August, 2008

Bayea and her cousin BellaNate's dad built a cabin a few years ago. It is one of our favorite places to vacation. This August, we took Bayea with us for the first time. She loved the open space and the ability to run and play with another dog. Bella belongs to Nate's sister. She is about a year older than Bayea but they enjoyed running around together and eating each other's food. The other bowl is always better than their own. Usually, we could find the dogs running around. This was a rare moment when they would hold still.

On a Sunday afternoon, Bayea and I sat down for a little snooze. We love being together and snuggling. Even now, we snuggle together before we both go to sleep. Nate caught Bella in a rare moment of calm. She stopped running long enough to pose for the picture.

Yard work!!!

We have lived in our house for just over 2 years. Our front yard has been done for a while, but the back yard needed to be finished, especially with Bayea. Nate's mom and dad came down for a week to help us get the yard in. Here they are standing on the side of the house while they water the dirt. Now we have grass for Bayea to play on.

Bayea is tired after a hard day's work

Bayea loves her bed, especially during the day when she needs her "cat" nap. She just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Hopefully she's done growing. We love her just the size that she is.
