Class time


In an effort to make all dogs in the family "kid-friendly" and obedient, mom and dad signed everyone up for Puppy Class (level 2) at PetsMart on Wednesday nights for a little socialization. If you make it over to PetsMart during class night you'll see:
  • Mom and dad with Stormy trying to get her to calm down for two-seconds in order for her to learn something (although I will say she does what I ask her to do) :)

  • Nick and Shea with Lola, hoping that she won't kill another classmate (although she has vastly improved since class #1 and is starting to play nicely)

  • Party of six: me, Nate, the babies and the girls (Sammie and Ellsey) showing up everyone else in the class because we already know all the tricks. OK, maybe not all the tricks, we did learn "wait" this week. The girls are trying to become a little more social with other dogs; mainly Elly. Sammie gets her frantic butt wiggle in each week hoping that every dog in the class will like her and Elly could care less and would just prefer to give you every trick in the book in hopes you'll share a treat with her.

  • And finally, you'll meet CindyLoo the miniature Sheltie who is adorable and wants treats from everyone and Kiki, not sure what KiKi is, but she has a lot of energy!
I'm not sure this is helping in the cause to make all the pups "kid-friendly", but it sure has been fun. I'd like to note that my mom has always claimed to not be a dog person, so of course I had to post the photo of her playing with all the dogs on the floor of PetsMart. (sorry for the poor quality, taken with my phone)

Meet the twins

Well, if you are reading this post, chances are you have ran in to my mom and she couldn't wait to share the news - or you are family, or even a close friend... or maybe you're my furthest reader, all the way in India catching up on your newest family members ("hi" Aunt Kate)!

I'm keeping it short and sweet today because it has taken me a while to design the site and the laptop is making my already warm belly even warmer, so to the point, meet the twins:

Here is a photo of the two babies together -


Ready for their close-ups, meet Baby "A" -
(Baby "A" was at a difficult angle and not nearly as photogenic as Baby "B", so we sort of think it may be a boy not caring about his first photo)


Close-up of Baby "B" ready for her photo shoot -


Well, that's all for the first post! I promise for a little more next time. xoxo
