rainy friday

This is how you should spend a rainy Friday, snuggled up in bed...

Take note, this is our bed and not hers :)

italian greyhound cuteness

I don't know what my sudden fascination with this bread is, but I just can't get enough of their flighty cuteness. I was watching Dogs 101 on tv the other night and they had an insert about Italian greyhounds. I wanted to squeal with suppressed glee. They are so skinny and neurotic and afraid of their own shadow, but they are adorable.

This pup is too cute. He definitely still needs to grow into his ears

Why dogs don't live as long...

I saw this pinned on Pinterest the other day and I thought it was so adorable that I couldn't help crying. I'm a sucker for animals so anything cute/sad/wonderful having to do with them usually illicitness some tears from me. But can you blame me after reading the following. I dare you not to :)

Our little boy seemed to accept our dogs transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after his death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are so much shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, “I know why.” Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I’d never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, “People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life – like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The six-year-old continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long."

So cute. Betsie and Einstein both pull that top move every morning to see if we're away. Love dogs!

1 year today

Today our dogs have been with us a year. Einstein is pretty much the same silly mutt, but Betsie has really come out of her shell since we got them from the Stellenbosch Animal Welfare Centre. If you're thinking of getting a dog I really recommend going to look at your nearest animal shelter. There are so many wonderful dogs who need a good home.

Betsie & Einstein, you make us crazy sometimes, but we couldn't live without you xxx
