Puppy time

We've had Rory for a couple of months and Sam has decided that she is a keeper!


We have a routine in the morning and afternoon so that we can walk them to the bus stop (we can even talk both of them together)


Katheryn likes taking Rory for walks



And Nick just likes cuddling with her (she seems abnormally big in this picture... I think it is just the angle)


The two of these guys like getting into trouble together (at least Sam has someone to blame)


Like a typical Bernese, she can be rude when she wants attention


It is fun having a puppy!

Backyard fun

 You know how there are those memory photos on facebook?
This is one from 5 years ago
Look at how cute these kids are!


Well the kids were playing in the backyard again, and I thought we could get a similar picture


This one had a crazy little puppy involved


Katheryn decided she wanted some more pictures (photo credits to Nick)
Katheryn is definately the photo-shy one of the family, so we take the opportunity when it is offered.


Rory went in for some puppy nibbles


And he wanted some pictures together with the puppy

Our new addition

We have a new member of our family!


Her name is Aurora, but we are going to call her Rory for short (and it's easier for her to learn). She is a Bernese Mountain Dog (just like Sammie) and she is 8 weeks old.


We got her from a breeder up at the cottage, Mount Magic and have been getting updates every week for over a month, and counting down the days until we can  get her.
We decided to introduce Sammie to his new sister at a neutral location, a local park.


He wasn't all that impressed with her.


That's ok, She made up for it by looking really cute.


This was the closest she could come


When we got Sammie we didn't have any children, but we remember the nipping and the tearing up the toys. And Sam actually ate our wall.... 4 times. So we were ready with lots of toys, and practicing with the kids that she will be nippy and she doesn't mean to hurt you, but she is playing and is only a baby


It was fun to go shopping for her, and buy all kinds of pink-girly toys collar, bowl and leash. Yes, we went all girly!


Nick has been really enjoying her and walking with her. She likes to go underneath his walker as he is walking, and tries to eat his wheels.


Once we got home the kids really like cuddling with her


I think someone is in love


She is really good. An excited puppy, but also loving and playing and still cuddly.


 Even Sammie is starting to come around
