Nala
Nala was an adorable Irish Terrier. She stayed with her brother Sammy. She wanted to play non-stop with Sammy, and Sammy would get mad and growl at her.

We enjoyed having Nala stay with us and can't wait for her to return.

We loved having Ezel and can't wait for him to come back.
Lucy and Posy
Lucy and Posy were two beautiful and sweet King Charles Cavalier sisters. Lucy thinks that Posy is her mommy. She loves to sleep literally on top of Posy.

We loved having them, and are looking forward to having them again soon. Hurry back girls!
Topaz
Topaz was a beautiful Golden Retriever puppy. She loved to play catch. She had one favorite ball, her yellow ball. I would throw her the ball, and she would run as fast as she could to get it.

We loved having Oakley stay with us and can't wait for him to come back.
SweetiePie & Teagan
Both Sweetie Pie and Teagan are regular guests at Karen's house, but this was their first time together. They became instant BFF's and were inseperable for the entire length of their stay. Two pooped puppies went home to their respective, lonely homes.
Muffin
Muffin was a special needs guest. At 15, she was hard of hearing, almost blind and could not use her back legs. At Karen's house she was treated like a queen. To keep her safe, she was given her very own bedroom where she could spend her vacation snoozing in peace without worrying about the other doggie guests. Her little "go cart" made it possible for her to walk around the back yard and do her doggie business like a little lady.
Max
Max, a little malti-poo, is a frequent guest of Karen's. He has discovered the toy box and tends to pull every one of the toys out in search of the perfect one. But this particular time, he found the newest toy and decided that he had a particular interest in it. The toy chicken was almost as big as Max, but as the picture illustrates, Max won the battle.
Cuso
Cuso was a beautiful Golden Retriever. His parents brought him his favorite "white ball". He loved to play with his ball. He also looked forward to the afternoons when I would give him a treat that his parents brought him. We loved having Cuso stay with us. Hurry Back Mr. Cuso!!!!
Lacey
Lacey was a beautiful daschund. Her mommy brought her a sweater for her evening walks since the temperature is cool at nights. She loved my daughter and wanted to be with her on top of the bed. She helped us decorate the Christmas tree and put up Christmas decorations. Thanks for helping Lacey. We loved having you.
Gali
Gali, a black lab at 130 lbs. is a very sweet and mellow couch potato who likes to get comfortable when he's watching TV or just relaxing with the family. He thinks he's a small lap dog and wants to cuddle a lot. He came all the way from Miami to Hollywood to stay with us. We couldn't believe it when a big suitcase on wheels was taken out of the car. We thought: was he moving in with us for good? Inside the suitcase was his big bag of food! Our whole family loved him and gave him all the loving he could wish for.
Riley and Abby
Riley is the old girl and Abby is the younger sister. They've stayed with us several times and settle right into our home upon arrival. Riley is lovable and likes to lay under the desk while I work at home. Abby is the energetic one that loves to lick you or chase a ball. Actually, in the back yard they both go crazy chasing the ball, or a lizard if they find one, and running back and forth. Our Hunter boy, also a yellow lab, gets intimidated by all their craziness in the yard because he can't quite catch up to their speed. Once inside, he likes to cuddle with either of the girls in one of the many doggie beds around the house.
Buca
Buca was a beautiful Schnauzer who stayed with us for a week. He was very vocal and loved to tell you exactly how much he loved you. He was also very smart and wrote his own e-mails to his mommy and daddy who were in Italy on my daughter's computer. I have entered Buca to participate on the next American Idol auditions, and I am confident he will win first prize. We loved having you Buca and can't wait for you to come back.
Bijan and Blanc
Bijan and Blanc were two brothers who stayed with us before Halloween. Blanc was afraid to walk in the marble so he brought his booties. It was really cute because if his boots felled off, he would start barking so you could put them on. Bijan was a beautiful maltese. They were a pleasure to have, and we can't wait to see them again. Hurry back Bijan and Blanc.
Sable and Daisy
Sable and Daisy were two beautiful sisters. Sable was a Sheltie and Daisy was a Chihuahua. They were absolute angels. Sable was very scared at the beginning but quickly opened up to the family. Daisy was the brave one. I would take her to the backyard, and she loved to go exploring and smelling everything. It was really cute how Sable would always find comfort in staying really close to Daisy. We loved having them stay with us and can't wait to see them again. Hurry up Sable and Daisy come back to visit us.
