Bradley

I think Bradley wants to be a lap dog. He seems to get a little jealous when I pick up one of the punks and love on them. But he is just too darn big for any lap. But he does love to be hugged and will bury his head into you in an effort to hug you back. He really is a sweet boy.

While I am at work....

the mice will play (or the dogs will nap). I discovered these pictures that I didn't take on my camera. And quickly figured out that this is what goes on while I am at work. My dogs lay around on the furniture and my kids help themselves to my camera and the photoshoot begins. Mind you,I had no idea this photshoot had taken place, until I went to upload pictures from another event and discovered about 75 pictures of the dogs napping. I guess the dogs were willing subjects, as long as it didn't interfere with their nap.

Welcome Summer!

Summer time is here!! (Ok officially Summer doesn't start for a couple of weeks, but school is out and the pool is open). We spent some time outside the last couple of weekends. Lots of outdoor chores to be done. I think the dogs enjoy having company out there. On the weekend when we spend most of the day outside, they sure do sleep well. So just a couple of random shots of the dogs enjoying the summer weather.

Long time no post!

As usual life has been crazy. Lots to do and so little time to do it. We are really enjoying and sometimes very challenged by our new addition. But we couldn't have chosen a better personality fit for our existing pack.

It has been crazy enough that I haven't even taken alot of new pics of the dogs, so I will share with you one of my favorites of Sophie...I was baiting her with cheese, but look at those eyes. How can you resist her powers?

Black and White and Red all over!!!

Ok, well, I did it. I messed up the entire theme of this blog. No longer do I fall into the category of having dogs that are only black or white.

Welcome to our life on January 1, 2009, Murray the red Boston Terrier. He is a rescue dog. We believe he was a breeder at a puppy mill. He must not have been a good producer because he is estimated to be about 1 1/2 yrs old.

He has a wonderful personality and has fit just magically into our family.
Sophie- wasn't so sure about him at first because after all she was supposed to be the cute small dog in the family. But she has learned to love him, most of the time. On occasion I am just sure she is giving us dirty looks.

Bradley thinks the new play mate is cool. Bradley is doing a great job as big brother and teaching him the ropes. Bradley also likes have a new playmate. So much so, that Bradley has even started playing with toys to intrigue the other dogs.

Murray has few issues and really just wants to be loved by humans and dogs alike.

Happy (belated) Holidays!

In typical fashion--the holiday came rushing at me and I was my typical frantic mess getting everything done at the last minute--but it all got done. We had a wonderful holiday--the kids got lots of cool stuff- the dogs got new toys and treats. The dogs even participated in a dog gift exchange and got some cool presents from California.

This is the Christmas card the dogs sent out (with my help of course) We did a Christmas Card exchange and received nearly 50 (yes 50) dog cards---it is quite the display. We'll sign up again next year because it is so much fun.


Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Trick or Treat!!!

It's Halloween time...fall...October. Ok, so around here it doesn't feel like fall- except in the mornings. But I am not complaining. No- not one bit. The weather has been beautiful.

It is time to think about getting out the jackets and sweaters.

But not Sophie- she is thinking about treats, she is wishing there were alot more in her Halloween basket. Maybe if she dresses up for Halloween she will get more, but until then she will have to just scour the bottom of her basket wishing for more.
