Sushi's first week

We have a baby in the house


This little guy has so much personality
not to mention the loudest
scream I've ever heard out of a dog
this is not a bark it's a
~scream~
you think he is being attacked
or something dreadful is happening
~the breeder warned us~


and this little guy is so sad
I mean he has been moping around here for this last week
they say it takes 2-3 weeks
for him to adjust


Sushi idolizes Spanky
"please, please, play with me"
I can just hear him say as
goes around and around Spanky barking
Spanky won't even look at him


yesterday while outside helping me with
~yard work~
he was able to get near Spanky
for the first time




This is Spanky's favorite hang out
with the invisible fence boundary
this is as far down the driveway that he can go
and he will sit here for hours
watching over his
~kingdom~
or lay down....
this was so cool to see
Sushi imitating him

But after getting ignored
Sushi
 helped me weed the
ajuga


This stuff is so pretty
but what a grower...
it takes over everything

We have this funny little area in the driveway
cut out of the concrete
~for planting~
still wondering if it should stay or go
I hang my baskets here every year
these are my newly planted ones
they have a way to go...

In the fall I put my cornstalks there
The the hanging baskets
make such a pretty statement
from the street below


and sometimes the roses get
~spectacular~
and some years they don't
Some years the peonies bud
and some years they don't


This area is what I see out my kitchen window
so I would like for it to be
~spectacular~

We had a landscape architect
come out to give us suggestions
and he said to get rid of it
so I am trying to decide if
~I want it at all~

not unlike my feelings about getting a puppy
remember this was the Hubs idea, not mine...

but after this week of
 potty training, and sleepless nights
that puppy has gotten ahold of my
heart



now if Spanky will just
get onboard...
oh and Sushi was not the only one getting
~ignored~
usually he will sit in the Hubs lap
not this week
he took up space in the other chair!

  4. You're place is so beautiful Kathy - I wish I could grow ANYTHING at my place. And Spanky will come around - my pets were the same way. It really does only take a week or two and they snap out of it. My cat hated Buttercup when we brought her home as a puppy. He would skulk around the house and walk the long way around the puppy hissing and growling. But now they hang out together like best friends even though Buttercup is full grown - he'll even go up and bap her on the nose to get her to come and play with him when he's bored! Can't wait for a chance to meet Sushi!

  6. It's going to take longer than a couple of weeks!! Treble still has his moments where he wants nothing to do with Zoey and it's been a little over a year now.
