two of my pals


We arrived to our friend's home, one day before the movers were to arrive, with almost nothing packed. So their daughter, Bill, and I worked feverishly at boxing things up. (They own three households-worth of kitchen stuff alone!)

When the movers arrived, we shut their husky-corgi mix dog along with two of their daughter's chihuahuas in a back bedroom (she had two with her and two more at home -- all have sweet personalities!). Then, when they needed to work in that bedroom, I kept Maggie, Baby, and Lucie-Loo on leashes in an out-of-the-way spot. All three determined to be lap puppies, with Baby attempting to be "King of the hill" by climbing above the rest!

Poor Maggie is showing a bit of stress as her owners face various stages of dementia. She loves them dearly and is very protective of them; it's confusing for her to see them scream at each other. Where are the caring, loving people she knows?

  3. Poor, sweet girl, Maggie. All the changes in her people and environment must be very traumatic for her. I hope she is safe, despite upsetting symptoms dementia is causing in her loved ones. And how cute is Baby? This is such a touching spread, Vicky.

  4. We just heard today that our friends are settling in and busy having posts set for a fence around their new yard . . . for Maggie to run in. She'll be happy exploring her new neighborhood. And Baby and the other 3 Chihuahuas live just across from her back yard so she already has friends near by.
    All in all, we're thankful for how things are working out.
