Dog Training

The girls decided to "train" the dogs tonight. Here is a cute lil' picture of them with our 3 dogs: Shyanne, Kiara, and Shasta.

I have to say, they were pretty well behaved considering the fact that the kids were running them all over the house... Kiara is definitely too much dog for Faith, but even when we tried to have her play with Shasta, she would have none of that. Faith calls Kiara an Alaskan Husky... not Siberian! It's too funny because if you try to correct her she'll tell you, "NO, Kiara is an ALASKAN HUSKY"! Since Trooper's passing, Shyanne is the most affected. She has become more attached to me than ever. She still prefers Terry but she has definitely come around me a lot more than usual. Maybe she senses that I really miss him... who knows, but the new attention from her is very welcome! Kiara and Shasta don't seem to notice that he's not with us anymore. I believe that's more because they only knew him as a grumpy old man. There's even an orb in the picture above... It's just to the right where Trooper would have normally sat. It's almost as though he's still with us. The picture gives me a little re-assurance of that!
