Queeny & Novelle

Well, Novelle escaped again.  She slipped right between my legs as I was trying to go out to the garage.  My first instinct was to freak out, because she wasn't wearing a leash...how would I catch her!?  But then I thought of how well she listens when I call her in from her potty breaks, so I put on my cheerful voice and called her to come back.  Sure enough, she did!  It was a very happy moment for both of us!  She definitely earned herself a treat for that!

Yesterday was bath day.  I was going to work my way from smallest to largest, but as soon as Hardy hears the word "bath," he takes off for cover.  And Novelle followed me into the bathroom when I was setting up, so she ended up going first.  It was her first bath with me.  She was terrified.  I have glass doors on my shower, so I thought I could close them enough so that I could reach in but she wouldn't be able to jump out...I was wrong.  I ended up having to roll up my pants and climb in with her.  She calmed down a bit with me in there, but the poor girl was still scared.  She was very good about letting me lather her up, though.  She lifts her paws when I ask her to and she loved getting the free back and tummy rub!  As soon as I opened the shower doors to let her out, she was out!  Luckily I had also planned ahead and shut the bathroom door, so she was stuck in there with me until I could dry her off. 

 Here's my girl showing me she still loves me after I made her take a bath!

Queeny, on the other hand, actually loved getting her bath.  She stood right in the middle of the tub and let me spray her, lather her, and rinse her with no problems.  I sure did learn how much hair she has though!

Some bonus pictures:

 Queeny and Novelle in their nightly sleeping spots.  Novelle is laying on my slippers, and Queeny is in my nightstand cubby.  Hardy is sleeping in his bed just on the other side of the nightstand.  Speaking of Hardy's bed...

Novelle attempted to sleep in it last night.  Read on for comparisons of Novelle's & Hardy's sizes for why I thought this was cute and funny...

 Hardy in his bed (and my boy, Irvine! Also on my slippers...is there something wonderful about my slippers?).  Do you see a difference in Novelle's and Hardy's sizes?

And not a great picture for this purpose, but this gives a bit of an idea on size comparison among Novelle, Queeny, and Hardy.
