Belle's Great Escape

2010-01-03T08:10:00.000-08:00

This weekend we traveled home to our parents farm for the family Christmas. Jesse, Skye, Bo and Belle stayed at my parents farm in the heated shed while we went to the Stampe family Christmas party. Just as we were opening gifts I got a call from my dad. He had let the dogs out to run and potty but couldn't get Belle back into the shed. And that's where her adventure begins.....

Dad got Belle into the garage by the house and went to grab a leash to take her back to the heated garage with the others. With his back turned he heard a loud [CRASH]! Baby Belle had broken through the glass storm door to get back outside and was off running towards the town!

I drove down the gravel road 1/2 way to town to intercept her. (Had to run 1/4 mile through the corn field to catch up with her!) She was happy to see the warm Jimmy parked on the road and eagerly climbed into the back. It was around -10 without the wind chill! We drove back to the farm and to the warmth of the shed, I got kisses the whole way back.

Luckily Belle has a hard head. She didn't have a single scratch on her from breaking through the glass. She seemed to enjoy her run and adventure, but hopefully she doesn't do it again!!!

Playing with a Flash light!!!!

2008-03-08T12:13:00.000-08:00

So Skye LOVES to chase and try to catch shiny lights and ends up trying to bite a hole in the wall/carpet/sofa/etc. The source could be the lazer level, the sun catcher, or like today, a simple flashlight. Bo also tries to play along but he doesn't always know what he's suppose to be going after. Today Jesse and Belle decided to play along by helping carry the flashlight around while Skye and Bo tried to catch the light. The fun didn't last too long because Belle decided she had enough and started to chew and destroy the little plastic flashlight.

Baby Belle's Tongue

2008-03-01T09:48:00.001-08:00

Baby Belle fell asleep with her head hanging off the couch and soon her little pink tongue was also hanging out! Even after she woke up her tongue hung out to the side just long enough (barely) for me to get another quick picture!

It's all Roses

2008-02-01T13:46:00.000-08:00

So one of my roses was dying so I threw it away. Bo decided to get it out and EAT IT!!!!

Went for a run.

Finally warmed up to 31 degrees today!

Day at the Doctor's office

2008-01-11T09:04:00.000-08:00

All four of the kids went to the vet yesterday for their wellness check-ups and to get current on all their shots. They all behaved very well.

And now for the weigh-in results! (Drum roll please.)

At the top of list is..... Jesse weighing 88 pounds.
Only 6 lbs. behind her is.... Bo! Bo is 82 lbs. at a year and a half.
Taking a shocking third place is Baby Belle weighing in at 78.2 lbs!
Skye weighed the least at 69 lbs.

Jesse could stand to lose 3 to 5 lbs but the others are all at a healthy weight.

Hiking Day

2007-08-05T08:40:00.000-07:00

Took the dogs hiking today. They had fun running and got lots of exersice! Bo was pretty worn out. By the end he was running ahead and finding a shady spot to lay down till the rest of us caught up with him.

Skye's Boating Adventure

2007-07-29T13:51:00.000-07:00

It was a hot day Saturday so Jesse and the kids stayed home in the AC, but Skye wanted to go along to listen to the bands play on the edge of Lake Rathbun. She was a really good boating dog!

Keeping cool!

2007-07-21T17:21:00.001-07:00

Bo and Belle love to lay on the AC to keep cool. Belle is happy to pose for the camera, but Bo always thinks I have food in my hands and gets up too quickly for me to get a shot off!

Baby Belle doesn't care much for the bandanna.

Update on Belle

2007-07-01T14:40:00.000-07:00

Belle has been limping on her front right leg, although it doesn't slow her down much when playing! She had x-rays done earlier this week and nothing was found. She goes in Monday to be spayed and to have her upper shoulder x-rayed also. She weighs in at 65.4 pounds! Our little girl is getting very big! She is still the biggest sweetheart and always giving kisses to everyone! Hopefully we'll find out Monday about her sore leg!

Snake Lake Photo from 6.10.07

2007-06-15T18:34:00.000-07:00

Didn't get many pictures taken last weekend when we took the dogs all to Snake lake. Skye PULLED me around the whole thing! I turned around to talk to Ryan once and she took off the other direction and make me land right on my butt! Belle got in the water a little. Bo would run the other direction when Jesse got out and shook the water from her. He does not care to get wet!

Hide and Go Seek!

