Hurley

What's not to love about this guy. He's cute as all get out and such a good dog. Hurley just spent the week with our good friends Steph and Ferd and Hurley feel in love with Steph and LOVED having a play companion in the wild Banchie. I think he's in recovery mode, all that play really tuckered the pup out. I think he'll be a little lonely for awhile and will ALWAYS be super excited about visiting Auntie Steph!

Now Ginger the dog, my brothers dog (is it really his?) is staying with us. Ginger is old and grumpy and she doesn't know how to socialize with other dogs. She tolerates Hurley and even tries to play (she hasn't figured out how to do this with a little dog yet). Hurely tries REALLY hard to get her to play by sprinting back and forth on top of the couch. Ginger is tempted, but she's not sure if she wants to play with Hurley or eat him. It turns out though, that Hurley is a really good teacher for Ginger. Hurley is very well trained (if I don't say so myself :) and Ginger has lived a life at grandma's with no rules. So I tell Hurley to 'go to his bed' and Ginger will reluctantly follow. It'll be an interesting 6 weeks with Ginger. I hope we all survive.

We seem to have a million pictures of our first baby, the pictures very rarely depict accurately his true cuteness. Can you tell we're in love with him? Here are some of our favorites:
