Agatha The Babysitter

Agatha says she's had better days.  A rather energetic little person made a visit the other day and decided that Agatha was indeed one of the nicest doggies she'd even seen.

She took a realllllly close look just to be sure.

Agatha is a good sport though, in spite of been inspected minutely from end to end. And, having to wear a blankie because surely doggie was cold! (Note the happy wagging tail ; )  

Agatha thought that having a little person to play with was wonderful. There was much handing out of snacks and happily, cookies made an appearance much more often than usual.

(Agatha says why can't we have cookies every day?).

In her other life, "Clara Rose" (don't you love that sweet name?)  is a bit of a diva in her own right.  She helps Aunt Terry & Agatha with picture taking and on occasion has been known to dress up looking very much like an honest to goodness little red riding hood and help show Agatha how to walk nicely on the leash.

Agatha realllllly enjoyed that one believe me. Clara Rose fancies herself quite the little dog trainer already.  I'm thinking she takes after someone else we know.  I had to laugh, she's a bit of a natural, look at her holding the slack in the lead properly at all of 2 years of age!

Since I'm sharing, I can't resist a few more beautiful photos, one of my niece, baby Clara Rose's mother Lydia DeVoe (more name love!). Be prepared, this is such a delightful photograph... I see my daddy's grin in baby Clara Rose...  Isn't she precious?

I always wished I had a lovely romantic name, I was supposed to be named Faith,,, but three days arguing in the hospital when I was born, resulted in nurses proclaiming I couldn't leave without my young parents agreeing on a name and my daddy who had I'm sure wanted a BOY finally prevailed and Terry Ellen was the result. Can you imagine?  Faith Cross  I'm not sighing...

And here's another of little miss, she's such a little old lady.  

Yes, all in all, we had a lovely day and after the little whirlwind went home Agatha spent some time going over the floors for me dealing with stray cookie crumbs. She say's she's always glad to help with the vacuuming.
