Getting Ready for Guests!

Here I am getting ready for guests. I was just putting my old froggie toy away in the toy basket so My Lady can get the carpet cleaned. That is one of the last steps allowing a day or so for laundry and rest before they come. Her son J, his wife V, Ashton and Damien will be here on Friday for the whole weekend, leaving on Monday. We are so excited to have them come. Of course, part of the time I am closed up in the bedroom for a time out because the three-year old loves to chase me, tries to hug me, and just thinks I am a toy. Well, I AM a toy teacup yorkshire terrier, but it is hard for me to be chased and dragged around so My Lady watches over me very well. Ashton is older and doesn't bother me too much, but the little one, who is three, just doesn't understand how fragile I am even though My Lady says I am really as tough and feisty as a bull dog; nevertheless, she takes very good care of me and prevents me from getting too worn out. Dragon Hawke and Gabriel are bigger and can manage better, but being only four pounds, the boys like to pick me up and hold me often, and I get tired, so My Lady says, "Kheldar needs a nap now." Then I get to go lie on her bed and snooze for a while. Very nice! I am excited to see them and they are getting better about letting me just sit on their laps and be still; however, they are still young. I remember that I pestered the other dogs when I was just a pup, too. Got to get the rest of my toys picked up now. Write more tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Much Better Today!

Went for our walk and did NOT get locked in the garage. Boy, I was really out with the others and ran up the stairs really quick. I was not going to get left behind again. I am really enjoying my carrots this morning, and My Lady has been petting me a great deal, too. I know she feels terrible that she left me in the garage; however, I usually run right out with Dragon Hawke, the Papillion, and with Gabriel, the Chinese Crested Puff and dash up the stairs, but yesterday I just was poking around in the garage. Of course, I am dark gray almost black and when the light is out in the garage, I can just blend right in so she did not see me and WHAM! I was locked inside and had to stay there for a long time alone and no breakfast. When she did finally find me, I was sure glad to get out of there and back in my nice apartment. I am going to go lie on my pillow for a while, but after I eat my carrots. Oh, it is good to be where I belong. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Going for a Walk!

I think I am not only going for a walk here, but I may be walking back to our older blog: Kheldar's Yorkie Blog. com. It does seem like it is an easier one to use and find, and I just can't keep doing two blogs every day. I getting ready to have more company soon. Great Lady and Great Sir are coming and they really keep us busy. Of course, they are going to be moving furniture, hanging all the pictures and paintings, and just making things hum around here for a couple of weeks. I will be so busy that I may not even be able to do one blog. Love to have them come, but oh, my, it is different. They are the very busiest older folks that I have ever seen. They will be celebrating 58 years of marriage in a couple of months. They have to close up their tiny little cottage in South Dakota because it is getting cold there already and then they drive down to Arkansas to see relatives, and to Nashville to see the great grandsons and grand children, of course, then come to see us on their way back to Florida. Think of that! Well, here's until tomorrow. I will try to write then. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Back to Normal!

I think things are getting back to normal now after the wonderful weekend we had with the family. I will say, however, it will take us all a while to get back the sleep we lost, waiting up for them to arrive after they got lost on the trip, sitting at night watching movies, talking to catch up on all the news, and playing computer games. I don't play the games, you understand, but My Lady and Gentle Sir played with the children, after the grand children went to bed. Of course, then I could be up and watch what was going on, and it was very exciting. Now I am still tired though and will have to catch up on my sleep for a while to make up for lost time. Gee it was fun and we were glad they came to visit. Now I can go back to playing with my toys, especially my favorite one. The old octopus leg is still hanging in there, despite all the shaking I give it. Still have a few of the legs left. An interesting toy it was even though now it is in separate pieces. Have you found my other blog? Kheldar's Yorkie blog.com? Someday I might try to have only that one instead of two; however, for now I am repeating both blogs with the same data. Let me know. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

A Quiet Sunday!

Today is a nice quiet day and everyone is home. I do like Sundays. Even when My Lady and Gentle Sir go to church, shop on the way home, it still is a nice quiet day afterward, and we enjoy our time of rest. I like my pillow. Gabriel is on his gray pillow, and Dragon Hawke is on the back of the big chair. Of course, the TV is on, but they usually leave it on a good movie without ads while they are gone so we are not "alone." Then, My Lady enjoys a good movie with Gentle Sir unless it is football season. Of course, the special NFL pregame is on tonight, so they will most likely watch that. I know Great Sir, who is in South Dakota, will watch that tonight, too. He really loves all football games, from college to pros. Then, after the game or the next day at the latest, My Lady and her dad talk football for a good long while. It is nice and peaceful though now. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Going for a Walk!

Here we are going for a walk. You can see Dragon Hawke, the Papillion, on the left and Gabriel, the Chinese Crested Puff on the right, and, if you look real hard, there I am again, in the middle. We were not moving along, so I was looking backward to see where My Lady was. This time, Gentle Sir was with her so they had stopped to look at something. I knew things were different. They just mosey along when they are together walking us. When My Lady is alone, she just moves right along, and we walk like she did when she lived in Germany, many years ago. They called it a "volk's march," or something like that. She is all business, but when they walk together, it is more of a stroll. I like that, especially since I am so small and my legs are short. I really have to run most of the time while the other two just meander along. Well, this will be a nice stroll today. Looking forward to it. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

A Difference!

