Rescuing Beanie Saving me

Beanie and Rhiley had to stay home with Joe yesterday. Well part of the day. I'm sure he let them out from time to time. But the wonderful thing is that when you are the one who is gone for a while, they can't get enough of you when you come home. Beanie smelled me all over to see if he could figure...

My friend Tony says that his dog, Casper is also having cabin fever. So we have planned a play date for Monday. The three will run and chase. They may fight over bones and magically Tony will come out with more. I will listen to all the stories he has from what internet shopping he has done lately,... Sign in to see full entry.

And so am I. They are so little, being in this cold can only be just for a little while. I finally found a food that Beanie likes. He was malnourished when I got him. They need more exercise than they are getting, but it is cold outside. Rhiley hurts when it is cold, just like I do. He can feel it... Sign in to see full entry.

Beanie has become family to us very quickly. The one that cannot be found in the snow. The one that hides Rhiley's bones in the garden.

Beanie and Rhiley were not at all happy about being refined to the living room while workers were in and out. Some they wanted to make friends with and others they just didn't plain like.

He loved to be chased and he was "is" a bullet. Being chased his favorite thing to do. The wind in his face... Sign in to see full entry.

Was looking forward to the second visit. My son and his girlfriend were coming over for dinner. Wasn't sure what Beanie would do. Well they showed up at the door and both dogs went crazy. Rhiley because his human brother was coming in and Beanie because he was Very frightened about others in the... Sign in to see full entry.

We adopted Beanie just after the new year. He love to take toys into the courtyard and bury or leave them. Kinda like a homeless person protects their bags or shopping carts. Then, then, what is that? It was a stuffed bunny Rhiley had gotten for Christmas. It had several sqeekers and was about his... Sign in to see full entry.

A visitor to our home had to be someone that I knew would tolerate the explosion that was sure to happen. I invited my son and his girlfriend. Rules: Ignore Beanie, pay much attention to Rhiley and wait. Well Beanie barked at them for about an hour. RELENTLESSLY Just turned the volume up on the... Sign in to see full entry.
