Good morning everyone. The girls are being fed twice a day and loving the green beans and carrots. I decided to give them all some because they just stand around looking at Hobo wondering where is theirs. Anyway for now it seems to be doing okay. I am hoping Peaches will stop grazing like a cow when she goes outside and perhaps she will stop looking for poo in the yard.
Mama is doing well for her age and keeps everyone in line. When Suzie breaks out into a joyful run through the yard Mama always wants to butt in, I guess she thinks Suzie is having too much fun.
I am amazed at Peaches. She is eleven years old and acts and looks like a much younger dog. I know how old she is because I remember the year Robin got her. Robin was living with us in a camper in the back yard. It was 2002 and Peaches was a year old when she came to live with us. Levi couldn't be more pleased. He loved that little girl and couldn't wait to get outside each morning to greet her. They would run through the yard barking and rolling around with each other until they were worn out.
When Robin moved away and took Peaches with her Levi was saddened to lose his friend and went out each morning hoping to find her. Peaches stayed with Robin for five years before coming back to be with us. Peaches was locked up in the apartment five days a week for about ten hours. When she would get out she wanted to play and sniff instead of taking care of business. This irritated Robin when she was on a tight schedule every morning trying to get to work on time and like some people she wanted her sleep and would wait until the last minute to get up and start moving.
Robin had a cat and would leave the cats food out and for a while Peaches would eat the catโs food, She got so fat she looked deformed. There was this very small head on a body that was weighing sixty-pounds when we got her. Now she weighs thirty-eight pounds and is very healthy. I look back now and wonder why I didnโt take Peaches before we did. She was not happy living in the apartment with nowhere to run and play off leash. There was an instant turn around for her when she got to Waynesboro and was able to play in the back yard again. The sad thing was her friend Levi was gone and she couldnโt understand where he was. She was the Queen once again with Suzie her under study. Then came Mama and Hobo which took away some of the attention Peaches was getting, But she really didnโt mind and adjusted to life with three other girls and so we have this big happy family that loves each other and gets along great. When we go on a trip the girls have their own place in the truck with Mama and Suzie on the back seat and Hobo on the floor. Peaches rides on the front seat between Sue and myself. She will look up at me as if to say โ Iโm still the Queenโ.
