Happy Anniversary

Today is Rudy’s second anniversary living with us. We are so blessed to have him and we planned a party to celebrate the occasion. Ken went to the pet store to buy toys and I got a bag of sweet potato chews. Rudy knew the pet shop bag as soon as it came into the house and wanted it right away. He had to wait until this morning at the lake house. He kept an eye on the bag all day yesterday on the cabinet in the garage and couldn’t wait to get to the toys this morning. Ken bought two toys so we would have peace in the house: a soft fuzzy octopus and an Air Kong shaped like a barbell. Rudy love both of them. Emme seems partial to the Air Kong. We had a party with tea and pumpkin bread for us and sweet potato chews for the dogs. Emme loved her chewie and chewed for a LONG time without making a lot of progress. Rudy loved his and is such a strong chewer that he shattered the chew into many little pieces and gulped them all down. I took Emme’s away from her after about a half hour and put it into the refrigerator. When we got back to Wooster this afternoon, I gave it to her in my sewing room. She chewed another half hour and finally ate the whole thing. I think they are better chews for Emme than for Rudy so I may put the bag in the closet in my sewing room. Emme is starting to come upstairs with me and staying in my sewing room with the door closed while I sew or work on the computer. This will keep the chewies away from Rudy and let her have one once in a while.
