What a Great Day.....

The proud parents take a moment for themselves
Puppy Love




As many of you know, The Columbine was about to close its doors for good because of a bad land lord. Thanks to the hard work and calm head of our leader, Stephanie Camp, we will not be closing and we will not lose our jobs. YIPPIE!!!!! It has been a very stressful month and I have really realized how lucky we all are at the restaurant to have such an amazing crew and awesome bosses. Seriously....steph and scott are such generous and kind people. We are so happy. The entire town is thrilled too, which makes it even more fun to be at work. Between the signs on the building and the newspaper article this week we have been packed with people wanting to get their last meals in at their favorite restaurant!! I love giving them all the good news!!!! And now that we are not unemployed we can save up for the fence we have to build to hold all of our babies. heehee.
....Oh ya, the new dog got a name. Her name is Zucca (Zuka) Poohpaw. Zucca is Italian for pumpkin and the Poohpaw part is pretty self explanatory.
Yesterday we had a really nice day. We took Zucca, Akai and Ottis down to Gunnison to socialize them and wear them out. They had a blast. Akai and Zucca stopped at every street corner and sat down like good little girls and waited for me to say o.k. Akai, unfortunately nipped at one passer by but he was cool about it, or he was too shocked to say anything. Tomorrow Akai and I start our intense fear passing training. I have received a few pointers from people on how to change her behavior. On a more positive note though, Akai has shown an incredible mothering side that we did not know existed. She is so good with Zucca, she plays nicely with her and points her in the right direction when they are called...it's been really nice to see this side of Akai. Ottis is not as fatherly , he is getting better though. Today he played with her a few times. Usually he lays on the sofa and bays REALLY loud if she touches him, its is funny. Very dramatic.
