Christmas Eve Snow Fun

It snowed ALL day in Texas today - after it being in the 70's yesterday. That's Texas weather for ya! We went to dinner in Dallas and came back to about 6 inches of snow against our back door. Once we got Joe to go outside (he only likes the snow if you're playing in it too) he had a blast playing with Jeremie. Hopefully it'll be here tomorrow so we can have a White Christmas!

Joe's Graduation!

Following James and Nattie's advice, we took Joe to Petsmart for some puppy training. We had taught him to sit, shake, and hi-five before we started, so he knew a little bit. He officially graduated beginning classes last Wednesday and we couldn't be prouder. With some motivation he has learned to rollover quite nicely. He even won a contest on the last night! He was the fastest "come when called" out of 5 dogs. 3.6 seconds to get down the shopping aisle. Go Joe!! He starts his intermediate classes next week - can't wait to see what he'll learn in that class.

Joe's new bed. Or is it Soot's?

We got a new bed for Joe because he kept sleeping on a pillow we had for our couch.  It took him a while to get used to it and he still sometimes chews on it, but he loves it.  And obviously Soot likes it too!  I came out one morning to find Soot hanging out in Joe's bed.  It's a good thing that Joe didn't see him - it could have turned into an interesting fight.  Soot has started to fight back, which makes for a very funny show.

Joe's Growing Up


Bath time with Daddy!

Bath time finally over!  Let's dry off and have some fun!


Hanging out in the back yard!
Joe & his cool name tag.


Joe & his big boy bed.  Until Julie went and took it away and replaced it with another one.  He's still trying to figure it out.

Bovine & Joe

One of the first encounters of Bovine with Joe.  It was very fun to watch them "play".


Joe & His Tennis Ball


This was Joe's first experience with a tennis ball.  He has a smaller softer soccer ball that we think is getting to small for him.  Now he LOVES playing with it even though it can't completely fit in his mouth.

Joe's new favorite toy

I finally opened the rubber chicken I got for Joe when we first got him.  I didn't know he'd like it as much as he does.
