Pupster Update

They're still hanging around despite the summer heat

Naked Dog

Daisy went in for her summer 'do.  She was well past due....

Before - Dirty shaggy doggie!

Walking to the groomers

 Stopping for a sniff at the same stop on the way home!

Home sweet home and naked!

Getting a kiss from Madison -- who missed her sister badly.  What a crackhead.

Such a pitiful pupster couldn't handle being home alone with mamacita

Everyone is happy now :) 

It has been quite the exciting day.

*isn't it awesome that we were able to just walk to the groomers?  i love dormont!

Preparations for the Great Move of 2011 have started.  Boxes are stacked.  Puppies are emotionally exhausted.

The pile of boxes has increased significantly from this level.  24 hours til I get the keys!!

Cuddle Muffin JG's

The JG's were getting comfy the other night while I watched HP7pt1.  (Can't wait for the next half this summer!)

 The view from behind -- they really were cuddling.  I think D. was trying to comfort M since they know "something is up"  based on the tower of boxes in the dining room.

Spring? We wish

 On the first day of spring we hit the dog park.  It was a gorgeous day that is what spring is made of.  Unfortunately it hasn't been so nice since then...

Spring is in the Air

 Excited on the ride over -- we know we're up to something good

Freedom!!!

 Sad to be headed home...

Snow Dogs!

When i think of my first December in PGH it will be characterized by snow.  lots of it.  There wasn't lots of accumulation, but there was lake effect snow for days on end, followed by weeks on end.  The day after Christmas we took the JG's to the park so they could enjoy some play time in the snow.

Good puppies

They knew I was going to leave them again. :(

Settling In

The move is going slowly but surely.  Downstiars has started to get organized and look like a real living space, as have my bedroom and the guest room - so we are ready for visitors.  Just don't peek into the 3rd room.  Its still a work in progress. 

The JG's are getting acclimated to being apartment dogs - and D is LOVING having stairs.  They appear to be a favorite toy.  More updates to come in upcoming days.. particularly once I'm not borrowing internet.

Time for a dip

We've been walking by this fountain for two weeks now.  It was inevitable that we take a dip.  Daisy got a little warm and went in for a little drink... followed by a jump in.  Where Daisy goes Madison follows.  The rest is history. 

Frick Park

It was a gorgeous spring afternoon so we headed to the dog park.  The dogs double deserved it since they didn't get much of a walk when I overslept this morning.  We went over to Frick Park, one of the three large parks in town.  Frick is more natural and wooded -- lots of rolling terrain that looks great for picnicing, trails, and an off-leash area for the quadrapeds.  JG's had  a great time.  It had been so long since they had played with other dogs that they didn't really play too too much with others. They were more interested in going sniffing without me pulling them back.  Whatever, it tired them out and they had fun!

A walk in the park

We have taken lots of walks along the river front. 

Today we scared lots of geese and goslinges into the water.  not exactly sure why???

We tired ourselves out and had a little sitdown at the Confluence of the the three rivers.

Daisy was so tired out when we got back that she flopped over in the hall waiting for the elevator.

All in all, a fun time!

Superstars

The JG's were superstars.
