Shh!

looks like somebody over indulged on the margaritas...again.   while tucker and charlie sleep it off, pip would like to remind you if you drink, please don't drive!  have a safe and happy cinco de mayo!

 

I Scream, You Scream

we all scream for ice cream!  ok, so maybe some of us bark for ice cream :)  and charlie might just come up and steal it if you're not careful!   we've been spending a lot of time outside before it gets too hot here.  unfortunately, it's already starting to get to that point.  damn texas heat!

Gather Round

 one of these things is not like the others.  is it ellie, the only cat?  or is it charlie, the only male in the picture?  or maybe it's charlie because he's the only one without a brain.

Breakout

charlie is always looking for the easy way out.  he's even got the neighbor's dog to help him dig a tunnel.

 

Spring Training

the weather has been absolutely gorgeous these last couple of days so we've been spending a lot of time outside! the pups have been practicing their frisbee pull and i think they've got it down pat.  next up, tug of fox.

The Countdown Begins

i think these pictures speak for themselves.  it's been tough not having michael around.  we are all looking forward to having him home soon, even if  it's only for a short time.

Eskimo Wishes

see that look tucker is giving me?  he's thinking "dammit woman, turn on the heat already!" yeah, well until you start paying the bills tucker, you're just gonna have to snuggle up!  if it stays this cold, i will turn the heat on so no one call the spca on me :)

Caught on Camera

somehow i managed to get this photo before charlie took off like a bat in hell.  that cat can turn any dog into a scaredy cat! 

Happy Birthday!

what's that charlie?  did you hear it's daddy's birthday?   i bet all he really wants is a hug.

aww, good dog!  happy birthday sweetie!!  we love you and miss you!!

Dinosaur Bone Update

here's tucker working on the bone.  poor charlie looks on jealously.  i guess he forgot there is another bone just sitting on the floor a few feet away.  the music in the video is an attempt to class up this joint.  :)

The Name Game

it's a new year, time for a new name!  after much consideration, i have decided to rename checkers sir charles longshanks poindexter bojangles harris, aka charlie, aka chuck.  it has a much classier ring to it, doesn't it?  charlie seems to like it better since he's been actually responding when i yell at him to stop barking at ellie. not that he stops, he just looks at me and i can tell he's mentally giving me the finger :)
