Too cute!

Sorry I had to post this! This is how Kai greets me when I get home everyday, how could you not feel loved!!!

Finally a post not about the dogs!

At the end of July a group of us went up to the Pemberton Music Fest. and it was fabulous! There were thousands of people, lots of sun, a little rain and Tom Petty! It was more than worth while to go just to hear him live, cause lets face it I wasn't about to push my way through 40,000 people just to see the stage. All the music was good or at least interesting, the camping was nice except for the lack of water for showers and the complete lack of bathrooms in our area. Thank goodness for the Emergency Personal Pass that got us to an area with real flushing toilets! they were very posh!! The entire weekend was just fun, hanging out, eating truly good Kettle Corn, listening to music and as we drove out of Pemberton at 11 am Sunday morning giggled at the insane line up of traffic waiting to get to the festival for the last day. We finished off a good day by stopping in Whistler (I'd never been there before) for a quick look around and then stopping in Squamish for lunch at a really nice pub. We made the 7.30pm Ferry and was home in time to tuck the pups, have a very long show to get the layers of dirt off and get a good nights sleep. All in all an excellent time!

Summer Fun

So around the middle of July we had Kai's sister Poppy and her family Darren and Max over for dinner and a play. All three dogs got along great! Kai and Poppy immediately took to play and Indy wandered around getting love from the people and acting as ref for the pups. Poppy had probably a good 10lbs. on Kai and used that extra weight to her advantage, but Kai is lean and fast. She out maneuvers Poppy and she still fits under vehicles when escape is required! The girls had a great time hanging out and the only casualty of the evening was poor Indy got her nose scratch when one of the little ones got a little over zealous about a large bone. (in the pic of the 2 puppies Poppy wears a black collar w/ green tag)

Also this summer Bill decided to build a green house. It's going to be beautiful when it's finished...it even has slate floors. The dogs have helped allot in the building process as well, Indy is foreman so she lays in the shade and watches intently while Kai is into excavation and everyday digs a new whole under the green houses foundation. We don't expect the green house to last long if Kai continues to contribute!!!! I went to start staining the green house the other day and Kai insisted on helping by attacking the can of stain....and if I can colour my hair purple she can stain hers orange!

A quick update on how the girls are adjusting and GROWING! Kai is a crazy 43lbs at 4 months old when we tossed her on a scale last week. Indy on the other hand has lost weight since Kai arrived, she's so much more active with the little monster around. Indy is so mobile and her knees and elbows hardly ever both her, we rarely see her limping now! We've had to up the food levels for both girls and Kai now eats almost as much as Indy. We now serve almost 5.5lbs. of meat and veg a day!!! I watch the girls playing together in the evenings, tag and keep away seem to be their favorite games. Indy no longer tolerates but has accepted and Kai still harasses everyone...she's a puppy what can you expect. Kai and I are starting puppy classes in a couple of weeks, it should be very exciting!
