Bauer is finally coming around...

Most of you know our dogs mean the world to us. When I was pregnant, my biggest fear was the dogs not getting along with Bennett. I even joked that if they didn't get along Graham and Bennett would have to move out.

We actually thought Bailey would have the hardest time adjusting to Bennett but over the last year Bailey and Bennett are buddies. Bauer on the other hand is intimidated by him.

However, Bennett has found away to win over Bauer's heart...through his belly.




Bennett took advantage of the pantry door being left opened. The first thing he goes for is the dog bones.

The dogs here the dog bone box and come running.


Bauer was so quick I didn't get a chance to take a picture but he is off enjoying his dog bone. Bailey is sitting pretty eagerly awaiting her dog bone.

Let the tantrum begin... After I told Bennett that was enough and the dogs had had enough dog bones he went into meltdown mode. I try not to laugh but that face is just too cute.

We take the dogs to the vet here in a couple weeks for their annual check-up. I am eager to see how much weight they have gained. Between Bennett sneaking into the pantry and feeding them dog bones and Bennett sneaking them little bites of his dinner I am sure they have put on a few pounds this year.


Stay tuned for some videos and pictures of Bennett and the dogs playing tug-of-war.

What a ham...

I have recently started going through the several hundreds of pictures I have taken since I got my new camera. It's an awesome camera but a little out of my league. I am still figuring out how to take pictures as well as work all the settings. As I was downloading and sorting through the pictures, I noticed we had several (50 or more) of Bennett eating.
Over the last few weeks Bennett has started mastering the skill of eating with utensils. He has been working on this for quite some time but I finally gave in and started letting him eat the really messy foods by himself.
My floors and walls have never been this dirty and the dogs have never been this fat. But Bennett enjoys it and dinnertime sure makes a great photo op.
Enjoy the pictures of our little ham making a mess.






That is a face of a STINKER!!!

It won't be too much longer...

Sorry it has been so long! I am trying to figure out my new camera and how to get the pics off the camera and onto my computer. I will get it figured out this weekend!

Hope everyone is doing well.

Where to begin...

Our big success this week is Bennett is eating. He has been trying new foods and although he is reluctant he seems to be enjoying them. I hope this is a trend that will continue. We are continuing to see the pediatrician every couple weeks and he remains on this medicine but I am so thrilled to announce he is eating!!!!

We are extremely diligent about closing lids on the toilets for the fear that Bennett or one of the dogs may try to get in or fall in. However, this past week I was folding laundry as Bennett was running from room to room. It got really quite and then I heard a big SPLAT!!!! I ran in the bathroom and he lifted the lid on the toilet and threw a toy into the toilet bowl. This is Bennett's new favorite game. He loves opening the lids of toilets and putting stuff in the toilet. Closing all bathroom doors is a must!
The same day Benentt moved on to throwing his blocks down the stairs through the gate. The video below is the little rugrat in action. Sorry for the poor quality.


Needless to say Bennett is keeping us on our toes.
