Playing in the Snow

nobody@vox.com(Amanda) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:37:07 -0500

This past weekend I took some photos of the dogs playing in the snow. They were like little kids running around. Haven's happy jumping as she catches a snowball in her mouth. Here Beacon's fetching his Orbee ball and Haven's "attacking" him. ...

Yesterday we walked to the downtown area three times! The first time we took Haven. We had to go to the post office. And there were ice sculptures being made along the riverwalk. During our first trip out they were just getting started on t...

First Snow of the Season

nobody@vox.com(Amanda) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:50:37 -0500

After a relatively warm November winter has decided to make an appearance. When we went to bed last night there were a couple of inches of snow already on the ground. The dogs loved it. They were chasing each other around. Haven was eating sno...

Fatness

I went to the zoo again today. But that's not really what this post is about. As I was leaving I saw that Nessie had arrived. I'll have to go back again sometime to get some photos of her. But this post isn't about that either. I sat on a pi...

This morning was the annual running of Bailey's Doggie Dash. Andrew hasn't been running much at all this year due to a back injury so he decided to enter the costume contest. He has had this idea for a couple of years but finally got costumes th...

Visiting

nobody@vox.com(Amanda) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 13:55:01 -0400

My parents and Zeke came for a visit yesterday. When we went out for lunch we left Zeke uncrated. This is the first time that he has been uncrated here. He's used to being out of a crate at my parents' house so we decided to try it out here. O...

Doe a Deer

nobody@vox.com(Amanda) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:05:46 -0400

This morning as I was catching up on my Google Reader stuff I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. I looked out the window and saw a herd of about eight deer. Some of them were really close. As in standing in the garden right in front of t...

The Bee is Buzzing

nobody@vox.com(Amanda) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 21:21:27 -0400

We went out this weekend and got Haven's costume for the Doggie Dash, which is the end of October. Since Andrew hasn't been able to run this year he wants to still be able to make the race fun (although how can any race with your dog not be fun) ...

Walking Around the Blandford Nature Center

nobody@vox.com(Amanda) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 11:06:20 -0400

This past Saturday Andrew and I went to the Blandford Nature Center. It was our first time there and we'll probably go back. It's on the other side of Grand Rapids for us and we don't often get out that way. We had to park in a small dirt lot ...

Dog Agility at the Kent County Youth Fair

nobody@vox.com(Amanda) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 11:07:36 -0400

It's fair week in Lowell. We rode our bikes to the fairgrounds yesterday to watch some of the dog agility. There were lots of cool dogs there. And it was fun watching the kids and dogs do their stuff. This dog reminded us of Haven. She (...
