Two years ago today Mamie came to live with us.  (See that here.)

She was four years old and came in like a little whirlwind.  She has some treat aggression and a bad toy aggression problem.  But after a few months all that got worked out.

Now she runs our household.  She is the littlest one but every one “minds” her.

She is very demanding….especially when it comes to playing with her toys.  She loves to fetch.  And we love her so we “fetch” a lot!

So here’s to Mamie.  We are looking forward to many, many more good years with her.

Enjoy the many faces of Mamie as we celebrate her today!!!

We are wishing a Happy 1 year Anniversary today to Mamie.  It was one year ago that we adopted her.  She came in and immediately took over our life and hearts.  What a little sweetie.  Mamie with Boys 1 in Window

Jed’s Day

Jeffie EnhancedFour years ago this past week (January 5th) we made the cold trek (it was during a snow storm) to get our Jed.  He’s the sweetest boy.  So Happy Adoption Day Jed.  We’re so glad we are your people! 

Many of you know that I name my dogs using a presidential theme.  Jed was my first exception to the rule.  He is named for the fictional president, Jed Bartlett from the West Wing.  We loved that show and since he was already being called Jed and answered to it well we just went with it.

Read and see more about Jed here and see a step by step painting of Jed here!  Way to go Jedder Bean!  We love you big boy.

A Little Girl Arrives

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , on September 22, 2012| 2 Comments »

For several months now I have been expecting a little girl.  I told many friends about this and they always asked when.  I told them I would know when I met  her. 

Here she is.  This is Mamie Eisenhower Walker.  She arrived last Monday morning.  And while she has a few little habits we are working on she is doing just fine.  She’s 4 years old. 

She goes with us to the dog park and plays well with the other dogs.

 

 

Mamie has adapted to us all really well.  The hardest part for me is to not call her Rosie.  She looks just like Eleanor Roosevelt (Rosie), the little Cairn that we had several  years ago.  You can see her pics here.  We will post more photos of Mamie in the next few days as she works her way into the hearts of Lincoln and Jed.  🙂
