Quick Learner!

Malu is doing so well...she started Puppy Kindergarten on June 21st, but after 3 classes, she was moved up to Intermediate Puppy Class because she was doing so well and was being held up by another puppy in the class. We were such proud parents!

Since starting classes we have really been working on her obedience, and she is doing pretty well. She is definitely into her "Terrible Two's" Stage and is very mischievous, but is learning too. After watching Cesar Milan on "The Dog Whisperer", we decided we wanted to teach her to walk on the treadmill, so on rainy days, or really hot ones (like we've been having lately) she can still get rid of all her puppy energy. The first time we tried she was about 4 months old and only walked for about 2 mins at a time. Now that she is 5 1/2 months old, she has really moved up and is up to walking 17 mins at a time. We don't even need to hold her on or walk beside her...we can do the Wii Fit or work out ourselves while she is doing her thing!! She's so good!

Here are some pics of her walking on the treadmill:

*Here we go*

*Not so sure at first*

*Oh yeah, I remember how to do this...This is fun!*


*Bogart supervising as usual!*

*Malu can even look out the window while she walks on the treadmill*


She is so good! She will be 6 months old on Monday and weighs around 40 lbs. She has lost all her baby teeth and is really growing up. Sometimes we have a hard time remembering when she was so small!

Sorry for the Delay

My mom has been so bad about updating our blog lately. We've been so busy lately she hasn't had much time, but I finally convinced her to get on it!! There are about 5-6 new posts below, so we hope you enjoy them!!

Vacation to OBX

We went to the beach in the Outer Banks, N.C. for a week. What a great time! We took Malu and Bogart with us and they both had a blast. There are way too many pictures to post, so I posted just a few good ones.

If you want to see more pics from our first "family" vacation...just let my mom know and she'll email you the link to the full album!

More new Friends!

When we were all walking around the neighborhood, we met some new neighbors that have labs too. One of each color. They were older than me, but we still had a good time playing. Too bad I haven't seen them since... :( ...(but I still have my boyfriend Drake!)






Roller Blading with my Dad!

Apparently I went from not wanting to walk on a leash to pulling on the leash...so my Mom and Dad got roller blades to keep up (and wear me out more)! I love it! I can trot along pretty good now without getting yelled at!


Okay, let's go!


*Look at me go!*




So much fun!!!

New Friend! (May 31, 2008)

Mom and Dad took me to meet a new friend. Her name is Bella and she is a Great Dane. She is 10 months old and really big, but I didn't really notice! We had so much fun playing together! Here are a few pics of us romping around...




*Woo-hoo you can't catch me!*

*We both LOVE to play tug-o-war!*






We played so hard for about 2 hours, that we needed to rest, so we napped together!


I can't wait to have another play date with Bella. You can see her more on her blog: http://www.ourgirlblue.blogspot.com