Update on Bo

2007-06-13T12:41:00.000-07:00

Bo went in on Monday to be fixed. He weighted in over 70 lbs!!!! He was pretty groggy when he came home on Monday and was still moving pretty slow yesterday. Today he is at about 70% of normal speed. He's playing with the others a little more each day. Still slow to go up and down stairs, but is eating better now.

Fun with Fisheye Lens

2007-06-09T10:50:00.000-07:00

Have to get REAL close to get a good shot. Got a little TOO close for this one! Belle reached out and got me!

Playing with a sock!

2007-06-08T19:07:00.000-07:00

Played Tug-o-war with one of Ryan's socks tonight.

Pretty soon all 3 were at it!
Bo and Belle wrestle for the sock.
Belle wins! And takes it under the bush to try and hide with it!
Who me? Steal a sock? Where'd ya get that idea? Oh, this sock? I just found it in the back yard, HONEST!
Bo and Belle look like little devil dogs with the flash going off in their eyes!

I like Socks!

2007-05-19T18:57:00.000-07:00

Running!

2007-03-11T15:09:00.000-07:00

Belle running to catch up with Skye. Bo doesn't like walking too much in the tall grass so he would stay right on my heels, very hard to get a good shot of him!

Swimming - sort of.

2007-03-11T14:59:00.000-07:00

Took all 4 for a run on the acerage. Jesse and Skye got in the creek but Bo and Belle stayed on land.

Christmas Sweater

2007-02-17T09:13:00.000-08:00

When getting ready for our walk, I though the pups better bundle up so they wouldn't get cold. Had a slight issue with the sweater Bo got at Christmas not fitting anymore! But it does make a great neck warmer still!

Happy Valentine's Day!

2007-02-13T16:59:00.000-08:00

Looked over the land.

2007-02-11T12:41:00.000-08:00

Took all four dogs to the 15.9 acres to run and check it out. All gave 4 "paws up" to go ahead with purchase!

Still Growing!!!

2007-02-09T19:26:00.000-08:00

Bo is almost as tall as Skye now!!!!

Big dog snow walk

2007-01-21T12:38:00.000-08:00

Got about 2 inches of snow today. Took the big two for a walk, still need to work on the puppies' leash skills before we take them out for a walk around town with the car traffic.

Sleepy Time

2007-01-18T16:37:00.000-08:00

They keep getting bigger! But they still cuddle together on the couch! Bo thinks Belle makes the best pillow!

Snow Play Time!

The pups had so much fun chasing Skye with a bone in the snow!

Building a fort.

2007-01-15T15:23:00.000-08:00

After playing in the snow the pups came inside and built a fort from the couch!

"POPCORN!!!"

2007-01-15T09:59:00.000-08:00

It snowed most of the night. I got a couple quick shots of the puppies in the snow. They don't seem to quite know what to think of this stuff!

Snow day!

2007-01-13T13:47:00.000-08:00

It snowed today! Then it sleeted. Keeping warm inside though. Both are shaking very well and now we're working on "lay down."
They are getting SO big already! Bo is not afraid of Skye. If he wants something she had (bones, socks) he'll go for it and each will hang on and PULL. This might be a good spot to mention Ryan will need new socks for Christmas next year!

Budda Belle

2007-01-08T17:37:00.000-08:00

Belle was sitting so silly with her big belly hanging out I had to snap a few shots! Only got two before she moved though! They are doing very well with the house training and haven't had an accident on the new carpeting for a while now! I gave them each an ice cube tonight which they happily munched on.

Fighting over Ryan's Glove

2007-01-06T14:23:00.000-08:00

With all the bones and all the toys we buy them, what would you think they would fight over? Nope! They love Ryan's gloves!

Tired ride home.

2007-01-06T13:39:00.000-08:00

They ran so hard for almost 45 minutes that Belle couldn't keep her eyes open on the 15 minute car ride home from the lake!

Our Trip to "Snake Lake"

2007-01-06T13:27:00.000-08:00

Such a beautiful day out today! We went to White Oak (AKA Snake Lake) Conservation land. We ran hard with the big dogs, but didn't get in the lake with them though!

They Grow Up So Fast!

2007-01-05T18:08:00.000-08:00

Had a vet visit today and another round of shots! The week after coming home with us Bo weighed in at 28 lbs and Baby Belle at 23 lbs. Today Bo "Moose" Stampe was up to 44 lbs and Belle is now at 32 lbs.

Smart Treats Work!

2007-01-04T14:03:00.000-08:00

Bo shook paws today! A very smart boy! He's mastering sit and shake, now if he'd learn his name and to come when called!
