Fur Baby Friday!

Linking up with Mrs. Monologues!!

I apologize in advance for the quality of this picture.  

It was taken with my mother in law's iPhone.  

Little back story...

Before we got Juliet (black), the MIL had another dog, Casey (a small Benji-type scruffy guy), who passed away at a very old age (we think 17 years) when Gunney (yellow) was around 3 yrs old.  So, Gunney was used to being the "pup" of the household for the first few years of his life. 

Even though Gunney was only about 4 years old when we got Juliet, he suddenly turned into the "grumpy old man".  She has so much more energy than he does, and was only a few months old when we got her, so she was very much a puppy. 

This is them, sitting in the same chair, a month or two after Juliet came home with us.  Obviously Gunney was sitting there first and is not too thrilled. 

"Why are you letting her do this to me?"  

She, on the other hand, is SITTING IN A CHAIR! OH BOY! 

Even though it's blurry, this pic cracks me up every time.  

Nothing has really changed since then, either.  :-)

Fur Baby Friday! (a visit from a fur friend)

Waaaay back on Cinco de Mayo (wow this month flew by!!), we had our friends over for margaritas,  ceviche and albondigas soup.  

They brought their puppy, Molly!!, another black lab to join the pack at our place for the afternoon.  She looks like a mini version of our Juliet, but she has more of the stocky build that Gunney has.  I saw her this week and she has already grown out of this "teeny puppy" stage and is tripping all over her too big limbs.  hehehe.   

Aww, puppy! 

 Hi guys!  //   We filled up the plastic kiddie pool for the dogs to splash around in. 

Carrying around a stick she found.  //  Getting a bit worn out...

And....nap time.

It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon and we had a lot of fun eating, drinking and watching the 3 dogs have a good time. 

Fur Baby Fridays!

Our fur babies on their first day(s) home...awwwww!!!!!  

It's hard to remember when they were this little.  

So stinkin cute!!!  Every time I see these I want another puppy.

 

Gunney came home as soon as he was allowed to leave his mama. 

Juliet was a little older and already starting to grow her lanky legs. 

I know dog babies age faster than human babies...

but it still makes me sad to see how fast they grew up!!  :-( 

Fur Baby Friday!

Happy Friday! Today I am linking up with Mrs.Monologues for Fur Baby Friday.

We have 2 crazy fur babies, both Labradors. Technically they belong to my BF's mom (my "MIL") but they stay with us over 50% of the time, so we claim custody!

Gunney (yellow male)has been in the family since December 2008.  

My BF broke his neck off-roading that fall, and my MIL got Gunney to be his companion when he had to be in a halo for 4 months. 

(What's a halo? Yes, it was awful, but an adorable puppy helped!)

Juliet (black female) came around about 2.5 years ago, and is the hyper/pesky little sister Gunney never knew he was missing.  :-)  

 They hang out during the day when we are at work and keep each other company.  

Gunney likes to patrol the neighborhood (from behind our gate) and Juliet likes to try to get him to play with her.  

They both love walks and going to the beach/bay to play in the water. 

Gunney, looking exhausted.  He is very dramatic.

Juliet, looking ready to play, as always!
