More On The Maggie Visit

We were so proud of how well both the pups did with the Maggie invasion on the weekend. Hailey did bark at her several times a day. It clearly startled Maggie, but she handled it well. Maggie did her best to keep her distance from the dogs. Phod never barks, but is clearly a little jealous of the attention Maggie gets. He tried the sad eyes on us a lot. I think if she played with him more, he would be happier.

When it was time to go, Maggie got brave enough to pet Phod. Phod wasn't paying her any attention because he knew I had the being left behind cookies.

Maggie may have enjoyed petting Phod, but she didn't like the skeleton dog (or much else) we saw at the Halloween village we took her to. (Halloween is the Man's very favourite time of year).

We continue to hope with more time with Maggie, Hailey will become even better and better.

Happy Halloween

We told Lady she got one shot of each of us, even with cheese, that is all she got before we turned into weredogs and made her into a ghost.

This is what she got:

When the pressure is on, she can do it!

Happy Haunting! May your day be filled with treats! 

No Tricks Just Treats For Shelters

Today we are joining our wonderful friends Dory, Arty, Jakey and Bilbo for No Tricks Just Treats for Shelters. Be sure to pop over to their blog for wonderful ideas on how to help local shelters and make sure to leave a comment for their comment-a-thon!

We both did time in shelters. Hailey was taken from a shelter at about 3 weeks old and after Phod was found hitchhiking, he spent a couple weeks in one. We admit that after reading all the wonderful things our pals are doing for local shelters we need to do more. The most consistent thing we do is that every time Lady buys us supplies at PetSmart and they ask if she wants to make a donation, she does. This year they were doing a shelter food drive and she bought a bunch of food for the shelter. That is how we help. 

This is our 2015 picture - Lady was too busy with Maggie yesterday to get a 2016 year one yet

Thanks to Dory and the Boyz for organizing this great event! 

This Happened!

Our girl, who is generally terrified of small people, amazed us last night. Our niece Maggie is staying with us for the weekend. Yes, Lee barked at first, but within a few hours, this happened . . . .

Maggie was eating an orange, not a food Lee even likes. She just snuggled up next to her and was looking for pets! We were amazed (especially because our girl is 5 days off prozac). Let's hope the weekend continues to be so successful! 

Be sure to come back tomorrow as we are joining Dory and the Boyz for No Tricks Just Treats For Shelters. Be sure to visit them as they are having a comment-a-thon.

Also, a friendly reminder that Tuesday is the last day to get on the Christmas Card List. If you want on, please email us at leeandphodATbellDOTnet or give your info to Oreo and you will get on the list.

Finally, remember November 8th is Blogville election day. Zaphod is the election judge and all votes will be submitted at our blog. For all the details of voter rules etc. please click HERE. We will post all the rules on election day. Phod is going to be a strict judge. The polls are only open for 24 hours. To help everyone know when, Murphy and Stanley have created this wonderful poster. (We are testing moderated comments to keep everyone's votes a secret, so it will be on for a day or two now, then be off until after the votes are counted and deleted). If you have any questions about the election let us know.

Helping A Wonderful Cause

Lady has mentioned her new favourite charity here before, Safe Pet Ottawa. This charity provides foster homes for pets for women fleeing domestic abuse. On the weekend, Lady and Man went to the inaugural Safe Pet Masquerade Ball. Lady heard about this because one of her coworkers is a member of the Safe Pet Board.

We were left home alone for hours, in the wind. We were very good and the house was fine when our people came back.  We would like to be annoyed with them, but they brought home a basket of goodies for us. They bought it in the silent auction. We even got a treat right away, in the middle of the night.  That never happens.

The first wonderful treats, little cupcakes, with paper

While we don't like to be left alone, we are glad our people were able to help out such a wonderful cause.
