Dogs

Here are our girls!  They are finally getting comfortable with one another and have found their perspective spots in the house, for the most part! 

Kaitlin (the red one) is a maniac and difficult to get a good picture, but she's endearing and quickly grows on you. 

Dixie (the big one) seems to just love the snow and is figuring out the two little ones   I am, of course, trying to be sensitive to her feelings given that she's so used to it just being us two.  I am not doing a good job of getting her out for her walks but am vowing to do better. 

Paige (the black and tan one) is our old girl (6 years) and she's the most laid back dog I have ever been around.  So so sweet and affectionate.  I, the evil step-mother, came in and moved her bed, a pompizon (?) chair, to the back bedroom...  I don't think she was too phased but I still feel bad!   She's taken over a particular corner on one of the couches though and seems to have forgiven me because she will lay in my lap for hours on end if I let her. 

They had a bid Christmas and have successfully destroyed all their new toys.  K and I took them all for a walk yesterday, for the first time, to the nearby walking trail.  It was beautifully snow-covered, and a bright, clear day... of course I forgot the camera.  Paige and Dix did great off the leash, which allowed us to make Kaitlin's leash triple long... I can't explain how crazy she is trying to walk her.  Long story short, she inadvertently got loose and K had to chase her into the neighborhood next to the trail and probably for about two blocks, at least.  He said she'd turn and look at him and then take off again.  Finally, she paused at a door where there was apparently a dog inside and he was able to get her.  Needless to say Kaitlin has a lot to learn and  won't get to go on any walks with Paige, Dix and I anytime soon!
