A weekend with Rosie!

Sleeping Coda...



Rosie spent the weekend with us!  They all had a blast!  Brighton and Coda will be spending 10 days at Rosie's house and Patric and I go on our honeymoon in August.





Sleeping in a line. : )


Rosie is so sweet to the Bri!





Our evening sausage-time ritual.

On Sunday, we took the pups to the Alum Creek Dog Park.

Brighton walks! Hip surgery update with videos.

Brighton is recovering well from his surgery on May 31, 2012.  It's day four post-surgery, and he is already walking quite well on it.  He starts physical therapy on Friday.  The vet said that he believes there is a 75% chance that this surgery will have completely cured his underlying problem as well.  Wouldn't that be amazing!?  We hope he will just continue to impress us!

Little Coda has been very concerned about Brighton ever since the surgery.  He doesn't like eating meals by himself in the kitchen, and always goes to check on Brighton every now and then.  He curls up right next to Brighton when he's on the bed, though Brighton's new favorite spot is now on the linoleum tiles. : )

Chillin' outside!  Covering up his exposed skin from the sun. 



Coda visits his bff Rosie!

...and they have a pool!
