For the boys, one of the best parts of the new house is the pool. They love to chase each other around the pool and Henry can’t wait until the water is warm enough to go swimming. Benny, on the other hand, is not much of a swimmer. So when we saw this little boat at the pool store yesterday, we knew we had to get it for Benny so that he could be in the pool with everyone else but not have to get wet. But, as soon as we brought it home, Henry had other plans and he decided that he needed to take the boat out on its maiden voyage.

This weekend we took a trip to Dog Wood park in Jacksonville. It is a bit far from the house, but this 25 acre fenced dog park complete with lakes, trails, tunnels and agility equipment is definitely worth the drive!
Here are some pictures from our time at the park.

Wow, it has been quite some time since I have updated the blog! Things have been very hectic here because we just moved from Maryland to Florida. While it was crazy getting everything packed and then making the drive with Benjamin, Henry, Cupid the cat and Lou C. the family rabbit everything went very smoothly! I am very proud of all of them for handling the transition so well.
While we have only been here for just over a week, the boys have done great adjusting to their new surroundings. So far, their favorite part of the house is the lanai and pool deck area. They love to lay out sunning themselves.
We even had a chance to go to the dog park this weekend for some much needed fun! I should have some pictures up soon!

With the boys being on such a strict diet, it is very hard to find treats and biscuits that they can eat. I usually give them a piece of turkey lunch meat or a carrot for a treat, but these treats don’t travel very well.
That’s why I was so excited when I came across Health Pro Luv’a Bones at PETsMART this weekend. These are biscuit shaped holistic health treats specifically made for dogs. They have a couple flavors available but I got the boys Roasted Turkey with Sweet Potato. The treats are made with real turkey, sweet potato, cranberry and squash. They smell delicious and needless to say the boys love them!

It seems there is someone on the loose in the neighborhood leaving chewed pieces of blue gum strewn about the neighborhood. For Henry, this is the greatest find on his walks since he came across a trail of cheerios last fall. It has been a bit frustrating for me because I have pulled at least 7 pieces of gum out of his mouth since Monday.
Both of the boys have done a great job learning the “drop it” command, but when it comes to gum Henry just refuses to drop it.
Hopefully, the blue gum bandit’s bubble will burst soon so our walks can get back to normal.

Benjamin took it upon himself today to do a little spring cleaning on his toy box. He started on the top shelf pulling down most of the larger plush toys, but then decided that he needed a more paws-on approach and jumped into the upper basket. He diligently worked for a few more minutes sending toys flying out of the basket before he realized that this was a much bigger job than he originally thought and that his time would be much better spent napping!

To help beat some of the winter blues we have been having lately we decided to go to the Lake to walk the trails and get some fresh air. As you can see Henry was very excited to be getting out for some much needed exercise.
Much of the lake was frozen, but I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the trails. I thought they were going to be extremely muddy, but all things considered they were in great shape.
The boys had a great time trotting down the trail and chasing each other through the leaves and up and down the hills off of the main trail.
They ran so much that on the way back even Benny, who is usually so hard to tire out, decided to take a break and relax on the bench.
It was a great day and for the boys most great days end with them getting muddy and dirty. So next up for today is baths and brushing!
