Update

A broken 'good' camera 

has put a serious crimp 

in my documenting Oreo 

in the past few days.

Having to rely merely on my i-phone camera is OK, 

just NOT the standard I'm used to!

How's THAT for a total First World problem!?

 Mentioning the word "food"

 is a surefire means 

to get both their attention!

 And, 

while Pearl seems content 

to gnaw on a chew toy, 

Oreo has decided she likes my gloves 

(or socks or pantyhose or bras)!

Surgery coming up for Oreo on Monday -

 getting 'chipped' and 'spade' - 

which I'm sure

sounds more fun than it will be!

Ignorance is bliss!

Gaining on her

Still looks like a puppy, right?

To put it in some perspective...

she's almost as long as Pearl!

So different - 

yet like two peas in a pod!

Diva

Like any other super model

there's only so long she's willing 

to cooperate...

before she absolutely refuses

 to even make eye contact!

Girlfriend is done!

Yes - she is that fast!

4 months old

31 lbs - 

healthy

 and a total delight!!

even when a total mud puppy~

What? another trip to the vet?

Yup... the last of your 'puppy' visits!

Getting to be so big!

This is how persuasion works...

You walk by and notice that sister has something you want.

(Despite all the other options nearby)

 You ask her if she'll share.

When she gives a soft growl and says NO,

you lie nearby 

looking sweet and dejected...

 until the guilt gets to sister and she gets up and leaves...

leaving you with what you wanted.

 

This mama aint raisin' no fool!

So much fun to be in another room

and watch them work it out!

THIS is the very image of a naughty girl...

VERY big lately

 on 'capturing' and chewing 

paper products 

(specializing in kleenex and paper-towels), 

socks and underwear

and trying 

to get out of the yard

at every opportunity!

Time to ratchet up the length of our walks

to tire her out!

All of us are

going for beautifying tomorrow...

shampoo and trims!

Have no doubt

Pearl and Oreo

will return STILL

cuter than me!

Happy 2013!!

So, what do you think - white tassels or red?

OK, I'm ready...

Apparently, some of us aren't feeling the excitement!

OMG, Pearl...

that was just pathetic, Sister!
