The Dog Who Came to Dinner…

Yes, Jenna came for a one-night sleepover on April 1st and hasn’t left.  I don’t know why we haven’t done the paperwork yet to make it official — at this point, if she left it would break all our hearts, including hers.  We even got her a tag on Tuesday with her name and our address and phone number.  Heck, I’ve even added stuff for her to the Amazon wish list! 

It’s really cool to see her different relationship with each one of us.  Thing One reads Bible stories to her every morning before school, plays with her after school, and brushes her.  Thing Two tries to see how close she can get her nose to Jenna’s before Jenna starts licking her all over her face (euw!).  Hubby takes her out for a walk most evenings, tucks her in at night, and Jenna goes nuts when he comes home from work.  They all play “bone” with her, also known as tug-o-war with her red rubber Kong bone.  Funny how since I stopped playing “bone” with her, my back hasn’t been hurting as much….Me, I’m the food source, the one who takes her out to potty, sometimes walks her, plays ball, and pets her a lot. 

Now, if we could just find a new collar for her that we can all agree on.

Oh, and I’ll be glad when she’s done with her warm weather shedding.  Blech! 

FYI, you can see pictures of Jenna’s first bath here on Hubby’s blog.
