Well it was time for another bath for baby Abby. She seems to "get into" doing her business which forces me to dunk her again. She is getting more calm as she faces that trickle of water at the sink. I actually have a mini can of baby powder that I sprinkled on her after the dunk, the towelling and the hairdryer. She smells like a little rose. Right now she is curled up beside Elijah on his pillow surrounded by toys that she has gathered and dragged to his site. I am truly amazed at how much tolerance he is having for her. He is the alpha male in our hierarchy of dogs. My second daughter and her husband owns a St. Bernard and an English Bulldog, and my oldest son, who too is out of the nest also, owns a Ridgeback (they are from Africa and actually hunt lions) and a bulldog that his girlfriend found abandoned by her work.
Elijah has made it very clear to everyone entering his domain that he is king of the castle. Atticus, the St. Bernard lets Elijah boss him around which is very funny to watch. We didn't have the heart to tell Elijah that physically he is no match for the big guy but ooooooh the courage of his heart is sooooo big. Anyhow his heart has become tender to this little creamy cream puff and he allows her to curl up beside him on his pillow and sleep there. I think deep down inside he is not so tough after all and really is embracing her closeness and comfort.
Good night last night. She was up at three ten to pee and would not go back into her basket but chose instead her big step-brother, Elijah, to snuggle with. Everyone is passed out now and I myself may take advantage of the quiet time and try and get some chores done. Blessings. Have an awesome Saturday and hug your pets today.
