Phantom on Friday

Phantom is really not too crazy about the flashy beast. So it isn't very often that the Momster can get very many good photos of him. Since he offered a few opportunities this week, we thought we would feature Phantom today.




He loves to sit by these windows so he can see what TD and Ciara are doing outside and still know exactly where the Momster is.




His favorite spot outside is usually on the deck at the very top of the stairs. But with the beautiful weather we have been having, he is often found out on the lawn, usually checking out the happenings outside his fence.










Just enjoying feeling good today.




Can't you tell I am trying to hide from you?


Phantom was always extremely close to Dakota. They were only 15 months apart in age and they did everything together for years and years. Then along came Thunder. Phantom was always very good with him, and when Dakota started to slow down from her illness, we noticed Phantom starting to take more of an interest in TD. After we said our good-byes to Dakota AND Phantom had his horrible surgery experience, he was very much a loner. He spent a lot of time in his crate. Poor Thunder was very confused. After a while, Phantom came out of his "funk" and we noticed a big change in his relationship with Thunder. They became the best of pals and had lots of fun werestling on the deck.


Then along came Ciara. The Momster had really expected Phantom to take to her right away. Was she ever wrong! He wanted to eat her when she first arrived. Then he wanted to boss her around in a not very nice way. And then he just ignored her. Lately we have been seeing little hints that maybe he has decided she isn't so bad after all. Today the Momster caught him doing this:





And this:





She thought she had a great video to share where he was giving her kisses all over her face, but silly Mom, she forgot to push the record button and got NOTHING. Maybe another day, but it was so good to see him finally showing some affection to the little one.




And for his concluding photo, we just have to show you his absolute favorite spot - lying on the carpet at the front door with the door open and the screen in the door. He would stay there all day and all night. In fact, that's where he is right now.


Some of you may remember that in early March we did this post about Holly and her mom Debbie. They were hoping to start their own blog some day.





Well, today when Mom was reading some of the comments on our posts, she saw one from Holly and thought there is something different about that comment. Then it hit her. It didn't say it was from "Alex93andme" - it said it was from "Holly". So Mom clicked on the link for "Holly" and whoa - there it was, they have a blog!!! It is called Holly Wags. Please be sure to stop by and welcome them. We know they would really love to have some visitors. And we all know how good they are about visiting and commenting too.

Happy weekend to all.

Woos - Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
