My mom has apparently "run out" of "interesting" blog fodder for today (and after her recent 1004 posts, who could blame her)... so, I have graciously offered to step in. I suppose I need the practice as Bonnie and Bailey will soon be joining the bi-coastal ranks of Darby's Daily! And like the many other
I am not sure if Bonnie actually is excited about the arrival of Bailey. I ask her every night if she is excited, but all I get are blank stares and the occasional yawn. Sometimes I say things like "ARE YOU SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THE BAILEY-BUTT COMING TO LIVE WITH US?" in a cute squeeky kind of voice... but then she just runs and grabs the de-stuffed opossum toy and stands looking at me with it hanging out of her mouth.
Two days ago I bought Bailey a big wire crate where he will sleep in our bedroom. It has a nice fluffy AKC dark blue crate matt inside. When I opened the door to adjust the matt Bonnie shoved her way past me and laid down in the crate. She has not slept in a crate for almost six years. I guess in typical dog fashion things aren't very interesting until they belong to someone else.
Bonnie is very interested in the arrival of the Milk Bones. Treats aren't a common occurance for the Bonster. She gets food in her orange treat ball... but that's about it. Bailey, I'm told, gets a Milk Bone before bed. I want him to feel quite at home so I will continue the tradition until we make some of our own.
The only creature I am really concerned about is Rocco the Ferret. He already gets quite a bit of "love" from Bonnie. I don't know if he could take much more from Bailey.
See you all soon! And please pray for a safe flight on Wednesday for the Bailey Butt!
