Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Sunday we waited and waited for Dad to mow the backyard so we could go out and hunt Easter eggs.  Dad got out the loud, stinky grass cutting machine and mowed down all my grass.  How dare he!  If he would just let me out there and leave me at it I could take care of it for him.  They don't like it when we eat grass because Bella can't hold her grass well at all.  Well, Mom went out to hide our eggs and came back in with a full basket.  She said too many bugs.  She thinks she got a tick on her hand while trying to hide them so gathered them all back up and said we would hunt our eggs inside.  Well I watched her fill them and I know they are filled with burger and roast beef so I really don't care where we hunt for the eggs I just want my beef! Bring on the Beef!  Where's the Beef?

We have been having Easter egg hunts for years.  Mom and Dad were so surprised the first year we did this and we knew exactly what to do.  We search for the eggs, gently squeeze them until they pop open and inside is our yummie surprise.  EASY !!!!   We are so gentle that we've been using the same eggs for several years.  We had 24 small eggs with roast beef inside and 6 large eggs with pieces of hamburger patties inside.  They were so good.  I don't know why we can't hunt Easter eggs every day.  Mom has said we can do it some other times through out the year but then she forgets. 

Mom only got the one picture because she thought she would try and capture every moment by using the video feature on the camera after this picture was taken so there are no still pictures of me hunting eggs.  She has tried to edit videos to put on here of our learning our new dance tricks and moves but it hasn't been successful.  When Dad as some time she will ask him take pictures of us learning our dance tricks.

I think my secret I've guarded for many, many years is out.  I am not just a laid back, easy going, lazy, old goat.  I'm a caninestein!  I can't believe she didn't know.  Just because I'm not all into agility and obedience classes and trick classes and stuff like my sister doesn't mean I can't do those same things too.  I just prefer the lazy and pampered life as Queen.  Really, I have them pretty well trained.  How do you think I got the nick name "Queen Emma"?  I have picked up on every trick.  It's so super easy.  We have done circle, down, come, sit, stay, peekaboo, high five, and shake.  I love food so it's easier to just do these little tricks so she'll hand over the yummies.  I can't believe she's been that naive and gullible. I wonder what's in her ever pondering mind for me now though?  She keeps talking about preparing for "Dog Games".  She said she doesn't want everyone laughing at the tennis balls bouncing off my head this year.  I can catch...when I want to.  If it's not beef why bother?

Sorry there aren't more pictures of our festive Easter Day.  Hope yours was filled with love and joy.

Happy Happy Bella Day !!!!!!!!!

We started celebrating Bella Day yesterday even though today is the official anniversary of my joining the family.  It's hard to believe 7 years has gone by already.  Wow, it sure did fly.

Yesterday we went to a park with lots of wooded trails, open field trails and a lake with doggie beach.  It was so nice to get out and spend the day outside.  We went for a very long walk, then we went out to eat.  Mom and Dad took turns going to a couple stores where they purchase these square things with lots of paper in them and then they spend time just sitting and staring at them and every so often moving the paper inside.  I have no idea why that's fun.  I like to go, go, go.  Walks, fetch, trick training, agility.  

Whew, that was a long walk

O.K. so maybe I do rest once in awhile.  But, it was after all a very long walk and a rather warm day.  We both missed our regular naps.  Usually we watch TV with Mom and Dad in the evening but we were so pooped.  

Today ~ the official Bella Day

We woke up and went right out for our normal potty and then ate breakfast.  I knew something was up as I watched Mom get dressed, fill all the water bottles and get our bag ready.  OH BOY!  we are going for a walk.  Oh, I can't wait.  If I bark and run around will it make them hurry up?  Lets go!

Wow, it sure is warm today

I love walks

Pretties for Mommy and me

Whew, that was a good one

get off me fly

nap time

After our walk we out to eat for a late lunch.  Mom and Dad had a tenderloin sandwich with fries, we got a plain, no cheese double hamburger, and we stopped by DQ to pickup  some ice cream because today it was 80 degrees.  It was only 64 degrees or something like that yesterday.  It feels really hot today.  We drove to another park and found a picnic shelter with a shaded top to eat our lunch at.  It was so nice and quite and we were the only ones around.  Emma and I laid on the nice cool damp concrete floor of the picnic shelter and enjoyed our hamburger.  Then Mom shared her tenderloin and fries with us and Emma and I split a vanilla DQ kids ice cream.  Mmmmmmmm!!!!!!  I think we had a pawsome Bella Day.
