So I thought I would introduce our other children to the people who don’t know them yet. Billie Jean is my chihuahua and I consider her my first-born :), she is 7 years old and the sweetest chihuahua that you will ever meet. She is very well socialized with people and isn’t really considered to be one of the biting, yippy, yappy Chihuahuas. Although she is a dog she has been there with me through a lot of pain, joy and heartbreak. Whenever I thought I wouldn’t make it through another day she was there. Some people don’t understand the love that an animal can give a person, it is hard to explain to someone, it is one of those things that you just have to experience for yourself.
Billie Jeans favorite things to do; sleep, sun bathe, twirl around, eat cheese, play with Lilly’s stuffed animals and sleep next to Lilly at night because she is so warm.
Charlie is the other member of our family and the star if you will. He is a border collie mix I believe he is 2 or 3yrs old have to check with Eddie. Eddie met Charlie when he was a puppy in Iraq, they become close buddies over there. Eddie was on a mission to bring Charlie home with him, he went through a lot to bring him back. With the help of Terri Crisp a SPCA worker, Eddie was able to bring Charlie home to the US. Charlie and Eddie have also made it possible for other soldiers to bring their animal companions home with them. I can’t imagine being over there and what they went through. I’m just glad that Charlie was there to cheer up Eddie and the other troops during a time of war. Now Charlie is taking agility classes to get his extra energy out and he loves being a big brother. Stop by and read Charlie’s Tale http://www.spcai.org/baghdad-pups.html
Charlies favorite things to do are; play, bark, run, sleep on the bed in front of the fan on hot days, eat, go on walks (which we haven’t been doing that much lately 
), eat stuffed animals, and giving Lilly kisses

Aaaawww. cute! I wish we could have a dog, yet I have some allergies. Ayanna LOVES dogs.
You asked if those ornaments were hard to make. NO! they are foam balls and left over materials that are put in the ball with a knife. I should make a more detailed post about them as I received more emails with questions.
re you decorating your yet?
No we haven’t really decorated here. We have put up some Christmas tree lights on a plant that we have outside, but that is about it. We are actually going to be driving across the country, we live in Arizona and will be drving to spend Christmas with my family in North Carolina. Since we are traveling we didn’t really put a tree or any decorations up in the house
. I missed the fun of decorating this year, but at least we won’t have to come home after the New Year and clean up, I guess that is a way to look at it.
