Days 10-13:Â Finally, a semi-normal routine.....
My fur babies have continued to adjust & have settled into a routine (of sorts):Â play in the morning, eat, play some more, sleep, sleep some more, potty break, play at dusk, play harder, eat, chew bone chips, sleep, play late at night, sleep......
Lucy can now jump onto the bed & it's like having a human child sleep in your bed with you...she wiggles, she moves, she "talks", she crawls, she tries to chew on mommy, she walks on mommy & Casper, and plops herself down at the top of the bed just above mommy's head on mommy's pillow and curls her body around mommy's head....someti
mes she has to groom mommy's hair, and sometimes she wakes mommy up by giving her puppy kisses in the morning.....
This morning, mommy ignored Bella (she was nosing the levalor blinds at the window & making lots of noise)....and when mommy finally woke up, Bella had snatched one of her leather sandals & chewed through the strap Â
  ....a few days ago, mommy woke to the sound of gnawing & went & checked....Bel
la looked very innocent, but on close examination of the area where she was lying, the baseboard had been chewed onÂ
  ....Lucy accidently/on purpose spilled mommy's ice water this evening and Bella spent several concentrated minutes looking for & chewing the ice cubes...
Â
Well, stupid mommy thought it was funny that she was chewing ice cubes (mom's addicted to chewing ice, too) and so she put crushed ice in the water bowls when she brought the furkids in to eat supper.....and, because Bella has taken Zoey's advice about how to drool, all the water she picked up with the cubes leaked out of the back of her mouth where her lips are loose, and onto the floor....Lucy thought that water splashing was great fun and began pawing at the water & cubes that remained in the bowls and splashing it out & then zooming around the house with wet paws (yup - headed straight for the hardwood dining room floor first, too!!)!!!
 Think they were just trying to help mommy keep the floor clean???
I've been looking at Casper & Bella (pure pyr) & Lucy (pyr/collie mix?) & wondering .... Casper was originally thought to be a Pyr/lab mix, & then a Pyr/German shepherd mix (when he developed a sensitive stomach & I had to do an elimination diet to find out what it was - greenies); but after seeing the cute pictures on the Kuvasz site, I'm wondering if he's got some of that breed in him too? Whatever he is - he's a lovebug! He's starting his fall "molt" and I'm having fun pulling his undercoat out - it's kinda like popping the bubble wrap...ya just can't pop one bubble, and I can't do just one pull! Fortunately, he's really good natured and tolerates his mom messing with him.
Chessie the cat decided to help mom put together some cabinets on Labor day, and the 3 dogs lined up to watch....Caspe
r decided to get camera shy just as I snapped the picture (he doesn't like the infared beam or the flash)....
Lucy kept falling asleep so I put her on the bed & she crawled right up to my/ummmm, her pillow---it was too much to resist posing her with Miko's bear......I am soooo blessed to have these sweeties in my life!!!
