  Annapolis and Brooklyn& nbsp;  urlLink urlLink Today Annie and Brooklyn did not eat their lunch or their dinner. nbsp;  I guess they had too much excitement to be hungry. nbsp;
 I walked them a little late this morning ( 10: 30)  and they both peed and pooped. nbsp;  Around 11:
00 am I was due to have about 10 girls come over to work on the banners for our boat's homecoming. nbsp;  Well,  four people showed up at once,  and I guess this was too much for Annie because she pooped on my dining room floor. nbsp;
 Amanda pointed it out while she was still in action,  so I was able to drag her outside by the scruff of her neck ( Annie,  not Amanda) nbsp;  I didn't have time to get a leash,
 but she didn't need one. nbsp;  She was still mid- doody,  so she wandered out to the middle of the back yard and finished. nbsp;
 Then she got praised. nbsp;  But the problem isn't with her training. nbsp;  She knows not to doody in the house. nbsp;
 She just does it anyway. nbsp;  This was the third day in a row. nbsp;  I am really sick of this,  you know?
nbsp;  Well by the time all the girls were here,  the dogs were incredibly riled up. nbsp;  I tried locking them in my bedroom,  but they made such a ruckus!
nbsp;  So once we humans went outside to start painting,  I fed the canines and let them roam free in the house. nbsp;  I was a little reluctant because a)  I don't want them on my brand new furniture and 2)
 I didn't want to risk someone opening the door and having one of the pups run onto a freshly painted banner. nbsp;  It's a little bit difficult to remove acrylic paint from dog hair ( yes hair,  not fur -  they're cocker spaniels)
nbsp;  So where was I? nbsp;  Oh yeah,  I fed them. nbsp;
 But they just weren't interested. nbsp;  The food is still sitting out there in their bowls. nbsp;  They did drink a lot of water today,  though.
nbsp;  It was really hot out,  and when they get excited,  they get hot,  too. nbsp;
 It's okay if they skip a meal though. nbsp;  You see,  Annie is about 7 pounds overweight ( that's around 1/ 4 of what her weight should be)
 and Brooklyn is 2 pounds overweight. nbsp;  The food is actually diet food. nbsp;  I guess that's why they don't like it. nbsp;
 Hmm,  is there an Atkins plan for dogs?  Annie& nbsp;  urlLink urlLink Brookie& nbsp;
