Ciemen and his Friends


Ciemen The Chicken Dog Beani and Turbo in the snow


Ciemen and Tubo
Turbo

We have two dogs, and my neighbor Kim, has one. They recently lost one of their older dogs, Thor.
We also have neighbors....not always the best neighbors, but we cope. One in particular is lacking any sense when it comes to dogs. Our dogs are well behaved and run around our two adjoining yards.....until crabby neighbor called the dog warden and said there were vicious dogs in the neighborhood. I have a Border Collie who obsessive/compulsive when it comes to playing stick, a small Shepard mix that Mick rescued while he was at college, and Kim has a big and goofy Boxer mix.


We are very good about keeping our dogs in line.....but the neighbor just likes to make trouble.....not only with the dogs, but other things too! Fortunately he goes to Florida for 6 months...BYE BYE!


Anyway we made our own dog park in our back yard and the dogs have a great time running together. They chase the chickens, the bunnies, the ground hogs and the raccoons and swim in the pond. It is a dog's life!


My neighbor Kim is so funny....she made her dog, Ciemen, a chicken costume for Halloween and had his picture taken. Ciemen also has sleep overs with my dogs when Kim has to work nights so he isn't alone.

That chicken costume is hysterical! My kids would want him to walk around trick-or-treating with them. :)

That's so cute that the dogs get along so well and love to play together. You're lucky you have one neighbor at least who thinks just like you do. Boo to the bad neighbor!

How fun! Dog buddies! We have some nice neighbors, so we are fortunate. It's funny, when we moved here 6 years ago, we were surrounded by meadows. Now there are big houses all around us. :-(

Also, love the combine picture, I'll ahve to show Jimmy. He's obsessed with them!
