Theo's new bestie

Theo is so excited about the new Disney movie, "Bolt". Since Bolt is his favorite superdog, we broke down and went to Toys-R-Us. He deserved a little treat especially since he learned how to sit and lie down!

Theo's recent shenanigans

When it's cold, he takes his dinner in what we call his "breakfast nook."
Warming up in front of the vent under the kitchen sink.
Exploring the cabinets.
Sending chain e-mails about the evil plots of squirrels.
Flipping his bed upside down.
Making long distance phone calls to Millie the Maltese in Fairhope, Alabama.

Chasing his tail.

Halloween

We threw a little party for Halloween. Our last minute decorations included carved pumpkins, spiderwebs, blue light bulbs in the lamps for an eerie effect, and purple cardstock bats hanging from the ceiling. The menu included pigs in blankets, baked brie with honey, walnuts and green apples, baked s'mores bars, candy corn, candy, and candy apple martinis. Unfortunately I didn't get pictures but those in attendance were Michael Phelps, two cops, a golfer, a doctor, Raggedy Ann, some kind of mountain man, and Mr. Rogers.
Thanks to the mountain man and Mr Rogers for bringing the joy of bobbing for apples to the party! Here, Officer Carr swiftly succeeds in getting an apple.
Here's Michael's masterpiece. Arrrr....
Here's mine.

The group carving pumpkins. fun!

Fall photos for y'all down south

We have started taking Theo for a daily walk around the block. We actually jog with him. Someone jogs in front and he chases. It is the cutest thing when he runs. We'll have to get a video of that. Here are some pictures of trees along the way. It is very windy today and the leaves swirling around startled him so much that he ran to the door to come inside.



These beauties are across the street from us.

Cupcake Adventures

White chocolate cupcakes with strawberry cream cheese icing.
Perfection.
Cookies and cream cupcakes with cookies and cream icing. Yum!

His name is Theo and he likes to bite our hands...

This is me in my crate. Mom and Dad like it when I sleep all day.
They put my exercise pen outside. Now I can dig my way out! Too bad I was digging on the side of the brick wall.

I don't mean to brag, but I look super cute in black and white.

THEO!

Theo has finally come home and now Marie and I are both really tired. Puppies are hard work. Here are few shots of him to hold you over until exams finish....

I love my mom.

And I love my daddy.

and Henry and I can talk about how much we both love hippos
