DeeDee and Sheila's Blog – February 2010 Archive (5)

Ok I',m not trying to be a smarty pants, but I have this God List. Things I can't wait to ask God someday. You know, things like how are we supposed to raise our children (and puppies correctly when THEY have more energy than US? I mean, how much p and p can a 4 1/2 lb. dog excrete in one day? We've gone out so many times that I am proud ?! to say that Sheila knows the difference between the word potty (#1) and poop. She doesn't tell me when she wants to do either of these things, though. I…

It's 10 AM. Sheila made it to 7AM this morning. Yeah. So far I've bundled up 3 times for potty, zoomies.

Sheila has fallen in love w/ the birds, watching them eat, barking at them (hmmm). Played in the new snow (I have a longggggggg training leash so she can zoom and boy, whoever came up w/ that term was a genius (love the romp word, too). She jumped face first into DH winter boots, I would have taken pic but I was afraid she'd suffocate. Then she played in snow, is now braver, going…

I am tired, achy,exhausted, happy!! Sheila is a tiny tot, weighing in at 41/2 lbs. at 4 mos. But she is a bundle of energy and reminds me of a hummingbird. She just whirs with excitement, her tail and her whole body wagging, hopping, chewing, p and p-ing. I keep trying to catch shots of her but she is too fast for my camera!!

Luckily Sheila loves snow. She is a true Maine girl, born and bred. That's good, since thats where we spend…

Sheila and I got home late Thurs. night from Maine. She was such a trooper and what a little doll. We had a twelve hour trip home, and I got Sheila out of her carrier whenever possible. I know you won't believe this, NO ACCIDENTS on the way home (now that we're HOME I can't make that brag-oy)! Maine was gorgeous, warmer than the Midwest. Patty Barnes' operation is something else!! I'll post a couple of pics on my page. The guest quarters was awesome, really like a Maine cabin with kitchen,…

I leave to get Sheila in Maine on early Tues. morning. I am so excited to meet Sheila and her sibling Tucker. I just pray the snow holds off long enough for me to dart to Maine and back to Illinois--although can one DART to Maine? Two planes and a 3 hr.rental car ride from Portland, ME to Dover-Foxcroft, ME. I hope it's not too hard on the little thing. I will wear plenty of layers just in case of accidents. This reminds me of when I flew with our 15 mo. old deaf child back…
