Chloes new boyfriend

Fun at Aunt Kristens

2009-07-06T17:12:00.001-05:00

Old Man Charlie

Poor Charlie gets winded after just a 20 minute walk

But hes still as happy as can be!

Happy Birthday Tyson!

Charlies birthday

2009-04-22T14:04:00.004-05:00

After dropping Chloe off for daycare, Charlie was able to enjoy his birthday...

... And his peanut butter banana doggy ice cream!

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY CHARLIE!

2009-04-21T06:14:00.001-05:00

While its not the dogs...

2009-03-29T17:31:00.001-05:00

... its still pretty cool. My first up close experience with hail!

Crazy Chloe strikes again

2009-03-17T20:19:00.002-05:00

From this video one would think she has never seen a squirrel before. This was the first time i saw her do this. Oh and of course don't forget the volume!

(Grandma and Pap, this post is for you)

Silly Charlie

2008-11-21T08:17:00.002-05:00

I want to be close to you mommy while you do work...

hmm.... how can I fit into this? Maybe I can push the sides out!

Nope, that doesnt seem right.

Mom? Help!

Ah much better!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY CHLOE!!

2008-09-24T06:30:00.002-05:00

Since Chloe has food allergies shes not allowed any "fun" treats

so today I gave her a Chloe version of a birthday cake...

she wasn't really sure what to do with it or how to eat it....

But it didn't take her long to figure it out!

2008-07-18T19:21:00.002-05:00

(she actually turned out to be quite the little swimmer when I made her)

What do you mean im not suppose to be up here....

2008-07-10T18:39:00.003-05:00

... then why did you leave me that nice white and black stepping stool to use?

PROM 2008

2008-06-04T16:27:00.003-05:00

Chloe had the chance to attend her first prom today at the Puppy Palace.

This is the picture she sent to my phone...

... And this is what it said...

"Hi mom im just having fun at the prom. i just kissed a boy. oops, sorry."

Pretty in pink

Do I look like im having fun?

Oh man, I had too much to drink!

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY CHARLIE!

2008-04-21T07:58:00.001-05:00

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of Marlin the fish. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, he lived out his final days in Allentown. He is survived by his Mom Kelly, his younger sister Chloe, and his older brother Charlie. He will truely be missed.

They like it when Grandma visits...

2008-03-17T10:42:00.001-05:00

.... She brings clothes.....

.... and she brings toys!

Chloes latest fashions...

Our night.... in the car!

2008-02-10T23:37:00.000-05:00

We ran to the car after hearing another tenant yell "FIRE"!!!!!! Then 2 of these arrived!

Charlie kept a watchful eye out!

While Chloe finally began resting after about an hour!

All apartments are fine except the one where the woman threw

her clothes on the wall heater in the bathroom! Hers is filled with water!

Smart lady!

We are almost ready....

2007-11-18T19:11:00.000-05:00

... are you?

Chloes new winter/rain coat!

2007-10-27T18:34:00.001-05:00

Its a little big (shes like me, long torso/small chest) but it will do until I get some extra velcro to it! She loves it anyways!

What would she do without her brother?

What did you think, that I got another dog? I'm not that crazy!

(ok I am but apartment management won't allow it!)

The red fish is a new friend for Marlin (the blue fish).

He has been named "Nemo" by Drew!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY CHLOE!!!!!

2007-09-24T08:21:00.000-05:00

(this next one looks very similar to last years photo!)

(doesn't she look just thrilled?!?)

Aren't I handsome? (and stylish)

2007-08-16T19:24:00.000-05:00

Loving cousins!

2007-08-16T19:23:00.000-05:00

Thanks Grandma!

2007-07-01T14:48:00.000-05:00

My new bed is so cozy!

(The corner tastes good too!)

2007-06-27T09:37:00.000-05:00

This video shows you how nuts Chloe can be. The ball is behind the gate and she can't get to it. So instead she goes after her cage, the basket of toys, and an empty water bottle. Make sure you have the volume up!

2007-06-26T21:28:00.000-05:00

Another silly picture of Chloe under the bed!

Chloes new favorite place!

I don't raise no dummies...

2007-05-27T20:52:00.000-05:00

It may have taken time to teach her new tricks, but Chloe is quickly catching up to Charlie!

Thanks Grandma!

2007-05-27T10:15:00.000-05:00

Charlie loves his new bed (well new to him), probably because he fits on it!

Isn't he just adorable?

Sleeping in the car

Sleeping on the couch

Sitting like a person

Laughing

Sleeping again... there seems to be a pattern!

I know its not the dogs....

2007-05-13T18:41:00.000-05:00

But isn't it lovely?

Fun in the sun (and the water)

2007-04-30T16:44:00.000-05:00

Charlie and I went to this often talked about park near my apartment. Its a beautiful walk with a river stocked with fish. I tied him to a tree and we played in the water.

This picture was taken after he pooped in the water and before he chased a duck into the water, pulling me with him (yes, we were both soaked and no, I was not in my bathing suit)

2007-04-29T17:21:00.000-05:00

Today I picked up Cooper from the kennel and I do not think my car is big enough for him. He looks so uncomfortable!

Puppy Party!

2007-04-22T19:46:00.000-05:00

Yesterday Pike spent the night with me, Charlie, and Chloe. First they all went crazy and played for about an hour. During down time, Pike would realize where he was and whine by the door to go home.

hmmm.... this will keep me busy for 3 hours (and it did!)

This look likes a cozy place to sleep for half the night!

Happy Birthday Charlie!

2007-04-21T08:29:00.000-05:00

I am 4 years old today!

I don't look like I am 30 years old in human years...

... do I?

Crazy Chloe

2007-03-18T16:23:00.000-05:00

This was how Chloe acted for about an hour after I got home from work a little after nine the other day. She does this about 3-4 days a week.

2007-03-08T21:43:00.000-05:00

What do you mean we are moving?

Again!?!?

(Click on the first picture to really see the looks on their faces!)

Chloe is crazy!

2007-03-01T20:57:00.000-05:00

Here is a video of Chloe playing with Charlies kong. Please keep in mind that there is nothing inside of the kong and it had been 2 days since there were any treats in it.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CHLOE!

2007-01-29T11:15:00.000-05:00

It was one year ago today that I brought home an adorable black and white bundle of joy that I named Chloe. She was really a gift for Charlie so he would have a buddy and its a good thing she makes me laugh everyday because she also drives me nuts!

Charlie loves snow: Part II

2007-01-25T14:51:00.000-05:00

Charlie loves to run around the yard while putting his face into the snow (he does it to the morning dew too). These are the best pictures I could get but his face is usually covered in snow!

He also likes it when I kick snow into the air so he can try to catch it!

Charlie loves snow...

2007-01-24T12:10:00.000-05:00

... even if we only got a little!

Penn State Pup!

2007-01-09T15:29:00.000-05:00

All bark and no bite!

2006-12-31T21:44:00.000-05:00

When you watch this video, have the volume up so you can hear how vicious he sounds, but also make sure you watch until the end to see what a baby he is when I throw the frisbee.

*Visit this site if you can't see the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFL7aGYoXGM *

2006-12-24T22:13:00.000-05:00

Apparently cat toys can be used as dog toys too!

*If you can't view it on my blog try going to this web site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcG4dktrD5Q *

Wet cat.... Mad cat!

2006-12-02T21:23:00.000-05:00

I hate the smell of kitty litter and I wanted her to get use to it, so I gave her a bath...

... she didn't appreciate it!

Christmas pictures: round 1

2006-11-20T12:20:00.000-05:00

If anyone wants a copy, let me know and when they come in I will make copies (or grandma Kathy can make you a copy of this one!)

Bugs Bugs and more Bugs!

