Wild Dogs

We've been spending a lot of time outdoors these days as summer is cooling off, and our once inside-all-the-time dogs are changing!  They've become a little more wild, a little more territorial, and tons happier!  They are so cute running around the yard, burrowing under logs and bushes, barking at everything that moves.  I'm not so sure it's a good thing as far as making friends with the neighbors!  But it's nice to see them so happy!

What are your pets' favorite activities?  Are you able to provide those experiences for them regularly?

A Snuggly Day

It's a small miracle!  Our little dog, Annie, is currently snuggled on the couch sleeping in Flannery's lap!   And they've been snuggling that way for over an hour now.  Flannery told me that her foot fell asleep, but she didn't want to move, because she loves snuggling with Annie so much.  How sweet!

Below are some pics of Flanna with the pups...note her "name" sweatshirt that my aunt and cousin made her.  She just loves it!

In other news, it's a snow day here!  Work and school were cancelled for everyone, and we're having a lazy day.  Poor Flanna's not feeling that well, but after she rests up a bit, we're hoping to brave the cold to make a "sleetman" (since it was more of a sleet storm than a snowstorm).    Such fun!



Who do you just love to snuggle with?

Pet a Pet

Have I mentioned I have the cutest dogs ever? Dogs are such a big part of our family. Their daily snuggles and snores add a cute and cozy element to our life. We gave Annie (our tiny black dog) a bath today, and it was so cute to see Flannery so gently pour water to rinse Annie without getting any in her eyes. As Flannery gets older, Annie and Padme (our brown dog) are letting her pet them and just generally be near them more. It's very sweet.


Today I'm praying for my friend Kelley, whose sweet dog Sandy has just had a tumor removed. They're waiting to see whether the tumor was benign or not. Send them good thoughts!



If you have a pet, what do you appreciate most about it?
