Meatball & Marley

Frankie went to another foster home and within a week he was adopted by a family with 2 pre-teenage boys...dog and boys fell in love...even a puggle can find the right home.

When Frankie left, Meatball arrived. He was a sweetie. His only problem was his eyes which required medication several times a day. Meatball wasn't thrilled about drops in his eyes, but he would patiently put up with the attention.

He had a strange way of sitting; his rump seldom made it to the floor.

Meatball was fascinated by the smell of our cat and in the beginning he lunged at her a couple of times. She soon discovered that he couldn't see very well so she was perfectly safe on any chair. We also discovered that if we meowed like a cat, Meatball would come running! He must have been a little mixed up about his identity because, when he was content, he actually purred.

Before a week had passed, Meatball was adopted. There was only Jake, William, and Jennie around the house so I took advantage of the peace and quiet. The kitchen and dining room got mopped and the dining room floor got waxed as well. The shop-vac came out of the closet and suctioned up anything that wasn't nailed down. Dirt and dog hairs were gone!

Then Marley arrived. He's a 5 month old puppy who immediately adopted Jake as his older brother.

When Marley first arrived he tried marking in the house so I couldn't let him run around. Then I learned about belly-bands. There is half of a baby diaper in that belly-band so sprinkling is impossible.

The "boys" wanted to be with me while I worked at my computer so I brought the dog bed into my nook and they settled in. They are adorable.

Marley gets neutered on Monday and he will be adopted on Wednesday.
