Not letting them lie

Unsuspecting tired dogs, sleeping peacefully...



"Oh crap she turned the light on. Try playing dead."


sotto voice: "Is it working? Is she falling for it?"


Why has the dog-god forsaken me? She won't go away!


Although annoyed, no puppies were injured in the course of blogging...

Puppies who play become tired

Very tired puppies.


Very very tired puppies


Please to ignore the laundry.

Hail + Puppies = Fun!

A storm front blew through town today, so the puppies saw hail for the first time...

At the first sound of hail, Bianca runs to the door. What is this?


Buddy quickly joins...


Daddy, what IS all this?


Whole lotta hail + puppy wading pool


Another view, post-storm (puppy drinking bowl + gazebo)


When the storm breaks, puppies are ON THE MOVE, inspecting this strange event...


*Sniffsniffsniffsniffsniff*


Pretty picture of the hail burning off in the sunshine as steam around the peony bush

Tired puppies

After a 2-hour hike and a play in the yard, they're finally pooped. People wonder why I have no free time...

Hmm, perhaps just a wee little nap...


I'll snooze right here beside ya, sis...


A rare Mischief sighting.
Are those dogs out there? I'll hiss at them if they come in here.

A teeny tiny Dane

Sometimes when a Great Dane is very tired, she wants to be small. Bianca can be remarkably compact when she's of a mind to...

New Brother!!

Bianca has a new brother. "Buddy" (previously "Chappelle") is a sweet tempered, well behaved, shepherd mix. His boundless energy and loving nature are a great match for our giant hound. Bianca loves her new friend so much she's almost forgotten about *us*!

I chase you around this table!






I'm not afraid of you!


When in doubt, CHARGE!


We might be getting a little tired now...


That's it. We're done. Pooped. Couldn't play if we wanted to.

Puppyzilla

Jumping up on people is FUN!

My husband is 6'4", to give the picture some perspective. Bianca is just over a year old - so still quite a bit of growing to do. We certainly hope that will take the form of filling out, versus getting any taller...


Hard to believe she once looked like this...
