Time flies by...when you are busy!

Some say time goes faster the older we get…well that is proving true! Here we are in the middle of February and tax time is right around the corner.

Where has it gone?

Christmas and New Year’s flew by as we adjusted to our new family member, a lovely little Shih Tzu named Noel, we picked her up on Christmas Eve. Noel was part of a litter of four, three females and one male.

Bobbie couldn’t get the beautiful little male out of her mind (she’d even given him a name…Rowdy) …so finally after three weeks I said call and see if he is still available (thinking I was safe…he was already spoken for and found a home) we would go get him. Well….

You guessed it…he was still available and the deal was struck.

So home we went with Rowdy and added him to our already busy life. Rowdy and Noel enjoy each other immensely, playing, chasing, fighting, eating and sleeping together.  Although brother and sister, they each are uniquely different…showing new and hilarious traits daily.

Noel was meant for Bobbie…her Christmas request and present, however, once Rowdy arrived she was a bit put out (to put it mildly) with the new arrival and began coming up to my office (she was the first to learn to climb the stairs) and hanging out.

If I am busy she wants up on my desk and naps while I am on the computer.

Rowdy is “Mama’s” boy…bigger by a pound he hangs close to Bobbie, occasionally coming up to my office (yes it didn’t take him long to learn to climb). He is also the more trainable, Noel being somewhat independent (did I say “somewhat”). For instance Rowdy quickly learned to ring the bells on the patio door to signal he needed out…Noel stands back and lets him do the work.

While Rowdy is a pound larger than Noel, she can “bowl” him over as they madly run around the house and yard…no push over that little girl!

You are probably getting the idea that we are madly in love with these two precious little dogs…taking pictures, making movies and writing blogs….and that’s why the days are flying by.

We really need to get a life!
