dogs
Nose licking retaliation.
dogs
BAP! Stubby brass paw to the ear!
dogs
When these two fight, they make weird honking noises and if you were in the other room you would think it was geese and not dogs. Total weirdos.
dogs
Hahaha. This photo makes me laugh out loud. (I also like how there's a rat in the background.)
dogs
Back at the apartment later that night, we snuggled with dogs...
dogs
Aw, really?
dogs
On my way out the apartment on Monday morning I walked into the living room and these two were just sitting on the couch like this side by side. Total buds.
dogs
Edie was there too. It was a regular dog party.
dogs
Later that evening, Meredith's friend Blair came over with his new puppy!
dogs
Hahaha. Maddy was like "I'm a dog! What are you?"
dogs
Look, she's one of you guys!
dogs
On Sunday we took the dogs to the dog park together for the first time!
dogs
Biggest lap dog ever!
dogs
I love how her stupid feet go in opposite directions. Landing gear up, please.
dogs
Look at how Maddy used to fall asleep! All balled up light a little speckled hedgehog.
dogs
Such winning hounds.
dogs
Speckly pals.
dogs
...and then they settled in together.
dogs
I love how Maddy looks like she's sitting in a little hand-seat. Hahaha.
dogs
Edie turned in circles padding the bed down...
dogs
Puppy kisses are the best.
dogs
I told Leigh that Edie and Maddy had become buds in her absence and put the dog-bed on the couch to demonstrate.
dogs
Puppy bellies!
dogs
Later that evening, Ellen brought Piper over to meet Maddy.
dogs
It took her all of about 10 minutes to use her razor sharp puppy teeth (and tiny puppy raptor claws!) to create a puppy-sized hole in the gate's mesh that she could easily wriggle her way through! Most adorable jailbreak ever!
dogs
Aw, really?
dogs
She was so cold when we got her back inside that we had to wrap her up in a towel-nest.
dogs
The world's tiniest bean feel asleep with her little chinny-chin our our Meredith's lap like this.
dogs
Tiny dog in a pink shirt!
dogs
Taking the doogs out for their first walk together in the Stuytown courtyard.
dogs
Dog friends?
dogs
...and was surprised to find that Edie (who you can see has her dog-toenails painted!) considered my lap off-limits to Maddy. Haha. MY LAP!
dogs
Maddy was forced to slink away in what is probably the most adorable picture of dejection ever taken.
dogs
On Sunday afternoon, Scott brought Edie over to our apartment so she could meet Maddy. Maddy was as interested as she was concerned and kept getting chased in worried circles by Edie. Look at her eyes in this photo. Haha.
dogs
But a couple minutes later, they were both excited to learn that my lap has a two-wiener capacity.
dogs
She kept seeking refuge in my lap...
dogs
Peanut Butter Dreams (while wearing a little neckerchief!).
dogs
Happy Birthday, Ellen! We love you! Check out how zonked out Piper is.
dogs
Piper loves peanut butter.
dogs
Haha.
dogs
We decided to give her a little bit of peanut butter and then take pictures of her huge tongue!
dogs
With Ellen out of commission, Piper was left in our charge.
dogs
Piper's tongue is so large she has trouble keeping it in her mouth.
dogs
Adorable.
dogs
Dinner time for Big Red! Teddy is a speed eater.
dogs
On Saturday morning, we lazed around the apartment, caught up and got on our relaxation on.
dogs
Tiny teeth!
dogs
Yes, hello?
dogs
Just doing some 'sploring.
dogs
Brett, Ted and Mer.
dogs
Amy with their full-size daschund, Teddy! We'd seen pictures of him for months but this was the first time we were meeting him and he was a little shy. Full-size lap-chicken!
dogs
Aw, seriously? I called Roxane (the breeder) that day and confirmed that we wanted her. (Here's a link to Roxane's Daschunds if anyone is interested! She's was great and we highly recommend her!)
dogs
As soon as I saw this photo, I was like "THAT'S OUR DOG." Meredith was excited and was like "YES!" (Later, Meredith told me that she didn't think the dog was all that cute but she trusted my judgement. Haha).
dogs
Special appearance by Edie and Thomas!
dogs
Edie has junkyard teeth! Edie has junkyard teeth!
