The house is so quiet

Chase was with us since Monday and to be honest, I got used to having him around the house.  We have to watch him to make sure he doesn’t get eaten up!!  Chase loves to lick Ranger and Cooper’s face.  Each time he gets carried away with his licking DB and I will have to move him away from the big guys.  We think Ranger almost got him, we didn’t personally see it, but Chase was scurrying away from Ranger in the backyard.  I did see him licking and kept licking Ranger, but Ranger being the mellow one just moved his head left, right, down and up.  Maybe Ranger had enough of it and growled at him or something.  We don’t know, but that little fella was running away yelping for awhile and then he was back to his normal self.

*See the three scars on Chase’s snout?*

*Chase – waiting to go meet his friends next door*

*Chase and Coops.  Look at Chase’s legs, he is going to be a big boy*

SD and BF came to pick him up this evening.  It was so funny seeing Chase watching DB fold his kennel up.  (We put his kennel in our room – all 5 of us in the room.)  He wanted to get in to his kennel and followed DB to the front door with the kennel where DB left it there for SD to pick up.  I got Chase’s leash and collar to the entryway, too.  That cute little guy thought he was going some where.  Kept going back and forth from the dining room to the front door.  Man, he is so darn cute.  

Our neighbor, Margie has a Golden Retriever (Shadow) and a Beagle mixed Collie (Rocky).  Chase loves running along the fence line with the two.  He is getting so big for a 3 month old.   Oh, we saw Chase starting to dig along the fence when the other two dogs are out there.  I told DB probably he is digging to get over the fence to play with the other dogs. 

The day Chase got here he was quite skeptical of Cooper.  I threw the ball for him, he had to look at Cooper first, i suppose to make sure Cooper is not going for it.  I think he is getting there, he is learning.  Last evening, he started going for the squiggy ball that only Ranger plays with.  And today, he went for Coopers plastic frisbee.  Cooper let him have it, which was so cute to watch.   The frisbee was on the ground, Chase was standing next to it about to pick it up but Coops was about two feet away from the frisbee.  Chase looked at Cooper, Cooper looked at him and then at the frisbee and finally walked away.  Chase grabbed it and went galloping happily away, flinged it, pick it up and again and again he did it.

Spring is defenitely here.  The last drop of snow disappeared yesterday with temps up to 67F.  The above picture was taken on Sunday, the boys cooling off after their walk in the evening.  They were panting so much when they got home.  They actually asked to go out and that was what they did – laid on the snow. 

This was last evening – no more snow and that means big time allergy season for Ranger.  he is already scratching and chewing his paws.  DB is taking him to the vet tomorrow.  Poor Ranger.

Ok, that’s it for tonight.  See why I have not been blogging, I have Mr Chase to play with every night.  I missed him.
