Happy 5th Birthday Angel!!

I can't believe it either...little Angel is already 5 years old! 

She has brought us so much joy and fun, and we celebrate her every day!! 

So today may be her birthday, but every day is special with Angel! 

Looking forward to many more years with this sweet fluffy girl! She has been a wonderful blessing in all of our lives! 

Bed Warmer

Angel loves to curl up on my side of the bed at night while I get ready for bed. 

When I came out of the bathroom, Serena had her all tucked in, and she was snoozing away peacefully. 

She had a rough day of barking and growling at strangers, I suppose. When I try to reclaim my bed, she just groans and turns over on her back for a belly rub. Such a rough life for a sweet Angel girl. :) 

Chipmunk Hunting 101

Angel just can't seem to get that sneaky chipmunk to come out of the woodpile, so Natalie tried to show her how to "hunt". Talk about a hilarious sight! 

Natalie kept running around to one side of the pile, and telling Angel to stay on the other side. Meanwhile, Natalie would make tapping noises to try to get the chipmunk to come out. Angel would start crying, thinking it was the chipmunk making the noises! She ran around that woodpile so many times, and at one point, the chipmunk escaped to another woodpile right under her nose and she missed it!! 

Even with Natalie's strategic hunting instruction, I'm afraid Angel is just meant to be cute. She's just not a hunter! 

It's a Dog's Life for Angel

A nice evening walk in the woods behind the house

A little snooze among the laundry before I could get it put away

She sure does have a rough life!! 

Angel: My Biggest Fan

Angel will sit in, on, or under pretty much anything, just to be near me. 

Honestly, I feel so honored to receive such devotion. She appears to be trapped in the base of the barstool, but she in fact, was free to move as she pleased! 

There are times I discourage her from her passionate fandom following of me, one of them being under the kitchen stove when I am cooking. She does "help with dishes" now and then, but since she dislikes baths, she doesn't like dish baths either! 

I'm not surprised at all that her breed is known both for an entertainment and a companion dog. She has definitely lived up to her description. 

And as my biggest fan, she makes sure to always warm my bed for me! Haha! 

Green Bean Angel

Angel loves green bean picking day! She gets so excited when she sees us get the basket out. She waits a little impatiently for one of us to toss her a green bean, then she runs after it, eats it, and happily comes back for more. She is quite a happy gardener! 

Hunter or Entertainer?

Will Angel ever catch that chirping chipmunk that runs back and forth from the grill to the pool pump? 

We're thinking not. But she sure likes to sit there and wait!! 

She's funny as can be, sitting there watching. The chipmunk outsmarts her every time, running from the grill, then doubling back after she runs after it. She has no idea where it is! 

Okay, so she's not a great hunter, but an entertainer?? She's the best!
