Chloe was looking out the window waiting for kids to come to the door.
See Angela in the window.
The three girls ready to go out.
Chloe didn’t keep her skirt on very long.
We only had about 20 kids come to the door. The girls and I went around the neighbourhood and they got a lot of “take what you want, we haven’t had very many kids”.
It’s been awhile since we have done a Chloe update. She is still growing and keeping us busy.
She loves playing with her margarine container. She is getting better with the shoes, we don’t have to hide them in the closet as often.
She is going to the groomers next week and then the week after she is going in to get spayed.
Chloe has been practicing for Halloween.
Chloe seems to think that her bed has an invisibility cloak around it. Whenever she grabs something that she shouldn’t have she runs to her bed. Here she is with one of Claudia’s stuffed animals.
We headed out to Hamilton to Lori’s to introduce Chloe to Mickey and Nike.

Later on Barney showed up, he is Dale’s Moms dog. You can see Chloe hiding out under Angela’s legs.

Today was bath day for Chloe, I thought why not take her for a good run, get her tired out and then give her a bath. We headed over to the Meadowvale Conservation Area not far from the house. The girls found a sloth tree (a tree which allows them to hang like a sloth).
There was lots of open space for Chloe to run around. We stayed clear of the GINA picnic. GINA is short for “Greyhounds In Need of Adoption”. It is an organization that tries to find homes for retired racing Greyhounds.
We stayed clear of the Hogweed. It looks like giant Queen Annes Lace, the sap is bad news if it gets on human skin.
We remembered there “use to be” a bridge to cross over the river.
It wasn’t very nice down by the river, lots of broken glass and beer bottles.
We were teaching Chloe her name.
Some of the leaves are starting to change already.
We found another path to the river and when Claudia stepped towards it, the ground moved. It was a garter snake that freaked her out. Later I started stopping on the ground and he started to slither away.
Claudia poking around for more snakes.
Chloe was tired out after our walk, she decided she was going to lie down in the shade.
The girls with Chloe.
We headed back home and started to get her bath ready. It wasn’t her favourite thing, she looked like the drowned rat.
Here she is shaking away in the backyard. She looked pretty good afterwards.
Of course she was rolling around in the rocks and grass as soon as she got the chance.
A few pictures of Chloe from during the week. She turned 10 weeks on Friday.
She loves her bucket.
Angela and Chloe.
Chloe playing frisbee with Angela or also known as chewing.
An action shot of Chloe running around the backyard in a frenzy.
Loki from next door trying to get a closer look at the furball running around.
Sometimes she poops herself out and plops down on the grass for a snooze.
Is she really asleep? or pretending?
Can you tell where she has been, perhaps the yellow petal from the black eye susan’s gives it away.
Getting belly rubs from Claudia.
Chloe with her rawhide stogie.
Another of her favourite toys outside.
Angela did well at the dentist, she had a few tears but she was brave. Here she is after coming home with her puffy lips and cheeks. Some Tylenol and some Chloe cuddles and she was on the road to recovery.
When Chloe can’t find the girls, she thinks they are upstairs, so she’ll sit at the bottom of the stairs and bark. I made a gate for the stairs to keep her on the main floor. She hasn’t ventured through the hole in the door to the basement, the odd time she will poke her head through, it’s only a matter of time.
Whenever I get down on the ground to take her picture she comes running for the strap on my camera.
Besides pooping, peeing and playing she likes to sleep and she can sleep anywhere. Here she is stretched out on my legs.
She also has no trouble curling up or stretching out on the couch.
Chloe’s house training is going pretty good, she has the odd accident, but we are all learning.
She loves the backyard, and loves running into the back garden much to Susan’s dismay. We keep carrying her out.
Her is Chloe carrying the watering can.
And her she is with her popcorn pail.
She is a good puppy and fitting in just fine, or should I say we’re fitting in just fine with her.
Back from the west coast and happy to be home. According to Susan and the girls, Chloe did pretty good this past week adjusting her her new home. I could see a difference in her size from last week. Chloe went to the vets on Wednesday and she checked out okay. She goes back next week for her second shot and then she can start going for walks a week later. We’re still puppy proofing the backyard, one night she managed to get under the deck and create havoc for those on the deck. They coaxed her out with some treats and Lars, Grandma and Claudia were able to block off the holes.
