Christmas with Family Friends and Pets

As we enjoyed our day with family and friends, talking laughing eating and watching the games, I realized something was missing.....my "babies" my cat Whisper and my pup Miya Angel.  As the hours went by quickly, we soon start to say our goodbyes. When questioned why are you leaving so early, I had to tell them "my babies are at home and we've been out all day".  Their response: "What babies"? When I answered Whisper and Miya, they all smirked or gave me that look like, are you serious? Well, yes I am. See I'm not one of those pet owners that can just leave them home all day while I'm out enjoying myself. I feel bad enough when I leave them 8-12 hours a day to go to work. So when I'm off I try to be home with them as much as possible especially Miya who is kenneled when we're not home. My goal is to give her as much out time as she is in. Still not able to leave her alone, she's a small puppy! Can you imagine the mischief! So with that we gave our hugs and kisses good bye and of course one of them had to say it: "you and your animals" and I was like "yes that's me!  Anyone ever feel like this?

Buying a new toy for Miya Angel

Have you ever bought a new toy for the pup only to discover she likes the "old" one better? I experienced that today. I came home with a new fluffy toy and to my surprise when I said "lets play" she went looking for the old one.  She sniffed the new one and walked away from it. When she found "Oh No (Bill)" she brought it to me, ears up as to say "lets play"! So I had to distract her, take up Bill and proceed to play with her with the new one (no name as of yet). She pick it up a couple times but kept dropping it to "search" for Oh No! Bill.  I found this amazing! So I showed her Oh No! Bill and she got all excited! Well the plan is to take Oh No! Bill and put him to rest (for a little while anyway, he needs much repair-torn left arm) and leave the new teddy out for her tomorrow and she'll start fresh! Yeah, that's how we'll get her to forget him. Any suggestions?

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to all our wonderful furry friends!
