...there is no such thing as privacy with a puppy.
She's like a newborn, except there's no bouncy seat you can strap her in while you take a two-minute shower. So she just comes in and licks your legs. Awesome.
Oh, and she doesn't wear diapers. And treats our liriope like it's an all-you-can-eat-buffet.
She is the first thing both kids ask for when they wake.
She is sweet. And learning. We all are.
Tonight, Charlie was looking at all the family photos next to our kitchen table when he pointed to the picture of Charmer and said, "She looks like Gracie. We need to take Gracie's picture and put her up there instead."
Broke my heart a little bit. I said, "Charlie, Charmer was your puppy when you were a baby. And we'll always love her. But we'll take a picture of Gracie and put it up there next to Charmer."
These are lovely photos. Sweet kids and cute puppies is a winning combo. I think you hit the jackpot with Gracie. She's a darlin'.

My first thought was that's childhood wrapped up in a bow! She's gorgeous and by the sounds of it fun.

Oh man, that shower picture is too funny. I have a tub shower and Frank crawled over the edge one day while I was showering and my back was turned. All of a sudden someone was licking the back of my legs and I turned around and there was Frank!
