Happy New year!

Happy new year to everyone! I know these wishes are a few days behind but we've been busy. Alex and I had a relaxing new years eve. We spent it just hanging out with a few friends. For the past week we've had fun sitting for Gabrina and I wanted to share a few photos from the week.

Gabrina's favorite way to snuggle.

Gabrina thinks the Cats are play mates and she constantly kept trying to give her toys to the cats. Neither of them wanted to play with her and they would usually just hiss at her and often would go as far as to chase her. We often laughed to the point of tears watching big fat bailey run and waddle after Gabrina.

We had to put the kitties food up on the table (a place they are normally never allowed to go) in order to protect their food from the puppy's hungry tummy. Both Bailey and Bree would sit by the table and guard their food 24/7. Gabrina continually went to visit them and would always quickly find out that they still didn't want to play.

Gabrina sees if the kitties want to play.

Today we got to sit for both Gabrina and Mystery. It was a lot of work but a lot of fun at the same time. Mystery has not learned how to play tug with other dogs yet. We spend a lot of time trying to teach her how to play tug and how to get along with Gabrina. By the end of the day they were inseparable and both were completely exhausted from playing so much.

In this shot Gabrina is very patiently trying to teach Mystery to tug with her. It was the sweetest thing to watch! Gabrina would wait and then tug a bit and then wait and then tug a bit again. She kept looking at mystery as if to say...."come on, catch on to how its done, I know you can do it."

Tug with both puppies after mystery knew how to play.

It was a fun afternoon but the kitties are glad to have the house back to their control. They get three days to recover and then Garnder comes for about 12 days or so. Alex and I are off tomorrow to spend the day skiing at vail. This is the most snow they have gotten in December in over 8 years. We should have a nice powder day hopefully.
