Snow Dog

Ready for a neighborhood cruise in the snow in her new boots. She hates when I put them on, but as soon as we get outside she's in a full-on sprint.

Crazy Dog

Sometimes she looks completely psycho, but anyone who has ever met her knows otherwise. Goofball.

Autumn

First hard-freeze of the year overnight. The leaves are dropping so fast it sounds like it's raining.
It's time for a new camera. The batteries last about 10 minutes and then die. Managed a couple of shots before the shutdown.

Week 1

Jen wants to take his picture with the gorilla to see how much he grows. So, here's the first one, at 1 week old.
Zoe is really into Owen. She can't see into the bassinet but her nose comes right to the edge. Anytime Owen makes a sound, Zoe goes over to check him out, then she comes to get me to let me know he's doing something. She's snuck in a few face licks when Owen's been on my lap. She's a good big sister.

2 Months to Go

Zoe keeps sniffing Jen's stomach. I think she knows somethings going on.

Do Goldens Shed?

A few months ago at Petco some guy asked us if Golden Retrievers shed alot. Uh, yeah. This is what the wind didn't blow away, and that's after being brushed 3 out of the last 4 days.

Thanks!

Zoe's Birthday Party 2

Top: Zoe, Siggie, Sadie, Jack, Me.
Bottom: Sadie & Bob. Bob was rescued by a friend from a puppy mill. Despite his horrible treatment as a puppy, he is a super sweet dog. It took a little while for him to get comfortable, but he was mixing it up with the others and having a blast. If you are looking for a dog, please consider a rescue dog or adoption. If you choose a breeder, make sure they are reputable and the animals are treated like family, not products.

Zoe's Birthday Party

Zoe had some friends over for her 3rd birthday party. Sophie, Bob, Sigfried, Sadie (and her boy Jack) had fun chasing each other around the yard, splashing in the pool, and trying to steal people food from the table when the opportunity presented itself.

You Can't Have Too Many Pictures of Your Dog

Jen snapped this the other night before the sun went down. How can you not love that dog? If we charged money to everyone who asked to pet her when we take her to a bike race, I'd have the entire season paid for.
