Jolie here – Big tree has decided it is time to pick up and LEAVE all over the yard. Mom and V sweep and rake and sweep and rake but the trees just keep leaving.
We are actually having fun in the crunchy leaves but they get stuck to my beard and I carry them everywhere.
Good thing that Bearnard is so little or someone would mistake him for a baby black bear this time of year.
We hope you are enjoying the colors that come with the chill. Happy November.

Dementia does interesting things to animals. It appears that Noel at almost 17, has decided that she is a dog. Don’t get me wrong, she screams like a cat, constantly and continually, but she is behaving more and more like a dog.
She waits at the top of the stairs with them (Bearnard is hidden next to Jolie). Many times she is there by herself.
She even tried to join in when the dogs were playing with their Snuffle mats (and luckily they just ignored her). The Littles are not in the least bit food aggressive, so Noel being close does not cause a ruckus (thank goodness!)
She has taken over Charles’ spot (our recently deceased PomChi) on the couch and now, I guess she is just running with the pack.
Mini Cooper on the other hand finds the dogs ridiculous!

The plan was not to have multiple little dogs on my lap all the time. Bearnard was supposed to be on the couch with V. But now Noel has taken Charles’s spot on the couch, and Mr. “I don’t want to be left out of anything,” is always trying to hog my lap (to Jolie’s dismay).
A CAT ONLY moment.
It really is crazy when Mini Cooper joins in and Noel scratches for attention from the side of the recliner.
This is why I always say you should not have more pets than you have hands. And even though we have 4 hands in this house, they all want my 2 at the same time.
They are definitely, a HAND-FULL.

Jolie is a Mama’s girl. After over a year (she came to us in July 2022) of not having to share Mom very much, because Charles wasn’t really a lap guy and the cats don’t count, she is not sure she likes this new dog.
I am guessing that her 6-1/2 years of living in a cage with other dogs made her into the ‘must get every scrap of food I can’ kind of dog. She wants all the food and all the cookies and all my time. She is not food or resource-aggressive at all, just pushy.
Now that Bearnard is here, Jolie is not sure about this whole ‘other’ dog thing, Though she does run and bark with him around the yard and at the door. She also has found that he is very food selective so he drops a lot of the treats he is given, which she quickly swoops in and eats. She does like that about him.
Having to share Mom’s lap is still questionable, but she is working on it. There really is no choice since, Mr. Zoom around the house, jump and spin, Bearnard, doesn’t understand boundaries very well yet. She is teaching him with a growl and a push.
Mom thinks over time (it has only been 3 weeks) they are going to be the bestest of friends. We will keep you posted.
Have a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY!
