A Christmas Memory

A Christmas memory from 2008

Tinker, Stretch, Aby, Penny

This picture took a long time to get with those 4 monkeys!! 

Clearly Tink didn't see the treat the other 3 were looking at!!!

Tink Makes Me So Happy

Tink has been doing so well lately. Aside from her ulcer/gum issue, she has been wonderful. She is full of more energy, she looks good, is acting well, she doesn't seem to be as stiff or sore as often.

She's been cracking me up on walks lately. She walks well and keeps up (after she sniffs to her little heart's desire) but as soon as we get back to the apartment area, she boogies soo fast that it is everything we can do to keep up. It's like she goes into turbo overdrive or something. Sometimes she gets too far ahead that I can't control her and then I bring her back into a heel. But otherwise I get so much enjoyment from watching her fly down the walkway!

Tink and Penny relaxing on what used to be Larry's bed--
good thing it's not his anymore or someone would be paying
with their head for having *2* dogs on the bed
(ahem, that would be me!)

Tink relaxing on the couch--
so often all she wants is a soft blanket to nest on then sleep on--
really how could we deprive her of a soft blanket???

So yeah, that's my story lately. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous for walking and Tink and I have been making the most of every evening (and morning when she decides she will walk). There is something very soothing about walking in the cool evening air with my little one. Hopefully this weather will hang around for a while longer so we can enjoy our extended walks that much longer without freezing!

Bath Time!

Penny spent monday night here with Nick, Tink and Me while her mommy and daddy had a night at a local B & B. Tink needed a bath, so I decided giving Penny one would be a good idea too. The brightest part was putting them in the tub together : )

Every things ok so far... no one's wet!

Oh please help us!

maybe a treat or two?

They were both so sad and pathetic looking when wet! Fortunately they both survived and are clear and happy girls! We loved having Penny around and I think Tink was searching for her after she left on tuesday!

Penny comes to town : )

Mom, Dad, Larry, Katie, & Penny came down to visit and spent Labor Day weekend with the Rowe family at the cabin! It was a wonderful time with everyone (and I forgot my camera!) We came back and Penny enjoyed Tink's toy box. Here are some pics of Penny enjoying a bully and an old marrow bone!

Catching up with Easter Pictures...

So... we spend Easter weekend with my side of the family.... as you can see, Tink hated every moment.....

We went out one night and came home to her sleeping in front of the fireplace...

Isn't she so peaceful?!?!

The 6 girls...aren't we something else?!?!

Tink promptly stole Penny's bed

Jewel, Raisin, and Lacey

The viscous Penny!

Ok, not so viscious!

Adorable!

Tired

Beautiful!

Guess who has a new puppy...???

She's a cute lil red BT named Penny.... what do you think?????......

Now before any one has a heart attack, she's not OURS, she's my brother's and sister's-in-law. But she is Tinker's first, first cousin! Be sure to watch for MANY pictures of the trio when we go up to MA in March, Tinker, Aby, and Penny! It's going to be crazy fun!
