Cricket learned a new trick - playing dead. She spends much of her day snuggled up stairs in the warmth of all of our machines learning through osmosis. 

Even though Lola is around, the kitties still run this house. Here's the man snuggled up in his bed.  

Lola has quickly learned what beer o'clock is! Smart!! 

Lola now gets to play with her neighbor Shelby. Shelby is teaching Lola who's boss.  

Annie also showed Lola how to have a bit of fun in the sprinklers - Lola was suspicious - maybe next time she will dive in.  

July 20, 2005 - Our neighbor, Cathy and her dog Annie have signed up to help Lola learn the ropes. Cathy trains dogs as a hobby and our first lesson is to walk on the leash and sit before crossing the street. The first day was a success - she is a smarty pants! 

Happy Birthday to Lisa!!! This photo was snapped at Heather's big Gala event in Billings in February. Lisa snagged the winterland decoration - which obviously makes for a great photo prop. Here's to Lisa having a FABULOUS birthday!! We can't wait to see you in August!  

Lol loves her Aunt Amy, and Aunt Amy loves Lola - now she is after Uncle Josh's heart. She has a cute little belly of freckles (taking after her mom and dad) and quite a face. Amy brought over some fun toys (Pink Chew Ball and a Tugging Frisbee) and Lola is in heaven.  

We are taking advantage of our clean slate and starting Lola's training early. Learning to walk on a leash is hard! We have had 3 walks so far and this morning we went for 3 miles (good job for tiny legs). When we returned Lola retired into her bed for a nap. She is doing very well on the leash and loves to meet other dogs as we are out and about. Yes, we are quite the rave with a little puppy around.  

Say hello to Lola! On Saturday we picked up our newest member of the family - Lola is 9 weeks old and if FULL OF ENERGY. We are doing a slow introduction to the cats - but so far only a few hisses. Here is an action shot of the little devil showing her tiny teeth - which are quite sharp - we are overwhelming her with chew toys.
