Our sweet, exuberant three month old puppy is learning to be still.
To that I say Thank God. I was able to take pictures of him without him
squirming and wiggling like a two year old.
Bob, my brother-in-law says Shelley is like the tide he just keeps on coming. Bob's metaphor is right. However, Shelley is maturing and learning to be a companion. I am sick today with back and flank pain and he has been at my side and not chewing on my arm or leg or you get it...
We have had three pets in the house this weekend and it has not been boring. Bob and Sue have an older female dog named Tuesday. Our cat Clovis nearly clawed her eyes out. Tuesday had a rough weekend with a mean cat and a crazy puppy. We had many altercations.
This nine pound cat is in charge and does not suffer puppies or fools gladly.
Friday I cooked Pineapple Chicken for our small group from church and we ate casually on the deck. I served the meal on our massive bar. There were twelve people here.
We sat six at this improvised table. I had found an interesting table base at a garage sale and we put a piece of plywood on top of it. That worked just fine. Four more dined at the patio table and two were children who were on the chaise. We had a wonderful time. Two of the ladies had not been to the yellow house and I got to show them my flower garden and my thrifty treasures.
I do not forget that the best treasure of all is family,friends and health.

Oh, dear. You overdid. I prescribe complete wicker chair rest for two days, and lots of dog licks.
ReplyDeleteOh my - he is getting big - puppies grow even faster than children. So glad it was a good weekend!!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon, and LOVE that pup of yours, Puppy kisses are healing. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos...you must have had a wonderful time...
ReplyDeleteGood advise from your readers...time for a little R&R...
Hope you are better soon...
Cheers!

Your puppy is so pretty and so sorry about your back pain. Just try to relax.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I'm hurting physically, my furchild gets quiet and stays near me. They are smarter than most people and he is standing by.
ReplyDeleteI hope your back improves soon, too. Take care of yourself and get some rest over this holiday weekend! I love your beautiful outdoor space for entertaining! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your pain. I'm glad Shelley is growing up a little. The puppy stage is cute, but also a test of wills. At least we know Clovis has everything under control.
ReplyDeleteShelley is so handsome. My Franklin is getting better at sitting still especially after an afternoon outside. He comes inside and just collapses.
ReplyDeleteThe look on Clovis' face says it all. I hurt my back this afternoon, too bad we're not neighbors we could have a pajama party. take care, my girl!
ReplyDeleteYou have to love a puppy's exuberance and enthusiasm~ your photos are excellent of Shelley! I love that Clovis is large and in charge~ that expression is priceless :) Hope your back is better soon. Happy Memorial Day!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics of the pup! Sorry you're not feeling well, hope it passes quickly. Happy Memorial Day:@)
ReplyDeleteCute photo of Shelley. Thing is, at three months she IS a two-year old. And will be puppyish until she's probably two or three years old, before they really start to settle down. She's a beautiful pup. Hope she has lots of chew toys. Sure saves on the furniture and shoes. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry your back is out. I have some elbow pain that is driving me nuts cause I hate to just sit. Your pup is so adorable. I bet CC is in love.
ReplyDeleteOlive, Your dog is really looking like a german shepard. Pretty markings. Take care of yourself Olive. I know how unbearable that pain can be. Sometimes, my everything hurts.:):):) Gotta keep moving though. Smiles xo, Susie
ReplyDeleteShelley is such a cute puppy. It's nice that he is staying by your side while you are not feeling well. Please rest up and get better soon.
ReplyDeleteI've always said that good health is the MOST important thing. Without that nothing else matters! Hope you start feeling better soon. I felt ill last night too (ate too much) but all is well now. Love your back deck with the pergola. Wish we had one. It would really help keep the sun out. LOVE your dog pics! She is a beautiful dog! Glad she's getting calmer, for your sake.
ReplyDeletepoor Clovis..
ReplyDeleteThe pups ears are pointing upward now and big, so darn cute.
Hope you get to feeling better and can enjoy the weekend!
What a sweet pup! Hope you start feeling better- I know what it is to have an aching back.... not good. Take care, my friend!
ReplyDeleteShe is absolutely adorable! Your photos are so inspiring, too, makes me want to sign up for a class!
