Um...let's go already!


This picture is old but awfully cute. It's from this summer when we took Polly on her first camping trip with the Watson family. She was quite ready to get on the road at the end of the weekend and this was how she showed us.

We Love Fall!

Yesterday Polly and I raked some leaves in the backyard. Well - I raked, she laid in the sun. She found a spot and refused to move so I raked all around her until there was just one little square of leaves left in the yard. Of course I couldn't resist jumping in the pile I had made and I tried to get Polly to jump too but she was quite wary of them. I threw her in but she ran out right away. We thought about hiding while Caleb was at the store and trying to scare him but Polly refused to hide with me. Oh, well. Caleb also jumped in the leaves when he got home. I was hoping do to some more jumping today but our landlord put them all in bags while we were in St. Cloud. Fun-taker-awayer.







After our fun in the yard we drove up to see our friends' Greg & Angie's new baby Owen. He was so frickin' cute I could hardly stand it. I even offered to change his poopy diaper - that's how cute he was. They have a bulldog named Greta and Polly and her got along pretty well.













Greg has some gloves he uses just to play with Greta and Polly tried to join in the fun but really she just ran around and barked. Every once in awhile she did get ahold of a glove and she thought she was really tough.















And here's Caleb with Owen. He was pretty psyched to use the boppy - he thought it was just for breastfeeding so he was surprised when Angie offered it to him. Luckily he didn't have to lactate to use it.
It was so nice to see our friends and Polly had a nice time too. She also says she's really sorry she piddled on the kitchen rug - she was just really excited to see Greta & the new baby.

Still Here!

I haven't written in forever but thought I should put a new picture up here because of course we're still having so much fun with Polly and she's just about the best doggy in the whole world.

This was awhile ago but my mom got a new pup named Keebler and he came over to play with Polly. Keebs is just about the only dog I've ever seen Polly really play with.

We take her to the dog park but she's pretty ambivalent about other dogs. We went last week and I was all excited to see a little Boston Terrier there because I thought she could play with Polly but she was so friggin' excited and ended up barking at her and humping her the whole time until Polly starting nipping at her and then tried to crawl up me to get away from her. But, she loves Keebler and they chase each other all around. It's pretty cute. I think little dogs remind Polly of her puppies. I know she had some because her little belly is all stretched out and man oh man does she have humongous nipples! Caleb's cousin Terri even discovered she has one extra one. Yep, she's a special dog.

And this picture just cracks me up. She looks like a cranky old man - I think we've all felt like this at some point.
