Wordless Wednesday: The Early Days

Today we ran across some early photos, taken almost three years ago, about a month after we adopted then six-month-old Tiki.

At the time, we had two “igloo” kind of dog houses on the front porch. The dogs didn’t stay in them but they were available to the dogs if they wanted to hang out there for while when they were out in the front yard. (Since that time, we’ve enclosed part of the porch with a dog room made with French doors; it has a dog door and is included in the central air/heat system. The dogs can go in there whenever they’re outside. They don’t spend much time in there but it’s nice when they’re outside and get hot but they don’t want to come back in the house yet.)

When we had the two dog houses, we bought new dog beds for the girls. Tiki, though, had other ideas. She decided to redecorate and move the beds out on the porch itself…

…but they still weren’t quite right. They need a little more nudging…

Finally, success!

    Too funny! My boyfriend’s dog Duncan is a bed re-arranger, too :) My BF asked me one day if I had moved the dog bed in the living room as it was across the room from where it usually was … but still up against the wall. I started to answer just as Duncan snagged it and moved it a little farther, then settled in. It’s nice (or at least entertaining) to have a four-legged interior designer in the house, isn’t it? :)

    What a great little decorator! Our dogs must have things just their way, don’t they? :)

    It was fun to look back at the old photos (and surprising how much they’ve grown!!)

    She’s so funny…she likes to rearrange the pillows on the bed, too! Now if I could just get her interested in vacuuming… ;)

    Tiki has a lot of decorating opinions! (I think it’s from watching too many of those HGTV shows with me…)
