Paisley & Lucky

Besides the grandbaby, I have to admit I take more pictures of Paisley than anything else. I never knew I could love an animal SO much.

And let me just brag on the puppy a little bit!
She is SO smart! We've taught her how to sit, shake, lay down, roll over and more recently to play dead.

When she wants a treat now, she will just go around the room playing dead. It's very cute and nearly irresistible. She sleeps in her crate all night long and doesn't make a peep until she hears someone is up.

She is very good with the baby too.

She doesn't mind being messed with or if she does, she doesn't growl or make a peep.
She has the cutest little white mark on her butt. We call it her bar code.

She is not very big and doesn't bark unless someone comes to the door.
She is a little OCD I think. If she comes out in the morning and something has changed or something is not where it belongs inside or outside, she will growl and her hair stands up like a mohawk. If she doesn't recognize someone, she will do that as well.
Her best friends are Jake and Megan's dog,
Trixie

and our kitten, Lucky.Lucky is so named due to a 15 minute interstate ride in the wheel well of my car.

Lucky is normally an outdoor cat that we got primarily to keep away the mice. At the moment she is staying in the laundry room because we took her and had her spayed on Friday. She is a very loveable little bundle of lots of fur. She is very pretty and has the same coloring as Paisley.

Thats all about the animals. Aren't they adorable?
I posted on my stamping blog yesterday and this one today. Just call me butter cuz I am on a roll!
Have a great day!

The Dogs

For the longest time I wanted a beagle just like Trixie which is Jake and Megan's dog. So we looked and we found a 3 year old beagle at the local shelter. She was a little bigger than Trixie, but seemed sweet. We brought her home and named her Ruby. She was fine at first, but got sick and she just continued to get sicker and sicker. We spent quite a bit of money at the vet's office trying to get her better, but ended up running out of money before we could get her well. We took her back to the shelter so she could get the care she needed. I felt so guilty and sometimes still do. We waited a little while and then I found a dog on Craig's List.

Her name is Paisley and we brought her home on August 17. She was around 4 months old at the time so we'll celebrate her birthday on St Patrick's Day next year. We got her from a rescue and she is a perfect fit for our family. She's pretty smart too. We've already taught her several tricks which she will perform in succession to get a treat. She is full of character and even has an adorable underbite. We aren't sure exactly what else she is besides beagle.

The above pictures were mostly taken right after we got her.

And then her adult teeth grew in....see the underbite?

The following pic was taken yesterday. Paisley and Trixie have become good friends!

I had to post this picture too!
Trixie LOVES the wood burning stove. She does not like being cold.

That's all for this post. I've got one more too!
Have a good day!!!
