House of Horrors

Miss Hailey Bug and Gemini Cricket were held captive on Halloween. Both were dressed up, not once but twice and forced to pose for others amusement. Miss Cricket would like to point out that even the dead are not left alone in this house of horrors, the remains of her best friend Loki were also dressed up and were posed in the picture as well.

Both dogs believe they escaped by “going along” with what the crazy lady wanted. The crazy lady said in her defence that perhaps if more than 5 trick or treaters came to her house she would have been preoccupied enough and not had to make her own fun! Besides she can only get away with dressing them up once a year, so she is going to make the best of it!

Miss Cricket says when it is her time to go, she is being sure to come back as a ghost and haunt these people!

Happy Halloween

Hailey: " Do they do this to us often?"

Gemini: "Often enough. Just look cute and it will be over soon."

 Gemini: "Hailey you are clearly not looking cute enough. Could you just stay still so we can get this over with?"
Hailey: "Aunt C, Daddie, someone who is watching, please save me!"

The Lady Gemi Bug (thinking "Please kill me now.")

Bee Lee  (thinking "I think I need to be rescued again.")

Pre-Halloween Fun!

In anticipation of Halloween this year, Miss Bug has been trying on costumes.

Here is her “Doggy Ghost” costume.

From the look on her face, I think this is a no!

Graduation Notice

Kristen and Drew, along with Gemi, Baggy and Nin, are thrilled to announce the graduation of Miss Hailey Bug from Basic Training. Miss Bug will be working hard to maintain her skills and will be considering graduate school in the New Year. For the rest of the fall she will be participating in agility classes.

At the graduation Miss Bug was awarded the coveted “Loudest Barker” award (not to be confused with the Most Barking award). She also was voted “Most Submissive” by her peers.

When asked to comment on her progress her trainer said “She has really come along. She has done a great job.”  Miss Bug did make exceptional progress in the short time she was at school (perhaps too much as the blog may becoming a little boring some days!)

As for progress at home, it has been suggested that Miss Bug is too spoiled and has free access to too many things. Others in the house are going to try and implement the recommended treatment to this “Nothing for free”, increase her exercise and teach new tricks weekly to keep her engaged.

Puppy School Graduate

We are please to announce our puppy graduated! Details and pictures will probably appear on Friday! (I have a lot of work to do!)

Destructo Dog Strikes Again

The new crate purchased less than a week ago was the scene of another crime. This afternoon, while trapped in the crate of steal, Miss Hailey Bug of Ottawa, destroyed the plastic liner. The humans of the house are impressed that it lasted 4 days (that is how many days she was crated since it was first purchased).

There was another victim to this crime, the sheet that was being used to keep her comfortable. Fortunately, the humans of the house have a plethora of old sheets from a Halloween past and will be able to renew her supply without breaking the bank.

Miss Gemini Cricket is in an uproar. She wants to know how long Miss Bug’s reign of terror will continue. Tomorrow, professional help (aka the dog trainer) will be coming for an assessment. We will keep you posted on this ever developing story.
