Tippy and Luke

We did not go all out and wrap presents for the babies at Christmas. I did however buy them a toy box. I hate clutter. I know, I better get used to it. The play room needed a little something more. What I have found is that the dogs also needed the toy box. Where else are they going to relax and have the best view of the sidewalk in front of the house. Afterall, it is their job to bark at anyone and anything that comes near our property. Funny thing is both fatty’s sit on it together!


Other than watching out the window, when we are patient enough to open the blind, the dogs pretty much do what they do best… sleep. Tippy continues to be his anxious self and has to be in everyone’s business. If there is something dropped on the ground, we quickly call for clean up in the kitchen. The dogs are starting to understand this phrase as much as they understand outside.



I was asked if I love them as much as I used to and I do. They certainly do not get as much attention as they used to, but they are starting to learn that the babies are messy eaters and I think that replaces any attention they have lost. Both dogs have been very good with the babies. If a baby tries to pet them, they usually just get up and move. Occassionally they get excited when someone new enters the house and forget to watch where they are stepping, but they have not done any damage. We have even considered letting Tippy babysit the whole clan, I mean he is 84 years old!
