Bedtime

Buying this bed was a good thing. Both dogs love it and the cats sleep in it too. I might have to get another bed for upstairs.

What? Another picture?

Sleepy boy

This is how Arlo sleeps most nights. Can you say spoiled? Seriously though I never thought I would allow a dog to sleep in my bed. But I got to be honest, I would rather have him sleep with me than wander around the house at night getting into trouble.

Photo Shoot

Arlo and Minnie love to take a nap in the sun. And why is it when I get the camera out they wake up and decide to attack the photographer. Damn paparazzi!

Ebony and Ivory

Trey's grandpa thinks Johnathan and Trey should be called, Ebony and Ivory. I like to think of them as chocolate and vanilla. They are both such good boys. Here's Minnie and Arlo with Ebony and Ivory.

Back from vacation

Vacations are the best inventions ever! I did nothing spectacular but had a lovely vacation none-the-less. Arlo and Minnie were both kept very busy and are probably going through withdrawal right now. This is Arlo coming home from my sister's house. The kids and her dog, Bo tired him out so much that he fell asleep in the car. Minnie was on my lap asleep.

PS - Driving the car and shooting photos - not the best idea ever.

Vacation

I'll be on vacation starting tomorrow so I'll be back on Monday the 23rd. Hopefully I'll be laying out on some beach with a few new books.

Happy Birthday Arlo Guthrie!

Not too many people realize my pup, Arlo is named in honor of the folk singer, Arlo Guthrie.

Arlo Guthrie is the son of Woody Guthrie who some would know as the composer of "This Land is Your Land." Arlo Guthrie sings songs of protest against social injustice. "His most famous work is "Alice's Restaurant Massacree", a talking blues song that lasts 18 minutes and 20 seconds (in its original recorded version; Guthrie has been known to spin the story out to forty-five minutes in concert). Guthrie has pointed out that this was also the exact length of one of the famous gaps in Richard Nixon's Watergate tapes."

Happy Birthday Arlo Guthrie!

Hot dog!

What a busy weekend for Arlo. He was so excited to go to Gray's Lake this weekend for a walk. So many people make comments when we walk and you can't help but smile. People don't realize Arlo has so much energy that 2 miles is nothing to him.

Happy 4th of July
