SITTING WITH THE KIDS

THIS IS SUCH A CUTE PHOTO OF SAILOR AT DOMINIC AND MICHELLE'S AT THANKSGIVING THIS YEAR.  THEY HAD SOME FRIENDS AND KIDS OVER. SAILOR SEEMS TO BE SAYING, IM A KID TOO AND WHERES MY BEAN BAG!

SUGAR THE NEWFIE

Todd's mom in Maryland, kept telling us that one of her neighbors have a Newfie named Sugar. We finally got to see her when we were visting the family in October of this year.  She was adorable (and smelly though). 

CHECKIN OUT THE VIEW

SAILOR LIKES TO KEEP AN EYE ON ALL THE HAPPENINGS ON AND AROUND THE LAKE. HES SO CUTE WHEN HE SITS IN THE SNOW AND JUST CHECKS OUT THE VIEW.

LAZY SUNDAY SAILOR

A snowy Sunday afternoon in late December watching football. . . Sailor has his piggy toy too.

3 Tired Dogs

We went to Dominic and Michelle's for Christmas Day and Sailor played like crazy with Mia  and this is the result! Maize hung out (she so reminds us of Osa in her later years), but she was tired too.

Sleepy Dog

Sound asleep on the bed

HOME FOR LIFE DOG SCULPTURE

Todd and I sponsored a Home for Life dog sculpture which is displayed at the Mall of America outside of Nordstrom until January 2nd.  Of course we did the Newfie!
Different artists painted all the dogs - we like what she did with ours - its not too crazy and is simple yet colorful.  We don't know what we are going to do with it yet cause its huge!!

HOME FOR LIFE DOG WALK

Supporter

TRise and Shine at Home for Life's 2nd Annual Doggone Early Dogwalk at Mall of America

Supporter Todd with his Newfie SailorHome for Life's Doggone Early Dogwalk raised nearly $10,000 for the animals at Home for Life. Thank goodness for day-light savings time! Maybe the additional hour of sleep accounted for the extra turnout for the event which made for a fun morning to support Home for Life. Supporters were treated to Caribou coffee and cider and browsed metro area pet vendor displays before getting their dog's photo with Santa. Supporters and their dogs were accompanied by fun dog themed music for their walk around Nickelodeon Park led by Grand Marshall Sven Sundgaard and Home for Life's Sebastian. Afterward, dog trainers got everyone into the act by teaching a dog trick that could be easily mastered at home, and prizes were awarded to dogs in several categories including the dog who most looked like their owner!

Todd and Sailor made the Home for Life news for the Dog Walk event on November 7th at the Mall of America
 

HALLOWEEN 2010

Got Sailor a stuffed Pumpkin for Halloween.  He likes just putting it in his mouth but doesn;t chew it up. 

Renaissance Fest

Sailor gets SO much attention at the Renaissance Festival. We bought a collar for him at an artfest (he doesnt mind it).  I love this photo as we were in a "pub" and a band was singing and playing in the background. Also, he fell asleep in the wine bar. . . .
