Stinker Girl

I guess I need to snap some new pictures of Angel, as I didn't have any to add to my post today! I'm slipping, I know! Angel is very very attached to me...very. So she's not very happy when I leave for awhile. Today she let me know it, because when I got home from my hair appointment, she had eaten my container of Icebreaker Sours. Sour candy, really?? Usually she just drags my slippers into the living room and chews on the laces, doing no real harm. But lately she has been a little naughtier! The other day when we all went to lunch, we came home to a chewed up paper towel roll in the powder room. Sometimes I will forget something and have to run back in the house, and I've caught her already looking for trouble! Before I even leave the garage! Such a stinker. I tell her all the time, "you're lucky you're so stinkin' cute!" I just can't bring myself to even scold her! In fact, no one has scolded her....for almost 6 months! I'm sure the kids wish that would work for them too! :) And speaking of "6 months", in a couple of days, that's how long we've had her! On October 29th, we will celebrate her second birthday! Every year we do a small family Halloween party, so this year, it will be a combined birthday party for Angel. The theme? Well, dogs, of course! I'll be sure to post pics of that.

"I think she loves me"

Angel absolutely loves it when daddy gets home from work. In fact, she loves it when he gets back home from anywhere! She waits for him to sit down, then climbs right up his belly just to wash his face in kisses. One day when he was resting on the bed, she climbed up there and sat right on him. She looked over with those beautiful "milk dud" eyes and slurped him right on the face. Steve looked up at me with a big smile on his face and said simply, " I think she loves me." Yeah, she does....and he's pretty in love with her too! It's hard to even remember what it was like when she first got here almost 6 months ago, when she wouldn't come near him for 5 weeks! We're making progress, for sure!

Always Waiting

Angel is so funny...whenever I go outside without her, she scrambles around to each window, trying to find me! This picture is a little confusing, but it was actually taken from the outside! She was on the back of the chair looking for me in the backyard. Crazy dog!

If you look real closely, you can see Angel's little face in the sidelight! She doesn't miss a beat.

Angel often puts herself in precarious positions just to make sure she's close by at all times. She actually had to be rescued from the bar stool because she got stuck in there!

Poor girl. Always waiting for me to come back, even if I'm just out feeding the birds or shaking the rugs. She's such a loyal little scout!

Bubble Bath

Angel survived her bath! And her crazy haircut from her amateur groomer mommy...This dog does NOT like her bath much at all. She's pretty tolerant, but did try to climb out of the sink many times. This leaves her dad and I pretty soaked and tired before it's all done. Then she does her crazy running all through the house, looking like a wet rat!

This is Angel's favorite part of her bath...cuddling with mama, wrapped up in a blanket! She is now soft, fluffy, and sweet-smelling again....yay!
