Flash and his Buddy

 

Jason and I don’t really have anything exciting going on these days, so we pretty much just take pictures of Flash. We’re okay with being unexciting for once! Jason and I were so excited because another young couple with a Boxer moved into our neighborhood, right down the street. They have a 1 year old Boxer named Deeohji (They were stationed in Japan for a year, the name sounds Japanese but really it is just D.O.G., we thought that was a super fun name). Flash and Deeohji get along very well and they are good at making each other tired, which is good for us!

A Little Warm Weather

IMG_1534IMG_1536

We finally got some warm weather. Well…..warm is relative. Warm enough to sit outside with a fire and have a picnic. Jason and I had such bad cabin fever, we really didn’t care, so we packed up the car, and Flash, and headed out to Loudon County for a picnic. It doesn’t look that nice outside, but compared to what we have had it wasn’t too bad, and yes…..that white stuff is snow, for those of you who might not know what that looks like.Smile

Relaxing and loving the 60 degree weather and the fire.

Our unfortunate little monster….

So, our “little” monster currently spends most of his time getting into trouble. Really, he is still such a good dog, and he is actually very well behaved. However, mischief tends to be the usual around here these days. Our little man is not so little anymore…about 70lbs and still going strong. His latest project is attempting to break out of every cage/dog house we put him in. This latest project of his also broke his bottom canine tooth this week, when he conveniently busted the entire front out of his cage during the day. Jason and I never really know what we’re going to come home to. We have added extra metal clips (he broke those), zip ties (he ate those), and chairs (he climbed over those) to his cage apparatus. The good news is that once he gets out he’s actually well behaved and doesn’t really mess with much…usually we find him under a blanket on the couch. I suppose it could be much worse, we could come home to him eating the couch.

Lastly…..SUPER upset that there is a cat in our yard looking up at him!

More Snow!!!!

I am so very behind in my blogging. I don’t really have a good excuse except for the fact that our life isn’t all that interesting right now….and we’re okay with thatSmile We have had snow every week since Christmas. I really can’t complain, because this week was my first full week of school without a delay, or early closing since before Christmas. However, this is NOT good for the darling little children who crave a little structure in their lives. Let’s just say the teachers were pulling the little monkeys off the ceiling this week. We have gotten some ice and such, but not a very good accumulating snow that Flash could really go out and play in. Finally we got a good 6 inch storm and Flash was super confused! This was the first time he had every been outside when the snow was dumping. Once he decided it was okay, he had a lot of fun running around.

Football at Geoff and Kathy’s House

We went to Geoff and Kathy’s house to watch the Raven’s Steeler’s game last weekend. Just took a few pictures of the adorable kiddos.

Post Christmas Mischief and some other funny pics

FLash got some news toys that didn’t last very long. Apparently now that he is almost 1 he thinks he rules the universe. He is getting to be a very naughty little pup.

Trying to look cute while making a mess of our house.

In addition to his regular trouble he has also figured out how to be the great Houdini and make himself quite comfy. He figured out houw to move his cage around while he was in it and gather towels from the laundry and pull them in his cage. One day we got home, and he had gotten out of his little home and turned the TV on and was laying on the couch. You had to see it to believe it. He also ate the remote, which was unfortunate.
