Obiee...is an...experience

So it's been a while since we got back from Italy, and we've been remiss to report on what the boys were doing while we were galavanting through Roma, Firenze, Cinque Terre and Venezia.

1. Torturing Gramma Nakamura. It seems the boys were a bit of a handful for Gramma Naks, particularly when she inadvertently got locked out of the house on her last day with the boys. In about an hour's time they chewed her slippers, a pillow sham and perhaps countless other things.
2. Getting into stuff. Thankfully we got the pocket door fixed before we left, so their getting into stuff was contained to the front room. This did not stop them from eating a bag of senbei (rice crackers) or tearing open a packet of silica gel dessicant in a package of nori (seaweed) on the kitchen table.
3. Meeting the neighbors. Apparently Mochi decided he wanted to play with Doogan across the street, so he just shot out of the garage before his gramma could catch him.
4. Playing shadow. Obiee loves to follow people around in general, and his grammas found this to be the case even moreso while mommy and daddy were gone.
5. Growing (at least Obiee). We upped Obiee's food right before leaving because he always seemed hungry. We came home to a bigger dog - both taller and otherwise... (Obiee went on a bit of a diet upon our return. We attribute his weight gain partially due to the lack of regular exercise, since it's quite a challenge for one person to take both boys out.)
6. Going to doggy daycare. After a restless start with watching the boys, Gramma Higgins decided to try taking them to her house during the day, where they hung out with Buddy, and Buster. This worked out so well that Gramma still occasionally takes them over to her house during the day. Spoiled dogs. :)

So upon our return, we hesitantly asked my mom how the boys were while we were gone. Her response? "Obiee....is an...experience."

Amen.

Hardheaded

Finally a new post!

Talk about hard-headed...in greeting mommy upon her return home tonight, Obiee broke mommy's thumbnail by running his head into it! Crazy dog...

Stay tuned for more posts soon. We promise.

Obiee says, "Who, me? Hardheaded?"
