Remi & Monster (4.26 It's been so long, New Pictures!)

[Margie-Rex's Mom]

Eskimo is very smart...he found the sun spot in Remi's crate!! He looks very content in there! But poor Remi...

I do love the photo of Monster with Eskimo. And Remi covered in coupons. I used to do the same thing to Rex. Funny how they will let us do that...

Ashley, I have missed so much by being without my internet since the 5th!

Oh my goodness, I do love all of the photos. I apologize for calling Ziggy a "she". Now I'll remember that Remi is the only "Princess" in the household.

Elliot is going to really enjoy the photos! You know how much he loves Monster. Remi is amusing, as RJM pointed out, with her "extreme couponing".

I love your fur family, and what a terrific Cat Tree, or Kitty Condo for Ziggy and Eskimo Jo.

Ashley you have a beautiful fur family ! Remi has really grow . She is a very pretty dog. Monster is adorable also. Beautiful cat s all in all a wonderful bunch!

Something is up with Remi. In the last few weeks something -I don't know what- has been scaring her and after whatever it is that scares her for the rest of the day she is just terrified of everything. When this happens her tail will be tucked under her butt, her back legs will be shaking so much she can barely stand, her eyes will be bug-eyed and she will also be panting.

Remi is already timid in general so this is just making things more difficult.
Is there something I could do to give her more confidence so she will be less timid or not at all? Maybe that might help with the mystery scarey source?
I wish I knew what it is! I'm even with her and looking at her when she gets scared by something and I don't see anything out of the ordinary around. Maybe it's a smell?

She's not letting me clip her nails at all anymore so it looks like we're going to have to get them done at the vet. Which I'm not a big fan of because they'll have to sedate her but it NEEDS to be done.
This is mainly a rant of frustration.

Happy Holidays!

MERRY CHRISTMAS Ashley, Remi & Monster!
Awww, this is a time when it would be handy if dogs can talk so Remi can tell you whats scaring her. Poor thing. Hopefully she stops getting spooked 'cause being scared all day doesn't sound pleasant.
GIVE HER A BIG HUG FROM ME PLEASE! Also for Monster too.

[remsleep]

She hasn't had an episode of being scared for the last week, so whatever it was it's either gone or she got over it.
However she is a little weary of garbage cans now because she knocked one over on a walk awhile ago. She doesn't act scared towards them just giving them space so they don't fall over on her.


It snowed last night. Remi is so happy, Monster is anything but enthused. We went through most of December without snow so I wonder if this snow is even going to last.

Also.
Monster had his 5th birthday on December 29th!
It's hard to believe that he is already 5!

Hi Ashley, I was just thinking about you, as we hadn't heard from you in a couple weeks.
Maybe Remi is hearing something that's scaring her. My Joey used to be terrified of thunder, guns, fireworks, etc. He would get terrified, from what seemed out of nowhere, and I'm pretty sure it was something I couldn't hear.

Monster is FIVE!! What a big boy he is...LOL!!
Happy 5th Birthday, Monster

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY MONSTER ♥

He is certainly growing up! I hope he had a wonderful birthday on the 29th.

Happy New Year Ashley! I am wishing the best of everything in 2012!

RJM, I think it just might be some sound I can't hear. Yesterday Remi got a little scared of the sounds the wind was making when it blew against the front door.
Last week we were busy remolding our bathroom! We had a leak in the bathtub which led to a big hole in the floor.
Ziggy found a new bed...

once the back tank was put on he didn't want to lay in it anymore...perhaps he realized what it was.

Monster sleeps with his tongue hanging out quite a bit.


Here's the a video I took on Jan. 1st.

I went to bring the dogs for their morning walk and Remi was surprised by all the snow so she zoomed around in excitement. Monster just was wanting to go for the walk and get over with it.

That's a winterwonderland you have there! The cat in the toilet, that is so funny. Monster is soooo sweet and Happy belated 5th birthday to him!

[Margie-Rex's Mom]

Aww!! Cute photo of sleeping Monster! And your kitty in the toilet is adorable.

Remi certainly is one very happy excited puppy running around in the snow. She looks so happy!

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

I am in Monster and Remi heaven, as well as Ziggy too! Your backyard looks lovely covered in snow, and certainly has a lot of room for the dogs to run. Monster is so funny going to the gate and then realizing IT isn't going to happen. Remi is just enjoying being a dog in the snow.

Good luck with the Bathroom remodel. Ziggy obviously has to find a new home! I think it's rather amusing that until the tank went on the back, Ziggy thought that was a lovely spot to rest.

I always look forward to your posts, and am never disappointed. Elliot and I both loved the one of Monster, relaxing with his tongue out. He is just too cute!

[remsleep]

We're done with the remodeling for the most part. Right now we're just doing all the finishing touches.

This has been happening lately at night.

[RubyJeansMom]

Ashley, How sweet is that? ♥
I wish my dogs would sleep in a pile, but Kessler has a "no touching" rule. He can be touching another dog, as long as he initiates it, but they'd better not touch him first...LOL!

Ziggy looks so comfy in his new bed, before he found out what it really was.

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

How adorable are they?! There is warmth in numbers. Remi is such a good girl, and clearly loves everyone as she is totally surrounded.

RJM, Kessler is a funny fellow!

Oliver and Henry cuddle together quite often, especially under my desk. Sometimes, it's hard to tell where one begins and the other one ends. It wasn't always that way though.

Lovely photos Ashley!
