Doggie Photo Shoot

The other day, with lots of help from my ever supportive and patient husband Bill, I did a photo shoot with all the doggies after they had all had a bath. {This time I did their baths in shifts, three at a time, TeeHee}.  Here are the best ones out of about 30 photos.....

These are the three Yorkies that we are dog-sitting: Maila, Mai-Li, and Mumbo

These are our three doggies: Lady Mia, Mandie, and Nano

The Boys: Mumbo and Nano

The Girls: Lady Mia, Mandie, Mai-Li, and Maila

The Yorkies: Nano, Lady Mia, Mai-Li, Maila, and Mumbo

Everybody: Nano, Lady Mia, Mandie, Mai-Li, Maila, and Mumbo

Do you KNOW how hard it is to get six dogs to all look one way at the same time????  If you look at the photos, you can see that it is darned impossible.  I still think they are all so adorable and I am going to miss Mai-Li, Maila and Mumbo when they go home.  Their mama, Tyna, is coming home tomorrow and will be picking them up.  I know she misses them terribly and they miss her.  We have been texting her photos almost every day of them and she is so grateful. 

Hope you enjoyed the photos and have a wonderful week.

Meet the New Member of Our Family

Please meet Mandie Kathryn Shewbridge... she is an eight pound one year old Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher mix that we rescued from the Helping Paws Humane Society.  She had been abused before and was fostered by a lovely couple who took great care of her for the last few months and we are very grateful to them.  She is such a sweetheart and hardly makes any noise at all, she loves to cuddle and sleeps with us all curled up in a ball.  She is already potty trained, which makes my life much easier.  She is a bit skittish with people but eventually comes around with patience and gentleness.  She is getting along with the other babies in the house fairly well, but is still a little shy, I am sure in a short time they will all be life-long friends.  I am so happy that we were able to open our home and hearts to this little love. 

"Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms."
