Alya got to have a nice long play session with Fly (the Border Collie across the street) today. We were leaving for our evening walk when we saw our neighbor and Fly starting out as well so we caught up with her and made our doggy stroll together. The neighbor was...

What a brilliant idea! We have yet to do our first nail trimming with Ayla but she definitely needs it already...perhaps we can try this method instead since we were going to go for the Dremmel method...http://www.shirleychong.com/keepers/nailfile.htmlThe easiest way...

Princess has found a new favorite watching perch for herself. From the railing around the bottom flight of stairs, Prince can sit and watch what is going on with the puppy whether she is playing, in her crate sleeping, terrorizing us, eating something she shouldn't be...

Well this was an exciting weekend. Grandma and Grandpa were here from the hubbies side and got to meet Ayla finally. They weren't thrilled with the prospect of us getting a dog when we finally told them but since she's our headache to deal with, they've cut us some...
