silly dogs

I've realized I don't think I have any pictures of my oldest two children on my blog yet. So, I decided to snap a few pics of them and officialy introduce them!

Cali Ann turned 8 on November 4th. Reno turned 7 on August 8th. They're are our first babies, and we love them!!

RENO:
He gets these bubbles when he druels for food! I wish I got my camera out in time before the bigger bubble popped! He had two huges ones together with yummy drips dropping down!


I don't know how this is comfortable for him, but he lays like this often!

Reno is such a sweet boy and devoted husband to Cali! When it's time to go out and come in, he always lets Cali go first. He always makes sure he goes out with Cali. -Even if he just went out without her and when he comes in Cali wants out, he'll go out again with her.
Yeah... rub my belly...

And, he even tattles on Cali if she's being bad. For instance- if we're upstairs getting the kids ready for bed and Cali is downstairs getting into the trash- or getting a plate off the table- Reno will come upstairs and pace around us, telling on Cali for being bad! lol

Yes... that's Zach's work shirt...

He didn't like it... lol

He's a very lovable dog, and wants to be close to the ones he loves! If we're in a room of the house and switch room, he'll get up and follow us to the other room and lay down. -Even if I'm just going into a bedroom briefly to put clothes away- he'll follow me in and wait until I'm done, then follow me out. What can I say- he loves me! lol!

CALI:
Cali is too smart for her own good. She loves going on walks and is an excellent leash-trained doggy! She's super patient with the kids and loves playing tug-o-war. When Reno rough plays with Zach, he'll 'bite' only your hands. With Cali, it's open to where ever she can get ya- except your hands! lol She loves pulling socks off of feet. And- she's a pro at silently getting a plate off the table without spilling a thing! (even a bowl of cereal w/milk still in it!) I guess she wants to help me get on the ball with clearing the table! lol The kids have learned though that she'll clear the table regardless if you're done or not- so don't leave your seat or your food is fair game to her!

Here's Cali, mid-bark. I swear she barks at every little thing! She's a great watch-dog, however annoying sometimes!

This is a little girl I babysat for a week in the spring. Cali Loves babies!!




So, there! Now you know my doggies! They're part of our family and we love them!!