Jersey, Sushi and Bailey
Jersey, Sushi and Bailey were three beautiful schnauzers. They each had their own individual personality. Jersey was very quiet. Bailey was the licker. He made sure he gave you tons of kisses. Sushi was very smart and playful. Sushi and Bailey would grab the same toy and then they would wrestle to see who would ultimately keep the toy. If I had to say who won, I would say it was equal between Sushi and Bailey. They each loved to go for a walk. We enjoyed so much having them and can't wait to see them again. Come back soon boys to visit us.
Bubba
Bubba loved his bed. It was a laundry basket with a goose down comforter inside. He would snuggle in the basket like a little ball. He also loved to sit on top of the sofa and look at the window. We enjoyed having Bubba stay with us and can't wait to see him again.
Max
Max was an adorable Siberian Husky. He quickly found his way to my daughter's bed. He did not like any other bed but my daugther's. It was really cute because he knew how to jump up but would cry when he wanted to come down. He was afraid to jump down. We loved having him stay with us and can't wait to see him again. Hurry back Mr. Max.
Gracie
This is Gracie, she was a very special furry guest to us, her mom is stationed in Guantanamo Bay, when she traveled back to the States she needed a nice place to live her precious baby at, I'm glad she found me because Gracie is the most adorable pooch ever, as you can see we keep them very busy at our place ( nappy-nappy time ). Gracie we love and miss you so much.
Blue
Blue is a very energetic, silly Cocker Spaniel. He's a regular at our place, coming at least once a month. He is the sweetest guy ever, just a bit misunderstood :) He sleeps with Maddy in her bed and wakes her up with lots of wet kisses!!! We just love when Blue comes to visit because we know how much he likes us all here. Its so much fun when you have a guest actually excited to come stay with us!
Mister Doobie
He is the cutest little guy. He has such a scraggly face and coat, but walks like a prince - he is nicknamed The Distinguished Gentleman. I am not sure what breed he is, he was adopted from the Humane Society, already dubbed Mister Doobie. He has come to visit a few times with his big sister Comi, a chow mix. They are so great together, she is the best sister. She lets him come up and bite her face and tug at it, and she just plays. He loves to lay in one spot on our couch and has managed to make an indentation! Doobie reminds me of a Fraggle Rock character, just so adorable.
Molly
Molly o Molly! This little Miniature Daschund was the most loved guest. Even Jason enjoyed her! Her owner went away for a week and just hated leaving her. I got a call a day to check on her baby - what love. She is so small and low to the ground, I was so suprised when she jumped on our couch. Molly slept with me and Jason all snuggled up to me like a baby :) We really hope to see her again.
Comi
Shes about 12 yrs old and I am almost positive she is a Chow mix. A lot of times, chows can be territorial and kind of mean, but she has such a wonderful temperament. Mommy shaves her usually to keep the hair shedding at a minimum - it can become a task to clean up after a chow that is shedding. She is a really great guest, so well behaved and she really watches out for her baby brother Doobie. She's also a great guard dog, barking at every person that comes to the door. We looove Comi. She speaks Italian (well, her mom does so she understands it) and I get to practice the only words I know well - ciao, veni cua, que bella!, andiamo.
Moto
Moto stayed with us for about 2 weeks and we soon found out her avid love of FOOD! We had a couple other boarders at the time and if we ever left any other food out in the open for her, it was gone in a matter of seconds. We had never seen a dog eat that fast. She was the sweetest girl tho - very good with the kids and loved to lick us all. She had about a million tags on her collar so we always knew where she was.
Cao
Another first this holiday was our guest, the Portuguese Water Dog, Cao. She is cute, but she actually grew on me the more time she was with us. She was very warm and kind to the kids. She loved to cuddle up with them at night on the couch (where they sleep on nights off from school). Here is Maddy snuggling up her in the yard for a picture.
Fletch
We had our first Swiss Hound come stay with us. His name is Fletch and when his mom brought him over she raved about how nice and cuddly he was. You never know until they stay without mom - well I am happy to report he IS! We just love this dog. Jason even let him sleep in our bed the first night. He slept with the kids on the couch the next few nights, at the foot of Maddy's feet. He"s about 50lbs of pure love and sweetness. The kids love him and me especially. I can't kiss him enough. He has the biggest ears that actually touch the ground when he sniffs the floor, they even get into his water and food bowls! We took him and our other guests outside to the yard today for some ball play and he was soo happy running his butt off! He tried to entice the other dogs to play and they did for a little bit but he had much more energy than them. He is definitely a dog we would be happy to have come back. Heres a picture of Maddy and Joseph lovin him up. And another of him pretty exhausted from playing in the yard.
