Happy Birthday Chloe !!!

 

March 9th 2003

Bell’s Chlothilde Lagniappe

Chloe

10 weeks old and her first night at home…..

Chloe’s first pool…

Boudy teaches her to play..

 

Chloe is 5 months old…

@ 6 months old Boudreaux

is still teaching her to walk the fence line while guarding the yard…

 

 

Chloe turned two among the daffodils…

The Princess loves to smell the flowers…

just like any little girl!

She loved her big “brother”

Boudreaux

He was a good big brother and taught her well.

 

She mourned his passing as hard as we did.

Early that summer we were sent to New Hampshire

and Chloe got to walk on the beach for the first time.

Chloe is there to meet Michael when he first comes home…

She is such a calm and gentle pup,

just great with the little fellow!

Back in NH the brisk autumn winds and the “Beach Plums” ice cream found favor with Chloe.

December came with the first dustings of snow

and it was time to cut a Christmas tree…

Chloe's Koi Pond froze…

SOLID!

And when the snow began

it snowed and snowed and…

snowed

and snowed.

Chloe LOVED the COLD & the SNOW…

It was very hard to get her to come inside!

Then there’s the story of Chloe and Her lime sherbet…

(and Daddy thought it was his…., so why did he put it out side the door in the snow?)

The last day in February we took a van ride into Vermont…

Chloe LOVES to ride !

 

In March a Nor'easter

blew in

Cold, Windy, and Snow!

She was in hog heaven!

Then in May

Chloe got a little brother…

Which began a whole lot of play time…

She showed him a lot of things,

how to walk the fence line,

how to keep the pond free of Great Blue Herons, the yard free of turkeys and

the beach…

Thibby taught her

“head sitting”

and the meaning of the word  patience…

She had a heart to heart with her little big sister,

and was reminded of how

Boudy had shown an enormous amount of patience with her…

and given half a chance

Thibby could turn into a really good little brother, too.

He too is older now & she still watches out for him as if he were her “little” buddy.

Happy Birthday Chloe!

We love you Princess!

News From the Pups

 

The weather here in South Carolina

is a lot like that at home on the farm in North Alabama…

within a few degrees anyway,

so the last few days have been glorious!

Thibbs and I have really been enjoying a frisky romp in the yard

or a quiet nap on the deck !

The only “better” weather I can think of would be…

15 inches of snow blowing in on a

Nor’ Easter!!!

Now that we have discussed the weather ,

I will say we do hope everyone enjoyed a happy Thanksgiving!

Momma cooked quite a bit that day…

Thibby and I made it our dedicated duty to “guard”

the kitchen floor for anything that

might have slipped through her  fingers to find itself resting on the floor…

in order to “save” Momma from

the burden of even more drudgery

brought on by the retrieving of a broom and or mop…

out of the goodness of our hearts

We would clean it right up !!!

Yes, that turkey bit, or run away roll could be snatched right up

and disposed of in no time flat! 

We are among the best when it comes to

kitchen detail…

Even as young as Thibby is

he “took” right to the job of guarding the kitchen!

Christmas is just around the corner

and I began to noticing that

our Momma & Daddy were not doing their unusual yearly rituals…

No live tree brought inside the house

and adorned with this and that shiny bauble …

no Santa figurines, no stockings 

were being hung…

and to beat it all

the first time since last Christmas

the Santa Claus train and it’s track have actually been put up!!

Back in it’s own box…

!!!

Well, I knew Momma had been sick

but, all this was playing mighty heavily on my mind…

I truly was beginning to worry!

When the other night I overheard  them discussing

the move.

They were talking about a yard that is 5 acres big,

and all fenced in for

me and our boy Thibby!!

How it’s out in the country ,

and there is a pond…

Hmmmmm

(I foresee Thibby adventures…)

then this morning a stranger knocked on our front door and when Momma let him in they walked all around …

room by room he looked and made notes of all our stuff…

Soon we will be going to a new place to live while our Daddy works on the next project

and just between you and me…

from the way it sounds

I think Thibby and I are going to love it!!

Does anyone know if it ever snows in Southern Georgia?

It won’t be long till we talk to you again with pictures from our new country place!

Till then may all of you enjoy a nice brisk romp in your yard

or a cold breeze blown nap

in the sun!

Thibby Experiences Halloween

The other night Momma put a great big bowl on the table by the front door...

It was full of good smelling stuff...

But, each and every time she saw me peeking over into that bowl

(I'm pretty tall for a baby pup)

she'd tell me

"No Thibby, you don't need that."

Then about dark

our door bell began to ring...

it rang and rang and rang.

All kinds of funny looking little

creatures came up on our

porch...

Many of them

being carted to our house by the

wagons full !

They'd grin and squeal and

beg for treats.

Our Daddy would dig down in that bowl

putting big old hand full's of that

smelly stuff in their buckets !!!

At first...

I was very excited when the bell began to ring...

'cause I thought it might be the

Pizza Boy.

Our Pizza Boy always brings us a

little box of "cheesy bread" !

When it wasn't him I thought about barking...

however,

those funny little creatures kinda

smelled like our special

little fella.

So we just watched our Daddy

give them treats

(funny thing though, he didn't even make any of them "sit" or "lay down")

after awhile they quit coming and the door bell was quiet.

Daddy never ever asked us if

WE

wanted anything out of that bowl...

and I'd a sat and laid down for

him!

That's o.k. though...

'cause the very next mornin'

when no one was lookin'

I used my sneaky Geoffrey

(Giraffe)

lips and got me one of those little

bitty boxes of something...

called "Nerds"..

Hmmmmph !

Don't know what all the fuss was

about...

It didn't taste anything like

chicken, beef, liver, lamb

or even cheese !!!
