spring has sprung

It was a another beautiful day here in the Northwest. So what's a girl to do? Throw on some layers and head to the woods that's what. This afternoon Miss K, Miss Maya and I headed over to Point Defiance to get some fresh air and to snap some pictures of course.

there was definitely some dirt that got eaten as well...I didn't really try to stop her, first time for everything right? Mr. Awesome will be proud.

a day at the park

Our Miss Mayapolis Papaya has recently been putting on some weight due to dreary weather and sheer laziness on our part. Apparently, since becoming real parents our puppy parenting has gone downhill. However, Saturday proved to be a great opportunity to at least begin to make amends, not to mention it was beautiful and dry (but still cold). We picked up my mom and Miss Romy Plum (Maya's chief antagonist in life) and headed to the park.

I had forgotten how awesome our local park was and it appeared that everyone else was taking the opportunity to get their fat puppies out too. The park was packed and Miss K had a blast watching the chaos from her perch. Our little trip also provided the perfect chance to take Miss K's bear suit out for one last spin. just one more thing this sprout has grown out of as of late.

Hope you all had a great Saturday

My Dearest Mayapolis Papaya Janssen (puppy),

You are the best. You don't bark, you don't tear stuff up (anymore), you don't go potty in the house (anymore), and you generally don't smell much different than any other dog. However, and I don't want to sound unappreciative but, if the atomic bomb were a fart, it would be yours. They are, honest to God, the most horrendous thing I have ever smelled in my life. I am amazed that with one of the best sniffers in the animal kingdom you don't just go catatonic and die when one is unleashed. Seriously. You sit there and look at us like your insides didn't just rot and make their way out as vapors.

We have been woken from a dead sleep because of them, we have rolled down every window in the car in the dead of winter because of them and most recently been reduced to dry heaving and praying for our baby's life because of them. This condition should have been listed when you were adopted.

Be sure we still love you though, even though we sometimes look at you in disgust.
