Sunny Monday

This morning we are jockeying for a good position in the sun.   The front glass entry porch is a great place to lay and soak up the morning sun.  Above,  I am on the couch, Nala is debating joining me up on the couch, Bella is lying on Nala's favorite pillow on the floor and Stella on the far right is trying to find a place where no one will step on her. 

Finally Bella joins me on the couch, and Nala finds her place on the floor where she shows us her wonderful nap style.   Below, Nala knows how to nap with real class, she can sleep through almost anything.   Being deaf has its advantages, you don't wake up unless it is something pretty loud or someone gets excited and trips over her.   She hides her eyes behind the chair so the sun won't keep her awake. 

The Chauffeur is off playing his Santa games, and we have a very quiet day waiting for his return.   You would think that with all of the cookies and milk he gets that he would have some left over to share.   He wanted to tell the children to leave cookies and dog treats under the Christmas Tree, but they persuaded him that not everyone knows about the Reindogs, some poor misguided children still think that Reindeer pull Santa's sleigh. 

Stella and I get to do some floor exercises to keep healthy.   Bitey Face is a favorite game of ours.  

We wanted to point out that Foster Stella seems to have learned her social manners.   Readers will remember that Stella came back to us after going to her new home, then being returned because she fought with the resident Golden, she fought to the point that trips to the vet and many stitches were required.   She spent three days with our three cousins without a single quarrel.   We think it was a bad combination of two dogs and not a permanent defect in character that caused Stella to be aggressive with her sister at the home that she went to.    She has shown no signs of aggression with us, she did learn how to wrestle from Bella, Bella is very loud when she plays, Bella growls, snarls and barks when she plays, sounding like she is about to tear you from limb to limb.   Stella has learned to play loudly like this as well.
