Thanks to Comedy Plus for hosting Awww Mondays.
Achilles and Ella went home with their dad yesterday. They were so thrilled to see him that they forgot to say goodbye. But we have precious memories of their time here with us.
Achilles is fighting severe allergies. He was recently allergy tested and has the sea rum (serum) like Xena. When we could monitor him closely, he didn’t have to wear his hood (cone) or Rambo suit.
When all 80 pound plopped down on you, you felt it. Xena usually stays pretty close to her Mommy, so care had to be taken that he didn’t plop down on top of her when he also wanted to be close. Such a sweet, happy boy. He wiggles all over, and just wants to be loved.
This is Xena greeting Achilles (after she stopped barking at him).
Ella and Achilles also liked the same chair in the living room. Maybe it was because of the “guard” schnauzer on the pillow watching over them.
Achilles Ella
That’s where Ella slept most nights, with the blanket her mama made her under and over her.
The pictures below show what close friends Ella and Lucy are. It took 1.5 seconds for this wonderful relationship to begin.
Oh, and for those who asked, yes, Achilles did get his time back in the home office after Xena ran him off. He even got his “hood” or cone off for a while.

For now we will say adieu, with hopes next time comes sooner rather than later.

You all had a fun time…and got to know your doggy cousins better…its fun, but a lot of chivvying for the best spot(s)…BOL!
Now your life can get back to being regular and normal…well, what ever *that* means! BOL!
Our ‘Oma’ used to love having a houseful of (people) company, but then she would breathe a sigh of relief when they would leave…and then she would c/o it being way too quiet.

Well, Mom only has one lap and 2 sides, so someone always got left out. Once, Achilles (80 pounds) tried to crawl up into Dad’s lap in a chair when Mom’s real estate ran out.

We are glad you enjoyed reading about it, and wish you could have been here too. Wait, what, Mom? You might have run away from home if there was one more dog in the house needing something and following you into the bathroom? BOL, we know she’s just kidding, isn’t she? XOX Xena and Lucy
