2008 Year in Review

We had a fun year. Lots of growing, lots of learning. Clark has been learning a lot. He knows exactly how to push out buttons and get what he wants, but is smart enough to know when to stop. In the fall we brought home Indy. The dogs have been having a ton of fun together and get along better then we could have hoped. It will be fun to see them play together as Indy grows and picks up tricks of his own. The cats are holding their own too. They make sure we know they are here and do their best to torment the dogs however they can.

About a half hour after this Chris realized that we don't have a lint brush...

This is how Indy prefers to spend his winter.

Merry Christmas

Love,


Indy, Clark,

Pippen, and...

Mojo!!

Snowball catcher

He could TOTALLY play center field if he could just get his throwing down...

Loves snow.

Hates snow.

Clark is trying to teach Indy the finer points of playing in the snow.

It's a little slow going for Indy since his legs (and hair) are shorter.

He's not as "into" it as Clark is.

Clark doesn't understand what his problem is...

Indy would like to cuddle. Clark would like him to please move over.

Christmas chaos is taking it's toll on Indy. And by Indy I mean me...

Due to the discovery of cat puke on my bed........................... Cat Friday will be suspended until I get over it. ON. MY. BED!

Clark won't look at me. If we have your address you'll find out why very soon!

Clark with our '07 and '08 Christmas trees. We went BIG this year.

Taco Frisbee.

Indy's First Snow

I'm not sure how Indy feels about the snow. He shivers in a cool breeze. He seemed to like the smell of it, but was much moreinterested in watching what Clark was doing.

Clark still loves running and playing in the snow. When I shovel the deck off he loves to jump up and try to catch the snow in this mouth. But he still mostly just wants to play Frisbee.

Indy

I didn't know dogs got zits... Indy has a pretty huge one on his nose.

Clark was pissed that Indy got a ride in the car yesterday and he had to stay home with the cats...

Lucky Dog

Indy went to the vet today... sat in the waiting room for a few minutes and then got sent home with no shots. After his reaction to his last round of shots the Dr. has decided to hold off on the final rabies shot until he is six months old. We got a letter from the vet explaining why, so that we can still sign up for puppy school.

It's strange to see the diffence in Clark and Indy's personalities. When Clark is in the car he rarely even sits down. Stares out the window the entire time. Indy prefers to roll up in a ball and sleep.

Also, Indy has a huge zit on his nose... how weird is that?
