Fence = Boring

The WOOF Factory mascots got a new 6 foot privacy fence. For the dogs this means no more views of little bunnies sitting on the opposite side of the chain link fence. Bunnies that can be seen and not touched cause dogs to bark excitedly. Usually at 2:00 in the morning. Humans don't like that.
Note we have green on the top (trees) and no green on the bottom (grass).
Humans also don't like the coyote-ish yodel/scream thing that Lena belts out when she sees a stranger next door and every time my 2 doors down neighbor starts his very loud Harley.
Humans like peace and privacy and now they have it. But the dogs are bored and sleepy. (Still no complaints from the humans.)
However we do have the crazy urge to install one of these "boredom solutions":
We saw the Pet Peek: The Window For Your Fence advertised recently in The Bark. It is both the most interesting and also hilarious dog product I have seen recently, and I am positive the dogs would drool over it. LOL! The price is awesome, only $29.98... I am OH SO TEMPTED!

The Dogs of 80/35 Music Festival

I hit up the 80/35 music festival in downtown Des Moines on Sunday. I was dogless, but saw a couple of memorable woofs with their humans.

All huskies make my heart melt. But a 7-week-old husky puppy sleeping soundly while surrounded by a crowd with the indie rock sounds of the Envy Corps in his tiny Siberian ears?! Oh my dog there's NO WORDS!
Awwwwwww!
And then their was this guy...
Basset boy hanging out on stage with Poison Control Center.
He was introduced by Poison Control Center as the dog who used to be the dog with the biggest balls in Ames, Iowa... that is until he moved.

Beer, juice or water? Mmmmmm...
