Today On Daily Dog!

Welcome to the first addition of Daily Dog! My Name is Brodie and I am the oldest out of the 4 of us Springers (as I'm sure you already know). The Mommins' and I have been planning on doing this for quite some time to fill everyone in on the fun antics we have!

This is me, Brodie!

We have well and truly settled into life here on the West Coast. The Mommins was very particular about finding the perfect place for us and said we were her number 1 priority. She didn't disappoint, we have a fun fenced yard to play in but I prefer to hang out in the house and there are lots of windows to look out of too. Montie and Izzie like to wrestle in the yard which suits me since I like to sleep inside with peace and quiet. Lexie likes to look for sticks in the yard, hoping that some sucker will get roped into throwing them all day for her, she usually succeeds especially when unsuspecting guests come over.

Here are some pictures of our yard






Most Days are pretty relaxing, we wake up very early around 4.45am when Mommins Rachel gets up for work. We go outside and then eat breakfast, chicken thighs are my favorite! Then we go wake up Mommins Samantha around 5.30am and we hang out while she gets ready for work, well actually Izzie and Montie usually go nuts and wrestle all morning! Then at 6.10am she opens the blinds of the big front window so we can look outside, puts the radio on and leaves for work. She had to start putting Izzie in a crate because she was destroying anything she could get her little mouth on and occasionally going to the bathroom on the speakers of the stereo too! It wasn't fair because the rest of us were getting into trouble too for no reason so I'm happy she is contained for the time being but I heard the Mommins' saying it was only for a month or so and then they would let her out on a trial basis so we will see how it goes!

Lexie, Montie and myself pretty much sleep on comfy dog beds and the couch while Izzie sleeps in the huge crate until Mommins Rachel comes home at 1pm then its off for a long walk and then running errands, taking a nap and generally hanging out with her until 5pm when it is dinner time. It is either more chicken or a few times a week we have veggies (ewwww) they taste OK but the Mommins' say we need then for a balanced diet whatever that means. I don't mind it too much and neither does Lexie or Izzie (I'm pretty sure Izzie will eat anything) but Montie gets in a really bad mood when it's veggies and point blank refuses to go near the bowl never mind eat it, it works out well for me though since I usually steal a few mouthfuls from his bowl before getting caught!

At 6.30pm Mommins Samantha comes home from work, this is one of my favorite times because she is always so happy to see us and we get cuddles and kisses all evening! Then we all happily relax with her before another walk or trip to the dog park to see some friends (and some idiots too). At the end of the day we all snuggle together watch TV and then when Mommins Rachel says "Bedtime Bonzo" we all go rushing into the bedroom to get the best positions on the bed or dog bed, I personally have my position claimed pretty much permanently at the foot of Mommins Samantha, Lexie is either on the dog bed sprawled out or curled up under the covers by Mommins Rachel, Montie likes the floor for some reason and has his favorite spot on Mommins Samantha's side with his head under the chest of drawers. Izzie floats around, she likes to steal my spot sometimes or be on the bed somewhere but occasionally she will curl up in the dog bed too. Then in the morning our day starts all over again, we like our week day routine but at the weekend things are more unpredictable which I'm fine with because usually there is some fun in store for us!

This is Brodie signing off!
