Off!

We have instituted a "no couch" rule which applies to the puppies since these photos were taken. Otis sheds and Max leaves dusty footprints so they are forbidden to get on the couch now. Here's to the memories....Max espicially misses the recliner, he had claimed it as his own.


Luckily for the pups, they are still allowed on the bed :)

Don't be sad baby Brady, you can alway sleep on our laps!

'Tis the Season

It's Christmas time! So, our tree has come up, the stockings have been hung, and we've even used our fireplace. Toasty! Random holiday decor is also sprinkled about the house. Our nativity scene is located under the mirror (you can see the top of it above the stair railing in the picture below). I just discovered that our nativity scene has a pump in the well of the manager, so it will pour real water. I don't know how I didn't notice this before, but I've been turning it on ever since!

What would our Christmas tree be without a few Pug ornaments. Now, we just need to get a doberman ornament so Max doesn't feel left out :)

Timber!

We were advised by our home inspector to remove the large tree that you see below. Something about alley rats using it to gain access to our roof (gross). So, the tree had to come down. Joe, Jake, ladder, rope and axes x2 got the job done.

After the tree came down it had to be chopped into smaller sections so we could store it until bulk trash day. And voila no more tree!
