Pretty in Pink

It's been awhile since I've taken any pictures of Chloe. Well, pictures that didn't include shenanigans in the backyard or that could be submitted to dogshaming.com.

Like these...

I love the look on her face here. This is totally one of those pictures that needs thought bubbles photoshopped in. (Yeah, I didn't do that obviously.)
The dog protruding out of our fence is Brutus, our neighbor doggie. I don't really know why our fences are built with holes in them, but I am glad Chloe isn't any smaller...she can't get her whole body through to the other side either.

As Brennan would say, "Silly Brutus." (...and another missed thought bubble opportunity.)

So back to Chloe's photo op. She just had to have some new PINK prettiness for her pictures. My opinion, not hers, of course.  Aww, doesn't she look like a little princess?

Ha, looks are definitely deceiving in her case!  Our current nicknames for her are Hog Dog, Grumpy Old Man, Scruffaluffagus, and The Lorax. Can pink polka dots counteract all that?

Besides the the beard and eyebrows making her look like a grumpy male Dr. Suess character; we've decided her goal each time she goes outside is to bring every bit of dirt and plant life from the backyard, back inside with her. And most days - she does a REALLY great job!

She's very much a tomboy, so I tried to girly her up.

Check out that new ID tag. Cute, right!? I love the pink and the little bow. I found it at the Etsy seller ModPaw'd. I am super happy with their service and the quality of the tag. They have lots of really neat designs. This one is called the Bella.

I love it. I've already decided when Chloe gets a new collar, I will order a new tag to match.

Coordinating collars and tags...I'll make her girly yet!

p.s. Just so you know, I did photoshop out our address on Chloe's tag, it is not a flaw in the stamping.

Chloe when we brought her home.



And here she is now.

Chloe

First of all, Happy October Everyone!  We have been putting up Halloween and Fall decorations the past couple days.  It's starting to feel festive around here!

We also have the excitement of a new puppy!  We picked up our new buddy over the weekend.  As you can see, she's already made herself right at home.


She absolutely loves Brennan!


Brennan's been sick since the evening we got home from picking her up.  He missed school yesterday, and he will be missing soccer tonight.  Right now he's laying on the couch with Chloe about ready to drift off to sleep.  Poor little guy.

Last night she slept the whole night.


Though, it was in our bed! : (


We're working on crate training her, but as of right now, she's not too fond of it.


We're also going through the great fun of potty training.  She's done pretty good until today.  It was raining all morning, and apparently she can't bring herself to pee out in the rain, but prefers to come back inside and use the carpet.  All I can say is she better get over her inclement weather issues fast considering we are going into frozen tundra season, and thank goodness we just got a carpet shampooer!

Have a great week!