Notice the difference: I am a little spot on the pillow on the big chair, snuggled into the pillows, and Dragon Hawke, the Papillion, is on top of the back of the chair as high as he can get. He loves to be on top of everything. I look like a little gray spot and sometimes even snuggle under the pillow a bit if I am chilly. Of course, if possible, I would rather be sitting on My Lady's lap. Dragon Hawke, however, would prefer to sit on her shoulder. He is so funny. Hard to believe this is the beginning of August already. Whee! Gentle Sir will be home all day tomorrow and Sunday. Gabriel will be especially happy about that. Have a nice weekend. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Good Carrots!

Glad My Lady is feeling better, and I am back on my routine again. I have had my big meal of dry food, and when I am finished eating it, I go to see My Lady who will give me a little carrot. They are small, but so am I. I usually get three carrots, one at a time and must finish one before I get the next one. Gosh, they are sure good--just good fresh, crispy carrots. No wonder I have such a shiny coat and sparkling eyes! Dragon Hawke seems fine today, but still is pouting over losing what he thought was a providential meal. Sometimes what we think is just terrific can turn out to be very bad for us. Glad My Lady knows which is which. She says that the Lord provides and watches over us. If she says so, it is true. I am glad the Lord got me into her care though. I am sure blessed. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Here We Are in Bed Alone!

Here we dogs are in the big bed alone. I am happy to say that My Lady is taking a shower and is able to be up and around a bit. She won't be lifting things or scrubbing, but her back is somewhat better, and she does not have to stay in bed. You can hardly see me on the big bed because I am so small, and we are in the midst of all the roses. If you look hard, in the midst of all the flowers, you can see Gabriel and Dragon Hawke, too. My Lady loves roses and has silk ones in pretty vases, pink ones here on the bed spread, small rosy ones embroidered in the sofa and chair upholstery, and even big red ones on the shower curtain. She loves the fragrance of roses and has perfume that smells just like the rose garden Great Lady used to have at her old house. She no longer has real ones because the roses do not like to grow well in the hot, humid weather in Florida, where she and Great Sir live now. Great Lady decided to get silk roses, too, that are easier than growing real ones. They sure don't smell as good though. I am so happy My Lady is doing better. I am taking very good care of her and know she will be just fine soon. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Our New Rugs in the Kitchen!

My Lady has been very busy laying down these two runners in the kitchen. Here I am and Gabriel trying to show you the new rugs. Since this apartment has a special new flooring in the kitchen, that was recently installed, that room now is very nice. My Lady wanted to put down runners on top of the hard-finished floor by the sink and stove so it would not be slippery. She and Gentle Sir found some runner padding to make it easier to stand on as well. Yesterday, she worked hard to get everything lined up just right, and it is wonderful. We had to go sit in the living room and just watch so we would not be under foot while she was getting it all lined up because it had to be just perfect. That is the way My Lady is. I wanted to help, but just seemed to get in the way, but she got it done and then we decided to pose to show you how nice it looks. Say, we are really getting things in much better order and liking it here a great deal. Isn't this a good picture? Dragon Hawke was upset because he missed out on the photo shot. I will have to get one of him tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Here I Am in the New Apartment!

Here I am lying on the almost white carpet in our new apartment. Goodness, it is hard to believe that we have such pretty carpeting! My Lady will have a lot of cleaning to do because no matter how careful we are, we always bring in dirt on our paws. However, I am reminded that we have the big stairway up to our paradise, and since that is dark gray carpeting, we may lose part of the dirt there. By the time we are up in the apartment, our paws should be pretty clean. Hooray! We had a hard time in our other place because we came right in off the sidewalk and grassy area into the house and onto the rug. When it was fall, we usually brought in leaves and other debris that hung on to our fur. Gabriel was always a mess because he has even more fur on his paws than either Dragon Hawke or I do since he is a Chinese Crested Puff. I have a new photo of him I will share with you tomorrow. I do like the furry look better than the bare skin of the usual Cresteds. My Lady brushes us but can't do it every time we come in, so I am glad again to have the big stairway. More tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Today, the Movers Are Here!

I am in here, too, even though you can't see me, along with Dragon Hawke, the black and while Papillion, and Gabriel, the Chinese Crested Puff, locked in the bathroom for the day while the movers are packing My Lady's possessions. Of course, Gentle Sir is here, too, getting his things packed, along with ours. I know I will go for a walk once in a while, but this is a big day, and I have been told we three dogs have to stay out of the way. My Lady packed all the things from the bathroom yesterday, so then she could tell the movers to take everything out of the apartment, but they had to stay out of the bathroom where we are today. We have another bathroom for guests, but this one is ours.

Of course, we can rest up today because tomorrow we shall be on the road. Whee! We are going in the car, and I love to ride in the car with My Lady, and with all the extra boxes that have to go with us while the movers drive our things to St. Louis, Missouri. I have never been there, so I am looking forward to seeing our new home.

As I told you, My Lady and Gentle Sir had to look very hard to find a suitable apartment that would take three very small dogs. Imagine! There were places that would not have us. Maybe someday when they find out how outstanding we are, even have our own blog, they will wish they did have us celebrities staying in their apartments, but My Lady said we will really love our new place. I will have to tell you all about it as we travel and move in on Monday if all goes as planned. Tell all your dog-lover friends about my blog. Hope you like it. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.
