AREN'T WE THE BEST?

No more nightly crying since night 1. No more crate messes since night 2. Morning wake-up is around 6am (a bit more reasonable than 4:30… but whatever it takes). These little sisters get along very well together. They bark at each other all the time and play together with each other, along side each other and independently of each other which is great as there is hardly any jealousy displayed unless they both want the same lap at the same time.

We are all finding our way into each other's routines. Our favorite routine AND HOPEFULLY THEIRS… Lap time love snuggles before bedtime!

Trixie Adopted!


Hello all,
Just wanted to let you know that Jersey Girl/ Trixie and Gidget were adopted today together! They are living the good life in Chicago Heights. The family if very animal friendly their backyard is full of noisy birds,squirrels, chipmunks and bunnies. The have wonderful oak trees in back with huge nests, I saw 3 woodpeckers when I pulled up to their driveway. The wildlife will not know what happened once those pups get off leash. They have a mud puddle in the back yard that they are waiting to dry up before they are allowed off leash. Gidget and Trix were excited to see each other and recognized each other right away and then the playing began! Both pups are about 25 lbs now and are all legs!
Chris and Mary were very excited to have their children in their home!
Here's a photo of Gidget & Trixie with their new parents. I forgot my camera and had to use my camera phone.

What a wonderful girl!

I just can't say enough what a wonderful pup she is. Her potty training is going VERY well and she is at about 90%, I would say. For her age she is not bitey or jumpy at all. She is also quite the cuddler and makes cute groaning noises when she is snuggling in for a hug.

Successful Surgery!

Jersey Girl, who's been lovingly renamed "Trixie" says "thank you thank you thank you" to the wonderful staff at All Creatures Great and Small in Downers Grove for her wonderful new look. Her eyes are still a little red and swollen and she is being pampered here with a snuggle buddy on the couch after her spay/eye surgery yesterday. She took some food and water this morning and will be scampering around before we know it! Wow Trixie! Now you are just as cute as you are a sweetheart!
