It's Quigley Time

I am so excited. Mom is leaving shortly to go get my "Quigley". I still haven't figured out what the heck it is. Mom said she won't be back until late afternoon so I'm thinking she is going to the North Pole and get my Quigley directly from Santa.

It must be something really special. Mom took a day of vacation today to go get the "Quigley". Mom was very glad to see when she woke up this morning that the weather is cooperating. If she had to postpone picking it up today I think I'd bust.

So Mom told me to take a nap today so I'd be all rested before the "Quigley" gets here.

The excitement mounts.

The Quigley Is Coming Soon

So Mom gave me more hints about this Quigley thing she is getting me for Christmas.

1. It's cuter than a bug's ear. Okay I've seen a lot of bugs ears and they are gross. So anything could be cuter than a bugs ears. That's not a lot of help Mom.

2. It's smaller than a breadbox but you can put bread in it and it will dissapear. Maybe it's a magic box. I could become a magician.

3. She said when I look at the Quigley I might think I'm looking at a mirror. This has me stumped. We have a huge bathroom mirror that goes all the way down to the floor. I try not to look at it because I am so pretty I might get the big head.

4. I will either love it or it will drive me crazy.

What the heck could it be. Mom say's I'll find out in a week. Oh Mom also told me to get lots of rest now because when the Quigley gets here I'll get really tired out.

Four Weeks and Counting

I've been at my new home for 4 weeks and a day. So Raffles and Callie sent me a message last night. They told me not to worry, Mommy is keeping me furever. Mommy has been home with me for two whole days straight. I love it, but I will probably have to take another nap soon. That woman is like an energized bunny, she wears me out. Yesterday she took Malika and I for a long walk and then we worked out in the yard for 2 hours. It was a good thing we did because it snowed last night and it would not have been fun cleaning up the yard in that. My little toes would have gotten cold. Now she's working on making no sew blankets. She's always into something.

Mommy said I am so good for her. She was thinking about seeing a health counselor for her stress, but now that I'm here, she said she doesn't need one. I have a very calming effect on Mommy. I need her and she needs me. It's wonderful.

Mommy tells me that she is getting me something for Christmas that I'm really going to love. She said it's a Quigley. What the heck is a Quigley. She gave me a few hints. She said it would keep me from being bored when she's not home, is smaller than me but will get bigger with time. What the heck is it? I'm stumped. She said I'd have to wait and see, but would give me another clue soon. Raffles and Callie know but they're keeping quiet, no help from above.

Oops gotta go. Time for another nap.

I've Had the Best Week

Well you won't believe what happened. My brother Elvis contacted me. He and I were adopted after Hurricane Katrina to a couple. Yes we're Priscilla and Elvis. Mom doesn't know the whole story yet, but the owners of Elvis saw my little face and knew they had found Elvis' sister. I was so excited. I hope we can keep in touch.

I've snotted a couple of times at Maleka this week, but she's been very patient with me. It's been brr city out there so we've missed some of our walks until Mom can find a way to keep my little legs warm. She has a plan, and hopes to implement it this weekend.

It's been almost 3 weeks. I'm fitting right in.

Oops gotta go - time for sleepy.

I'm Fitting Right In

I've been at my furever home for a whole week. Mommy & Daddy adore me and Maleka and I are going for walks every day and getting to know each other. When Maleka comes in the house, Mommy just has to remind me of my manners and I'm doing very well.

Mommy can't believe what a well mannered, sweet girl I am. I hardly every bark. I don't try to run out the door when it's opened. I'm snuggly and very intelligent. Monday was my first day at home alone. I was perfect. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me.

I have a problem with other dogs I don't know but Mommy says we will work on that.

Mom bought me warm comfy coats to wear because man has it gotten cold. It's under 30 today. Brrrrr! Mom cut our walk short yesterday because of the cold and wind. Maleka was not happy. She has such a big fur coat, she didn't understand why we had to go back after 1 block.

I have two windows to watch the world while Mommy is at work. One overlooks the back yard. You should see the squirrel family out there. Mommy feeds them up on Maleka's kennel roof. When she lets me outside I try to capture them. They were very surprised to see me and how fast I could move. They've gotten used to Maleka. They could practially run over her paws and she wouldn't move. She's outside during the day in her kennel and the squirrel and birds are always around. The birds drink and take baths out of her water bowl. They're used to her. Now they have me to deal with. Look out squirrelies.

The people that Mommy works with asked her why she had that light back in her eyes again. She showed them my photo and they understood immediately.

I really like it here and I feel very content. Uh oh, gotta run, I think Mom wants to give me another back rub.

Priscilla Is In The House

Hi - My name is Priscilla. I'm five years young. I've led quite the life already. I and another Boston were rescued from Hurricane Katrina when I was one and lived with a great family. Unfortunately our parents got divorced and I went with my Dad and my brother Elvis went to live with my Mom. Circumstances forced my Dad to move into a place that wouldn't allow dogs, so Dad found me a wonderful family to take care of me. I had been there a month, but their landlord wouldn't allow them to have more than 2 dogs and I made 3. That family found me a new Mommy and I went home with her yesterday. I now live in Northeast Minneapolis. I have a huge fenced in backyard. I explored every nook and cranny of the house and I think I will like it here. I have a Mommy and a Daddy and a Husky sister (Maleka) and a cat brother (Chewtoy). Maleka and Callie are not thrilled with me moving in, but my charm will win them over. It's a big change for all of us and will just take some time to adjust.

I have my own kennel, a huge kitchen cushion to watch my new Mommy on and comfy furniture and laps to sit on. Mommy told me all about Callie and Raffles up at the Bridge so I know I have huge paws to fill, but I'm up to the challenge.

Mommy said this is my furever home. Life is Good.
