as you like. They also have quite a few other activities to do and it's a lot like a carnival. It's a really cool place to visit and it's 100% pet friendly. They actually encourage you to bring your dog. All of the workers are extremely friendly and we had an awesome time!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

These two crack me up! They were very happy to get out to the park yesterday. I love this photo because it looks like they are laughing.