Prince Louie
This is PRINCE LOUIE and his name says it all, what a royalty he is. Prince Louie spent few days at our humble home and it was such an honor having him stay with us, his daddy is a player for the Miami Dolphins and unfortunately the place they were staying at did not allow pets, lucky for us Lil Louie turned out to be the most handsome and sweetest little thing you can imagine. We do miss him very, very much and will always proudly remember the few days we shared our home with "Sir Prince Louie "
Beignet
Beignet: a 2 year old French Bulldog always ready for a nap. He followed me around somewhat, but as long as he knew where I was in the house, he was fine. Being a Bulldog, I kept his walks down to 1 block which he was perfectly OK with. He's been the easiest dog I've boarded so far.
Mojo
MOJO Is just about the coolest little dog you can meet. So well behaved,friendly,house trained, not a barker or chewer. Mikey and him have a ball playing together. He is always welcome back!
Charlie
Charlie: a sweet and playful Boxer. All he really wanted was to be with Rainer and I. He followed either one of us everywhere. He loved playing with the other dogs at the dogpark and walked great on a leash. He loved to cuddle on the couch and sleeping in our bed. We'll miss this guy...he's moving to DC.
Spike
Spike is a really smart Miniature Schnauzer that even knows a few hand signals. It was a bit overwhelming to know how many different commands this little guy knows...I felt as if I needed a training manual. He is a calm, affectionate dog that loves his toys and loves lounging on the couch even more. Loved having him around.
Trina
Trina is the sweetest Rottweiler I've ever met. She gets along great with other dogs and was really gentle with an overly excited Frenchy that was also boarding with us. A little hand shy at first, but once she warmed up to us, couldn't be petted enough. Loved having her.
Lexi
exi is a 6 year old Basset Hound living a dog's life. Eat, sleep, and potty. When she isn't asleep, she's a mellow girl that just wants to be touched. She gets along great with other dogs and aside from all her barking, was a well behaved house guest.
Alcapone
Hello, my name is Alcapone and I'm a young English Bulldog. My mom, Maria loves me sooo much!!! I came to stay at Jessica and Jorge's camp for a long weekend while my mom and dad went to the Dominican Republic. I learned so many new tricks. I went for really long walks with Jorge in the neighborhood and even made a new cool friend, Presha, Jessica and Jorge's neighbor's dog. We had so much fun playing in the yard. I can't wait to come back and hang out with all of my new friends!!
Shantel
Shantel I have never met this breed before, (Bermese Mountain Dog ) What a happy, sweet, wonderful dog. And such a pretty girl. Her and my Mikey are having a ball, running and playing in the yard. Jordan thinks he's Garfield, he stays up on top of the couch.
Jiali
Jiali: She is a 3.5 year old Shar Pei and the sweetest, most easy going dog EVER. She loves going for walks, but doesn't enjoy having her harness put on. She loved anyone that gave her attention and would follow me everywhere. It seemed as though nothing bothered her. During a thunderstorm, she sat looking out the window watching the storm as it happened...not even flinching at the sounds of thunder. she also loved playing with her stuffed toys, clenching them in her mouth while "wrestling" with me. Can't wait to have her back; we loved having her here!
Milo and Penelope
Milo & Penelope: Milo is a 3 year old, somewhat insecure Boston Terrier. At first, it took a while for him to relax, but we just ignored him til he came around. Once he relaxed a bit, he was as playful and energetic as Penelope, who is 6.5 months old. Penelope, being a puppy, had more energy than the energizer bunny. She showed her affection by licking, licking, licking...your face, ears, mouth, etc. They both were on medication for conjunctivitis which required me to administer a gel into their eyes. Surprisingly, Milo sat down and let me put in the gel while Penelope required a little more handling. They loved chasing each other around the house nonstop for a good 45 mins, then curling up with us on the couch for a nap, only to get up and do it all over again. At bedtime, they loved snuggling with us in bed. Really loved having them and hoping to have them again.
Roxie
Roxie: she's a 10 month old yellow lab that is full of energy. Although she didn't walk well on a leash, she loved running around and playing with the other dogs at the dog park. She really loves her toys and unless you put them away, she'll make certain you play with her all day. She literally tossed her toys at you until you gave her the attention she craved. Almost like playing fetch except for this time, I was the dog. She loves to snuggle up right next to me on the couch, at my feet while I'm on my computer or in the kitchen, and especially in bed. She is a sweet, curious, and very affectionate dog. Loved having her.
