Yesterday we introduced the pup from next door. Those pictures were taken when the kids from next door were at school. Over the pandemic, the kids and I have become good friends. Tere is 10 year old J, 8 year old M, and my special boy, who is not pictured, almost 5 year old D. D and I are very good friends, but I love the girls too. Sometimes I see the girls at the bus stop in the morning and often they stop by on their walk home if we are out.

D loves me sooooo much that when his family was starting to look for a new dog, their 13 year old Diesel, who we never met as he did not like other dogs, unfortunately went to the bridge earlier this year. D told his parents he wanted a big orange dog like me! So while the rest of the family may have wanted a blue coloured dog, he is very excited that Callie is orange.
I am very lucky to have kids who love me. Hailey is doing ok with them too. She always has to bark when she first sees them, but the kids are use to it and aren't scared. Then she lets them pet her. She just doesn't love them like I do but she does like them.
We are lucky to have neighbourhood kids!
oooh that is super sweet... so callie is quasi a mini phod in honor of you... pawfect!!!
ReplyDeletePhod, your blog is very educational. When we all met Callie, we were told she was a "blue heeler" even though she appeared to be orange and white. I had to google "blue heeler" to find out more. Looking forward to more stories.

ReplyDeleteWell,Phod, of course I know about the Blue Heeler - it being an Aussie and all. I think you and Hailey are very blessed to be making furiends with one and to have mini-hyoomans to play with is and absolute bonus, I'd say!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
What fun, kids-n-dogs usually go together likes ice cream-n-cookies! So enjoy one another!
ReplyDeleteWe wish we had neighborhood kids to play with. It looks like you are having fun with them.
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky, Phod. I hardly ever see kids.
ReplyDeletewhat a PHOD story this is! love it that you have your own kids to love...you have the best of both worlds, kids that you can play with but when you are done they go home. ha ha
ReplyDeleteI miss my favorite miniature humans. I've only seen them a few times since this covid thing came along. Glad you have some friends to play with!
ReplyDeletePhod you are 187% likeable and adorable and I know those kiddos are learning lots from you that they will apply toward raising Callie.
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
How pawsome to have a neighborhood kids to play with!
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE kids, all kids. But Mom always makes them ask their parents first if it is OK to pet us. We bet your kids are a lot of fun, Phod. And Hailey will grow to love them too. Have lots of fun with the kids and Callie.

They sound like great kids, Phod.
ReplyDeletePhod - It is great to have Kids who love you and give you special attention. I am very proud that Hailey is doing well with the kids. She has matured into a calmer more tolerant soul. You are a very, very good influence.
ReplyDeleteSweet neighbor little people are fun to live nearby-they come by, play, pet you and then go home and let you rest up. Sounds like a perfect relationship.
ReplyDeleteYour fur-iends,
Norman & Elsa (who's a bit like your sis-fur) 🐾
Hi friend Phod! Ojo here! You are soooo lucky! I wish I had kids! And it looks like they know how to operate the thing that make Precious fly so fast and far!
