Jazz and Stretch come to visit...

....oh and Mom and Dad too!  Last weekend we had an apartment full of people and pets and it was wonderful!  Jazz taught Ori to play!!! They ran around the house, mouthing and ruff housing until neither could move!  It was so great to see O play and romp and roll with another dog!  The 3 dogs did great together.  One night Lola came over to visit and we had 4 dogs.  Unfortunately Jazz was possessive of the couch so Lola stayed on the other side of the room.  We had 4 dogs and 4 people squished into the 2 couches!  Lola was a sweet heart and my parents adored her!

We had a beautiful time relaxing and walking, watching movies and of course eating!  It was a fabulous break and I am so thankful for our time together as a family!

Where does the time go?

Here we are WEEKS after we were up in MA and I'm just posting about it now... well better late than never.

Nick, Tink and I spent an entire 9 days up with my family...it was a nice time to regroup, spend time with the family and relax. My parents recently got a new puppy... a little papillion named Jazz. He is certainly cute and adorable but he quickly reminded me of why I don't want a puppy when he pooped IN my slipper and chewed on my flip flips for starters...

Jazz is fearless and would retreat into his bed like it was safety
or something when playing with stretch or penny.

Tink did very well with puppy man.
We quickly broke him of the idea that Tink was his mother,
but we still had to watch him to make
sure he wouldn't chew on her head!

Chewing on a stick! Apparently most papillions don't like
to go outside this young, but he went outside like a trooper.
We even got him walking on a leash and
taking LONG walks in hopes of tiring him out.
That was faulty logic however as he would come back and play
for another hour or so before taking a break.

Almost resting, but not completely....

Here, let me help you out Tink, you have something on your nose!

Playing with razor sharp puppy teeth!

Jazz was about 2lbs when we first arrived...
when we went to the vet with him on thursday he was almost 3!!!

He is cute...



Planning his next attack

Who me?!?!

Tink was a giant at her 14.5lbs compared to this little munckin!

And as usual, all the dogs got along just fine! Tink made out like a bandit and slept in bed every night... one night, I'm not sure what happened if she pushed off me or my arm repositioned, but she fell out of bed and landed on the floor! She didn't think it was that funny but she was ok and I picked her back up and put her into bed again.

As usual Tink was very relieved to get back home as evidenced by her happy dance and face rubs as we came into the apartment : )
