It was right after we rescued that poor little
frozen stray poodle off the street, that i started thinking that maybe....just maybe, i COULD have five dogs....
I mean, i felt so responsible for that poor little dog, and he was small and wouldn't take up much space, and yes, i would have to work out the fact that he would be older and might not like being chased by a dog eating parrot, but maybe we could work that problem out with time... After a lot of soul searching and worry, i had decided that i would go to the shelter and visit with that little guy and see if i thought it would work.
That was Thursday evening...Friday morning he was adopted. I have to admit i was both disappointed and relieved...Then, that same morning i got an email from my niece, who had adopted Ruben's sister. She had decided that she needed to find a new home for her puppy, Little Honey, and did i know anyone who wanted a puppy??? Without even thinking i said yes! I could definitely help her out!
Meet Little Honey...our new puppy... She is much
smaller than her brother Rubie, and has more of a terrier personality than he does (Rubie is very laid back) but after just 24 hours of going from a home with two small boys and no dogs, to a home with no small boys and 4 dogs, she is adjusting and doing just fine!
She is learning so much from the pack here...
Meal time is interesting. I could use another hand to pass out the food bowls...
Here's a picture of Little Honey and Rubie standing next to each other so you can see the size difference. It's not a very good shot but at least it's not blurry. They play constantly with each other and the group...
Little Honey is learning how to share food from the community dry food bowl, to play
doggie tug of war, and to fetch the balls i throw for the dogs every morning. And even tho there are more puddles to clean up around here, there is also more love.... Better photos and updates to come!
This week has been pretty rough. Bill is still in the hospital, making slow progress, but making progress none the less! Still running back and forth to the hospital to spend the day with him, and coming home late, staying up even later with the dogs who have been cooped up all day long, and dragging out of bed to start all over again has been...interesting this week.
But no matter what is going on in my world, when Lola comes to visit, the sun seems to come out and shine bright and nothing can keep me from smiling, right down to my toes.
She has discovered my St Francis statue on my altar, and has taken a shining to him. She likes to look at the little birds that are perched on his head, shoulder, hands and feet.
She reminds me that no matter what is going on, the world is a magical place
that rocking in a rocking chair reminds me of swinging on a swing in the park
and that life is just too much fun to sit still and worry for too long....
