The General Returns!

Sorry everyone! Between major computer issues and all the hoopla of starting a new job, my blogging has lapsed considerably. The good news is that the dust has settled well from the job switch and my computer is back home after major repairs. There is plenty to update everyone on, especially our Christmas holiday, but I'll just do a quick post tonight to put a few pictures up.

By the way, my new nickname for Maeve is "The General", as she can bark orders out with the best of them.

Case in point...what is a bored toddler to do when her Mommy is taking too long in the shower??? Wait quietly? Not Maeve. Cry or throw a tantrum?? Oh No, not my Maeve. Wait patiently, while amusing herself with the many toys Mommy has left out for her??? What?! Are you living in Fantasy Land?!?

Not "The General"! When Mommy forgets her place in the pecking order and interferes with the stated order of the day (Eat, Park, Eat, Watch Einsteins, Eat, Play, etc.), "The General" quickly re-establishes order to the impending chaos! Stomping over to the bathroom door with every ounce of her 24 lbs in each step, her miniature Mary Jane shoes make an impressive squeak as she nears her objective. Then with a decisive swoosh, "The General" pulls back the shower curtain with one sweep, barking out in a surprisingly deep voice, "MOMMY! AAAH DON!!!!". Just in case the angry look is missed, "The General" pulls down the bath towel and throws that into the tub for good measure. (Seriously she did all of this!) Private Mommy is once again reminded of her rank within the household and order is restored.

Here she is calling Grandma & Grandpa to tell them all about it.














More news....
Smudge had 8 puppies!!!

Our friend, Doug, actually had three sets of litters including Smudges', for a total of 27 puppies. Maeve loved them all!

Here she is with Niki's puppies.








"The General" had a great time, until all the puppies decided she was a big puppy toy. :) Don't worry, prior to leaving she had re-established control of the situation. ;)
