Some of my favorite pictures

I took all of these yesterday in about 5 minutes. They have come out to be some of my favorite pictures of the girls so far. With the exception of Bluebonnet's fierce protection of her food, the girls always show each other a lot of love.

She might be part cat



Please notice the loose skin and the huge ears. I honestly could have sat and watched this for hours. She's so freakin' adorable!

Last day of vacation

I was able to spend the last day of my vacation at home with the girls. We pretty much stayed inside all day in the bedroom watching all the episodes of The Closer that we had recorded. At some point I knew that we needed to get out and see the sunshine. The girls are such little posers... they KNOW when the camera is on.

This morning

Kris took this picture of Clementine this morning, sleeping her and Blue's bed.

Like I said... she's outdoorsy, she goes outside by herself to explore all the time

Bluebonnet puts up with Clementine's antics very well

The girls like to cuddle with each other

Almost...
Very nearly...
Got it!

Clementine is outdoorsy

She'll just go outside by herself and sit under the patio table and chew on a piece of wood or an acorn. Sometimes she cries if she can't see Bluebonnet and other times she'd clearly rather be alone.

What I know about my dawgs

... sometimes Clemmie looks like she's posing for an Abercrombie & Fitch ad

... my dogs like to watch The Soup

... Now, more than ever, Bluebonnet will try to get in your lap

... Just like Bluebonnet, Clementine will fall asleep on your foot

... I want her to stay this size

Clemmie takes after mama and tap dances (a little)

Dance, puppy! Dance!

Blue visits Lady Jessica

In an attempt to keep Bluebonnet feeling special I took her out with me yesterday while I ran some errands. She kept looking at me like "Mommy, I have a question." And I'd just say "Yes, she is STILL going to be there when you get home." After a stop to put air in one of my tires, a pop into Michaels and a drive-thru McDonald's for a giant Diet Coke we went to visit one of Blue's favorite people, the lovely Lady Jessica of Brentwood. It wasn't a very long visit but Bluebonnet was happy nonetheless. She even cowered with her tail between her legs at the little tiny dog statue Jessica has in her home. It was pretty funny. She kept going back to that corner to check it out. After Jessica's we took a nice long walk through PetSmart to use the gift card that was burning a hole in our pockets. Since I haven't noticed a change in Blue's behavior I've determined that either the special treatment is working or it's not necessary. It's hard to tell.

The Punkers and Little Bits

Yesterday Blue was sleeping on her couch and Clemmie kept whining wanting to get up on the couch with her. I lifted her up onto the couch. The rest they worked out themselves, I didn't position them for these pictures (not that I'm above that).



Rough night and rougher morning

Last night did not go as well as night #1. Clementine started throwing up, on Kris then on me then in her bed, around 9:30pm. She had a lot of undigested doggie treats in her belly from visitors yesterday afternoon.

I thought that was the end of it until I was awoken two more times in the night by the sound of her puking, but by that time it was just bile. Blue, mad about being woken up so many times, got up and left the room and the bed that they share. This morning she got up with me and Blue and drank some water and within 10 minutes was throwing up the water. She's sleeping right now pretty comfortably so I'm just going to monitor the situation, but I'll probably need to bring her in for a vet visit today.

I just want my little baby to be happy and healthy and comfy so I hope it's just still jitters and getting used to a new place, but the pattern suggests something different. We'll see and I'll update.

You won't even believe us but...

Last night at 8:54pm Clementine, our 7-week old Basset Hound, went out the doggie door by herself, went into the yard, peed, pooped and came back in the house at 9:01.

We *know* she isn't potty trained (if the small yellow puddles around the house are any indication) but we thought it would be a few weeks before she could go in and out of the door on her own. We think she might be really, really smart.
