Pichu & Tico

one of the best things in my life - cuddling with my dogs
it's extremely hard to get a good picture of pichu and tico together so this was a coup
pichu princess

pichu was sooooo good with Maddie. She played tug with her and was super gentle. Pichu is going to be a great big sister to our kids :)

Tico - 6 Months

He's usually not this regal.

Look at that tongue!

Sorry it's been so long!

Play time.

Kisses.



Pretty eyes.



What?! It wasn't me.



The serious face.



40 pounds now. Bunkie is 62. Not sure if he'll end up bigger than her. The growth seems to be slowing.



All the puppies are so adorable. Here's Sasha at 5 months. He's right about 40 pounds, and a little trouble maker, but soooo funny. He makes me laugh all day long. He just got his big dog bark, too. Had to include some of him with Bunkie because they are so cute together and pretty much inseparable. Bunkie is a new dog at 9 years old. Sasha has brought her 100% out of her post ACL surgery funk. Runs, jumps, and plays like a puppy again herself. This is a house of total silliness.  Thanks again for this little guy.  We just love him.

JOEY & PHREDDY - "urban socialization"

Joey and Tico were the biggest kids. Looks like things aren't changing. Joey was as big as his cousin Preddy at 8 weeks.

KODI @ 4 months

LOOK AT LITTLE GIRL! not so little right? she was the runt and the only girl of our litter - look how awesome she's doing! Thanks Ellen and Steve!

Melissa sent me these pics of our first pup to come out. Turned out pretty darn ok! Look at the markings on his face - so gorgeous.

Tico passed Pichu in height

at 4.5 months (early July) and gains about 10 lbs a month (40 lbs at 4 months).

Tico wants to meet his namesake

Tico the dog - fits in the suitcase, for now.

This is Tico the car and Tico dog´s namesake. This is the most common taxi car in Peru. Clearly, my husband jives on irony.

Sasha in his favorite hillside spot with the desert flowers

He's going to be really sad when he's too big to fit under the bushes like he does now to get there.

... or he'll just tear them up so he fits I guess. He just started digging plants up.

I've been bad

about taking pictures of Tico. I'm totally obsessed with him but i've forgotten to take pics. i only remember to take pics when we're socializing him. why don't i realize he won't be this small for long??? greg took him to the vet on friday and she said he was a "size 6". in laymans terms that means he's going to be a 65-70 lb dog. ho damn!