dogs
Later that night I went over to Leigh's. Here's me playing Edie like she's a guitar.
dogs
Friends!
dogs
Edie's favorite place to sit is a person's chest.
dogs
The wreath we'd taped to our door fell off and it was sitting in this chair. Piper discovered it there and turned the wreath into a feathery little dog nest!
dogs
Pah-thetic.
dogs
Hahah. On Sunday night Ellen came over with Piper. Piper's tongue is too long to fit in her mouth so it always peeks out.
dogs
Lazy Saturday.
dogs
A-dorable.
dogs
Happy Halloween, Crayola Weasel!
dogs
Edie sort of got used to her costume and kept it on even after we left the park.
dogs
Don't even get me started on the awesome homemade jetpack.
dogs
Space dog won first prize at the parade. (Which was probably well-deserved because it can't be easy to train your dog to be cool walking around with a big plastic bowl around on his head).
dogs
Pathetic.
dogs
Who's the happiest little Mariachi dog?
dogs
On Saturday night Ellen came over! Happy September 2008!
dogs
I Friday I hung out with my dog-buddy Edie.
dogs
...and dogs alike!
dogs
Piper!
dogs
Sarah was sad because she and Brandon had just broken up so I serenaded her with some soulful tunes of loss on my wooden pan-flute.
dogs
This is one of my favorite pictures of Edie. Aaaah-dorable.
dogs
On Thursday evening, Leigh stopped by and dropped off Edie to stay with us for a couple of days while she had to travel.
dogs
Awwww, Tina!
dogs
TINA LOVES TO EAT HAND! NOM NOM NOM.
dogs
I got home in the evening and this one had no idea that I was out secretly shopping for rings all day! Tee hee hee! Here's Meredith with her friend's dog that we were dog sitting for! Her name is Tina!
dogs
Sensing that the yucks would be hard to top, Ralph decided to "go big" and suggest, uh, whatever this is a photo of. Hahahah. Soooo fucking awesome. (PS - whose dog is that???)
dogs
This girl (whose name I don't remember - sorry!) joined our team and we immediately started racking up points: "Team member walking someone else's dog" 10 POINTS!
dogs
Dog in a bag! Dog in a bag!
dogs
After the last contestant sang, the judges went off to confer on the winner and I headed away from the stage to a little nook in the front corner of the bar to see what Brooke, Casey and Ryan were up to.
dogs
Me and Leroy.
dogs
Turns out they were rocking the fuck out with Leroy...
dogs
Look at me totally off my mark! I was pulling my best tough guy face when everyone else had clearly decided (even Piper!) that it was a cute and cuddly moment. Check out Piper's tongue! As soon as we saw it sticking out in this photo, we decided to play our favorite Piper-game...
dogs
...which is called GOT YOUR TONGUE.
dogs
Pipes in the corner making friends.
dogs
Here's Ellen a couple minutes later after she'd gotten all settled in (Drink. Hair Pulled Back. Dog Unpacked).
dogs
After we'd finished eating a HUGE Thanksgiving meal, Zoe the dog was totally in awe of...
dogs
...the mysterious flag-wrapped snoring lump that appeared on the couch!
dogs
I love how Piper looks all cute and frisky in this photo...
dogs
...and totally passed out in a food coma in this one. "Rub. My. Belly. *groan*"
dogs
Then on Tuesday night, Ellen and Piper came over. Our official first guests in the new apt!
dogs
On Tuesday evening, Murdo came by to say hi! Check out Hector all bundled up in his backpack! Murdo rides his bike everywhere and this is how Hector travels with him when he's biking! Hahaha. Sooooo good.
dogs
Oh, and taking turns wearing Monkey like a little dog-hat.
dogs
I made it to the bar around 6pm and was stoked to see that Lisa and Pauly had brought their dog Pizza to the bar and that he was already showing off his amazing balance skills on the top of the booths.
dogs
Meredith's not much for "going out on a school-night," so I said farewell to her (and to Hector dressed up in his little Hulk-a-mania shirt) and headed out to hit the town all skulled up!
dogs
Here's Meredith making sure our little competitor stays warm by stashing her away in her purse!
dogs
Hahaha. This one was so funny I had to include a close-up.
