Christmas Dogs

We should have taken pictures of Magpie with the debris.  She's the dog who tried to eat Christmas.  Phill re-wrapped their presents from last year (puzzles which Grammy gave them).  We forgot to tell him not to place them under the tree till we were ready to open.  Magpie opened her's and Bella's and then started on everyone else's presents as well.

Thankfully, Phill caught her before she opened everything and the rest of us were able to open our own presents.  Christmas morning the girlies helped the boys with their stockings.

Did you drop anything good?

Sawing logs

It is hard to believe that anyone could relax as much as this pup.
You need sound for the full effect.

Bella Lurking

Just one picture today.  I'm not sure what it means.
Sad? Sulky? Lurking? Feeling guilty?  She's not telling.

Action Shots!

We had some beautiful Autumn days this week.  The girls had a great time playing in the yard.

Whose got the stick?

Helping in the Garden

Bella loves to help Mommy in the garden.  Here she is keeping me company and helping to keep down the grass.  If only I could get her to run the lawn mower.

Keeping Watch

What?!

Be Alert!

Annie Oakley Eat Your Heart Out

Bella doesn't know that I am posting these pictures of her in hats.  Eric, Bella and I had a photo shoot the other day.  Karin from Flagstaff thought that Bella would look good sporting a hat so we tried a few on.

Now, where did we put the cowboy boots?

Go Rockies!
I need to get a Cubs hat for her as well.  We are not fair weather  fans.

Garden Party

We also tried the hats on Pie, but this is the best we could do.  Her little pin head is not made for hats, especially cowboy hats.

AUNTIE JOANNE!

Auntie JoAnne came to visit today.  We haven’t seen her for forever (that’s a whole week!)  And then when she came she was more interested in Mommy’s flowers than us.  We had to run around and jump on each other and push each other out of the way so she would know who loves her best.

They also took pictures of some flowers.  Why would they look at flowers when they can adore us?  We don’t get it. 

Buggy Friend

Mommy says to say that her flowers are really beautiful this year and that she is going to make a post about them on her blog: r-rabbittracks.blogspot.com

Teasing Bruiser

The girlies cousin Bruiser came to stay this last week.  This is how Bella retaliates when "someone" steals a bone right out of her mouth.

You will want to have the sound on for this one!

The kids had a great time and were sad to see Bruiser go home.