2006-11-16T20:11:00.000-05:00

It seems my dogs attract bugs... charlie attracts the mites while Chloe attracts the spiders! Here are pictures of Chloe a few days after what we think was a spider bite. It looked much worse on Monday (the venom causes some oozing) but is still red and swollen.

And while her right "lip" usually hangs down a little longer than the left, its not usually this bad!

Merry (early) Christmas!

2006-11-16T14:51:00.000-05:00

It appears that Gracie thinks this is her early christmas present.

Why do I buy her toys?

2006-11-10T12:23:00.000-05:00

2006-11-05T15:49:00.000-05:00

If any of you have seen Drews News, there is a list of what to buy and what NOT to buy. I thought I would copy this wonderful idea and use it for my "kids". If you do not want to see your money eaten, literally, then avoid these gifts:

- Plush toys
- Plastic toys
- Vinyl Toys
- Rubber toys
- Treats of any kind (Chloe is allergic to something or everything, im still not sure & Charlie can only have plain milkbones)
- Rawhide (or fake rawhide)
- Rope toys
- Tennis balls
- Terry cloth toys
- Edible bones

Alright, so what can you buy? Try these:

- Bones (i.e. nylabones)
- Milkbone treats (for Charlie)
- Kongs
- Basically anything they cannot swallow or destroy b/c they both have destroyed toys claimed to be indestructible!

Proof that Chloe will sleep anywhere!

2006-11-03T21:43:00.000-05:00

My blog was not behaving for a few days so I apologize for the large amount of blogs all at once.

I was waiting for my neighbors to finish using the washing machine so I could do my sheets and this is what I found!

Gracies favorite toy! (Chloes too)

2006-11-03T21:41:00.000-05:00

Gracies favorite dish!

2006-11-03T21:38:00.000-05:00

What do you have in there?

Oh i see!

Trick or Treat!!!!

2006-10-31T19:35:00.000-05:00

(Just for the record, these were my costumes; the pimp/witch, cop, and pumpkin came from Grandma Kathy! Im not a nut who buys every dog thing in sight, well at least not this time.)

Im the Devil...

2006-10-31T19:33:00.000-05:00

... And Im an Angel!

2006-10-31T19:31:00.000-05:00

HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN!

Best Friends Part 2!

2006-10-27T10:16:00.000-05:00

I got this picture of the two friends just a few minutes after I posted the pictures.

Best Friends!

2006-10-26T20:54:00.000-05:00

Chloe just loves Gracie and it appears that Gracie loves her back just as much!

2006-10-26T20:47:00.000-05:00

Chloe was sick when I brought her home from the kennel, can you tell?

Her left ear canal was swollen shut (she cried when you touched it) and her nose was so stuffy she had to breathe from her mouth. It was pitiful.

2006-10-17T20:39:00.000-05:00

Chloe has finally decided to figure out what Gracie really is....

Are you a cat???

... are you a dog???

Charlie and Chloe have decided she is their new toy!!!

I had a feeling....

2006-10-16T17:40:00.000-05:00

I had a feeling that Chloe was a cat in a past life... here is one simliarity between Chloe and Gracie...

... They both like the top of the couch.... they are both always up there! (but not at the same time)

2006-10-14T17:59:00.000-05:00

There is a new member of my little family and her name is Gracie!

Gracie was found on the side of the road, brought into my animal hospital by a nice woman, and treated for minor head trauma. She had a bloody nose but was still as cute as could be. I knew right away I wanted her and after a night in the hospital, she was ready to come home and meet the crew!

While Chloe is very unsure about this new creature (she has never met a cat before), Charlie was very excited and it looks like they are going to be good friends.

Dog Park

2006-10-14T17:54:00.000-05:00

Charlie and Chloe are so happy with the new dog park in their backyard. Charlie showed me how happy he was by waking me up at 3am the first night it was up b/c he wanted to go play in it. Charlie loves to be chased and Chloe loves to be the one to do the chasing.

2006-10-10T11:25:00.000-05:00

Charlie loves being outside and would stay out there for hours if I let him. He is quite content to just lay down and he always seems to find some shade in reach, regardless of how little there is.

