<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><U>Abby Gale</U> :After everyone has gone to bed for the night Abby decides </DIV>
<DIV>that it is play time and will grab one of the many squeakies, running </DIV>
<DIV>throughout the house, squeaking away then throw it around and chase it. </DIV>
<DIV>Last night she decided that playtime would be at 1 a.m.! Telling her it is </DIV>
<DIV>bedtime does no good as she has me well trained with her perfected "show </DIV>
<DIV>the belly and give the look" trick.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We play for 10-15 minutes and then will curl up on her favorite </DIV>
<DIV>spot on the couch, head on a pillow and go soundly asleep for the night.</DIV>
<DIV>Of course if I don't wake up she will jump on the bed and wake everyone up.</DIV>
<DIV>She has decided that this is our special time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><U>Sadie Maye </U>- She is the alarm clock when it comes to meals. My girls eat at </DIV>
<DIV>8 and 8. Her antics start somewhere around 7:30. She will come and</DIV>
<DIV>sit by me put her head on my chest and stare into my eyes. I think she is trying </DIV>
<DIV>to hypnotize me. If I ignore her she will put her nose up under my chin and nudge</DIV>
<DIV>me gently. By this time I usually tell her "it is not time yet". She then sits up and</DIV>
<DIV>puts her paw on my arm continuing to give me the "I am starving" look. When I finally</DIV>
<DIV>tell her it is time, she runs to the kitchen and sits by the refrigerator. Sadie is not about</DIV>
<DIV>to miss a meal.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><U>Nelly Belle</U> - My senior rescue girl has come a long way since mid October. She actually has two</DIV>
<DIV>quirks. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the morning after breakfast she loves to sunbathe in the house. I think the mornings</DIV>
<DIV>are still a little cool for her liking. She positions one of the soft cotton rugs in just the</DIV>
<DIV>right spot to catch the sun rays coming through the front door window will take</DIV>
<DIV>her morning nap. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Her latest quirk comes after dinner and her business trip in their backyard. She will</DIV>
<DIV>go get in the bed, crawl under the down comforter with her head sticking out and </DIV>
<DIV>start her beautiful arhoo until I go in the bedroom. If I don't go to bed she will come</DIV>
<DIV>out, crawl on the couch with me for a little while and voice her displeasure. She will</DIV>
<DIV>usually continue to repeat the pattern until I finally give in. She will then happily </DIV>
<DIV>get into bed, nest the comforter just right and use her mouth to pull the blanky over </DIV>
<DIV>her. Of course she lays sideways in the bed with her tushy up against my shoulder.</DIV>
<DIV>(Good thing I changed her diet and we have less gas bombs) I am amazed at how far my </DIV>
<DIV>senior gal has come in such a short time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We send healing drool and prayers to all in need,</DIV>
<DIV>Karen and The Dog House Gang</DIV>
