It's a good idea to begin at the bottom...

in everything except learning to swim. 

We let Finley try out his new life jacket. He looks so cute in it!

He loves the water, but we want to make sure he can swim before letting him in without one. 

Merde il pluet!

For my non French speaking friends...

Shit, it's raining!

If your middle of the road...

all you see is the yellow stripe.

Happy Mother's Day!

Spent the day with my family up in WI. 

I am truly blessed to be surrounded by such LOVE!

Dem Bones...

Finley loves bones.  Our neighbor Kelley gave him a nice, big, juicy one.  She has a friend for life.

One handsome pup.

Finley  (and his mom) love his new groomer. We found a wonderful pet salon called Shear Paradise Pet Salon.  They were so warm and friendly and made Finley feel so at ease. Not to mention they made him look quite handsome.  Thanks Claudia!

Tug of War.

Finley and Taylor enjoy a friendly game of Tug of War. 

Gone Fishing...

Dylan, Taylor and Finley are trying to catch the first fish of the season.

Looks like Taylor was the winner! 

Tragedy and Comedy.

Try throwing a ball just once to a dog. It's like eating just one potato chip.

Finn loves his ball!

The reason a dog has so many friends...

he wags his tail instead of his tongue!

Things are always looking up!

A heart beat at my feet.

Missed you....

I think Finley missed us when we were gone and he is definitely glad we are home.

We missed him too!

Stay.

We'll we're off for a little vacation, but Finley and Starr are staying home to watch the kids. I would love to take Finn with, but I don't think Spain would ever be the same. Be home soon!

True Love.

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.  Morrie Schwartz

I'm just waiting on a friend.

Finley waits patiently for the kids to come home on the bus everyday after school.  

They love it!

Brotherly Love.

I know Finley loves his brother Starr.  Not sure the feeling is mutual. But I think he's a pretty good sport about it.  

Star's day.

Ok, I know it's really Sunday, but I decided to make it Star's day instead. 

I am giving Finley a break from always being in front of the camera. I know he won't mind.

Unconditional love...

Both of these guys give me plenty of it everyday!
And Mike gives plenty of it to his beer, too.

I scream, you scream....

Finn screams for ice cream. 

 Finley enjoyed his first ice cream cone. The kids thought this was awesome. So did Finn.

Sitting Pretty.

He's definitely a poser.
