Callie's Birthday

Callie is 6 years old today!

True Love

Who says animals don't love?

Chacha has been in love with Fifi since they first met and you can see it in his eyes when he looks at her. If you say her name, he snaps his head around to look for her. He is very protective of his lady, doesn't even let her play with Callie.

He holds Callie back while she eats (Fifi is nervous around bowls and Callie takes advantage of this by stealing all of her food). 

When he is around Fifi, Chacha is a real gentleman.

At the Lighthouse

With the cool weather we have been having, it is a great time to go on nature trails.

And who's better to take along then your best friend?

Dogs love to explore, so I take Chacha with me as often as possible. I usually have to carry him after a while because he doesn't have the energy he use to, but he keeps going for as long as he can.

Yesterday, we went to the lighthouse and everyone had a great time. Dogs are awesome!

The Problem with Girls

Fifi and Callie are in heat... 

Now Chacha is going to be acting crazy for a couple of weeks or so. 

He can't get them pregnant for some reason, but he doesn't seem to understand that. If he could, we would probably have to get the girls spayed. Chacha is so small that he might not wake back up if we took him in, and Fifi is only a little bit bigger. One of my aunts took a cat to be spayed and she died, so we've never wanted to chance it. 

That being said, my next dog will be fixed when he/she is young and healthy.

Chacha doesn't like it, but he is banished to my room until he leaves the girls alone.

Oh, Lunch!

This is Callie eating homemade vegan mac and cheese. 

All the dogs love it and so do I. 

(Message me for the recipe. It is really good!)

The song is The Prisoner by Iron Maiden

Pool = Food

Callie actually likes to swim in our new pool. 

I find this very surprising because the other dogs have never liked getting wet. 

But Callie has learned that sometimes the pool means food, and she loves food. 

Fireworks

Chacha and Callie are not big fans of the fireworks (or thunder) but at least they don't panic. 

They just ask to be held or go hide in one of the bedrooms. 

Walk at the Lighthouse

We had a nice walk at the Lighthouse this past Saturday. We saw a opossum, raccoons, alligators, fiddler crabs, blue crabs, lots of little fishes, many different kinds of birds and a beautiful rainbow. The dogs always enjoy going places.

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.
