Today is the first day my kids know a world without Ollie in it, and I can’t even begin to tell you how sad that makes me. ollie007I brought this little fur ball home, despite protests from Scott and despite the fact I didn’t have the money to spend on him. I charged him. The second I walked in with him, he stole everyone’s heart, including Scott’s. He was the best stupid financial decision I ever made.ollie008I was beside myself as a first time momma and he went everywhere with me. ollie009When the human babies came, Ollie freaked out just a bit, then accepted the change and embraced it. ollie010It’s always nice to have your own chauffeur, I guess.20081109_36561More kids, just meant more loving, and Ollie made room in his heart for Jackson, although I think he was hoping this was going to be it as far as human babies.20081109_3663cSo, today we lost our Ollie and that makes for a sad, sad day.  I have to agree with Christian, losing your dog is like losing all your very best friends. We are going to miss our Ollie-hondro, but the good part is all his hurts are gone and he’s probably in heaven right now playing chase with Dixie. Damn, I’m going to miss this dog!20080415-1-1

She won’t actually look at me when I have the camera in my hand, but she still looks pretty. Ollie thinks so, too.

20081204_0200It could happen.

I explained how we got Ollie at a store, and never met his parents, so I guessed that Scott and I were his Mom and Dad. That seemed like a perfectly fine explanation for him.
20081109_3656Later, this afternoon, we decided to give Ollie a bath. Jackson loves to help bathe the dogs, so of course he was right there to lend a hand. After we washed him, and toweled him off, he briefly got away into the back yard. We caught him and brought him back to get under the blow dryer. While I dried, Jackson was brushing and asking lots of questions.
20081109_3648Jackson: Mom, why does Ollie have brown hair?

Me: Well, probably because his Momma or Daddy had it.

Jackson: Oh, you mean back when y’all were dogs?

Me: Ummmm, yeah!20081109_3660

Pretty easy, huh? It’s someone’s sniffer, right? But, you couldn’t possibly know whose. About 10 or 11 years ago, we can’t agree which, I, and my boyfriend at the time, got a baby, our first bundle of joy. We were still dating at the time…I know, not ideal, but these things happen every day and work out fine. We are totally ok with that. I guess I should clarify that I got a baby. My boyfriend, now husband, had no knowledge of this until I brought the baby home, I mean to his house, all wrapped up in a blanky. Ok, these are all just silly details, none of which should concern anyone, because the happiness that followed far overshadows everything else. So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce my first-born…Ollie.20080416-(1)wOkay, so I didn’t carry him around in my belly for 9 months, and he isn’t of the human variety, but he is soooooo my baby. This is Ollie now, trying to get a few Z’s in on the couch before the kids get home from school. He looks a little annoyed because I’m taking his picture while he’s trying to sleep. He is the cutest llhasa apso I’ve ever seen, and don’t even bring up mommy goggles. He’s so stinkin’ cute, you gotta admit it. Now, like our other canine baby, he has some quirks. Thankfully he can’t reach countertops, or bums for that matter, and he hardly sheds at all, but he is scared of a lot of things. No really, the list is endless; balloons, flashlights, any toy that makes noise, thunder, lightning, wind, duck calls, come to think of it, those kinda scare me, too. Terrified of the vacuum, firecrackers, and oh my, don’t even show him the flash on your camera. He’ll probably lose his lunch right there. Quirks and all, he is a sweetie. My children have never known a life without Ollie, and honestly I can’t really remember one without him either. How can you not love a face like that??
20080416 (2) I think that face means ‘please don’t bring home any more babies…’
