Dogs, dogs, and ... Matt?

So the one thing I did remember to take pictures of this holiday season... was the dogs. They are so darn cute!

My 3 cute babies:

Its just cute how much they like each other.

My personal favorite was the sight of Matt's birthday breakfast! (thanks for helping make breakfast Brittney!)

A big event around here was Lightning getting his rabies shot! Because... that means he can get groomed!

I thought this would be a perfect blogging opportunity, so I wanted to take some before shots... here are some attempts:

Here are the successful before shots:

And here he is after his grooming appointment! It was worth it!

His and Hers

Matt and I have always dreamed of having 2 dogs. A bigger dog for him and a smaller one for me.

So, we decided to get Cleo a friend... Meet Lightning!


Here he is trying out his new bed


The first introduction, Cleo meeting Lightning.

Trying out their crates together.

See how well they get along! Sometimes they sleep together.

So we have a cool big athletic dog, and an adorable schnauzer. Its really fun!

Trying Not to Be Those Crazy People Who Treat Their Dog Like a Human

... it's harder than I thought! I mean check her out! She's so cute.


She's 6 months old and has already stolen our hearts. We got her Monday afternoon from the Human Society just after she was spayed that day. She was very excited to see us, and to get in Matt's red truck. Then she squirmed the whole way home. She met the Broderick's and half the Hannah's the first night, and loved them all. During dinner she slept in between Matt's and my feet, it was so cute. She crashed pretty hard that night. She's had 2 accidents at the beginning, but otherwise house training is going well.

Welcome home Cleo!
