"I got a rock."

"Sir Buckner, we salute you!"




We are so proud of Buckner! Just this week, (at the old age of 2 years and 1 month) he decided it was time to stop messing around by squatting to pee and lifted his leg up high to unleash his bladder. I know that you without a pet may think this is a somewhat trivial post but dangit, I was proud of our furry friend.
"GOOD FOR YOU BUCK!," I said.
I was so proud. I hung my head up high when walking him. (whereas, I usually would hide behind a bush while he was squatting at the park near the other dogs)
Some say it is a sign of maturity and usually happens within the first year of a dogs life, if at all. Whatever the case, "PEE ON my little BUCK, PEE ON!"
NOTE: Compare our this picture of Buck to our profile picture and you can see how much he's grown.

"Your walk talks more than your talk talks..."



Aubrey loves to walk! She loves to walk on different textures(grass, dirt, snow), up and down steps...she loves to walk everywhere. We were walking in front of our house and she would go until I turned her around and then she would just keep going in the direction I faced her. It is fun to watch the progression.

When these pictures were taken, Aubrey was with her Dad and Grandad at the Alpine Golf Course enjoying a beautiful Saturday evening.


"Do 'Home Alone,' do it!"



I don't know how this started but I think it is pretty cute, when Aubrey is doing it anyway.