2006-10-08T18:34:00.000-05:00

I am putting this picture on for my mom to see. This dog dish holder use to belong to our shih tzu, Keebler, who after many happy years went to doggie heaven this past summer. My mom gave it to me for Chloe and with her permission, I painted the wood and created what you see below.

While the final outcome was not exactly what I had in mind (the stenciling would not work), I still think it is better than anything I could have bought!

Mighty Mites!

2006-10-08T18:22:00.000-05:00

Here is a picture of Charlie from today. If you click on it, you can view it as a bigger picture and then see what the skin mites have done to his fur. While it doesn't seem to bother him much, except for the occasional itch, it bothers me a lot. The medication he was on for a month didn't work at all (and was making him goofy), so now he is getting bathed with a special shampoo once a week and gets a special cream put on the "bald" spots every night (it doesn't seem to be helping much either).

He has a follow up visit in two weeks and I have a feeling we are going to have to try the next treatment, special "dips". There is also the possibility that he will have this condition the rest of his life and will be something we will just have to deal with.

Chloe the Incredible: Part II

2006-10-08T18:17:00.000-05:00

Yes folks thats right, she managed to move her cage several inches away from the wall, even with a 5 gallon bottle of water in front of it.

Chloe the incredible!

2006-10-02T16:44:00.000-05:00

2006-09-23T19:25:00.000-05:00

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY CHLOE!!!

D.O.B: 9/24/2005

Chloe after her party

I couldn't resist!

2006-09-14T20:05:00.000-05:00

I decided that I would need a sweatshirt for Charlie so that I could walk him in the colder weather but realized if Chloe was a large then Charlie was a XXXL, which of course does not exist in doggy fashion. This is what I came up with....

... Yes thats right, he is wearing my sweatshirt from Gap! I will be buying him a smaller one, probably a boys large (maybe even from Gap so he is stylish!).

Oh, and an interview dog... A new camper must meet one on one with an interview dog (a laid back dog that doesn't mind much of anything) and prove to be non-aggressive before being able to go in the play areas with the rest of the dogs. Chloe is the interview dog for active small dogs (she scares the shy ones).

You spent how much on a sweatshirt for a dog?

2006-09-13T17:12:00.000-05:00

Chloe is always cold. She is only 13 pounds, has very little fur and no fat at all. I bought this cute hooded sweatshirt from PetSmart that says "fetching" on the back. Please keep in mind, this is size large (I will shrink it like the rest) so I wonder what kind of dog wears the x-small.

Diojie and his raincoat!

2006-09-13T12:03:00.000-05:00

This is my friends dog Diojie (pronounced as if you were spelling the word dog), who is the main interview dog at camp bow wow and one of Charlies good friends. He loves his raincoat because he won't go outside in the rain without it.

WHO WAS I KIDDING

2006-09-12T21:05:00.000-05:00

I lied when I said I wouldn't give this blog much attention... Im always on the computer and I love nothing more than going on and on about my "kids". So let me introduce you to my other pup, Chloe...

Chloe the night I got her (all 7 lbs)...

Chloe at Camp...

... with Cali...

... and with Bianca...

... and with Auggie!

For those of you who have met Chloe, here is what she is like when it is just the three of us at home... I swear!

The Newest Member...

2006-09-12T10:27:00.000-05:00

... Of Camp Bow Wow (yea like I really got another one!)

This is Kameryn and she belongs to my co-worker Ricky. He lost his one year old pup last week to an unknown illess and found this cute little girl at Animal Friends. She is 6 months old, better behaved than my dogs, and full of love. She has a cleft pallet which created a break between her two nostrils down to her lip, leaving her front middle tooth in full view. Isn't she adorable? Oh, and her name means "crooked nose"!

Here are a few pictures I have on my computer of Charlies first year with me. Any pics I have of him as a tiny puppy are not in my computer yet so eventually I will share those as well. Enjoy!

Charlies model picture... and he is so skinny!
