Remy (2002ish-2013)

Remy had to go to the happy hunting ground.  She had been declining and her quality of life isn't what it used to be, so we knew a decision was coming.  But, unfortunately, she had an accident and the decision was made for us.  As we got to the farm yesterday, she fell out of the car and hit her head, hard.  Poor girl.

She's been a wonderful companion.  I got her when I was a single gal, living inTyler.  

She proceeded to travel all the time and was always, always the friendliest dog ever!  I went back and found some great pictures of her.

She got a daddy!

And, a brother (which meant lots of new snacks!)

Like everyone else, he loved to make her SING!

And, she got a sister:

She loved to help give a bottle:

Part of the family:

She found the perfect spots for naps:

And, had her own stocking.

Such a sweet dog.

Here we are with Remy right before going to the vet:

Love my first furry baby!

We will miss you Remy!

OOWWWWW

I'm not sure that this story is going to translate to blog speak.  But, I'm going to try.

If you know Remy, you know about her howl.  Or, as I like to call it, her singing!  If you howl, she'll sing and sing and it really is adorable.

Yesterday, Walker and I were looking at his alphabet books.  In the W book is a wolf.  Well, I told Walker the wolf says,"ooowww".  As I was howling, Remy began to howl and Walker could not stop laughing!

Now, he chases Remy and says, "dog, ooowww!"  It is hilarious to hear him howling.

This afternoon he kept showing Remy the wolf:

And, his howling got her to sing:

Finally!  Remy gets some attention!!!!

Poor Remy

I haven't blogged about our four-legged friend in awhile. The truth is... Walker torments her!

Poor thing, she really is a good sport, considering he chases her, pulls her ears and tail and smacks her whenever he can get the chance.

He's very into doors these days and tonight, Remy ended up on the wrong side. I'm sorry that Remy was being tortured, but this video is too cute to not post!

You Decide

Does Walker think he is a puppy dog or does Remy think she is a human?



As Fox News says... we report, you decide!

Protective Puppy

Walker is almost 12 weeks old and our sweet puppy still isn't sure what to make of him. For more than six years Remy was the only "baby" and she isn't coping well with having to share her time.

BUT, I do think she might be coming around.

Most of you have heard the stories of Remy and thunder. It scares her to death. In fact, she once tried to eat an entire door during a storm. She literally shredded the bottom of my bedroom door in Tyler during a storm while I was at work.

Well, she still has those reactions, so she was in quite a state on Friday and Saturday. But something new happened during the storms over the weekend. She was in my lap and Walker was napping in his crib, when a huge clap of thunder shook the house. In the past Remy would just sit there and shake. Not this time, she jumped down and ran into Walker's room. I swear, she was trying to protect him! I thought it was so sweet.

Here's the crazy part... she stayed in there. She was able to situate herself where she could still see me in the living room, but she could also keep a watchful eye on her baby.

So, she might not actually like him, but she does feel the need to protect him. Progress!

Here's a picture of our little princess... have you ever seen a more spoiled dog!?
