4 dog night...

This weekend we dog sat Ella and Lexi, and the four dogs had a great time. There were multiple stuffed animals that were held hostage by the dogs and some weren't so lucky. As you can see the duck has seen better days. Saturday night we left the house to go to the TAMU versus Texas women's basketball game, and within being at the game 10 minutes our neighbor called us to tell us the dogs had dug a hole under the fence, and Ranger was running around on the side of the house. Luckily, she was able to push Ranger back through the hole and patch it with a fire log. We decided that it was best to head back to the house to see what the damage was, and we found the hole was largest enough that 3 of the 4 dogs could have squeezed through it and were lucky that only Ranger escaped.
We are sure that the other 3 dogs sent him on a recon mission to see if the coast was clear, and he was caught. We tried to figure out who was the big culprit of digging and found some evidence on Ella's belly. Her belly was covered in mud. I'm not saying she's 100% at fault, but I think she was a large contributor. Judge for yourself... All three other dogs did have mud in between their toes, but Ella was by far the dirtiest from the incident. The dogs had a great time playing together, fighting over toys, and wrestling all over the couches. We were warned that Ella is obsessed with food, and we caught he in the act of steeling food off of the night stand:


Probably one of the funniest things of the weekend that we learned was Lexi's obsession with balls and Ella's lack of coordination and timing. Observe as Lexi tries to catch a second ball with a tennis ball lodged in her mouth, and Ella's missed timing when trying to catch the ball.


The dogs completed their stay with a final game of tug a war and the kong lost the battle.
