Three Dogs and a Baby!

My day started around 4:30 a.m. Grandson is going back to Northern Oklahoma to work and will be gone overnight. I forgot to turn the alarm down and it woke BoBo up. :{ After daddy left he was ready to roll. I was ready to drop. Got hunny off to work at 6:00a.m. and tried to get him back to sleep. yea right!~ Like that's gonna happen. So we waited around and to take Ric to school at 8:00a.m.

Yep!~ Today is a three dog and baby day. Usually it is my two old dogs and baby. They sleep a lot so it is usually very quiet except for BoBo. LOL Everyone is without power from the storms. My son s helping clean trees and debris from a friends house. Daughter is sleeping at various places and her little dog, Dixie a Teacup Yorkie is here for a day of babysitting. She dropped Dixie off when I took Ric to school.

This is not a bad thing, but... Early in the day around 8:30 a.m. I put the our old black lab mix Ladybug in one bedroom and shut the door. I put Schnoodle our Schnoodle in the other back bedroom. Schnoodle is a silver, 12 year old, baby dog, that usually rules the roost. Today not so. LOL

I went to the bedroom and forgot to shut the door. A little later I guess he came in and got on his pillow under the table by my rocker. :{ I didn't know it until I heard him growling at little Dixie as she was attempting to get friendly and invade his space. She came running from behind my chair and I immediately led the Dog Boss down the hall and he went under the bed in the sewing room. Whew~ I shut the door. :P

Then BoBo decided to get excited about the little dog. He was pushing his black monster truck to and from the living room and kitchen, and screaming with glee. Little Dixie was running back and forth with him. It was total mayhem just from listening. I had to be very cautious not to trip in the melee'.

Around 9:30a.m. I decided it was time for both of them to have a snack. After snacks things started to settle down and BoBo let me know in his sweet little way it was time for a nap. I put him down and then settled Dixie into her carrier and she too napped.

I let LadyBug out and opened Schnoodle's door but he did not come out. He either had his feelings hurt or was napping. Lady went to the yard to prowl for a bit. I had peace at last.

I guess because he was up so early BoBo slept for four hours. Then the fun started. I got him changed and gave him juice. He wanted Dixie out of her carrier. WE loaded up and headed out to pic Ric up from school and it was getting close to 3:00p.m. Ten minutes down the road I realized I left my cell phone. We drove back to the house and I ran and grabbed it. Down the road we roared. Then it occurred to me I needed to check for messages. Sure enough, Ric had sent a message for me NOT to pick her up.

WE turned and headed forthe shoe store. We got BoBO a new pair of tennis shoes. We stopped back by Burger King and came home. It was no time til He was trying to feed Dixie thru the carrier door. He was sharing his chicken tenders. A NO NO for Dixie. He finished eating and while I was in the bathroom for a much needed facewashing, took his baby tools and tried to free her. It didn't take long for him to realize his tools would not do the job. He did manage to work one corner hinge loose. When I came back in the room he was trying to unlatch the side panels of the carrier. :{

WE freed Dixie and leashed her for the great outdoors. Schnoodle had been out and was now back in under the bed with the door shut as was Lady. WE took her out and she just sat there trembling as she is not familiar with a leash. We came back in and in less than two minutes she did her little leakie on my carpet. oh well...clean what u can and keep truckin'.

WE went out on the porch so he could play outside for a little while. She stood at the door wanting out. I did not dare let her loose. I could never chase her down and still keep track of BoBo. After five to ten minutes BOBo wanted his other truck. He has learned to open the door so in the house he went with her trailing him out of site. About that time I heard him say, "POOPOOO!" Dixie had perched in the doorway for her moment of glory.

Back in the house, using a paper towel, I banished her little trophy to the trash. The racing to and fro started again.

BoBo has his own little cabinet with a shelf for cookies and treats. He just got the box of vanilla wafers and tried to give Little Dixie a treat as I sit here regaling the cyber world owith their exploits. A vanilla wafer doesn't sound like a big deal. But, for a teacup yorkie with a stomach no bigger than a marble it is nothing short of a great feast. Once again I raced to grab. She ate maybe a forth of the wager. **sigh*

Sis will pick up Dixie at 5:30ish. Mommy just texted and will be here in about an hour. Yepo!~ 5:30ish! The countdown has begun!~

Ladybug keeps whinning at the bedroom door and Dixie is racing back and forth getting excited over that too. And so the saga goes raging on... In Mema World.
