Run, Run, Run!

Fifi and Callie did not understand that they had to stay inside while Dad was driving the tractor today. Every time the door was opened they would race towards the garden completely ignoring me as I called them back. They were not getting in the way or barking or anything, but if they had gotten under they tractor they could have been crushed. Better safe then sorry. 

But why did they want to go outside then anyway? Most of the time they are scratching on the door after a few minutes so we will let them in. I think that they are crazy, but in a good way of course.

Happy Birthday Chacha!

Today is Chacha's 10th birthday! 

It does not seem like that long ago when Chacha was given to me for Christmas at 7 months old. 

But then, I can't really remember a time without him. He is always there when I am upset or not feeling well and I always try to be there for him. Although my family has always had dogs, he is the first and only dog that is mine. We know each other like a book! Age is not slowing him down much and he still enjoys chasing chickens, going on nature walks, bossing Callie around and attacking my sister, Summer. He does not have many teeth left so his tongue hangs out and he can't chew much hard food. He has white hair down his back and is going bald on his ears and tail. Other then that, he has not changed much. He spends a lot of time sleeping, but so does the other dogs.
I do not understand how so many people can abandoned their dogs once they get older.
I have never loved Chacha more then I do now.
