Interview with Josie, Snacking Allegations

Josie Devine's Interview.

Interviewer: "How are you today?"

Josie: "I'm ok but they have me starving all the time".

Interviewer: "Oh really, how is that?"

Josie: "They give me these yucky kibble often covered in sauce, while they have more yummy looking food like chicken, pasta, chips, carrots, and so many other yummy looking food."

Interviewer: "From what I hear you have an insider who 'hooks you up' with all these 'yummy foods' on the side."

Josie: "I don't know who your sources are but they're wrong. I have no such person.... This interview is OVER!"

We're Just Peeking out the Door

What we have here are three little doggies peeking to see what's going on just outside their front door. These guys know they are not allowed to step past the door frame while people come and go.

One day I had the door open and all three of them were standing side by side looking out the door and thought to myself, I really must get a photo of them doing that again from the other side, the front side.

Who know what's got these guys attentions but whatever it was, it sure does seem interesting.

Cleaning the house is Hard Work!

Who knew cleaning the house is such hard work? It's only 9 am and I am already pooped! I think I am going to lay down here and just relax and supervise the work from right here.

You missed a spot.

Dogs helping to make the bed

"We thought mom needed lots of company while making the bed." Caillee.

Making the bed each morning can be a bit tricky. Let us say there may be two dogs on the bed and I tell them to get off, they do, then the third one comes by and thinking the bed is free for lounging. I tell that dog to get off while the other ones are jumping back one seeing the third one on the bed. It can be kind of fun and interesting making the bed each morning.

Today I thought I would make the bed while the dogs were still on the bed and make the bed around them. Josie found herself way tucked in between the bed spread and she found her way out in a hurry. Oliver found himself under the blanket and he too found his way out pretty fast. Caillee was smart enough to keep moving around the bed until I was done. I finished making the bed in no time and I still had fun doing it.

Happy Birthday Kevin...

Happy Birthday Kevin!

We've been prettied up for Kevin's Birthday open house. We are expecting treats from every visitor. Josie says she would like some bacon but thinks chicken will do in a pinch. Caillee will take anything you got! Oliver thinks this whole visitor/treat wish list is very silly. Josie yells over to Oliver and tells him to shut-up and learn from a master.

Lucy and Roland Came for a Super Quick Visit

Here is Lucy and Roland poses ever so nicely for a photo op.

This was Roland's first visit to our house and he got to meet Oliver and Caillee. Josie was pre-occupied with hubby.

Lucy got to meet Oliver and Caillee again. She looked so tiny in comparison to Oliver but as I kept pointing out, Oliver has tons of hair, and when I flatten his hair down you can see he isn't such a big boy after all.

Lucy's mom and I were tinkled pink Lucy seemed to have totally remembered hubby. She seemed so excited to see him again and seemed so very at home in his lap.

Hubby picked up Roland and he seemed totally at home in his arms. I think Hubby may have a way with puppies...

Here is Oliver getting in the way of me taking more photos of Lucy and Roland.

Here is Lucy and Roland saying good-bye in their winter gear. MG7XH3CC7N5S

Happy New Year!

All the very best for you and yours in 2012.
