New Favorite Toy (Lots of pictures)

For some reason I'm always buying Riley new toys. She gets so excited when I come home with a plastic bag and she always seems to know when it's a grocery bag, or a petstore bag. She goes absolutely crazy for a new toy, even if it is a replacement of one that she already has.

That said, here is her new favorite toy:

Yep, she probably has one of every dog toy that I can find and she has decided that an old water bottle is 100 times better than any vinyl, plush, or tennis toy.

The downside is that it doesn't fly far enough for her, so she always over-runs it.

She's developed a hop style of run because it is easier on her hips.

More coming.

She did finally get tired of having to stop and come back for the bottle so she dropped one of her other favorite toys and waited for me to throw it:

A day of playing makes a happy Riley:

And a hot Riley stays in the shade (My camera's zoom is horrible):

And this picture just cracks me up:

It's been a long time since I posted pictures of Riley. I thought that I had lost my camera, but it turns out that my parents had borrowed it and left it in their trailer. It's so much nicer to use something other than my camera phone!

I can't forget Frankie. I haven't taken a whole lot of pictures of her yet, but here's a few.

(Please ignore the paint on the floor and other mess. This house is still in the process of being rebuilt room by room, and I haven't got to my room yet.)

So this is what I saw when I left for work in the morning:

This is what I saw when I came home later that day:

I'm not quite sure how she did it, but the crate was open.

Either way she seems quite content to sleep the heat away:

Still way too skinny, but at least she's eating now.

And now that's all! Hope you enjoyed.

She is so cute and you got some great shots!
It's about time we saw her, Craig. Have her and Frankie met yet, if so what do they think of eachother?

They have not met yet. I haven't actually told the parents that I have Frankie yet, so I haven't taken her over to meet Riley.

Frankie has been playing with Vito, one of the roommates dogs, and has been doing great. There were two other dogs in the house that she grew up, so she does really good with other dogs.

I'll make sure to have a camera for their meeting though. :)

What sensational pictures of your Dog, Riley!!!

Oh, the gardens in the background look beautiful too!!!

Riley has many facets, he can take a different pose and look like a different dog. I just have to say, those pictures are truely wonderful to look at, his smile at the end made me smile back!!!! Great photos!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Wow, Riley's a way to save some money :p Great shots!

OMGosh! This is too funny! Rita just discovered plastic water bottles, too! LOL! ;) :D :p

Seems like plastic bottles are a complete success on dogs... Anita loves them too! :D
Nice pics of comfy Frankie sleeping on the bed...

You got some great action shots! Yup, old bottles are always exciting over here, too. ;)

I sure did enjoy those pictures. :D I have always liked your Riley, she is such a pretty girl. And I couldn't help but smile at those pictures of Frankie all stretched out on the bed. She knows what she likes, and apparently she knows how to get it. :)