Adicus
Adicus: He's a 5 year old Red Doberman that as Cesar Milan would say..."balanced". Although he isn't neutered, he is very well behaved, loves other dogs, showed absolutely no aggression toward the Black Lab that was also with us, is housebroken and never "marked" in the house. He literally told us when he needed to be let out by whining and making weird noises until we let him out. He loves going on walks and running around at the dogpark. He isn't the type to follow you around, but you will find him curled up on the couch or as in the picture, relaxing on my side of the bed. I'd keep him if I could.
Chama
Chama is a 9 month old, rambunctious, full of energy Lab mix. He loves going on walks and walks surprisingly well on a leash considering how wild and crazy he can be in the house. He loves to play and being the center of attention, but was a bit too over the top for the 12 year old Boxer mix that was also with us. Overall, Chama is a handful but is very friendly, curious, and affectionate.
Jake
Jake is a regular visitor; a very well behaved 12 year old Boxer mix. He suffers from separation anxiety and his owners think it's due to the loss of their other dog a few months ago. At his age, he couldn't go for long walks, but would find the energy in him when running and exploring at the dog park. At home, he could be found curled up on the couch or relaxing on one of the cushions we had laying around the house. Overall, he's a sweet and affectionate companion.
Pepper
Pepper was an absolute joy to have around. He followed me everywhere that I went and loved to sit on my lap when I was watching television. He particularly enjoyed going out on the leash like 8 or 10 times a day. He slept on the bed with my daughter the two days that he was with me. I can't wait to have Pepper back.
Pancho
I first boarded Pancho when he was only 3 months old. He was a big Shih Tzu for his age and had endless energy and zest. The last time I boarded him he was so big we were thinking that his breed may actually be half Shiz Tzu half St Bernard (-: Pancho with his energy and playfulness turned out to be a handful and own Senior Citizen Shih Tzu Buddy found him to be somewhat aggressive (old people sometimes don’t like kids). All in all though Pancho is a beautiful creature.
Ollie and Colette
These 3 year old brother and sister Shih Tzus are the sweetest and most adorable pets anyone could hope to meet. And they take care of each other like loving siblings. Even my 13 year old Shih Tzu Buddy smiles when he sees them! Ollie and Colette are well behaved and well trained, never leaving surprises in the house. They love being held and love to sleep on the bed during the night. They will always be welcome guests In my home.
Luna
Luna is a grown female Boxer with a distinctive black eye patch. She gets along marvelously with other animals and people and is well behaved and well trained. She doesn’t bother at all until she needs something – food, water, bio break – and at that point she plants herself in front of you making amazingly human sounds until you act on her request. She is a real sweetheart.
Bogie
Bogie is a young male black-brown Peekapoo. I found the name Peekapoo rather unusual until I learned that they are a cross breed between a Pekingese and a Poodle. He is very adaptable and is so soft to touch you just want to hold him. Holding Bogie was like holding a warm loving soft ball of fur. When I boarded him he was in the training process yet was a pleasure to take care of.
Sobie
Sobie is a very smart female Papillon (French for Butterfly). At first she was very shy but once she realized she was safe Sobie became my constant companion and guardian. She would growl if my husband came too close… Sobie is very energetic – she takes you for a walk, not the other way around – and is always alert. Sobie is a bit possessive but was a joy have around.
Sunset
Sunset made herself at home from the minute she walked in. She knew the bed that she liked was my daughter's bed and also, picked her favorite stuffed animal. She slept hugging Minnie Mouse all night. She loved going out on the leash for her walks. Looking forward to seeing you again Sunset.
Linda
Linda arrived with her suitcase, two beds (her night night and a play bed), comforter to cover her at night and a shirt that smelled like her owners. She was an absolute joy to have. She spent the entire day with me did not lose sight of me for one minute. You can say I was her prisoner for a week because if I even tried to leave the house she would have a "panic attack". Linda was training to become part of the secret service to the President of the United States. Well, you can say she passed with flying colors. She was always ready for her "snackie" and her long training walks (four to five miles a day). I will miss you Linda and can't wait until you come to vacation with me again.
Cash
Cash is a 1 1/2 year old Golden Retriever/Lab/Hound Mix who holds the World Record for eating his food. The plate did not touch the floor and the food was gone. He made himself at home right away. He made sure he slept in a different bed every night and with a different person. He was absolutely gorgeous. He loved to play tug-o-war with his blanket or with any toy. He would not let go no matter what. You would pull and he would bite harder. He usually won, unless, of course, you tricked him that you had yes, food. Cash, please come back and visit.
