Um…Ladies
There is a doggie door just to your left. Feel free to use it any time.
The girls are also nicely framing one of the best things we have ever bought - a top entrance litter box for the cat. Why so much excitement over a litter box? Well, when the boys were puppies they picked up the nasty habit of fishing in the litter box. It was disgusting and keeping them out of the litter box while giving the cat free access to the litter box became a real pain. Then I discovered a top entrance litter box at Petsmart one day. It is essentially like a plastic storage container with a hole cut in the top. With a $30 price tag, we passed on buying the box the first time we saw it and tried to make our own. The sturdiness of the lid was a big issue after we cut a hole in it and since I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize the cat’s litter box experience, we shelled out the $30 bucks for the real thing and it has absolutely been a perfect solution to our problem.
Lucky for us, the cat isn’t too picky about her litter box design.
And speaking of the cat, she is probably the one that uses the doggie door the most!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Sol’s Photo Timeline
In the comments of yesterday’s blog post, Linda had the idea to post a few before and after pictures of Sol. Sol has most definitely been through a lot since she has been with us and much to my surprise she has only been with us for a little over three months. It seems much, much longer than that! (And I mean that in the nicest way.) So, I went through the photos and picked a picture of Sol for each month she has been a part of the OBP pack.
December 2008
Sol came to us on December 29, 2009. There wasn’t much time left in the month, but we did get a few pictures of her when she first arrived. This photo was taken on her 2nd day with us.
January 2009
This picture was taken on January 4, 2009 after Sol had a few more days of OBP livin’ under her belt.
February 2009
This picture was taken on February 24, 2009. At this point we knew about Sol’s cancer. Nine days later she would have a mandibulectomy to remove the tumor from her mouth.
March 2009
This picture was taken on March 6, 2009. Sol had surgery on the 5th and we were able to bring her home the next evening. Hard to believe she had part of her jaw removed the day before.
The next picture was taken on March 20, 2009. Just a few weeks after her surgery and Sol has adjusted perfectly.
April 2009
Taken on April 6, 2009, Sol is sprawled out doing what Sol does best - keeping a close eye on me while I’m in the kitchen.

I Couldn’t Resist
I know I just posted a few pictures of Sol riding in her pouch, but I couldn’t resist posting another one.
We were out the other day for a walk and we got about 3/4’s of a mile away from home when Sol started slowing down. So we decided it was time to time to put her in her pouch. She was about 10 yards away and as soon as she saw her pouch getting set up for her she sprinted over and stood there wagging her tail. She couldn’t wait to get in! I think the pouch is her preferred method of travel
