O Tannenbaum!

Keller is a little weirded out by the new strange creature in our living room. Ah, fresh balsam fir that's NOT a chew toy, dog!

GOBBLE GOBBLE!

Keller hopes everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!! Here's her family photo to mark her first Thanksgiving. She enjoyed a feast of dog food with turkey, among the various other items she was probably slipped. :)

Treat Stealer

On Tuesday we had to go to Leashes and Leads to drop off some tickets, and I let Keller wander around the treat aisle, sniffing up a good find (I liken it to being a kid in a candy store. Or me in a coffee shop or craft store or bakery). She found one - started munching on it, actually - so we got that and a bone and upon leaving, one of the customers wanted a picture with me to prove to her husband that she saw me there (time out: heehee).

So her and her daughter had a dog or two and I knelt down with Keller, who in one swift movement, lunges at the plastic treat baggy the girl has, and chomps out a big piece and manages to snatch three treats. I stood there with my jaw open. Like she hadn't gotten a treat in a year or something to that nature.

So I handed over the treat we had bought since I felt bad. Keller, in the meantime, is googly goggly eyed and is now eyeing up where else she can steal treats from. I've safe-guarded everything at home.

Poop-y!

Keller has now chewed up two feather pillows and yesterday morning I awoke to this shredding noise...think, soft fabric...and here she's going after the comforter. I thought I was dreaming. No, I wasn't.

After two straight days of hour plus visits to the dog park, however, she's tired out. In honor of my birthday today (or just because it's Friday the 13th - who knows) she rolled in a nice pile of crap at the dog park. I was forced to bathe her when I got home. Oh. My. Goodness. The smell...the smell!!!! I almost passed out on the way home!!!!!

Bed Warmers Part 2

Seriously, Keller is too spoiled. This is where she ends up after our morning walks/runs. And she gives you this sassy look that says, "What?"

So...we gave in to rawhides...and so far she is doing good with them. I think she learned her lesson after she scarfed down a huge bone in a day two weeks ago. Now she knows to take her time on them. :)

Keller got to spend some time with grandma and grandpa Anderson on Thursday and Friday morning - they came to the Twin Cities. She's now staying with nonnie and papa MacPhail since Dave and I drove to Neenah late last night to go buy another car to fuzz up. :)

Keller - takin' care of of overly stuffed pillows and cigars, since 2009.

Confused Puppy

Snow? In October?

We had Santi over yesterday so Seth and Sarah could go to the Twins Game. When they arrived, I looked out to see a white Pontiac Vibe - the exact same one we have - and it literally caught me off guard for a minute - I seriously thought Dave was home (which was weird, because he was in Chicago). LOL!

Anyway, Santi and Keller tore it up, which is good, because she is already incredibly mellow this AM. Or maybe that's because there's snow on the ground. :)
