SpOtLiGhT: BoOmEr

All about Boomie. While Bailey is working in the office, Gracie is sleeping and Suzie is outside, Boomer is somewhere squeaking a toy. To say Boomer loves to play is an understatement. And the squeakier the toy, the better. Boomer was especially playful this summer. With the heat, we were not able to walk the babies, so his energy levels were pretty high. Boomer is our little prince. As our only little boy, he definitely gets plenty of special treatment.


Here is Boomer with one of his late toys. (The toy is no longer with us).


Where we going?



Boomer & Gracie are best friends. I love this picture of them together.


So excited to be boating with his family!


What? Doesn't this bed say my name?


We love Boomer so much. He has been such a blessing to our family. Matt has really enjoyed having a male companion around the house. (Boomer's Aggie football jersey should be arriving any day now). He is my little prince. The girls love having a brother to pick on. Boomer is our little man!

WE LOVE YOU BOOMAROO!

SpOtLiGhT: SuZie

Oh our Suz Boo! While Bailey works in the office and Gracie sleep, Suzie monitors the backyard. Suzie would love to be an outside dog. She is the reason we installed a doggie door. Suzie would rather be outside than anywhere else. It is actually hard to get pictures of Suzie because she is never around. Matt and I try to cuddle with her as much as possible. Besides her regular tummy rubs, she is "Miss Independent."

Here is Suzie's signature move....guilty face then the rollover.



When Suzie does decide to come in the house, she usually plays with toys (more like destroys the toys) and the other babies.


Here is Suzie captured in "Hitler" mode. We have to close the door to the laundry room where the food is kept, otherwise Suzie will stay in there and guard it. She won't leave the food and growls at the others who walk by. If my purse is on the ground, a grocery sack on the ground, etc she will go into this dictator alter-ego. She isn't this way about the communal toys they share though. Luckily. So, needless to say we don't leave anything on the floors for her to guard.

Matt calls her "the keeper of the flame" when he grills. Suzie guards the grill when he is cooking.



We love Suzie so much. She is quirky and has such a distinctive personality. I worry about her the most since she is so independent. I wish I knew what she was thinking. I wish I could afford to live on a couple of acres for her to enjoy the outdoors even more. (But then I would really worry more.) Her long, narrow body acts as a megaphone. You can here her bark from down the street. She is truly a unique girl.


WE LOVE YOU SUZE BOO
