A highlight of every visit home is spending time with my precious girl Chasey.  This morning my girl went to doggy heaven.  She isn’t suffering anymore.  She lived a good, long life.  I hate that I am not still at the farm comforting my mom and dad, who have loved and cared for Chasey for 13 years.  Chasey was gentle and loving, always hungry, and full of hugs and kisses.  She was a sweet, sweet dog.  I am grateful that when I left I hugged her neck really tight, told her I loved her, and kissed her goodbye.  When I go home again she won’t be there and that makes my heart hurt.  Here are a couple of other photos I snapped of her this past weekend…

And from a couple of years ago… she was always in the kitchen, hoping a morsel will find its way to the floor!

Love you Chasey!

I know you dog lovers are wondering how Penelope & Paisley are adjusting to life with a new sister.  The other day while I was nursing sweet Sloane in her room they decided to join us. 

Are they not hilarious?  Allyson, thank you for loaning us your bouncy seat… we promise we will wash it before we return it to you!  I think we need to be on the look out for two more bouncy seats!? 

In other terrihuahua news: yesterday’s mail brought a little terrihuahua tribute… look what Meg sent to Sloane:

A custom onesie of her canine sisters silhouttes!  There were two other cute hand painted designs along with this one that we also love – thank you Meg!!  And a special thank you to all the other blog readers that have been showering us with lots of love and fun surprises… we are so grateful!!!

{If you are fairly new around here, let me explain that while “terrihuahua” might sound like  a rare (exclusive) mix breed (like a Labradoodle), it is with much pride I must inform you… they are both rescues.  The breed name I made up for them makes them feel like more than a “mutt” (which is a forbidden word in our house).  They are not related, we rescued them a few years apart, but they are both a mix of Jack Russell Terrier + Chihuahua… hence “Terrihuahua”.}
