Where Did They Go?!

Dog Pile

Yep, we took the dogs with us on our Thanksgiving trip. It was too cold to leave them home alone with their auto-feeders. They got to visit Grandma & Grandpa's, Nana & Gramps, and Uncle Matthew's houses. You should see our family of 7 and these two giants snug in the van!

Best Friends (Even Though They're Siblings)

You will often find these two snuggling and forming alliances. The other day, Ari lost her reward tattoo for misbehavior. Gabrian whispered to her, "Don't worry, Ari. If you can't have one, I won't have one either." Tonight, they are camped in sleeping bags on the bedroom floor so they can sleep together.

Portrait of Dignity

Wow. Special Treat.

They are so happy to be allowed to watch a movie on my laptop. It's way better than the big screen TV, you know. (They are watching Beauty and the Beast.)

Halloween 2010

Look at the sunshine we got for Halloween! It was pouring rain in the morning, but cleared up beautifully for the late afternoon and evening. It was 39 degrees as we finished trick-or-treating - starting to get chilly, but just beautiful.
