How falling in love is like owning a dog
I LOVE THIS!
First of all, it’s a big responsibility,
especially in a city like New York.
So think long and hard before deciding on love.
On the other hand, love gives you a sense of security:
when you’re walking down the street late at night
and you have a leash on love
ain’t no one going to mess with you.
Because crooks and muggers think love is unpredictable.
Who knows what love could do in its own defense?
On cold winter nights, love is warm.
It lies between you and lives and breathes
and makes funny noises.
Love wakes you up all hours of the night with its needs.
It needs to be fed so it will grow and stay healthy.
Love doesn’t like being left alone for long.
But come home and love is always happy to see you.
It may break a few things accidentally in its passion for life,
but you can never be mad at love for long.
Is love good all the time? No! No!
Love can be bad. Bad, love, bad! Very bad love.
Love makes messes.
Love leaves you little surprises here and there.
Love needs lots of cleaning up after.
Somethimes you just want to get love fixed.
Sometimes you want to roll up a piece of newspaper
and swat love on the nose,
not so much to cause pain,
just to let love know Don’t you ever do that again!
Sometimes love just wants to go out for a nice long walk.
Because love loves exercise. It will run you around the block
and leave you panting, breathless. Pull you in different directions
at once, or wind itself around and around you
until you’re all wound up and you cannot move.
But love makes you meet people wherever you go.
People who have nothing in common but love
stop and talk to each other on the street.
Throw things away and love will bring them back,
again, and again, and again.
But most of all, love needs love, lots of it.
And in return, love loves you and never stops.

New Sunshine fear
She has developed a fear of eating out of a bowl! Off a plate and ground is fine though.
Spoiled dog!
Murdoc wondering if he can steal some food... His diet is not agreeing with him!

Sunshine Says 5/2/2012
Dear Miss Sunshine,
White martingales after Labor Day? Acceptable yes, or fashion faux pas?
Zoey
Well Zoey this is a very good question! It depends on the type of pup you are. Some pups are elegant enough to pull off white no matter what time of the year it is. There are several reasons to where white. It will usually pop nicely against any color coat. The best reason to wear white is to make your Mommy scream with delight. Whenever I wear white I start mentally scouting out where the mud muddles are. Never try to roll in them on the leash unless the humans are very distracted. You don't want them to stop you and catch on to your plan until you are able to complete it.
Once you find your mud puddle you wait until the perfect moment. As soon as your free you should make a beeline and give yourself a mud bath. These aren't like the icky regular baths that we all hate. It actually conditions your fur and makes you smell better too! In order to make your humans extra happy you should scrub that white martingale as much as you can during that mud bath.
There are a few different techhniques to this. If you do both sides the humans will see rightawayquick and be delighted. You can tell from the sreeks of amazement. The way I perfer to have a mud bath is to only do one side. Less of the martingale gets scrubbed but the humnas don't always notice rightawayquick and they are extra suprised once your back inside. My Mommy loves this even more since her amazement at my awesomness is even louder inside! I love making my Mommy happy!

Love our double futon beds
In the bedroom the girls each have two futon mattresses. They are folded in half so they have 4 layers of mattress. Only a little bit pampered!
They usually prefer their own beds rather than sleeping in the big bed with us!
We really
Need those nails done! I got too lazy and started doing them every two weeks. Have to get back into the every other day habit.
