Gone to the dogs

 As most everyone knows, I love dogs and so does Far Guy. After our last Chance to have a dog, we enjoy other people’s dogs. 

This dog of course. Sadie who we helped spoil rotten when she was a puppy. We helped potty train her and eventually taught her to use the doggie door. She listens to us quite well. Last night I found a pool toy that gave me an advantage…and she swam after it many times until she was tired. Jen and Andy either take her for a W (walk) every night or throw pool toys for her.  Sadie and I went to dog obedience school one Winter.

Grandson Noah had to work a twelve hour shift on Tuesday so he asked if his dogs could visit for the day. We said sure. 

This is Aurora she is a one person dog but tolerates us. She likes to be pet on her own terms. She has been here often enough that she knows how to use the doggie door. She is almost smiling at me in the photo!

Then there is this dog.

This is Noble. She was a rescue. She is part Blue Heeler…then possibly Chihuahua or Mini Pinscher. I am leaning toward the Mini Pin because she is assertive, out going, happy and extremely friendly. She was an absolute joy to dog sit. I think she likes men better than women because she wanted to be right next to Far Guy although she spent some time on my lap too. Noble is about a year old. I think she would excel in dog obedience classes. 

Noble and Sadie have hopefully worked the Alpha dog thing out…the winner is Sadie. Sadie is not aggressive but just forward enough that Noble finally submitted to her. Yeah Sadie!

No we are not getting a dog, it is just not possible at this time in our lives. However we do miss the companionship.

25 plus one day

 Noah was 25 years old yesterday, I must have been off in la la land, or forgetful city. 

Anyways our oldest Grand Noah is now 25 years old plus one day.  We celebrated with him last week, we went out to his favorite Mexican Place!  We had a good visit and he talked about his work and a very scary project that he thought was the best thing ever...I believe he said he was up 360 feet in the air and he would do it again!  He is happy with his job and is looking to buy a house.

Happy Birthday Noah, I hope you had the best day ever! We are so proud of you!  Love you always and forever!

Aurora

 Noah's dog is named Aurora.  She is a Shiba Inu a Japanese hunting dog.  She is a little stubborn and stand offish sometimes.  She does not like to be petted as much as Sadie.   She and Sadie get along okay until Aurora gets crabby. 

She has a foxy face. 

Noah is moving to a new place next week.  It is not fenced so he and Aurora will get some one on one time on the leash outdoors.
