Can you believe---

 

She, mom that is, blames the fact that it is so hard to make her bed, on us. For some reason she wants to make it look neat and pretty.

Us, we just want to cuddle up on it and sleep. See all of the pillows and the soft comforter? What does she expect?

I mean really it is like a great big crate.  Nestled back in a little alcove. Soft and safe and we can see if anyone comes up the stairs.

This is me, Looking adorable. How can she make me leave this comfy, sweet bed? 

Oh well in the end she wins. She always makes us get off and always makes that big sweet bed of ours, I mean theirs………

Hope that your bed is soft and comfy like ours and that you can lay on it anytime you want.

Love Quigley and Annie, the comfort seekers

What the heck is going on in this house?

 

If only they’d check with us. We could tell them—don’t change anything. I swear once they start, they just can’t stop. Pulling up rugs that smell wonderful. Full of memories of us and other dogs that lived in our house before us.

We just barely finished making it perfect. And what do they do? While tearing up dad’s office they get a new rug for our living room. What were they thinking?

Just look at what they did to poor Quigley. The just doesn’t know what to do, where to go, or even more important, how to protect his big, beautiful nose.

Well it went on and on, to calm us they took us for a walk, and then for yesterday they were done. But I have a feeling, it’s not over yet.

But for now, as you can see calmness has settled in and even I am content.

But today is another day, and holy dog food, they are gonna start again.

Hope all your rooms stay the same and no one upsets the apple cart.

Love a very anxious, Annie and Quigley

It was a long hard day…..

 

Dad has an office upstairs. It’s full of books and computers and papers and all the stuff he needs .

Well yesterday he decided to clean his room out. Oh boy what a BIG  job that is. He worked and moved furniture, and threw away a ton of stuff.

We’re exhausted.

We had to run up and down the stairs a million times. We had to show him where to put the garbage on the back deck. And worry, oh my the worry. There was so much noise and droppings . and he’s not done yet.

So we are figuring it will be another long and noisy day today. This is the calm before the storm. But we’re strong, we’ll do all we have to do to make him a success.

Mom says we are the best dogs. I don’t think he could have done it without our help.

It’s a hard life, but we do it so well.

Love you all, hope your day is easy and bright. And all your offices clean and shiny.

Quigley and Annie

Sitting here waiting.

 

It just doesn’t seem fair. People come and people go. They visit and make us so happy. Then they leave. No one asks me what I want. No one understands just how sad it all is for a little girl like me. Oh yeah I act tough, I act strong, but I have feelings too you know.

So here I sit, waiting for someone special to come back.

Maybe it’s you.

Love the loyal and as you can see, most beautiful,

Annie

You just CAN’T sneak around in this house.

 

So I decided I needed to go bother brub a little bit this afternoon. I was really quiet, moved very slowly, just trying to get past dad. Who normally misses stuff like this when he is busy on the computer.

But today, for some reason, he caught me.

I tried looking away, to discourage his interest, but the man just wouldn’t give up. So this fun moment (or what was to be a fun moment) became a non issue.

So I just laid down and went to sleep.

What a party pooper he was.

Hope you get to instigate any fun you want today, and remember if you get caught, just look away…….

Love, I wasn’t doing anything,

Annie

This is what happens

 

The day after. The day after she’s gone. Left us to fend for ourselves. Left us with the mother and dad. Left us with way too much space.

Oh the sadness. Oh the grief. Oh when will she come back again. Auntie M, Auntie M. Please come back soon.

We miss you, Auntie M, we love you. And Quigley says he will try not to kiss your skin off the next time.

But I wouldn’t put money on it.

To all of our friends out there, we hope you’ve got an Auntie M that makes you so joyous.

Love, a tired and sad,

Annie and Quigley

They didn’t tell us…….

Oh my goodness. They didn’t tell us that something wonderful was happening today. Aunt Maria came. I just couldn’t control myself. It was amazing. One minute we were alone with mom and then the next--
oh jeeze we love this women. I lost my mind. I twirled and spinned. I jumped, I kissed and licked and then I kissed some more. She got a little mad at me when I tried to take her arm in my mouth and take her around. There is a lot she hasn’t seen lately. It’s been so long since she was here last.
Oh they tried, but they couldn’t get me to calm down. It took all day and I was still trying to let her know just how special she is to us.
Then Annie had to butt in and make me move. Mom said she had to have equal time with aunt Maria, but I just don’t know why. Just because she is smaller and can get closer without squashing Auntie M, well it’s just not fair.
She never stays long enough, or comes often enough, but for today we are thrilled.
We hope your Auntie M’s are always close and will let you lick them as much as you want.
Love a VERY happy Quigley and Annie
