One Wears a Cone ~ The Other is… A little Different

in Hive Pets10 months ago

Anyone up for a little doggy update? If not… too bad you are getting one anyway. For those that don’t know, the Splatts Fam adopted a couple puppies from a local shelter. These two boys are littermates and look nothing alike. Elmer is a short and stalky little powerhouse and Tony… well Tony’s legs are so long he often doesn’t know what to do with them. Elmer can walk underneath Tony, just to put things in some sort of perspective. One thing they do have in common is they really like to invade your personal space…

These frikken psychos are a little over 10 months old. They wrestle and chase each other around constantly! When Elmer doesn’t want to wrestle Tony will throw a fit. Laying on his back rolling around, folding himself in half, growling, and making some weird high pitch noises. What a spaz!!

Little Elmer wants to chill but Tony… he wants to wrestle!

Ol’ Tweekin’ Tony does have some pretty sweet Ninja moves. Check out that rear leg launch and slide into a under the couch cushion sniff…

Impressive…

Little Elmer guy may be small and at a disadvantage against Tony’s long, out of control legs but he manages to hold his own. Most of the time he is the one instigating the wrestling matches anyway.

After going a few ferocious rounds of biting eachother’s legs, face, and pulling on neck skin it’s nap time. They often nestle between my legs when I’m lounging on the couch. I almost feel guilty when I need to get up… they look so comfortable.

About a month ago we noticed Elmer’s eye had something wrong. We aren’t quite sure how it happened but we assume it was from them wrestling and fighting with each other. Little Elmer got Cherry Eye. After a visit to the Vet and trying some eye drops and ointment, we realized it wasn’t getting better. So in for surgery the little guy went. It’s been close to a week since his surgery and it’s been quite a battle to keep him from rubbing it even with the cone on.

It’s still a little red and slightly swollen but it looks way better than it did

The Vet said he needs to just chill out and relax… ya frikken right!!! They both are 10 month old puppies, trying to stop them from getting the zoomies and wrestling is nearly impossible. Especially with Tony around. He is nuts!!

Speaking of Tony…

After throwing a fit because Elmer was taking a nap, he zoomed around a bit and ended up on his back on the back of the couch. Looking around as if he had no idea how he got there.

@kuku-splatts know how to tame Ol’ Tweekin’ Tony…

He is so funny!! When he is tired he will gently gnaw on your hand or finger. Then he will just hold it in his mouth as he struggles to keep his eyes open.

Sometimes he even falls asleep with his head up in the air or with the carcass of a stuffed animal shoved in his mouth.

One thing I know for sure is that these two pound puppies have brought the Splatts house tons of smiles and laughter. With some frustrations along the way, when they decide to chew on the walls or rip a whole in the carpet…

Just a little longer in the cone of shame and Elmer should be back to himself. For now we just need to keep him chilled out…

I love dog a lot

They are definitely a ton of fun.

Yes I totally agree with you

The first image made me laugh😂😂 He is sitting so comfortably on you. I hope he feels better soon

I guess I am a comfortable place to relax. lol. He is doing a lot better and goes in for a check up this week.

Oh that’s great then

Too cute! 😄

Cute little troublemakers. lol

Awwwz hope he gets well quick

If we can keep him from getting all wild and crazy, he should heal up pretty quick.

I'm now convinced that Tony would make a cryptoload off of posting yoga poses. Your dogs are too cute. Love it.

For sure!! He is a yoga/contortionist dog that acts like he is doped up on meth. 😂

O M G 😂 That's not natural.

We don't call him Tweaker Tony for nothin'. My daughter gave him that name. SMDH LOL

😂 I'm wondering, if perhaps, you've climbed too many posts, or your dogs have sat/layed on your head too often.

Seriously though, so cute that your daughter gave him that name; it fits.

Probably all the above and some… 🤣😂

😂 It must be a riot of fun with your family at times. A dad with a solid sense of wacky weird humour is a bonus, based on my experience.

I love the pictures make me laugh
Have a great day

Awesome!! I glad it brought a smile to your face. Have an awesome day.

Absolutely love the update on your new canine companions! Elmer and Tony sound like an absolute riot – the dynamic between the little powerhouse and the leggy explorer must be endlessly entertaining. The fact that they invade personal space with such gusto is both hilarious and endearing. The wrestling matches and Tony's acrobatics paint a vivid picture of the chaos and joy they bring. It's heartwarming to hear how they express their exhaustion, especially Tony with his adorable habit of gnawing on fingers. Wishing you endless laughter and cuddles with these dynamic duos! 🐾💕

If that isn’t the perfect explanation, I don’t know what is…

I need to put together a little dog wrestling video. Compile a bunch of their scuffles into one.

Thanks for stopping by and the kind words.

😊🤪 yeah.. the cone just adds to his image.. like darth vader's helmet!

Totally reminds me of this old movie Space-Balls. 🤣😂

🤣 yes!

They are wonderful and very creative.😌
We have a small dog, but he is also a troublemaker, very creative in his own way.
And Wish a speedy return to the rest Elmer😁

It's been a real battle to get Elmer not to wrestle and fight with Tony. Most of the time Elmer starts it by biting Tony's legs. Then Tony goes wild. LOL

jeje que lindos, se me montan así y me dejan adolorida jaja


hehe how cute, they ride me like this and leave me sore haha

I did develope a slight kink in my neck after the first photo. 🤣😂
