Chores

Chores...ahhh, we all probably had to do them as children to get our allowance or JUST because our parents said so! haha Well Shelby has her first chore and it is by HER choice! Shelby feeds the dog now. Of course I have to be right there usually because sometimes she spills or drops the cup full of dog food all over the kitchen floor or living room floor. BUT I CANNOT help her, nope, she INSISTS on doing it herself, she will shove me out of the way to beat me to the dog food so she can do it! If I do manage to fill the cup full of dogfood myself, she will try and grab it away from me so SHE can dump it in Emma's food bowl! She is so funny. Occasionally the dog food ends up in Emma's water bowl too, that isn't cool! She also has to tell Emma now that she has food! Take this morning for example, Emma was laying down on the porch and Shelby filled her bowl up with food and she went over to Emma, yelled something to her in Shelby language and pointed to her food bowl!

Luckily Emma is very good with Shelby and very patient with her. Shelby loves Emma and also likes to boss her around and tell her what to do! We do have to remind her a lot to be gentle with Emma and not lay on her or pull on her fur.

I keep telling her she is awfully bossy for a 2 year old! Oh what my future holds!