Prince
Prince is a nine year old Golden Retriever who stayed with us for 11 days. He was an absolute angel. He got along great with Sparky and Princess. He loved for you to sit down next to him and give him hugs and kisses. He also loved to sit in the sofa and watch television with us while we were hugging and kissing him. He loved to go on his walks, and he even met another golden retriever (a girl) on one of his walks. We miss Prince and can't wait for him to stay with us again.
Pico
Pico is a gorgeous 5 1/2 month old dachshund, he has a wonderful Doxie personality and gets along great with everyone. He has one blue eye and one green eye, what a handsome boy!!! He's got tons of energy and has taken to be my personal body guard while at my house. Pico blends in very well to our home and is welcome any time!
Chai and Otto
Chai and Otto, brothers (not by blood, obviously) came to stay with us for a weekend. Otto is a regular client, but this was the first time the brothers were boarded with me together. Chai is a Whippet and Terrier mix, and Otto is a Chihuahua/Alien mix. Otto is so funny and playful. I thought the battery in my smoke detector was running low and chirping, but came to find out that Otto "chirps" when he gets excited. Quite the funny little guy. Both Chai and Otto are very well behaved lap dogs and have a great time at my house!!
Maxie and Mini
Maxie and Mini, our step-daughters. Maxie and Mini are quite the duo. Maxie loves to sit on the couch next to me and watch tv, something she can do day in and day out. Any sign of an animal on the screen and she's off!!! Launched to the edge of the couch and barks at that screen. Get 'em Maxie!! Mini is a sweetie pie. She prefers to cuddle up next to me and just watch the world outside through the window. They too fell in love with Mr. Winston - maybe they can meet again next year when he comes to stay with us!! My favorite girly pugs stay with me quite a bit. They have their own place in our hearts!
Cindy
Cindy is one of our favorite guests. She is such a well behaved 2 year old Yellow Lab. Cindy loves taking really long walks.... I don't know who was more worn out at the end of them, Jorge or Cindy?? This is by far one of the most well-behaved and gentle labs I have ever met. And she's a big spoiled baby too!! Her owners, Nilda and Roly love bringing her over to our house. They even think she likes it at our home more than theirs, sorry guys!!
Dalma
Dalma is a 1 1/2 year old White Husky. She is a goofy girl!! She has a blast playing chase in the yard with whomever and whatever gives chase. She ran around in 72 laps one time, I actually counted. But as you can see from this picture, she does have a calm gentle side to her, and spoiled too!! She made herself right at home on our couch!!
Champ
Nicknames: Champers, Champster, Pumpkin
Brutus
Brutus loved for you to pet him and hug him all day. He was absolutely lovable. He loved "dinner time" in the morning and at night. He ate all his food in less than a minute. His mommy brought him two rawhide bones which he enjoyed every other day. He really looked forward to eating those bones. He slept with my daughter and my son the entire time he stayed with us. He loved to cuddle up with them and put his head next to their face on the pillow. We love Brutus and can't wait for him to stay with us again. Hurry back Brutus!!!!
Summer and Lucy
Summer and Lucy are two sisters who stayed with us during the Halloween weekend. Since it was Halloween, I dressed both of them up so they could greet all the children. They had a lot of fun being hugged and kissed by the children. They loved going out on their long walks and chasing all the squirrels and lizards in the neighborhood. Lucy even tried to climb up a tree after a squirrel. At night Lucy jumped up on my bed and made herself comfortable. She liked sleeping with her face covered under the blanket. Summer started crying thinking there was something wrong with Lucy. We carried Summer to the bed so she could see that Lucy was fine. She acted like Lucy's mother. She was always making sure Lucy was within sight. Summer did not like to sleep on top of the bed. These two sisters were beautiful and a joy to take care of. We can't wait for them to stay with us again. We miss you both.
Oliver
Oliver is a 12 year old Bichon Frise. Oliver got along great with Sparky and Princess. The three of them slept next to each other. Oliver has allergies so he could only eat the treats his mommy and daddy brought him. He is so smart that he knew which was his house the first day I took him for a walk. You could not say the word "walk" because Oliver was ready to go faster than you could say the word. Even though he is 12 years old, he is in great shape and could walk for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. He loved to sit in the sofa and watch television with us. The first night when we got ready to go to sleep, he made sure to tell us that he was not about to sleep on the floor. He made himself comfortable under our comforter. I began decorating for Christmas, and I put him a Santa Claus hat. He looks so beautiful on the picture. Oliver is extremely well behaved, beautiful and lovable and I just can't wait to have him back. Oliver please call back and visit soon.
