Jude has learned to clap.

Ruby

Well, with no luck finding Kramer, we decided to get another dog. This is Ruby. She is an 8 week old Boxer puppy.

She enjoys napping with John.

Oh where oh where could that little dog be?......

Well, most of you already know this, but Kramer, the dog we rescued a couple of months ago, has run away. He dug under our fence and has been missing for several days now:( He didn't have his collar on him because I had given him a bath that morning, so he has no identification on him. We called the shelters and no one has turned him in. We figure some family probably found him and kept him since he had no collar and looked like a stray. The breed is very popular so it wouldn't surprise me. Oh well, as long as he found a good home I'm ok with it. I'll miss him. He was a sweet, cuddly dog, however I wont miss his barking. I just feel bad for Dakota. She is a depressed and lonely dog:( She has so much energy and wants to play all the time, but we don't have the time or energy to play with her as much as she demands. So now we have to figure out if we're going to get another dog or not. I'm not crazy about the idea, since after research into different breeds the only breed I would want is a Boxer and they eat a lot more than a little dog and take up more space. Which would be fine if that was our only dog. I WILL NOT get a small breed again! All of them are barkers. So we are trying to decide what to do. I hate seeing her unhappy and bored all the time though. She is a working dog and needs something to do all the time so we either need to get her a canine companion or some sheep for her to herd around. Which would be nice for John since then he wouldn't have to mow:)

I often find Jude sleeping with his tushy in the air. He must get it from Uncle Nathan:)

New Rug

We got a new shag rug the other day for our living room. I thought it would be a nice cozy rug for Jude to play on. He, however, wasn't so sure about it. For a good 5-10 minutes he wouldn't even touch it. It was so funny I had to get the camera. He did finally warm up to it as you can see from the clip. Though, the next day he was very hesitant again, but warmed up to it much quicker.

John and Kramer

Kramer is such a cuddly dog. He loves to be on your lap.

It's Charley Brown!

Christmas Tree

We were getting ready to take down our tree the other day and I realized that we hadn't gotten a picture of it yet, so here are our Christmas decorations this year.
