Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

Chloe Gets a Bath

Last weekend, Chloe got a bath. Like most dogs, she started running around like a crazy dog after she was out of the bath. Katie thought it was so funny, and started chasing her around.  The pictures are a little fuzzy since both Chloe and Katie were running.  If you had sound with the pictures, you would have heard Chloe barking and Katie yelling as she ran. It was a quiet and calm house!

I can run like you! 

Stopping for a Drink 

It's fun to run and scream! 

How is Chloe so fast? I can't keep up! 

You knocked me over when you ran past me, Chloe! 

I can finally catch up with you since you laid down. 

Someone needs to give Chloe a treat! She's waiting! 

Is that dog under the table? 

I think I see you! 

Look, Chloe! I found Grandma's camera! 

Say cheese!

Busy Bee

Katie loves spending time outdoors when the weather is nice. One of her favorite things to do is to help walk Chloe when we're close to the house.

Let's Go Chloe! 

I'm Keeping My Eye on You! 

What a Nice Day!


After Katie's and Chloe's walk, Katie came in for a nice refreshing drink of water.

Here's the perfect spot - on top of Aunt Jennifer's computer! 

 
Nothing beats water after a brisk walk!

This is so comfortable!


After rolling around on the dog bed and covering her black pants with Chloe's white hair, Katie spent some time sitting on the deck and enjoying the weather again. 

What a fun day!

Looking for a Snack

When Katie went looking for a snack the other night, Chloe wasn't far behind in hopes that she would get something good too!

What's in here to eat? 

I found some cherries, Chloe!

This is a yummy snack! 

Hiding from the Camera

Getting a "Facial"

When Jennifer came home for lunch one day, she helped Katie stand on the kitchen counter next to the humidifier. Katie ended up giving herself a do-it-yourself facial!

What is this cool air? 

I'll put my face in it! 

Where is it going? 

I like how it feels on my hands. 

I'll put my face back in!

I Want to Play

When Katie feels like playing, she tries out lots of different things.

I wonder if I can watch a YouTube video. 

Shoes can be fun to play with! 

Who wants to  use the abacus with me? 

Chloe always likes when I feed her!

Oops!

The other day I came home from work. Katie came running to the baby gate to meet me. While she waited for me to hang up my jacket, she decided to put her foot through the gate. She didn't realize she wouldn't be able to pull her foot back through to her side! She was a little worried, but it was an easy fix when we took off her shoe. She hasn't done that again since!

I can't get my foot back through! 

Can someone help me?

Chloe, the Empty Canvas

Katie loves to be with Chloe. In recent days, she has decided to create beautiful designs on Chloe by covering her with toys, books, or herself. Chloe is such a good dog. She just sits patiently by, waiting for Katie to finish.
