Everyone gets a treat

My parents have 4 dogs plus 1. They have adopted 4 dogs and most recently, a little 6 week old puppy adopted them when he showed up outside the gate to their property. So, the fifth dog is called "Roger Dodger." He is now 9 weeks and so smart. He's pretty wrinkly and gets even more pliable when he's tired. I think he hasn't grown into his skin yet.


Michael and I took our two rugrats to go visit my parents a couple of weekends ago and all the pups had a great time running around wrestling, sniffing all the trees, having "who can pee last on the same spot" competitions, and chasing my dad on his tractor lawnmower. Bodhi (our boy dog), Conaan (parents 2-year-old boy), and the baby (Roger) all went swimming in the pool.


Here's a picture of Roger as a very tired puppy. I wanted to take him home, but Michael said we had enough dog at home with our two hyperactive canines.


Here's a picture of me giving treats to 5 of the 7 dogs. You can't see Roger or Boo-Boo in the picture. Boo-Boo is my parents' girl dog who is sooo shy. She ended up coming up to the line a few seconds later. Roger was behind all the other dogs so he wouldn't get squashed since he's the smallest by a lot. I made sure he got a treat also. The two on the right are ours (Bodhi and Harley).

Girls are cute

This past Saturday, Michael and I had brunch with our good friend, Anne, and her 1 1/2 year-old daughter, Penny. I chased Penny with a camera capturing her every move as if I had never seen a child before. Of course I have, it's just that my photo subjects are typically just my dogs and my parents' dogs so this was a nice change. Penny's dad, our great pal James, is in Afghanistan right now. We can't wait to have him back home.
