Birthday boy

Little Rascal turned one year old today! He actually blew (snorted) out his candle!

Summertime chillin

Boo on the new couch.

Males are the same in all species.

Kritter decides it's time to go for a ride.

I got Kritter a shirt to cover up his bad haircut. It looks so much better a little but grown out!

Boo is a handy woman.

Random pics

Rascal posed for me in a sunbeam coming in through the blinds.

Then he became a little annoyed at my picture taking.

Boo cannot let anyone get more attention to her.

Shhhh, you can't see her - she's in Peekaboo camouflage.

Every now and then I can sneak into the house without waking up the babies in jail.

One thing is for sure about pugs - they always find a comfortable place to lounge. In this case, it's Alan's boxer basket.

Boo and Kritter mixing it up

The beard is gone

The last guy of Alan's good friends got married this summer. Alan was a little reluctant to let the last Kyle guy go ; ) Don't worry, Alan shaved before the wedding. He's now been in more weddings than I have! Listen up, friends of Kara, buckle down and commit already, 'cause I can't let Alan beat me at this!

The puppies has to make the car trip to College Station in crates — gasp!

Kritter was trying to guilt me into letting him out with this face. He made it every time I turned around to look at him, but returned to normal tongue-out chill face when I wasn't looking. It was a flashback to the game he played on me when he was neutered.

We're still diligently working on the training so that Kritter and Rascal know we are the bosses and that they don't have to fight it out for the top dog position. They're doing really good, so soon we'll be able to work on things like fetching the paper, doing the dishes and ... not pooping inside! Boo still feels it's beneath her to make a special trip to the backyard just for that.

Kritter isn't doing much to help train the pups, as he's just as rotten as they are.

Rascal may be the most obedient out of the whole bunch. He always hops right into jail when you I tell him.

Rascal's yawn

I've been playing with the continuous shoot feature!

Anatomy of a puppy tussle

A day isn't complete without a play fight.

The players:

Peekaboo

Rascal

Come here - let's wrestle!

Boo takes him down!

Pooped!

Red, white and Boo

Happy Independence Day

A couple weeks ago I trimmed Kritter - and I got a little overzealous. I bought him a shirt so he wouldn't be embarrassed about his bad haircut when people came over for our party today.
He pouted, so Alan took it off. Bah - men.

Alan making his famous cobbler.

Boo is pooped - too much socializing!
