Christmas Lights!

Due to the way our house sits, my grand plans of putting up Christmas lights fell through. We were only able to put lights around the porch. Thanks to my dad and husband, I now have lights!

Crazy dogs...

Chloe decided that she didn't like where the box was placed and tried to move it.

Sammy wanted to save her food for later but had to do something so that the other dogs wouldn't "find" her food....

Snoozing..something Chloe does well!

Chloe laying on top of Jeff (who is under the blanket).


Chloe having snuggle time with her dad.

New furniture and random cute pictures of my dogs...

We were finally able to go and get the couch and loveseat. Buster had to "nap test" the loveseat!

He slept in that spot for most of the evening...I think he likes it!!



Chloe was happy to have a chair to herself finally!


Jeff breaking in the couch.. (notice the stand heater...still have no working furnace).


Chloe knows there's more peanut butter in there..but how to get it out?

Sammy sitting pretty!

Harley looking handsome as ever!

Thanksgiving

So, we are having Thanksgiving dinner at our house with my family. I am very excited as I have never had a Thanksgiving dinner at my VERY own house before!

New oven that uses convection so that dinner will cook quickly...check

New fridge with plenty of space to hold things so that I can make them ahead of time...check

A place for everyone to sit....ummmm.....that would be a no.

Since our dogs (Elliott) chewed up our couch, we got a new couch and love seat. Hopefully the dogs will not destroy these (or I will be one unhappy momma!). Here is what our new set will look like:

Sleepy a.k.a. Sammy

We welcomed a new foster pup last night and her given name is Sleepy. We don't like that name, so we are going to call her Sammy. She is super sweet but VERY timid. Harley is slowly trying to get her out of her shell. Cami went to stay with Aunt Emily and Uncle Shaun because she has a little bit too much sass for the new baby.

Happy Halloween!

Chloe and Elliott tried on their costumes tonight. Buster's was in the car, so he didn't get to try his on. He already entered a contest last weekend at Pitbull Awareness Day anyway (he lost, but he gave it a good try!).

Seriously, mom?

He's baaaack......

Well, after a short stint away, Elliott was returned. Aggressive, he is not. Pain in the butt, yes. But, he is a BULLDOG. That's his nature. Besides...he's sweet (and kind of cute) when he's sleeping.....

See mom...I CAN be a little dog!

Look at that extra large head! He moved the cushions on the loveseat so that he could lay on one of them.

Chloe and Elliott sharing HALF of the loveseat...Elliott was there first....

Penny - doing much better!

And Thunder Buster....handsome as ever!

I think Da Chlo was a little tired....

Not quiet for long!

Well, I knew that our house would only have 3 dogs for a short period of time. We welcomed a new foster, Penny to our home. As you can see, she is VERY skinny, but I will have her fattened up in no time! Once she is at a good weight, she will be able to go to her forever home.

So quite....

Elliott was officially adopted today (well, he at least started his 2 week trial with his new home). Things instantly calmed down here at home, and I think that he will be spoiled like he's never been spoiled before at his new house.

So, after I dropped him off and said my good-byes, I went to the store and bought SOCKS! Yep, socks...since Elliott ate and regurgitated most of Jeff's socks. I needed some new ones too.

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..."
