Bojangles has company for 6 weeks

Zabie arrives from Texas!
Zabie is shaking here and won't move from my lap as we head home from the airport. The day traveling has him all nervous.
Look at Bojangles... he is NOT happy with this new visitor! His face says it all.
Eating time is interesting...they are curious about what the other one eats so they swap bowls halfway thru.All my furniture is now covered with slipcovers. Not pretty but its a must with these mutts!

My Mom's dog Zabie has come to stay with us for 6 weeks while she is in Europe. We weren't quite sure what to expect from Bojangles with this intruder in his puppy world. The first few days were terrible. Bojangles was very jealous by us giving Zabie any attention and he would start growling when Zabie got too close to him. Every movement was followed by a growl. We were afraid to leave them alone so we always put Zabie in his crate. But on day 4 we had a breakthru! I caught them rolling around on the bed playing and cleaning each others coats. I nearly died. We are now all getting along!!

Minor mishap

Bojangles has been accompanying Chris and myself to work. We bring him into our office and shut the door. We bring his bed with us and this guy can just chill for hours. He doesn't make a sound. When our door is shut, our coworkers come into our office to pet Bojangles and say hi. He really is a good dog. Well Bojangles was wingman to Chris last weekend. Chris had to go put up some for sale signs of new listings we got. Bojangles was in the car watching Chris put the for sale sign up. It was a chilly day so Chris left the car running with the heater on. Well, Bojangles is up on the ledge of the car window just watching Chris. He accidentally hit the car lock button!!! OK what are the odds of that first of all. Secondly, what are the odds Bojangles can do it again to unlock the car doors?? Chris tries everything to get our dog to step on the window ledge again in the exact place we need him too. No luck. So Chris calls me and of course, we don't have a spare key. Chris then calls On Star. While waiting for On Star, I decide to come help him try to get Bojangles to unlock the door. Oh what a funny sight we were getting Bojangles all excited and trying to get him to put his paw on the unlock button. Well 45 minutes later, he finally managed to hit a button that worked, the window!! He hit the right window enough that we could get a hanger thru it to unlock the running car. We gave Bojangles lots of loves since he saved the day. Oh we love our dog!! He just cracks us up. Everyday is an adventure with him!! We kept joking afterwards how Bojangles locked Papi out of his car.

Halloween Football game

Taco stand that is crazy busy around midnight. It was my first time going and as much as I hate to admit it, it was actually pretty tasty. These guys LOVE this place and frequent it often. I was making fun of it until we got there. I wont make my roasted rat jokes anymore.
A sick pumpkin :(
The black frosting turned my teeth gray for hours!
Another Ute win!
Candy was everywhere....I was in heaven.
My friend Leesa
