This week's 52 Project was "In Their Element". I got thinking about all the gorgeous little things my Alf & Jers do that make them so special but Jersey went & made up her own little story for this week.

When little Jersey came into our life she was so little & cute, it was very hard to imagine she could ever make us mad at her. She had been taken home by a vet nurse after all the other puppies from the litter were sent off to loving new homes and nobody wanted Jers. The vet nurse had rescued an older cat a few months earlier & when the cat stopped eating due to the new addition she knew she had to give the new pup up. My brother called me about her & Jersey came to see us & meet Alfie the very next day. Although she was she size of Alfie's paw she showed no fear and went straight for his ankles - Alfie just stood there staring at the fluff ball attached to him & gently started playing with her. It was perfect. Jersey was home. Almost 2 years on she has grown much bigger than we imagined she would & to this day she STILL gets too excited and bites poor Alf's feet. Alfie still just accepts her the crazy way she is & they are toooooo sweet together. Jersey is the boss. Whilst Alfie wants nothing more than to please us day in day out, Jersey seems to think her purpose is to rip the insides out of ANYTHING that she can get hold of.
This week we decided that as the cooler months are coming, it would be nice to move the dogs Futon (settee, couch, lounge depending on where in the world you are) outside so they have something nice & warm to lie on under the alfresco. BAD MOVE. Even though this futon has been their bed for Jersey's entire lifetime apparently it did not belong outside & Jersey told us so!
This matress was HEAVY - Aidan & i dropped it several times whilst moving it because it weighs a tonne! Apparently that's no issue for our little mighty mouse!
The ringleader was no doubt the Jersey Girl - but she used Alfie to get that down!!
Poor Alf - he's such a push over.
But of course - in no time we give in. Naughty she may be, but that little face is too sweet to stay mad at. And while she'd never admit - she was proud of herself!
Alfie we know she talks you into it - but you have to stand up for yourself sometimes!
Before we came home & spolied all their fun i have no doubt that both of them were indeed "in their element!!" and boy would i love to see a video of it!!
Head on over tp the AWESOME Claire Baxter at Fetch in Dallas Texas to see what her gorgeous Dogs are up to!!
