Katie was oversleeping on the last day of school so she got a wake up puppy!
Katie’s wake up puppy
Category Archives: Olive
Yes, she has her head on my desk.
Trying to get some computer work done with Olive crying at my feet so I had to do this.
Lots of Olive today!
She SHOULD feel as guilty as she looks this morning…she barked from 2-3am (even after Tom took her out, where she did nothing). Stinker.
Trying to take a work pic and caught her mid-yawn!
Don’t all dogs chew their too-big bully sticks sitting on their personal staircase with their hind legs crossed?
Yes, more Olive.
A quick Olive nap.
Olive is an escape artist.
Today I came back from the movie and lunch…and she was on the couch (and I had to clean up accidents). We thought it was a random thing but no, when we came back from gymnastics, she was out again.
So tonight at bedtime Tom clamped the blanket over the top of her crate area. Katie happened to go down to get water and…she was out again. Gahhhhhhhh. So Tom put more clamps on for the night and we get to figure out a better/less ghetto solution going forward.
An Olive Tuesday
Katie’s home!
That’s how I feel right now, too, Olive…
Since you were barking since 5am and I am NOT a morning person.
We’ve rested a bunch today.
I’m training my lap dog!
Outside sun dog activated!
I keep trying to get up and do things…
but Olive keeps whining to get on my lap. I’ll allow it since these days don’t last forever.
She couldn’t stay still…
Time to wake up!
And I finally caught her in a big yawn!
And then Owen came home…
And look what she learned how to do today!! Nooooooooo!!!
Olive, Day 25
First time in a crate going to her first vet appointment…and chewing on the crate.
Trying to work with a sleepy puppy.
Well I thought I was taking fewer Olive photos.
Just a normal Sunday
Heading out to celebrate Evan and Aiden’s 8th grade graduation with dinner at Primo!
Sleepy puppy, big snacks & play date
I might not have looked at how big the bully sticks were on Amazon.
Visiting with Honey again. Olive LOVES her.
Olive, Day 21
She’s so regal-looking here.
She found that napkin on the deck and proudly carried it under the chair and sat on it. I went to take her picture and caught her right as she started to bark at me.
She met Anna’s mom!
And Honey!
Olive, Day 20
Her first dandelion fluff!
Olive, Day 19
Olive, Day 18
Olive, Day 17
This is a mini soccer ball and it’s still bigger than she is!
Olive, Day 16
I’m trying to take fewer photos… Honest.
Sorry – apparently “shorts” don’t embed.
Olive, Day 15
She loves to hide under the ottoman.
YAWWWWWWWN!
Had to post a “work” photo.
I can’t even with the cuteness. And yes, I run on lipstick and sarcasm.
Week 2 Olive video compilation
I thought I was keeping good track of what I’d already posted but…I think I’ve doubled up on some. Oh well.
Olive, Day 14
For the moment, life is perfect. I’m in my egg chair. The weather is 75° with low humidity and it’s shady. Olive has stopped biting my toes and is cuddly. Any bets on how long this will last?
Approximately 32 seconds.
Exploring the deck!
Playing with Honey’s ball!
Playing in the grass! Well, chewing on something in the grass.
Now she’ll suddenly appear behind you!
Mom, I know you get super frustrated with me when I constantly bite your feet (and no one else’s) so I’m gonna fall asleep on you so you still love me.
And another nap…
We taught her to use the stairs today. But she liked chewing on them too much so they got put away!
Olive, Day 13
VIDEO: She has started tugging on toys! And growling!
Mom, my new food bowl is a little big. But it does make me eat slower.
Someone wanted to the sliding door today to tell us she needed to go out!
She found a piece of wood in the grass and carried it around!
Trying to get work done with Olive in my lap. It didn’t go well.
Unfortunately she loves the ottoman feet.
Olive, Day 12
Good morning, Olive! We put a Blink camera on her so we could see when she got up and started moving…and crying. She got up shortly after this to potty and then went back to bed for a bit.
She loves her snuffle mat! We toss food bits in it and she finds them!
And hiding under the ottoman.
And of course napping. (And getting used to a harness.) She’ll actually walk in on her own when she’s tired!
And she loves laying in the sun.
And sleep in weird positions.
Olive, Day 11
When you leave the room for a minute and don’t hear the dog so you rush back in hoping she’s not doing anything bad… Not this time anyway.
Practicing wearing a collar!
nnaOlive, Day 10
Let’s see what she thinks of the front yard…
In this one she looks eerily like Maggie.
Mom I don’t like this. Save me.
I know I shouldn’t let her do this but at least it’s not my toes AND they’re Owen’s shoes.
Sleepy puppy…
And then the next nap…
Tonight she started chasing!
Olive, Day 9 — Happy Mother’s Day
She crawls into her bed when she’s tired.
I posted some pics and a little story (unseen in photo) about Olive in a Boston Terrier Facebook group and got quite a few likes!
