Some of you may remember that we had a terrible time in the summer, losing some of our beloved canine babies over a very short period of time.
We've snuggled up in an evening with Honey and Gary
Lovely as that is (and it really is), we felt something was missing. Though no dog can replace another, we felt we needed some more noise in the house.
So here's Alfie... another Chihuahua
and Imogen's baby, Penni... a Lhaso Apso
Yes, this is a very dog heavy post, full of pics of our new babies
The house is noisy again, there are mad races around the house, and it's a fight to get a comfy seat. There are times when for example a new rug was peed on twice within the first 5 minutes of it being in the house (if you aren't a dog lover, I'm sure you'll be wrinkling your nose by now) that causes big sighs of frustration, but they're babies and are worth it (have to remind hubby of this sometimes when his cleaning up).
Little did we know the house was going to get much noisier anyway...
Our parrot Phoebe, who was happily saying 'hello' to everyone, is now screeching out hubby's name at the top of her voice.
I thought this was quite amusing at first, so after Phoebe shouts out 'Andreeeeewwww" it's now followed by a small laugh, then 'c'mon good boy', which before you wonder, is not what I say to my poor husband, but the dogs... really!!
Take care

The new doggies look wonderful Cheryl and I bet they are even better than their lovely photos. Glad that you have some more noise in the house! So funny about the Phoebe, I heard years ago of a parrott who learned someones credit card number, but at least it couldn't use the internet to place orders, can you imagine that. Love the way that Phoebe has been copying you, I wonder what her next phrase will be!
ReplyDeleteThe are gorgeous, yes Phoebe seems to be copying lots right now xx
DeleteOh My Gosh Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOUR NEW BABIES!!!
And your parrot cracks me up!
One of my weenies is named Phoebe :)
I had forgotten you were also a Chihuahua mommy ~ how could I forget such a thing??!!!
Two of my babies are getting older so we are back to the peeing on the rug thing ... Oh well... they ARE worth it to me.
Have fun!

We looked after my son's weenie, she was gorgeous too xx
DeleteOH! I forgot to say how truly sorry I am to hear of your summer losses!
ReplyDeleteIt's always so devastating.
Enjoy your new little ones.
Danette
Thank you, it was a very hard time, and we'll always remember them xx
DeleteAnimal.. (and bird) noise around the house is wonderful! I'm very happy for you and adore all these pics! Thank you for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteThank you, does get a bit loud sometimes :) x
DeleteEeeee! Your doggies are so cute! I love little dogs like them. I'm so glad you're all enjoying each other's company. Too funny about Phoebe; my mother has a Macaw who screams my father's name and sounds just like my mother when he does it. :)
ReplyDeleteLol.. Phoebe sounds just like me when she shouts for Andrew :) x
DeleteSo lovely for you to have new babies Cheryl, I'm very happy for you and family. And how cute they are - we had a beautiful Lhasa Apso for almost sixteen years, and he was the most wonderful boy - a little human in fur - so Imogen can expect many years of love from Penni, and little Alfie is soooooo little and gorgeous. I wish you many years of fun and happiness with them, and isn't it great that Gary and Honey have accepted the new arrivals. Pity about the pee, but you get that don't you! I do hope the parrot quietens down, poor thing! You have a menagerie happening Cheryl - well done - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteJoy xo
My sister calls it a zoo, we do have a cat too :) x
DeleteHI Cheryl
ReplyDeleteOh thats so lovely - what exciting (if busy ! ) times.
I love that the parrot is getting so involved too, so funny.
We are still so enjoying my daughters new chihuahua puppy Minky. Hours of fun, and not much work getting done !

I adore Chihuahuas xx
DeleteSo wonderful to see your home full of frolicking little pups again! They are just sooooo yummy and cute! And I laughed out loud at your funny parrot, it's like something you'd see on a sitcom! Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteLol, it was funny, but poor hubby is fed up with his name being called out all the time xx
DeleteWe really would love a small dog but with 5 cats I'm not sure if it would be fair, they are all jealous of each other so I'm sure a dog wouldn't help.
ReplyDeleteI love your little doggies they are so, so sweet.

I think our cat has given up with 4 dogs, and is developing dog behaviours now :) x
DeleteHmmmmm, ok I believe you. Gorgeous little doggies with such smushy mushy little faces, I could just eat them up. It's heartbreaking losing our precious pets but these little ones will bring lots of smiles back in to your lives.
ReplyDeleteI do love them all so much :) xx
DeleteSo lovely to see a little animal action back in your lovely home and they are SOOOO cute!!! There is something special about having animals in the house and I know for us it always feels so weird if one of our pets aren't around. So happy for you that you have two new cuties on the block xoxo
ReplyDeleteAww so cute. I know you won't have favourites but little Penni is just soooo gorgeous! And your parrot really made me smile - can't wait to hear what she comes out with next :)
ReplyDeleteMy own chihuahua is called Phoebe like your parrot but spelt the Scandinavian way (Febe) . I love your pictures !
ReplyDeleteSounds like one happy home
ReplyDeleteJulie xxxxxxxx
I loved this post !! Good for you . The Chi reminds me of my little Gabby Girl , who looks a bit like a chi but is a Toy Russian Terrier ~Ruskey they call them :)
ReplyDeleteOh enjoy your new babies. We had an African grey years ago was an older guy they are such incredible, spot on , speakers aren't they .
6 dogs in my house, and I know exactly how you felt, and feel. Enjoy those babies :)
ReplyDeleteAw, they're all so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, good for you--how wonderful to have the sound of tiny feet running through the house again! :-)
ReplyDeleteThey're all so cute. What a lovely family xx
