The Good Life

Miss Angel "helped" me put out the Fall display. She spent quite awhile barking at the scarecrows, but soon jumped up on the straw bales to check them out a bit closer!

Angel "helped" me decorate inside too....well, I guess she makes a pretty good decoration all on her own. She makes our home pretty cozy!

There's nothing like hanging out under a big maple, letting the leaves fall as they may. Yup, Angel's got a good life....and so do I!

5 Months and Counting!

Angel has been with us for 5 months as of yesterday! Though she is quite comfortable here and with her immediate family, we're not making much progress with others. That isn't much of a problem most of the time, but we're trying to plan holidays and other events, and I'm finding I'm always worried about Angel. In fact, we have to leave Angel for a week next year while Natalie has her back surgery. This means we need to find someone in our family that Angel can trust to stay with her. It's ironic that we had initially planned to adopt a puppy so that we could be able to board it if needed. We would never board Angel or have her stay with someone she's not familiar with. I don't ever want her to think she's leaving us or we're leaving her. It's just another one of those issues we need to work out, having sweet, but complicated Angel around! Today I gave her a haircut myself, knowing that she'd never be able to handle an outside groomer. Well, I'm not a dog groomer, shall we say....she looks cute, but a little lopsided in spots! Tomorrow is bath day and I can't wait. I can't say the same for her! She's not a fan of the bath at all. I put her in the kitchen sink and use the sprayer. When all is said and done, I am soaked and so is the kitchen! It's all worth it though, when I wrap her up in a towel and snuggle her awhile. She seems to like that part...and the treats afterwards too! Then she's all soft and smells like baby shampoo and everyone wants to hold her! I will try to get a photo of her bath day and post it soon. Thank you all for caring so much about Angel. I always tell her all her "aunties" are watching and she has lots of love. I would love to hear about her puppies too if anyone would like to share some pics or stories! :)

Autumn Angel

Angel just loves being outside, as do I, so it works out great for our afternoon walks! All the trees have changed and we are surrounded by beautiful colors. It is so relaxing to sit out with Angel and enjoy her company. She seems excited by the falling leaves, even chasing them once in awhile! I just love my Autumn Angel!!

Sweet Angel Girl

How I long for high-speed at home so I can share more fun stories about sweet Angel girl! We all just love her to pieces...more and more every day she is with us! She can get so crazy sometimes, like when I'm making the bed. I actually try to sneak in there to do it because she is such a stinker! She hears me snapping the sheets and comes running. She jumps on the bed, attacks the sheets I'm trying to straighten, growls at me in her pounce position, and bites my hands! It's actually pretty cute and entertaining unless I'm in a hurry, of course. I have to coax her out of the room to get the comforter on, then she attacks that too! I love her energy and the life she brings into our home!!

Here she is, ready for the first day of school! The girls love to put their bows in her hair, but Angel really doesn't like it much!

Hello? I could really use a belly rub! As usual, Angel keeps us laughing with all her antics. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

Couch Potato

Is she spoiled or what?? Angel just loves to hang out on the couch, all four feet in the air, snoozing away! She sleeps in bed with us much the same way. We can learn a lot about how to relax just by watching our pets!
