February is for the dogs.....

This month has really been all about the dogs.... Maika and Aleusha have been with us all month, and we even had Askie for a weekend too!

Askie and the girls don't really get along, so while Askie was here, Troy and the girls headed over to Colleen's for a couple days. Haha! I am sure they had a great time over there because Troy let's them sleep on the bed. :) They are both such energetic and sweet dogs. They are cuddly and just like to be near us. Such sweeties!They got these toys for Christmas 2 years ago... Can't believe they haven't been ripped apart yet. Askie definitely destroys stuffed things more quickly than the girls do.
This is typical... Maika inside and Aleusha outside in the cold... she loves it out there! Askie is turning 14 next month (March 17th) and he still has his moments of puppy-like energy, but overall he moves pretty slowly and sleeps a lot. He has some health issues that mean he probably won't be with us much longer, but for now he still happy, loving, tender and sweet. He still gets very excited to go on a walk, despite the fact that we can't go very far because of his hips. He still loves the snow and the cold too. He only managed to get on the beanbag once during his stay (it's a little too high for him now) but he slept there happily for several hours. And he even still likes to take naps on my feet (he's done this since he was a puppy)... always thought it was his way of keeping me from moving. :) (Maika sleeps on my feet quite often too.)
I miss him everyday that I don't get to see him.
Anyway.... I have been vacuuming constantly, but they are all a ton of fun of course. :)
