🎉🐾 Apparently, Marley and Milo Got the Birthday Memo! 🎂💋

Someone must have told these two handsome boys it was my birthday because I walked in today and was immediately ATTACKED with birthday kisses! 😂❤️

Once they decided my face had been sufficiently washed, they moved on to playing with Jacob, enjoyed their lunch, and then came right back for ROUND TWO of the birthday smooch fest!

I’m not sure who told them it was my special day, but apparently their gift was unlimited kisses, questionable personal space, and enough slobber to skip washing my face tonight. 🤣🐾💕

🧁 BRANDY HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT TODAY’S SHORT WALK! 😂🐾

We kept our walk short today because apparently fall packed its bags and summer moved right back in. ☀️🥵

Well, that’s MY explanation.

Brandy, however, has a completely different theory. She seems to think our walk was cut short because I shoved TWO birthday cupcakes into my mouth before we even started. Cupcakes her sweet mama got me for my birthday, might I add!

I will neither confirm nor deny these allegations. 🤐🧁

All I’m saying is that it was hot, the cupcakes were delicious, and cardio immediately following a birthday celebration seems a little unreasonable.

Judging by those smiles, Brandy and Jacob weren’t exactly heartbroken about the shortened walk either! 😂🐾

And thank you to Brandy’s mama for the birthday treats! Clearly, they were appreciated. ❤️

🐾 IVY IS NOT SPEAKING TO ME TODAY! 🙄😂

I’ll let you guys decide if Ivy is upset with me today.

First, I FORGOT HER SNACK! 😱

Then, as if that wasn’t enough, I had the audacity to make this poor, mistreated princess walk for 20 WHOLE MINUTES in 80-degree weather!

Now she’s lying in the doorway giving me a look that says, “You’ve got about five seconds to gather your belongings and leave my house.” 😂

And just look at her sitting next to Jacob. Even he looks disappointed in my performance today!

Ivy, sweetheart, I promise I’ll bring your snack next time. But the walking part? Unfortunately, that’s still in the job description. 🤣🐾

🚨 PHOEBE HAS REQUESTED AN EMERGENCY FAMILY MEETING! 🚨

Our former foster Phoebe was just informed that her parents have agreed to foster our current foster, Bean, for the remainder of his two-week stay with Tarheel.

Judging by these photos, Phoebe was NOT consulted before this decision was made. 😂

Bean is already auditioning for the role of annoying little brother, and Phoebe would like to know who authorized this nonsense, whether there’s a return policy, and WHY THE HELL nobody asked her first. 🤣🐾

The family meeting has been scheduled. Bean is not invited.

The look on Perry’s face says EVERYTHING. 🤣🤣

“When you USED to be the most annoying puppy at vacation, but you show up this time and discover you’ve been DEMOTED to the chew toy of the new foster puppy, Bean.”

Perry came here expecting to be the CEO of Chaos, not the victim of an unpaid internship in Puppy Management. 💀🐾

Oh, how the turntables have turned, Perry. 😂

🚨 HOWA FETCH PROHIBITION HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN VIOLATED! 🚨

Ever since Minnie Pearl had surgery, we have been operating under a strict NO FETCH policy. Balls confiscated. Toys hidden. Fun police fully deployed. 🚫🎾

Or so we thought.

ENTER PHOEBE. 🙄

Apparently, this long-legged criminal mastermind has been conducting an unauthorized archaeological excavation of the HOWA property and has somehow UNEARTHED the forbidden spherical artifacts.

And just like that, the entire yard erupted into a full-blown case of BALLISTIC BALLHOLE BEHAVIOR. 🤦‍♀️

Dogs running. Ears flying. Doodles bouncing. Weimaraners losing their ever-loving minds. And me standing there wondering how in the world a dog who doesn’t even LIVE HERE managed to locate contraband that I thought I’d successfully hidden.

Phoebe has been here five minutes and already organized an underground fetch trafficking operation.

Minnie Pearl is probably somewhere filing a formal complaint because apparently EVERYBODY gets to have fun except the actual patient.

Welcome back to HOWA, Phoebe. You’ve officially been promoted to Director of Unauthorized Recreational Activities.

I’m going to need a metal detector, a search warrant, and possibly a shovel to find whatever else she’s uncovered. 😂🐾

🐾💕 MARLEY & MILO HAVE DISCOVERED GIRLS… AND APPARENTLY BOYS ARE OLD NEWS! 😂

Marley and Milo got an EXTRA special surprise today! They already knew Jacob. They already knew Bentley. Those were their boys!

But then… LONG-LEGGED, SEXY MISS PHOEBE came strutting through their front door, and suddenly Jacob and Bentley might as well have been invisible! 🤣💗

Apparently, the boys have decided I need to start bringing more ladies around for their sniffing and socializing pleasure!

The excitement was so ridiculous that everybody started wrestling and bombarding the door before I could even get it open! I had to switch from Pet Sitter Vicki to TRAINER VICKI just to restore enough law and order to get five dogs outside! 😂

Once we finally made it out, the chaos committee was officially in session! Sniffing, exploring, making new friends, and enjoying every second of their little backyard party!

Having a sibling is wonderful, but having friends come visit? EVEN BETTER! Especially when one of those friends has legs for days and wears hot pink! 💅🐾

And the BEST part? Marley and Milo got to enjoy an afternoon of excitement with their friends before sending the visiting circus home with me! Now those two boys can recharge their batteries before Mom gets home!