Betsy
Betsy is a three and a half year old Golden Retriever. I would give Betsy a treat, and she would wait until my dogs had their treat before she ate hers. She loved to play ball, and when she got the ball, she made sure she had a tight grip and believe me no one, I mean no one, would take that ball away from her. She would walk all around the house for like 5 minutes with the ball in her mouth. Betsy loved to be scratched. The minute you sat down you had to scratch her. If you stopped, she would push you with her body and make sure you start scratching her again. You could not stop. After twenty minutes scratching, your arm was about to fall but Betsy was content. She had beautiful puppy eyes that would stare at you and you could not tell her no. I can't wait to have Betsy back. I miss you. Come back soon Betsy!!!
Lucky
Lucky was a beautiful nine year old Maltese. He was full of energy and would run around the entire house but always came back to find me quickly. He was always ready for his "treats". He loved to go for long walks around the neighborhood and meet all the other doggies in the area. Lucky was very smart. He loved to cuddle next to you so you could kiss him and hug him. I loved to carried him and hug him really tight. He was that lovable. The minute he heard the leash, he would run as fast as he could so I could take him out for his walk. He loved to run around the pool so I could chase him. I had so much fun with Lucky and I can't wait to have him back. Hurry back Lucky. I miss you!!!! You are beautiful!!!!
Sassy
Sassy is a beautiful and lovable boxer. She was extremely sweet. She loved to play tug-of-war and go for long walks. She was very attentive of everything that was happening around her. She loved to give you tons of kisses. She would pass next to Sparky and Princess (my dogs) and give them each a kiss. It was the funniest thing. Then, she would come to me and lick me continuously. She always was with me. She did not like to be alone for one minute. When it was night time, she would follow me to my room and go to bed on her bed that her mommy brought her. I love Sassy and can't wait for her to come back. See you soon Sassy.
Gali
Gali was a ten year old black Labrador who celebrated his tenth birthday with us. We sang him happy birthday and made him a card. He was very lovable and got along great with my dogs. He helped our family decorate the house for Christmas. He particularly loved a Christmas bear which we had for decoration. He would grab the bear and run with it so you could run after him. Then, when you ignored him, he brought you the bear so you can throw it to him. He was wonderful to have around, and I sure hope he visits us again.

Lucy
Lucy is a pug which stayed with us during the Christmas holidays. She is a puppy and had a lot of energy. She would run so fast that my dog, Sparky, which is 11 had no idea what just went by him. It was hilarious. It was so funny because if you tried wearing socks, she would make sure that she took them off your feet. You could not walk without her making sure your laces were undone. She loved to go on her long walks and was very proud because her mommy and daddy had just potty trained her. On Christmas day, she was right next to us while the family and the rest of our temporary extended family (the doggies) opened the gifts. We dressed her up with Princess' dress. We really loved and enjoyed having Lucy over and are looking forward for her to stay with us again. See you soon Ms. Lucy. Sparky misses you.
Peter and Pan
Peter and Pan (aka Grumbles and Winky) stayed with us over the holidays. They are inseparable. They walked together on the leash side by side and believe me they would not lose sight of each other. At first they were a little bit nervous but by the end of the night they made themselves at home. They would follow me everywhere and loved to go to the backyard and run back and forth. Of course, I had to run as well if not they would not do it for fear that I was leaving. In the middle of the day, they got a toy and ran back and forth around the house fighting with each other and making all sorts of funny noises. On Christmas day they were sitting on top of the sofa watching as my family opened the gifts. By the end of the night, after so much playing, walking on the leash and running exhaustion would kick in and it was time to bed down. We really loved having Grumbles and Winky stay with us during the Christmas holidays and are happy that they coming back at the end of this month. Can't wait to see you guys.

During the day, I would put one of Princess' diva collars so she would not feel cold around her neck. Bella was in a special diet so she ate chicken only, and the treats that her mommy brought. We enjoyed having Bella stay with us and being part of the record breaking coldest week in decades. Hurry back Bella!

I did a lot of exercise for my biceps while Gianni stayed with us. Thanks Gianni for helping me workout my upper body. At night, he would jump on top of the bed and cuddle next to my face.
