Family Picture

With my son on his way out to serve a two year mission and my husband traveling so much for work, I was nervous that we would not have a time that all of us were together for family pictures. Fortunately we were all in town this weekend and my lovely cousin, Melissa of MD Photography graciously came to our home to snap a few quick pictures.

Walks

Every evening Sadie and I walk about 3 miles, we start by walking down to Prospect Park which is a beautiful beautiful park adjacent to the Kimberly Crest Mansion. Every chance Sadie gets, she likes to walk along the curb . . . in the park there are garden walls that she loves to jump onto and then walk along.

No Dogs on the Table!

The other day I walked by our dining room table and I could not figure out why the place mats were on the floor. I picked them up and placed them neatly on the table and walked away. The next time I walked by the table, this is what I saw: 

It's a good thing she is so cute!

Fetch!

Last week I discovered that Sadie can fetch, I was so happy! I randomly picked up a package of small dog squeaky balls at Target last time I was there, not sure why, I guess I was just looking for a change. 

Realistically, I figured Sadie might like to chew on them, I was surprised when I took the balls out of the bag and Sadie got excited. Her tail was wagging and she was doing her little "puppy dance" - her reaction made me smile. 

I immediately gave her a ball to sniff for a few seconds and then tossed it down the hallway to see if she knew what to do. . .