Marley and Milo would like to formally request that future playdates include more pretty girls. Jacob and Bentley are currently reviewing their friendship contracts. 🤣💕

🐾🎃 NEXT STOP: BRANDY’S HOUSE, WHERE THE SNACKS ARE PLENTIFUL BUT THE TOYS ARE NOT FOR TAKEOUT! 😂

We’ve arrived at Brandy’s house, where the snacks are always on point, the water is always flowing, and the neighborhood smells are apparently five-star quality!

We also located Fatty McFatterson’s missing birthday bandana, so he’s officially getting his birthday attire back! 🎉

Unfortunately, summer has returned AGAIN, so we stuck to the shade because every single one of us is absolutely miserable in this heat!

Now, Miss Phoebe learned a VERY important lesson today. BRANDY IS THE BOSS. Not just of her house. Not just of her toys. Apparently, she’s also the supervisor of MY dogs. 😂

Brandy and Fatty McFatterson are two peas in a pod when it comes to training. They follow the rules, take their jobs seriously, and have absolutely ZERO patience for dogs who don’t listen!

And then Phoebe committed the ultimate crime.

SHE TRIED TO STEAL BRANDY’S BRAND-NEW PUMPKIN! 🎃🚨

This girl actually attempted to sneak it right out the front door!

Brandy said ABSOLUTELY NOT, snatched that pumpkin right back, marched over to her toy box, and PUT IT AWAY HERSELF! 🤣🤣

I’m pretty sure her exact thoughts were:

“Excuse me, ma’am. I provided snacks. I provided water. I provided entertainment AND a wonderful walk. But this is NOT a souvenir shop! What’s mine is MINE, and it STAYS IN MY HOUSE!”

Phoebe has officially been informed of the house rules, Brandy has maintained complete control of her property, and I’m just over here trying to survive the heat while managing this four-dog field trip.

Five-star hospitality. Zero tolerance for pumpkin theft. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🐾

🐾 CHINO HAS OFFICIALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO WORK THE SYSTEM! 😂

Well, there was absolutely NO QUESTION about Chino’s potty habits today! Apparently, all this boy needed was THREE emotional support bathroom buddies to hold his paws while he handled his business. 🤣

We walked outside, he spotted the new kids, and within TWO SECONDS, he was taking care of business so he could get to sniffing everybody!

I THINK I’VE FINALLY CRACKED THE CODE! 😂

But can we talk about what an absolutely AMAZING patient this dog is?!

Chino is on CCL rest, and I swear he deserves an award. Two new dogs show up, and does he get excited? NOPE. Does he try to run, jump, or play? NOPE. He just calmly hangs out while everybody sniffs around him.

AND THE MEDICATIONS?! 😳

Meanwhile, at my house, I’m emptying half the refrigerator, using every grocery item known to mankind, negotiating with terrorists, and eventually having to manually deliver pills down somebody’s throat.

Chino? “Oh, a pill? For me? Thank you!” SWALLOW. DONE.

SIR. WHY CAN’T MY DOGS BE LIKE YOU?! 🤦‍♀️

I still give him peanut butter because I feel guilty handing such a perfect gentleman a plain pill. He deserves a little luxury for being the world’s most cooperative patient!

And speaking of gentlemen…

Miss Phoebe has apparently decided that Chino’s Southern hospitality extends to SNACK TIME! 😂

She marched herself right to the front of the line because clearly, if ladies go through doors first, then ladies should receive their snacks first, too!

Chino, being the perfect Southern gentleman, just sat there politely while Miss Phoebe attempted to establish herself as the official snack distribution supervisor.

I swear, this boy is making every other dog in my life look like an absolute hooligan.

Chino gets FIVE STARS for patient behavior. Phoebe gets FIVE STARS for knowing how to take advantage of a gentleman! 🤣🐾💕

👑🐾 THE ROYALS HAVE OPENED THEIR KINGDOM TO OUT-OF-TOWN GUESTS! 🏰😂

Apparently, the Royals sent invitations far and wide for today’s royal procession because we had Bentley traveling all the way from Charlotte, Phoebe arriving from Huntersville, and Jacob making the long, treacherous journey from the dirt road. 😂

I have absolutely no idea how these three commoners managed to score invitations to such a prestigious event, but George and Izzy graciously welcomed their guests, and everybody was having a wonderful time!

Well, ALMOST everybody made it out of the castle without committing a felony. 🤦‍♀️

Miss Phoebe apparently misunderstood the invitation and thought it included complimentary royal souvenirs. This girl attempted to leave the castle with THREE of the Royals’ tennis balls stuffed into her mouth. AT ONCE. 🎾🎾🎾

I happened to notice that her face looked suspiciously swollen and conducted an immediate royal inspection.

THREE STOLEN TENNIS BALLS.

Ma’am. This is a royal walk, not a smash-and-grab operation! 😂

Phoebe was approximately three seconds away from being thrown into the dungeon, sentenced by the royal court, and permanently banned from all future palace festivities.

Luckily, the stolen property was recovered before we crossed the castle threshold, and Her Majesty’s sentence was reduced to supervised walking privileges.

The rest of the royal procession went beautifully, although I’m fairly certain Phoebe is already plotting her next heist.

The Royals really need better security when inviting peasants into the kingdom. 👑🐾😂
