Kip & his Hot Mamma

More of the dogs' life

  The whole bed is soft - why does Toby have to lay on our clothes!

 Kip loves his Uncle Ryan - sort of

Looking back

 Today when I took these pictures...

 This picture came to mind. This was 6 months ago.

Stephanie's little Kip is almost a year old and has grown so much!

The first time we met him he was a lightweight.

Now we (usually Ryan) refer to him as the Bulldozer, Chunk, Low-rider.
(He still looks a little nervous sometimes.)

And its been almost 2 years since Toby came home to be our little buddy.

 We had no idea how thankful we'd be for this dirty little pooch,

 

That started out so afraid but now doesn't know a stranger.

 Now we don't know what we'd do without them!

Day with the dogs

Kip is the new photography subject - sorry Toby - you're old news. Plus exposing Kip's highly contrasting fur colors is a challenge.

Kip always wins and Toby tries to pretend that he doesn't care.

Sabbath afternoon nap

Not sure how this is comfortable for Kip but its clear he's one of the family.

3 dog days

Its hard to get anything done with these guys on your lap...

Toby & Wally sleeping peacefully, unaware that their lives are about to change...

We went to get Kiplin from the same shelter Toby came from - Stephanie found him online and wanted him for her own.

Back when he was still unsure of himself.

3 dogs is quite a lapful

Poor Wally felt like his place as the youngest had been usurped.

Kiplin liked Toby's bed.
