As Shelli puts it-------

It’s our Gotcha day.
It’s three years ago today that we found our way to our forever home. We didn’t have a clue what we had in store for us, or even where we were going. But being just little kids, we went where they took us and did what they said we had to do.
Just imagine our surprise after days and days and days and days, (okay maybe it wasn’t that long, but it sure felt like it) when we stopped in front of this house, and this person came running out. Oh she was soooooooooo happy to see us.  She oohed and awed and when Annnie went belly up she rubbed it.
When she saw how shy I was, she touched me oh so gently, and told me she loved us already.
It was just the beginning of our love fest, it still goes on to this day, and they promise to go on for the rest of our lives.
So we are celebrating love today, and send it on to you. Because it is your gotcha day too, it’s the day we got you…..
With all our love,
Quigley and Annie the happiest dogs in the world

Wasn’t it nice of God------

 

So this is our favorite park, you know the one in Hopwood that we talk about so much. Well we have been having a lot of rain lately, and dad said this was a flood.

But we think he is sooooooooooo wrong. It is just another place for us to have a drink and wash our feet and just make him a little crazy.

It took a long time for that to dry up, our walks involved going back and forth, walking through mud (OH happy day) and thinking this spring thing is okay. Anyway, it’s all dried up now, and mom has decided that it’s okay for her to come along. She is so fussy about wet, mud, dirt---, we just don’t understand.

We have an anniversary coming up soon. It will be 3 years we have been in our forever home. We finally believe they will love us forever, just like they promised.

So we’ll talk to you soon, and don’t forget walking through mud is the most fun,

Love, Annie and Quigley

Oh Boy am I in trouble--------

So yesterday was Easter, a glorious day, a Holy day, a day with friends and sooooooooooo much food.
Yup, you guessed it, that is what got this little girl in trouble. Our good friend Miss Rosemary came to have dinner with us, and she couldn’t get into the fence, so she started to come to the front door. Mom and dad both went running to help her, cause we don’t have a railing on the steps in the front.
That’s when I saw my chance, dad had been cutting up the ham ( do you have any idea how good ham smells to dogs?) and I admit, I had been stalking the floor to see if he dropped any. But he didn’t and I was getting a little disappointed.
And that is when the commotion started and I saw my chance.
And I almost got away with it, if my dope of a brother hadn’t messed me up.
As Miss Rosemary was coming in the back door with dad, mom was watching to make sure no one tried to jump on her. Quig was doing his “oh I am so excited, oh I am so cute,” and all of a sudden mom started to panic. All I heard in the back of my mind was her saying---where’s Annie, John, where’s Annie. Me, I just wanted to hide, cause,—well--, I kind of,—sort of—stole a hunk of ham. And I had it stowed away in the little crate. I was trying to eat it before anyone saw, but NO, because of brub, she started looking for me, and nabbed me.
She made dad take away what was left from what I swiped, and she was really disappointed in me. I have been told a million times not to get up on the counters, but REALLY-- it was ham, and it smelled soooooooooooooooo good.
So today I am literally in the DOG house. But lucky for me, they really love me and their short term memories and just that- short. So today, they aren’t giving me the evil eye anymore.
I hope you got to eat all the ham you wanted to, and no one got disappointed in you.
Blessings to all our friends,
Love, Annie the girl who almost got away with it.
