We Don't Have a Code for That

   Welcome to Mischief Monday from the Bayou, I’m glad you stopped by today!  Snoopy’s Dog Blog, My Brown Newfies, and Alfie’s Blog host this mischievous blog hop.  I appreciate them providing an outlet to tell stories about the crazy antics of our dogs and cats.

   Last week, I mentioned that we’d probably be looking for a new dog this fall.  The very

How could this face be guilty of mischief?

idea has sent my mind into a battle of puppy love and puppy trouble.  Of course, one look at Bentley’s puppy photos makes me forget any trouble that he may have been.  That's the problem, I know at times he could be a handful.  I remember very vividly a time when he was probably no more than three-months old.  He may have accidentally caused a little bit of trouble.

   In Bentley’s defense, the mischief was dropped at his big puppy paws.  He was in the bedroom and I got down on the floor to snuggle and play with him.  We wrestled and got puppy kisses for several minutes. 

Handsome in B & W

Here is a riddle for you.  What’s black & white and read all over?  It’s Dachshund Nola and Sugar the Golden Retriever’s Black & White Sunday blog hop!  If you would like to join us, just click on either of our host’s name or the icon at the bottom of this post.  Of course, if you just came to visit the Bayou, that’s terrific, too!

For Sepia Saturday, I posted a photo of the boys titled, Happy in Sepia featuring Pierre’s happy face.  It seemed appropriate that for Black & White Sunday that I should feature Bentley in Handsome in Black & White.

Happy in Sepia

Welcome to Barking from the Bayou’s Sepia Saturday.  We always love joining our host Ruckus the Eskie for this awesome blog hop.  There’s not much to read, but lots of terrific sepia photography.  Participating in Sepia Saturday is very simple.  All you need is any sepia photo, grab the badge, and link back to Ruckus.

I strive to be as happy as Pierre is every day.

Curb Your Kids

   Does the title of this post seem harsh?  I don’t mean for it to be, I love kids, ummm,

children.  That’s the only reason I could spend fifteen years working with them.  What I don’t love or like even a little bit is children that tease my dogs.  You know the type that I’m talking about, don’t you?  They bark at your dogs, stick their hands through the fence, or try to pet them without asking permission.  It is obvious that some parenting skills are lacking.  All children should be taught how to behave around dogs.

   I have long held the belief that children learn how to treat animals and other humans by watching their parents.

Bentley and the Spring Chill

Guess what day it is?  It’s BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday!  Did you think that I was going to say “Hump Day” like that camel?  Today is a no words necessary blog hop and it’s your opportunity to see some awesome photos!  Be sure to hop to the other blogs participating.  Since you don’t have a lot to read, you can visit more of your favorite blogs and discover some new ones.

Puppy Mischief and Bucket Lists

   I’ve thought a good deal about mischief recently.  Mostly, I have been recalling puppy shenanigans.  I thought these stories deserved being told on Mischief Monday hosted by Snoopy’s Dog Blog, My Brown Newfies, and Alfie’sBlog.  These three pet bloggers know mischief and prove it each Monday with hilarious stories.  Be sure to hop over and see what their crazy canines are doing.

   As most of you know, we have our granddog, Pierre the Westie living with us.  He will be moving in with his mommy and daddy in August.  That means Bentley will be an only dog.  While he loves having our undivided attention, I know he needs a little friend.
