Growing Like A Flower


He just keeps growing – becoming less of a puppy, and more of a dog. His coat will continue to change for at least another year.


He’s awfully happy all the time, though.


I sit with my paws crossed!

Auggie’s First Easter Egg Hunt

So I had a great idea. Stick cookies inside of large Easter eggs, hide them… and let Auggie loose. And then follow him with my camera.


Hey, there’s one!


Oh, and another!


“MOM I FOUND ONE!!”


Itty Bitty Bones from Three Dog Bakery is what I stashed inside of them all.


Posing with all of his eggs. Hurray!


He had to make sure he’d gotten the cookies out of all of them.

Auggie’s First Christmas (with me)

Not his first Christmas ever – since he was born in November, he already had a Christmas. But his first Christmas with me!


Oh my gosh, presents! Are these all MINE?? (No, no they are not.)


Wheeee, wrapping paper!


Sharing his new toys with his friend Happy. My mom insisted on getting him that little rubber basketball, which he squeaks relentlessly (and therefore I took it away from him after only a few minutes, before he drove me insane.)
