Whose Number One!

Well, yes the Buckeyes still are but that was not who we were referring to. We were actually referring to our sweet puppy Belle, she just turned one! Sherri seems to live vicariously through the puppies these days (hence the many ridiculous but cute pics she takes of them) seeing as Shayne is never around and is still meeting new people. So....crazy as it may seem she is obsessed with them and loves having them for company. Many of you suggest maybe just having a kid or two? All in good time these puppies are all we can handle right now. We've decided to post some fun pics of Belle to celebrate her first birthday!
This is Belle's birthday hat Sherri made her isn't she cute? She got a nice big bone but we think she was afraid we were going to take it back because she kept hiding so we couldn't get a good pic.
If you've ever owned any pet before you know how different their personalities can be, no two animals (especially dogs) are ever the same. This is one of the cutest things Belle does. Whenever Shayne studies in this room she sits like this and wines, never budging.
Eventually she gets tired of sitting so she lays down, all the while facing the corner of the door in hopes that Shayne might open it for her.
Then... when Shayne doesn't open the door (because he is trying to study and she just wants to play and keep him from studying) she rests her head. Notice still facing the door and whimpering every once in awhile. It is too cute and of course Shayne or I will eventually give in and let her in for a quick hello. We just think it's hilarious how she faces the door and is so persistent.
This is one of Belle's favorite lounge spots. I love it cause she will just sit like this hanging over the back of the couch forever - doesn't she look so comfy and relaxed? Oh the life of a dog!

I know that's why I said the puppies were all we could handle right now - I can only imagine that a child is 100 times more busy etc. However, I am sure nothing beats being a parent no matter how hard it may be - kids are so fun I can't wait to have one some day.

I only have one little puppy and he is more than a handful. I bought him a cute little costume, much to Ben's dismay, but it didn't fit. I was sooo sad. Your little hat that you made is soo cute. I will have you make Odie one in March. :) Miss you guys and thanks for the little card that you sent. Too cute and I forwarded it to Ben.

Blogging does make the world a little smaller, huh? Zac was thrilled that you found our blog. He said he thinks the world of you guys and wanted me to tell you hi! I agree with you about Thriller- I wanted to take Zac this year but it just came and went so quickly!

i love your dog! that is so funny that she sits there and waits for him. that is what you have to love about dogs. they are so loveable and will do anything to get your attention. i can't believe she let you put that hat on her head.

I remember our dog Jazz did the same thing with me when I lived at home. He would scratch at my door.
When I was not home mom would let him in my room and shut the door. Jazz would crawl under my blankets down at the bottom of my bed and not move. I would get into bed and it would sometimes scare me because I didn't know he was there.
The first time in happen it scared me bad. LOL
He never wanted to sleep with Shayne, He liked me better :)
Also every Christmas with out fail Jazz would some how find his Christmas present and rip it open.
