Happy Birthday!!!!

Rosie started to get ready for her party very early by trying on her new hat. I think she is far more impressed it looks. With the hat and a special doggy peanut butter/carrot cake she was eager to begin the festivities...I mean eating.

With the candle blown out it was time to chow...

What a mess...but delicious. I must admit I tried it and it tasted like peanut butter cardboard. Maybe it would have been tastier if it had some sugar in it...but Rosie LOVED it!

And finally a short video. (FYI Tilt your head 90 degrees to the right to watch...hee hee)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSIE!!!!

New Wheels!

Beautiful Day

It was an absolutely perfect day for the beach. Rosie and Lucy had a blast. She swam a lot and got a "little" dirty in the sand. Great fun!

When the Cats Away...

The dog shall...get into trouble.
She claims it was "accidental".

First Trip to the Beach

Lucy invited Rosie for her first trip to the beach. It was a resounding success and Rosie is eager to go back for more. It was absolutely beautiful there with lots of waves for the dogs to play in.
Believe it or not, we did bring more than one bumper. But why have your own if you can share... More sharing of the bumper.

Rosie was here...

Running and playing...

One final Rosie picture.

NOT Dishwasher Safe

So...um...when you see this:

on something, I recommend that you don't ignore it! Sadly we didn't see it until it was too late. This is the unfortunate result:

So much for Rosie's portable food/water/bowl kit.

Wrestlemania...

With Heather and Andrew away in Europe we are babysitting Lucy. Lucy has always look down upon Rosie as an immature and obnoxious blight on her life...but all that has changed. With a little time and perseverance Rosie has won her over. We now have daily WWF Wrestlemania sessions. Here is a little video sample of the chaos...

Even Lucy loves Rosie now.

Swimming!!!!!

Big news in the Nuttall-Shurtleff household...Rosie is finally swimming. Everyone who knows Rosie, knows that this skill has been alluding her up until now. She prefered to walk underwater and come up sputtering...until now. Here are some pictures from our walk this morning...

Here is Rosie looking at a tree. I wonder what she sees...

A raccoon!
And now for the proof...

Here is a short video of her swimming.

I am very happy that she has mastered swimming but I must admit that the wet and odourous dog that is cuddling with me right now is slightly unpleasent.

Some Goings On...

It's been a while since I have put up some pictures so I figured it was about time. Rosie just passed her 9 month birthday and she is as amazing as always. We are babysitting Lucy for a few days so here is a picture of a dog pile. The couch can't hold too much more... The dog pile again...

A perfect sleeping puppy. There is still nothing better than the sound of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's.

And me and my new shoes. They are going to make me soooooo much faster. I think I have to add some pink and purple flowers to my bike to make the look complete.

And finally a short video I took on a nice snowy walk a few weeks ago.

Favourite Song

Here's a link to a song I really like:

Trouble...

Day 4 - Post Spay

What can I say. For a puppy used to living her life tired, Rosie is really struggling...maybe I should say we are really struggling with an under-exercised dog. Her surgery went as planned and she is on the mend but that does not mean she is not driving us CRAZY! Here is a collection of the trouble she is getting into. This is what happens when you try to get a nice picture of the dog...hello!

That would be my shoe...

And my hat...

I didn't take a picture of the underwear she brought me. Hopefully we will survive the final 3 days or so of restricted exercise!
