One Up, One Down

So the left ear is up! Officially.
Tummy rubs are the best.


Minnie graduated from puppy school on Saturday and will move up to the next course...Dynamic Dog. We're very excited because it means leash training will start. Not a moment too soon.

A big girl

So, at 16 weeks she is 8.5 whole lbs.!! Almost rivaling the cat now much to Roxi's chagrin. Roxi has learned that even the bed is no longer a safe place with Minnie's legs having now grown.


We're not sure if her ears are trying to stand up but we're noticing the right one is standing up more on it's own...it's only a matter of time. You can see that they're going to be large.

She is also in her 4th week at puppy school and is acing all the commands - her vocabulary now includes sit, down, watch me, off, and sometimes...come. If there's nothing else exciting around.

She also has learned a VERY fun trick - opening the crate by herself. This has created some problems for mom and dad, especially when mom came home after a plane flight to find a very happy Minnie, a chewed shoe, and an empty cat poop box. Yes, Minnie has a fetish for cat poop now. Gross.

Trip to Columbus

A brief visit to Columbus where I forgot how cold it can get. In one day, I went from 15 degrees and snow to sun and 50 degrees. no rain!

Working Hard or Hardly Working?

Minnie's official job description is lap dog. This is where you can find her most days. And usually the cat is in the paper box staring at her, still trying to figure out where she came from.
