{ the good stuff }


"Buddy" { aka Butterball }
meet "Buddy" {aka Butterball}--our new little bundle of joy {and energy!}

A long, leisurely bike ride and ice-cold water from the hose. 
The latest issue of Country Living and 500 Days of Summer at the Tower. 
Bringing home our new {furry} friend...

and wondering how we ever got along without him.

Happy Monday!

    He's adorable! I love goldens! Is he a golden retriever or a Golden-doodle? I think that is what they are called....

    Thanks ladies! Pony Girl, he is, in fact, a Golden Doodle--a hypo allergenic, wavy-haired version of a Retriever :).

    He looks an awful lot like a Golden Doodle. Is he??? We just got a cream version a week ago!!!! Ours is 9 weeks old. We're living parallel lives.

    Let me know how the house training {and training in general} is going!!!
