Arla's Cabin

We all went up to Arla's cabin this last weekend so we could spend time with Mike. As you can see while he's begging Ty to throw it, Chopper was never more than three feet away from his ball. Tyson and I had a blast on the motorcycle/4-wheeler. Even Dad took a turn on the motorcyle. It was good food, good movie (A River Runs Through It), beautiful atomosphere, and lots of fun.

Since I-80 was closing everyone except Ty and I left early. We got to sit and chat with Arla and Libe. Chopper and Libe became fast friends, only they had different ideas of playing together. Libe likes to rough house and run around. Chopper likes to fight over his ball...which i took up with us. So Chopper kept sticking his ball in Libe's face and Libe just wanted to play. Finally, as we sat there chatting before we left Libe had it. She just doesn't understand the ball so she took from Chopper, dug a hole (man can that girl dig - 4 swipes and it was about a foot deep...) and started to bury his ball. Can't say Chopper was too excited about that.

When all was said and done we all had a hard time leaving...just look at Chopper's reaction when he was told to "Load up, we're going home." It took about 10 mins to get him to come.

Puppy Budsky

On my birthday this year, our dear roommate called and mentioned that he had a new puppy at the house. Little did we know that the picture here is the "small" (temporary) version. This 3 1/2 month old puppy is almost as big as our full grown yellow lab...ahhh. Holger is a Cane Corso Mastiff and will be huge. I mean huge 130+ pounds. At first he was an interesting addition to our home (he immediately peed all over my bare feet). Chopper now knows he is not being replaced, so he love him...and as you can see he is a cute little sucker.

I think he's good for Steven too. Holger loves him. We came home the other night and they didn't hear us. There was Steven sitting on the hardwood floor instead of the couch so his puppy could lay on his lap :)

So, I keep hearing that I need to get this up and going. It may take some time to get some pics because i keep forgetting to take the camera places, but we'll shoot for sooner than later. For now, it's just the play list that we put together.
