Our Very Own Houdini

Snickers our "growing puppy" is a very energetic dog. She LOVES attention! We had her on a dog run in the back yard but when anyone walked into the backyard she would go nuts. She pulled so hard on the dog run it seemed like she was choking herself with her collar. She finally broke her collar. Then I got her a harness so she wouldn't choke herself. Well, she figured out how to slip out of the harness no matter how we adjusted it. So the next alternative was this fenced area for her to have her own space. So far it has been working out great. The kids can play outside and we don't have to worry about the dog getting loose.

Now...we have a cat too. Well the cat is not ours. Although the cat has made our home her home. We are not sure where the cat came from. As you can see the girls love her. The cat is very sweet. She seems to love children which may be the reason she won't leave our house. The girls have named her Pearl. The cat has been here for a week. I haven't fed her because I didn't want her sticking around but it looks like I better go shopping...she does not seem to be leaving anytime soon.

  1. Hi Amy!
    Wow, you guys look like you're doing great! I can't believe how much everyone has grown. My kids would be jealous of your pets. Brennan is allergic so no pets for this household. :) Love the blog aren't these fun?

  2. I have heard and read a lot about those huge garage sales. Many people travel all the way from CA to drive the full 600 miles just to say they've done it!! Looks like a great day and strawberries as a bonus!

    P.S. - Buy the cat food - that cat is never leaving!
