Sun Bathing

You can't tell by looking at these photos, but Chloe can't stand the puppy. I've had to break up 2 fights. Chloe is a total bully. She always has been. However, Chloe is somewhat obsessed with sleeping near or next to Nala. As long as the puppy is quiet and sleeping, Chloe tolerates her. Nala was sleeping here first, and Chloe came up to her and made herself comfortable. It gives me hope that she will one day get used to her.

My family, who I love with all my heart.

Introducing......

Nala!!!!

Meet our new Border Collie puppy, Nala. She is 9 weeks old. We adopted her at our local humane society. She came home Thursday, and she has been a marvelous addition to our family.

Our two older dogs, Chloe & Riley, are doing much better with the new addition than I expected. Nala is learning the ropes around the house and doing quite well. We've had very few potty accidents (thank God!). She did want to get up and play today at 5am! I was not too thrilled with that. Otherwise, things are going really well. Sage is thrilled to have her own puppy.

Happy Thanksgiving

Little Leopard

Sage was a leopard for Halloween this year. Up until the week before, she wanted to be Jack Skellington, so I was thrilled when she changed her mind (& I didn't even have to persuade her). We did our trick or treating in the neighboorhoods around our house. She loved every minute of it!

Goodbye Sweet Girl

We said goodbye to our sweet & loyal companion of almost 15 years on Tuesday. I found Lucy when Scott and I had barely been married 2 years. I was a first year nursing student, living in a home that didn't allow pets. I didn't care. I took one look at her face (she had 1 blue eye and 1 brown eye) and knew WE were meant to be. She was my child for the many years I couldn't have my own child. She was that once in a lifetime dog that I think we all have. She will be forever missed.
