Yeah, Yeah - I know!

OK, obviously I've been VERY bad at adding information to my blog. See, we got a puppy and life stopped. :-) He's so cute! But all I want to do is play with him. So - that's my excuse and I'm stickin' with it!

Lets see...what has happened since I last wrote? Other than getting a puppy...his name is Chewbacca K. Howell - Chewee for short. He is a shih-tzu and was a tiny little thing when we brought him home. He only weighed about 3 pounds. He's 9.6 lbs now, and just as cute! He has been a huge morale-booster at our house. Every person who walks in the house is greeted with a very happy, excited dog. We took him to puppy training at PetsMart and he loved playing with the other puppies. This picture was taken probably in November.

And here's one that was the begnning of December.

He loves playing in the snow.

On a sad note...we lost our Crash-man. He got sick and we had to let him go on the day before Thanksgiving. He brought lots of smiles to our house and we will always remember and miss him.

We love you Crashy.

We had a GREAT Christmas as always. Thanks to all my friends and family who helped make it special. Ken and I have been off work since about the 18th and we don't go back until the 5th. Unfortunately, we've been sick with colds the whole time!

Happy New Year to everyone. May 2009 be a great year, full of love and happiness for all.
