Happy holidays!

It seems almost halcyon, these days. The dogs know our routine quite well now, and fall quickly into place. Whenever we head out, they would both remain obediently in the kitchen (with the radio and fan switched on, and the web cam spying on them). They both get VERY excited in the morning when S gets up - probably because Kiya is extremely excited about the morning treats she gets from S, and some of that energy rubs off onto Louie. And they both quite literally smile when we prepare to take them out to the park for a walk on weekend mornings.

Here are some pictures to make up for the dearth of updates in the last three weeks.


A profile shot of Kiya - I think she looks pretty good for a dog that was heartlessly dumped and abandoned, and later found infected with heartworms and starving.





Euph, the previous owner of Louie, commented that Kiya's hot pink skull and bones collar makes her look 'butch'. LOL. I think she looks adorable in it.





Louie does weird things, as always. After sprinting around the park at full speed for two minutes, he sat down heavily in the middle of a path. Weird.





Some of that rubbed off onto Kiya too. Jeez.





Whenever I take Louie out for a walk, I like to place his martingale collar over his head, tucking his ears under the collar but not quite on the neck. He looks so cute - like a girl with a hairband.





And looking model-ly and sissy in his red flea collar. Maybe christmasy too.





S has also been spoiling them a lot - allowing both of them on the sofa with him, for instance, resulting in me having to sit on the floor or stool. Whatever happened to alpha leader? Pack status??






Both of them not quite believing their luck in having the sofa.





But they're happy. So there.





Louie, the strange one, does not care when we open the door even as he is lying right next to it. Kiya would immediately get up and make way for us to exit, but not Louie. And his tail sometimes shows through from the outside of our apartment.







A welcoming sight whenever we come home.
