The doodles have comapny!

I can't put this on Facebook because it's not my news, but I'm so excited! Cousin Riley is here staying with me and the girls while her mom and dad are off having a 2-legged baby! It will be my newest nephew and I am very excited! The girls are alternating between kissing her and growling at her, but really they're getting along very well. It always fascinates me how different dog breeds really are. Riley weighs as much as Ava, and she's taller than Ava, but she's so skinny and she does not look like a 60 pound dog. She's also super slobber face and that short hair makes me a little itchy. But she's a real sweetheart and I am very much a more the merrier kind of person so it's nice to have another dog around. This really is a very tiny little house though. It's a good reminder that three might feel a little crowded if it was permanent (aka Ava isn't sharing her spot on the couch.) But mostly I'm just excited for a new nephew!

I gave up this morning and decided that by restricted activity they must have meant restricted to the back yard. I'm not a tiny little person, and she's doing her best sled dog impression dragging me around. That can't be less stress on that laceration than being crazy without me attached. I suspect she will be good as new in a couple days. Or we're going to have to sedate her until it's healed! 

This is not the first time I will have replaced that screen!

All of my dogs have gone through the screens because our windows are low enough.  We finally replaced them with supposed dog proof ones. Since getting brat dog (Charlie) the frame of one is bent.  I have a baby gate in front of it now!  Of course the leader in screen demo was our Springer Spaniel - same dog as your visitor with more hair. Tee hee.
