Chaos

6. Count them. Recount them. There are 6 dogs at my house. It's going pretty well, though. The crate was put up as an attempt to keep them out of the computer room while I worked on my homework.

Chloe does not dig. Yeah, right.

As much as I would like to be able to say my wonderful, sweet, cute dog does not dig holes, the dirt on her nose tells a different story. I couldn't get her to look right at me - she was avoiding eye contact because she knew she was in trouble.

Trick or Treat!

Harley and Chloe tried on their new Halloween costumes...

"Does this make me look fat?"

Back view...

"Boo! I scare you!"

Hard to see, but it was a neat spiderweb on the back porch.

Recent happenings

Nothing much new here..no new dogs, just ones that are getting bigger!!


"Now why would I dig the stuffing out of the couch, mom?"

Our first Kong has officially died, thanks to Elliott.

Feeding time at the zoo, courtesy of Kaiya and her leftover breakfast. See how nicely they sit when you have food in your hands?

Happy little Harley..well, he's not so little anymore...

"You see those bunnies over there, mom? Those ones right there on the other side of the fence. It was them! They made me dig that hole right there."

The Life...

Life as a puppy is rough.....

Elliott on the "bottom," Chloe in the "middle," and Cami at the "top."

"Well, kid..."

Another Puppy!

Meet Cami, our newest foster! We think that she is about 12 weeks old and she weighs in at 20 lbs! She is a very sweet little girl and she LOVES to snuggle!

Vacation!

We traveled to CT for Matt and Allison's wedding. Here are some pictures of what we have done so far....

The Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, CT

The Beach in Rhode Island...

Slobberfest 2008

Since Stollie didn't get along with the cats, we put him in another foster home and got Elliott. He is a rescue from the Franklin County Humane Society and he is an Olde English Bulldogge. I call him "Idiot." I mean it in the nicest way though.. ;) He also goes by "Lunkhead."

Welcome, Stollie!

This is Stollie - our newest foster dog. He is very skinny (only 60 lbs) and is very scared (especially of men), so we will be working with him a lot. Everyone is getting along quite well! :)

Penny was adopted last weekend, so we now have another foster, Harley. He looks black, but he is actually what they call "seal" colored (he looks black and then he looks brown). He is very, very sweet and is very, very smart! :)

(P.S. - If you need to have pictures taken, check out www.lynnterry.com - she does AWESOME work and is great with animals - she also takes pictures of humans though too!)

"CHEESE!!!"

So handsome!

I realized that I hadn't posted any recent pictures of Chloe, the Queen Dog of the Schmidt household, so here are some of her!

Chloe's new bad habit she learned from one of the fosters..chewing on sticks that she pulled off of one of the bushes..notice the dirty coat....she was digging before she found the stick....yet another bad habit she learned from a foster!

Rain...plus digging...plus white dog...equals A MESS! She wanted in because it was raining and she does NOT like standing in the rain...

Chloe...tired of all of the fireworks going off....

So sleepy...

Goodnight!
