Pumpkin Carving Lab Style


Today we carved pumpkins! I'm not sure why.... 
But some of it was edible so why not?

I tried my best to help!

Like really tried! It all looked so tasty. I mean I can be on clean up crew!

But I guess I wasn't helpful enough. Cause we all got stuck behind the fence. 

At least we didn't end up like this!!!
(no dogs were harmed in the making of this blog!)


RO RO OUT!

Model Puppy at the Pumpkin Patch


We went to the pumpkin patch last weekend!

I was a little camera shy at first....

And tried to hide in the leaves

But then my buddy Garou showed me how to pose

So I tried it!

Then I had a wardrobe change

This is my regal pose!

Garou is so handsome

I tried really hard to be like him!
(did it work?)

Mmmmmm squished pumpkin!
(what can I say? I'm a lab!)

This modeling stuff is ruff.... Time for a nap!

Rembrandt's Retirement Resort

Rembrandt's Retirement Resort
Golden Rules!
1. Must be over 7 years old to reside in the resort
(puppies are sometimes allowed but for a maximum of 14 months)
2. Blonde hair is preferred but other colors may be allowed on a case by case basis
3. Must have a cool backstory
4. Humans are allowed if they bring the proper amount of cookies

Current Residents


Isaac Newton
"Newty Pants" 
10 years old
Isaac was able to enter the resort early at 18 months (pass granted by the Remmy)
He is a rescue from Homeward Bound and was a bit of a looney toon when he arrived.
He's only half looney now!
Likes: Food, going places, snuggling on the comfy sac
Dislikes: Loud noises, change, being left by himself


Ellie 
"Smelly Ellie"
10 years old
Ellie came to the resort from Taiwan. We aren't sure of her story but we are sure its cool.
Mind of her own is an understatement but under that tough exterior is a marshmallow!
Likes: attention on her own terms
Dislikes: having her photo taken

Wilson 
"Starving Street Dog"
Umm your guess is as good as mine? years old
Wilson also came to the resort from Taiwan also. They said he was 3 but we aren't so sure. He lived on the streets in Taiwan and does a really good "starving street dog" impression still (even though he's a bit chubby now)
Likes: food
Dislikes:  hot spots

Phantom 
"Phannieman"
7 years old
Phantom is a retired guide dog. We raised him as a puppy and he worked for some years 
in Texas before coming home to us. 
He's prepping to be the second agility superstar in the house. 
Likes: going to the barn (or anyplace for that matter) and people
Dislikes: Ummmmmmm

Azara
"Zuzu"
9 years old
Azara is a retired guide and the most recent resident of the resort. We raised her as a puppy and she worked in Florida and California before coming home to us. 
She's still as goofy as ever all these years later!
Likes: stuffed toys, soft beds 
Dislikes: ummmmmmm

Traveling Residents

Garou
"Rou"
9.5 years old
Garou is one of our traveling residents. He doesn't technically live here but sure spends a lot of time here! And that great cause we love him!
Likes: Balls and killing toys
Dislikes: Dogs and humans getting in his face



                                    Gone But Not Forgotten

Rembrandt
"Remmy, Yellow Dog, Stinkledo...."
Remmy was the first resident and namesake for the resort. 
He loved everyone and we miss him everyday...
Likes: Steak and people
Dislikes: Kale

Griff
"Spiffy Griffy"
Griff was a rescue from Homeward Bound. We rescued him not long after we lost Remmy. He was a breeder in a puppy mill and in pretty rough shape. I'd told Rem before he left that I was going to devote my life to taking care of old unwanted dogs and make them feel loved and wanted in their golden years. Griff was the first but definitely not the last of them.
Likes: soft toys from the Bark Box. 
Dislikes: his previous life and cancer


Pierre
"Peepers"
Pierre is another Taiwan dog. We don't know much of his backstory but he was the sweetest guy in the world! His last meal before we left was and In and Out burger and some french fries.
Likes: BALLS
Disklikes: cancer



So this is the current crew...
Isaac, 2 retirees and two Taiwanese

I've never been happier!

Archie goes on an Adventure

Hey! Archie here!

A little while ago the people took me to the beach.


It was soooooooooo fun!!!!!

                                                    And of course I posed for many photos!

                                        I mean when you are this cute...who can blame them?

This happened a lot that day too..... Mom was being way weird and she kept getting wet eyes!


Mom told me I was going to do great things and we took lots more photos.
 
 
 
Soon a lady came and I got to go for a looooooong car ride. 
It was fun! But I missed my Mom still. 
When we got to Oregon I got to meet lots of new people. I met my new trainer and all the kennel techs.
They say they are thinking about making me a breeder.... whatever that means. Just keep the treats coming ladies!
 

I hear these guys (and girl) don't miss me. I don't believe it. 

But I know Mom and John miss me!

-Archie

 Hopefully we will have an Archie update soon! And maybe some Archie babies!

(PS sorry about the radio silence. Didn't get to do a ton of fun things with the pups during Covid. When the next one comes I promise more updates)
