First of all-------HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

 

I know it’s been a very long time since we stopped by to say hello, but we’ve got a lot of excuses……..

First of all we went to see Andy, well really it was to see Camille, but the big extra was seeing Andy. Now we were only gone for 4 days, but look at the bags mom put together to take. And believe it or not---there were more already in the car. Annie and I were afraid they wouldn’t have room for us.

But they did and after a long ride, we arrived at the farm. Now I know we’ve said it before, but we really love that place. We are free to run and roll and sniff all kinds of stuff.

Here I am being a foot rest for Camille. She and dad were doing crafty stuff mom brought along. My fur is very soft, and little toes really like enjoying the feel of them.

This is Bosco, he’s something called a cat. Now the rumor is, dogs don’t like cats, but as you can see in this picture, that is just not true. I love Bosco and he loves me. I asked mom to bring him home with us, but she said it would make Camille sad,so we couldn’t do that. Next time around we’ll show you the cat Annie fell in love with.

Speaking of Annie, she found a spot to sun in and show how pretty she is.. Don’t worry she didn’t dig that hole, she just took it over for the few days we were there.

The farm is a wonderful place, we love being able to run and play and kiss a pretty little girl’s face. We slept the whole way home and then mom couldn’t get these pictures to download (what ever that means) so it took awhile to post. Sorry…….

More pictures of the horses, and dogs and cats to come, but until then, here’s to taking a little road trip to see the people you love.

We wish we could take one to see all of you,

Love, the adorable’s,

Quigley and Annie

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.

Our mom left us------

 

Do you think this pose is cute enough to get her to come home again? She usually stops and rubs my belly when I do this, but what about when she is staying somewhere else?

I know sometimes she wants to go see Aunt Maria, and we can’t go because dad just can’t be alone. He needs us to take care of him, to make sure he goes for walks, eats regularly, goes to bed on time. So we stayed home and she left us.

We did all we promised to do, and prayed she would come back home sooner than later.

And joy of all joy, she did. She came back home today and we jumped for joy, ran around in circles, and kissed her face. It’s nice to have our little family all together again.

I am a little worried tho, we did such a good job taking care of dad, does that mean she is going to go away again?????

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo

Help us keep our momma home,

Love, Annie

We LOVE to go to the bank

They have really cool stuff there. Big poles with strange boxes in them. And when we watch really close—like now
sometimes the nice girls that work inside the building see us.
And they send us these wonderful treats. Being absolutely adorable works a lot of the time in our lives and this definitely is one of them. Don’t worry about dad’s fingers, I understand gentle.
Hope you have a day full of friends giving you treats, that’s one of our favorite days,
Love a satisfied,
Quigley and Annie

she said “it’s that time of the year again”

 

She told dad, he didn’t believe her. She told him again, and he laughed at her, saying it’s only March.

I didn’t understand, until he called her into the kitchen the next day and said those really bad words………Quigley’s got a tick. Now I’m not sure what I told you so means, but mom said it over and over and over again. It seemed a little bit of overkill if you ask me, cause it was just one little tick.

But mom had to hold my face while dad pulled it out. Oh she cooed and kissed me, told me what a good boy I am, and I even got a treat when it was all over. but---

Then they had to put the medicine on my neck, and I don’t like the smell, and it makes me sad, and I pout and fuss. And then for a full day I look sad, just like in my picture.

But not to worry, I am all better now. I’m happy and dancing around. And don’t have to think about ticks or that smelly medicine for one whole month.

So here’s to not being sad, and mom never having to say I told you so to dad ever again.

Love the tickless,

Quigley
