Princess Buttercup Sally Jean

Introducing
Princess Buttercup Sally Jean

We picked up Sally Jean from the farm on Saturday morning.
I have no idea what day it is.
All I know is, I have a new baby in the house.

Jodie is sort of liking her.
Sally Jean is a British Cream Golden Retriever.
Meaning that she's lighter in color.

She's been keeping me very busy.
If I don't need to leave the house, I don't.

The cats are adjusting.
No more leisurely eating a can of food in the mornings.
That would mean visiting with the wee one.
Nope, they now think the bonus room is great.
How a few days can change things. lol

All in all it's going quite well.
Except for the sleep portion of this adventure.

If you don't hear from me,
I've been chewed and licked by a puppy 
and I can't make it to the keyboard.

Mondays With Meredith Ann

The Holiday Season is over.

Look what they did to me.

Bows on my furs.

I was not happy.

I did match my eyes to the lights of the tree though.

I'm just talented that way.

I helped Mom clean up all the mess.

The tree is gone.

The ornaments are back upstairs.

The Puppy has been here for a week.

We cats are staying upstairs

or looking at 'it' on the other side of the gates.

Maddy Jean and Jodie Belle are getting along.

Maddy likes to play with Jodie.

Jodie likes to chew the furs on Maddy's tail.

And that as I say is the report for this week.

Note From The Mom ~ The puppy is doing well.

The cats are coming down and watching her.

Some have tried to be in the same room.

Jumping over the gates very quickly to the other rooms.

No problems so far.

The floor needs to be fixed but who does that

when they know they're getting a new puppy.

I figure things to do when you're too old

to have anymore dogs.

Happy New Year !!!

Blue Eyed Beauty

Jodie Belle

I'm having my second cup of coffee this meowning.

Jodie is playing with a catnip toy.

She was chewing an old Harbor Freight Tools paper.

She is keeping me busy, tired, and thrilled.

Maddy Jean is getting used to her.

She waits in the yard for me to get

Jodie down the stairs.

(She hasn't managed going down them yet)

They play together and Maddy Jean

gets Jodie Belle to come back up

on the deck to come inside.

Last night they slept together.

Which means, I slept through the night.

I now can think of what I need to be doing.

That 'List' of mine.

With the Holidays over.

One child back to college.

Another one leaving in a day.

I now will start the cleaning

of the house.

We still have all our Holiday decorations up.

Been too busy to have time to take them down.

That will be my 'List' for this week.

Jodie is gated off to the kitchen/hallway areas.

She has her own bed and toys.

Maddy Jean stays with her most of the time.

Maddy does get annoyed with Jodie chewing

and jumping on her.

I remind her to be kind.

I think things will work out.

Youth and Old Age,

Do they mix ?

Til Next Time,

Fireworks

It's already 2012 in Sydney.

Was fun to see them go off this morning.

Only nine my time.

So, I have a bit of time left in 2011.

Hope you all have a Grand time celebrating.

We leave early tomorrow morning

to drive to get our new puppy.

I'll be busy for a few days

getting her oriented

and me adjusted

to be a Mom again.

(been almost eight years since I've had a puppy)

Til then,

Enjoy !!!
