A Boy and His Bowl

What boy does not like to eat?





Thibby is an "Excellent" eater!!

Not only does Thibby love his supper...

he loves his bowl!!!

When his favorite part of the day is done

that boy will carry his bowl around...

then come bedtime you can bet it won't be too far away!


Sweet Dreams Buddy!

Oh, My it’s October….

The last time we had time  to sit and write…

of the Thibbsters baby pictures

April comes

With May the temps start to rise

A nap in the A/C with Miss Bobo

As spring turned into summer the days became hotter and hotter

and harder to handle…

Both outdoor loving pups became A/C hounds.

Around the end of August

we started our move back home to the farm in Alabama…

Life at home is VERY

exciting and a lot of work for a young boy!

IMG_0636

By the end of the day it’s hard to hold your head up your so tired!

(Thibby falls asleep with his head “propped” on Daddy’s chair)

IMG_0709IMG_0713

With the move many activities took place like house renovations which caused all types of excitement…IMG_0768

Then right in the middle of it all

Miss Chloe

had to under go

ACL surgery…

IMG_0912IMG_0913

She stayed with Dr. Mooring for a week then it was only leash walking for 3 more weeks…

At first, having to stay in the house was ,

in Chloe’s mind,

just absolutely awful…

IMG_0920

(She has always loved outside)

IMG_0921

Then we thought of the baby gate so she could be outside watching over her domain from the porch!

With the baby gate up,

Chloe on the porch and Thibby in the yard…

She directed “traffic”.

The least little “woof” from her

Thibby would jump to attention in order to see if something needed

“Run off”…

They make quite a team!

 

Then Chloe finally got her first day off the leash in the yard!!!

IMG_1177

Thibby was Sooo excited!!!

He had been wanting to

PLAY

with his big sister so much!

 

IMG_1178IMG_1185IMG_1194IMG_1204IMG_1214

 

Starting out a little slow and easing into it

she walked around the yard…

Then Miss Chloe took a rest…

Till the UPS truck pulled up

then she is out

to the

fence in no time flat, 

fussing and sending up a warning

just like old times!!!

We will stop here for now…

Thibby seems to think it’s a good time for petting…

IMG_1360

We’ll see ya later

it’s time for my Daddy

to give me some

Good Pettin’…

IMG_1351

Oooh, yea I like a good

IMG_1352

rubbin behind the ears!!!

IMG_1355

Daddy, don’t quit

 

IMG_1366

 

You can watch football later, Daddy…

Keep on pettin’ me now!!!

You sure you’re done???

O.K. ……

Momma,…  it’s your Turn to Pet

THIBBY!!!

She loved her big “brother”

Boudreaux

He was a good big brother and taught her well.

 

She mourned his passing as hard as we did.

Early that summer we were sent to New Hampshire

and Chloe got to walk on the beach for the first time.

She showed him a lot of things,

how to walk the fence line,

how to keep the pond free of Great Blue Herons, the yard free of turkeys and

the beach…

Thibby taught her

“head sitting”

and the meaning of the word  patience…

6 03 09 yard woods 003b

She had a heart to heart with her little big sister,

and was reminded of how

Boudy had shown an enormous amount of patience with her…

and given half a chance

Thibby could turn into a really good little brother, too.

He too is older now & she still watches out for him as if he were her “little” buddy.

Happy Birthday Chloe!

We love you Princess!
