Woody and Katie Mildred Love the Park!

Woody (fka Zinger) and Katie Mildred (fka Mildred) enjoying a photo break!

Katie Mildred (CP Mildred) and Woody (CP Zinger) are great together!  They are often walking side by side on our walks, and they follow each other in the back yard.  I took these pictures when we recently went to the park.  It is a favorite since it involves a short car ride then a walk - with loads of great sniffs!  I love the 2^nd picture where Woody seems to be whispering in Katie’s ear!

“Hey!  Pssssst!   You’re supposed to Sit for pictures!”

The squirrels are not as plentiful in our yard now.  The word is out that Katie the terrier- ist is out to get them!

These two eat together and politely wait their turn for treats.  One day I came home and Katie was up on the couch with Woody, and he was fine with it.  She has a hard time getting up because her legs are short.  I was amazed to see her take a running leap, to get on the couch!

They don't chase each other around the yard, but I did see them playing tug of war with Katie's squirrel.  Woody still does not understand when Katie bumps him and kisses his mouth that she is trying to get him to play.  

They both great children and adults with wagging tails!  Very sweet!  Katie goes up to big dogs to check them out, but Woody usually hides behind me - although, he has made friend with one big dog!  

These pups bring us lots of pleasure and laughs!  Thanks so much for taking such good care of them!

Mildred Shakes up the Sunshine State!

Mildred getting ready to launch as Katie Mildred

Katie Mildred (fka CP’s Mildred) is a busy girl!  She has already gotten Woody (fka CP’s Zinger) running in the back yard, chasing squirrels. Woody is now sleeping on the couch.  He is worn out!

I brought Katie in to take a rest from running in the back yard, but she went right out the dog door!  She was shown that door twice and is already an expert!

She loves running after squirrels!  Woody runs after her and they search the bushes together.  The lizards are in there running around as well.  The neighbors well has a broken pipe, so there is water in our back yard. Guess where Katie was?  Laying in that water, cooling off!  It is warm today about 75.  Looks like she may like swimming in the Summer.

I thought this was an old dog?  She has more energy than Woody!

Woody tolerates her well, although he keeps looking at me to be reassured.  I have been giving him lots of attention so he doesn't get jealous.  I noticed Woody pushed ahead of her to go in the door first.

Day two, Katie was awake at 5 AM, ready to go.  I took her out to pee and then hoped she would sleep for a while.  Oh no, she told me to look at her schedule, it was time for breakfast!  So I gave her breakfast.  Then she told me she goes back to bed, and she did.

Funny how they are such creatures of habit!

Katie Mildred discovers some Sunshine State Squirrels!

Katie just came in the dog door.  She greeted me happily and laid down, and now is finally resting after all morning of running.... 

All is well.

Again, thank you Col. Potter Volunteers for taking care of Mildred and providing a wonderful home when she needed it so badly!
