I forgot to add these pictures to my last post. Ever since the day we got him, Riley has had a favorite chair. It’s a little tiny camping chair that sits in our back yard. It’s too small for the kids anymore. I’m not even sure why we still have it. When we first got Riley, he fit nicely in it, and loved to sit in it while out in the back yard.
He’s grown a bit since then. But the chair is still the same size.
It cracks me up the way his butt hangs off the side of the chair. He doesn’t seem to mind though.
Notice how it says “Tot Spot”? Well, I thought it needed a new inscription on it.

Riley is 11 weeks now, and I thought I’d better get some cute puppy pictures before he gets any bigger. He already seems to be about double the size he was when we got him, just one month ago.
Not only is he irresistably cute, but he is a very good model too. A perfect photographer’s puppy. I just put him where I wanted him, and he did his duty and sat there, looking handsome.
This wagon has been hauling kids since the year 2000, when we first produced kids to be hauled. It has sentimental value in our family. Plus it’s fun. The kids like to pull Riley around in it, and he happily obliges them.
Grant’s body pillow. Riley is not picky about which comfy item to relax on.
Isn’t he just so cute?

First of all, Happy Birthday to Kelsey! She turned 5, and the week was marked with a fun bash with family and friends, a new puppy, and a free playhouse for the backyard! Not too many pictures to share, as the photographer aka mom was too busy with all the festivities, I actually took about 5 pictures during her party. Ack! I hate that I missed so many moments on film but the memories are great!
Here’s our new guy, Riley. We were all awed by the amount of sleeping he did in the first day or so. We all sat around that first afternoon with him and watched him sleep, posed with him sleeping for pictures, and laughed when he twitched with puppy dreams.
This picture is with Claire, the day we got him. She our official dog sitter and cuddler extraordinaire. The dog’s feet did not hit the ground the whole time she was here LOL! I have to mention that she has his big brother, and she told me she cried when her mom and dad brought him home, she was THAT happy to have a puppy. He has grown up into an awesome dog and everyone loves him. We are thrilled to have his little bro.
Here’s Riley at the park. He loves chasing the kids and a ball around in the grass. We go almost daily, and look forward to his leash training so we can walk there. For now we have to drive because he’s too little (and not friends with the leash).
I tried to model the birthday cake after Riley. It’s kind of funny, I think. Hey, it tasted good!
Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures of the playhouse but it is really cute, especially after a coat of paint. My sister’s boss was getting rid of it, and Jason rustled up some manly muscles to help him get it here (thanks sooo much to all the guys who helped us that night!). We are so thankful for the “clubhouse”. The kids love having their own special place to hang out.

These stunning Bengal kittens are 9 weeks old, and full of personality! We played for hours. Every single one of them was sacked out when they left:)
They are owned by Jim and Robin Molleur of Mesa Katz.

I just love the little fluffballs!!!
Can you tell I was using a yummy treat to try to get them to stay put? Grant was holding cheese up and this little piggie was begging for some. Ridiculously cute.

It is such a treat to be the personal photographer for my mom- she has the cutest puppies!
The following are from 3 litters, born within a couple weeks of each other. The first 4 are the oldest, at just over 6 weeks (I think). Taking their pictures means lying on the ground and getting licked and cuddled, all the while trying to keep them far enough away from the camera to be able to focus. My kids have the best job- distraction tactics. They get to play with them and try to convince them not to run up to me and nibble on me while I am shooting. Afterwards they run around and nibble on my toes. So, so cute!
BTW, many of these fluff balls are still available- check out my mom’s website at www.carouselhavanese.com
