Brad walking to the bear tree

"I can't believe I'm doing this!"

"Yep I'm doing this!"

Second line, and doing good

"I can't believe I was ever afraid of this!"

I've got this...I think...

Man! I'm going backwards!

Line 3 and doing good.

I think I like this!

This one has a higher drop!

Still doing good...I think I like ziplines.

Needing to stop now

Yep, that's a bigger drop!

Yeah, I can do this again!

What fun we had!

We made it to land!

Yeah that was fun!

Reach for it...

I'm aiming to land right there!

Lounging at the top of the stairs

Brian reading poolside

Our royal lady unimpressed with the packing to move.

"No! I will not move! I was here first!"

Our beds have to be in the kitchen, there's no other room during this move

"Let me check out this new house"

Oh you have a treat for me!

Jess and her friend Sam

I got the ball!

Look at the size difference!

I fit under you!

Lounging at the neighbors' house

Trina with our neighbor Sam

This is how they like to lounge together

This step is the perfect height for a bowl of water

Yep, I'll wait right here inside the backyard til you tell me to come!

Packing is exhausting!

I even fit under Grandma's bed!

Exploring the new house

So where is my sister?

I have a fenced backyard!

Now I don't need a leash outside

Demon dog with a ball, enjoying her new fenced in backyard

No one to play with when they watch a movie

I love you, but I'm lonely!

Lounging on the deck

I think I can still fit under the bed!

Enjoying my new antler at Christmas

You smell strange!

Now I can play with someone!

She's following me EVERYWHERE I go!

Come on! That's enough!

Don't I get any of that food?

"Dad gave that to me! Let it go!" said Jess

Sure you can tuck me in

This is half of the car is mine!

Jess here's your new sister

I'm going to pull you around!

I'm small enough to sit here!

Huh! So this is our outside area?

Lots of new smells here

Umm...I went too far!

I think I can have fun here

Hello, you're taking my picture again!

Her fur has a range of yellow to cream-ish white

This toy is mine, and this one too

I can play this tug game!

I will take it from you!

Nothing can stop me! I'll get that food out!

Cool, I can get the toy out this way!

Just look at those eyes!

Where are you going?

Can I go in yet? It's cold out here!

See I am very cute!

I like cuddling!

Just like Jessica, sleeps on her back.

I can go under this thing called a bed!

Phew! I didn't think I'd get out of there!

Waiting for the doctor to come in

See we get along!

Look at my collar

She's small but takes most of the bed!

Let us in...can't you see it's snowing!

Starting to get too big to stretch out in here

Hanging out with mom

So cute especially when she is sleeping

Hey, this bed is for sleeping on not wrestling!

Waiting for the doctor a month and a half later

I get bigger, but I still keep those cute eyes

We barely fit on here together

New toy! A Dragon!

Hey, I gave it to Jess

I got it! No I've got it!

We'll be carry it

Remind me. Why did we get her again?

Growing more! 6 Months old!

No I'm taking it!

Why isn't she letting us in?

Stop hitting me with the water!

Hey! I'm at school!

I knew she could do it!

Waiting for the others to get their diplomas

Nope! I'm playing with these!

Well, I tried to get my fur all covered in black, so you'd think I was Jess

Life is ruff...need a nap

2 toys in her mouth - ball and a ring toy

I got under here...now how do I get out again?

First time she put her nose out of the window while the car was moving

Why does the doctor take sooo long?

Smile! I'm almost 2
