Missy goes to the vet...

Well, we've had Missy a little over 3 weeks now... guess she's a keeper! (Previous blog entry on the Missy saga... here!)

This morning she goes to the vet. Hope to find out exactly what kind of dog she is... and how old.

This week we've been working on playing ball. She's getting better at returning the ball to me now.

Yesterday as a break from working in the kitchen, I did some raking and burning weeds. It was fun to have Missy outside with me... well... that is... until my cat Katie tried to chase her away!

OK, I admit it... I love having a dog.

Missy has won over our hearts!

It's been over a week now. She takes me for walks and I have to admit... I love getting out and walking again!

She walks with me to take the garbage out at night...

No need for a door bell anymore! I'm alerted to all potential visitors!

She respects my 2 kittens and 2 adult cats... Again I ask... "Missy did you know when you chose us that we had 4 cats?"

Did she know?

Did she know when she picked our house that she chose a family not only with two boys... but with 4 cats?

The dog that adopted us.... day 4.

Missy enjoyed many walks this weekend! She seems to be settling in nicely and is already taking a place in each of our hearts...

She had a run in with our big black fluffy cat this morning. Fluffy was out all night and more than ready to come in this morning at 5:30am when I took Missy out.

Missy was a little too rambunctious for Fluffy... and learned her first... "Stay away from Cats" lesson.

I'm about ready to go for a walk with her before getting started with my morning stuff.

Charlie

I was so upset last night! Charlie our flame point siamese kitten had gone outside with Fluffy while I was making supper. Then... I forgot about him.

So at 9:30 last night fear struck when I remember what I had done... and couldn't find him anywhere in the house. (The kids usually let the cats in when they see them out the french doors to the backyard.)

For an hour I was calling "Charlie.... Charlie...." walking outside all around the house... Sadly at 10:30 I crawled into bed saying prayer that he'd be OK during the night.

In the bathroom this morning our other kitten named Emma was smelling around the vanity door... so I opened it up... and out came Charlie! Sigh...

Aaron (age 12) had had the door open, Charlie went in... Aaron closed the door... last night at shower time.

The Chicken Wisperer had this FB entry this morning: Madison, WI Couple

It would be so cool to have chickens! Maybe?
