Let it Snow! . . . Again!?!

*Can you believe it? It snowed again...and this time a lot! Mom and Dad had to take off work, so that meant they got to stay home and play in the snow with me.*







*Then Dad started throwing snow at me so I could catch it/eat it!*


*Now my face was covered with snow*

*Dad even went over to get my boyfriend Drake, so he could come play with me. We had the best time!*
*Here I am waiting patiently for Dad to get Drake*

*YAY! Drake!*




*Look how handsome he is - if you zoom in he looks even better :)*

*Then he "Death-rolls" me*


*Wow! What a fun time...I was so tired when we came inside, I had to take a nap!*

Let it Snow! (January 2009)

Yesterday it was snowing like crazy, and even though Malu has seen a little bit of snow before, it was nothing to write home about. However, this time we got a little more and she loved it. She was very intrigued by it at first, then just had a blast running around, sniffing (and eating) it and chasing her ball around in it. Here are a few of the pictures her Mom snapped while she was out there...

*Diggin' in the snow*

*I can't find my tennis ball...*

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

This will be Malu's first Christmas, and Bogarts 11th! We tried to include them in all the festivities, including the "decorating". Here they are all dressed up for the season!

*Mom...I hate these antlers*

*Well atleast you don't have a stupid Santa outfit on.*


*This Santa hat is too Big!*

*Malu's first Christmas Tree experience*

More Headshots and Poses

We already know how beautiful and special Malu is...but it always makes us happy to hear that other people think the same. We got another email from the breeder that Malu came from because they bred her parents again and wanted us to send some pictures of her to "advertise" for the new puppies that are due in early October. Here are some that we took...






*Billy took this shot...must have been mid-yawn...but this has to be one of the funniest pictures I have ever seen!!!*

Homemade Dog-Proof Cat Feeder!

Malu has had an obsession with Bogart's food. No matter how many times we "reprimanded" her, she couldn't resist it. So... we saw this really cool cat feeder on Orvis.com, but we weren't willing to pay as much as it cost, so we built it ourselves.

Here is a picture of the one on Orvis...



Here is the one we built...



We worked together to construct this feeder from plain wood. Then we stained it and used polyurethane to seal it to match our other furniture. We are pretty proud of it and Bogart seems to like it just fine...plus he is able to eat in PEACE!

Posing with Mom & Dad

Here are some random pics of me with my Mom and Dad...

Fun with my new Duck!

*Quack! Quack!*
My Mom and Dad got me this cool new toy that makes noises like a duck. It's really soft, which usually means it only lasts a day or so, but I have been gentle with it so far. Here are some pics with me playing with my Duck at Mom-Mom & Pop-Pop Hamilton's house.


*Look how good I can sit when there is something I want!

*I love my duck*
