Rainy Days

Long, rainy days call for big living room forts!

Boot Camp

Finn is helping Lola with her crate training.


And Lola is helping Finn with his track and field training - specifically the hurdles.

Dr. Teeth

At 19 weeks old, Eli's has already sprouted his first tooth. He's attempting to show it off here, but it's still too tiny to capture.

Blending Right In

We're about a week and a half in and Lola has managed to get up to speed pretty quickly. She's joined us at the park, gone on neighborhood walks and even has time at the end of the day to cuddle up with Finn (or is that dress-up?).

Our dog is bigger than yours.

And probably bigger than you, too.

Welcome, LOLA! Finn wanted to name her Lollipop, so we compromised. Lola came home with us today from the Contra Costa Animal Shelter. She's a purebred Great Dane, a "Merle Blue", which aren't bred for showing. Lucky you, we're showing her off here, her debut as a Morse.

Gosh, she's purty. And pretty mellow and smart, very friendly, already kissing away tears wherever they appear and making babies smile. Strangers are already turning their heads like rubber-neckers and hurling compliments her way at every turn.

She's had a pretty long day, so she's gonna sleep it off for now. More soon!
