Guard Duty and 300th Post


Mack is in his spot on the couch.  Mario and I decided to join him. Something caught our eye! 




Mack, Mario and Minnie



You can tell who has a short attention span! and who spotted hu-mom taking our picture, too.

Mack says, back to TV watching, he loves Property Brothers. There is almost always a dog to bark at.

So after a time of guard duty and TV watching,  it wore out Mario and Mack and they needed a well deserved nap.



Mario and Mack

Note:  Hu-mom was getting a little bothered by Mack's insistent barking as something, someone, went by out the front windows which he taught Mario and Minnie to do. She tried a lot of different things but nothing really worked other than closing the blinds. So she found Bark Off at Bed, Bath and Beyond.  When a dog barks, it sends out an ultrasonic training aid sound, inaudible to human ears but dogs can hear it.  Great!!!!!!!!! she thought.  No wires, etc. Just put in the battery and turn it on.  Well.....it worked for Mario and me, but apparently Mack is deaf to the high frequency and it didn't deter him at all.  And he is the worst barker of all.  So if you are looking for a barking aid, check it out.  It was under $10! and it works for dogs that aren't hard of hearing.


We've been blogging for 2 years now next week and today is our 300th post.  WOW.  We love our Blogville friends!

Our Aunt Kim is coming to visit from Florida this weekend.  We've never met her but she loves dogs and has lots of  beagles of her own!

Have a wonderful weekend,
Love Minnie : )

These are precious photos. I started to chuckle about Mack watching Property Brothers (that is a good show) but then couldn't help but laugh out loud at the Bark Off story! Please give the puggies a kiss from me (and an extra for Mack!).
Love,
Christy

Congrats on #300!
I wonder if that pose would work for me and Dave? Hmm. Probably not.
1. We're a tad bit larger than you guys.
2. We're not allowed on the furniture.
3. We don't have a couch.
Looks might effective, though! I think our mom should get us a couch, don't you?
Play bows,
Zim
