Our Little Boy is Growing Up

Oh boy. 

I cleaned today.  After I spent 30 solid minutes looking for (and finding!) my cleaning CD, aka: Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack.  It’s an awesome soundtrack, in case you need some new tunes.  But, I digress.  The point is that I cleaned!  Yay!  Which means that very, very soon you will have the privilege of seeing some more after photos of the apartment. 

But not yet.  No, first I must catch up on some other news that I know you are all dying to know more about: Reggie’s date. 

 Meet Alice:

Isn’t she lovely?  Reggie thought so.  While he spent a lot of time playing with her, he also spent a decent amount of time trying to get in her britches.  And he wasn’t exactly discrete about it…if you know what I mean.  Anyway, here are a few more pics of the pups playing in the yard. 

The spectacular yard that you see belonged to a friend of Steve’s from work by the name of Jessica.  Jessica and her boyfriend Dave hosted us for the puppy play date, a wonderful dinner of lasagna, and a football game...though we felt it important to leave before the Vikings game against the Saints as some of us can become quite irritable when our choice of team doesn’t do so well.  Not to fear, though, our choice did great J. 

But, back to the play date.  It was a lot of fun.  So far in Reggie’s life, he hasn’t really had the opportunity to play with a dog his own size one on one.  The really cool thing was that Reggie and Alice were about the same size in both height and weight, and they played the same way.  They boxed.  It was really fun to watch and, next time, I’ll take my little camera and try to video tape some of their playing.

But, the best part of the play date was this:

 

For the entire play date, Reggie panted because Alice was wearing him out.  And for the next two days, he pretty much slept. Poor guy.

Cheers,

Amanda
