Ahh the training phase...

So I was taking pictures of Cinderbelle and Tank playing, when Tank runs off and comes back with one of my shoes in his mouth. He then proceeded to the 'down' position with it as if he were going to start gnawing on it like one of his toys, right in front of me nonetheless. It just made me laugh because neither he nor Cinder are "shoe" dogs really, or so I thought.

So my mom comes tomorrow which proves yet again (as if I needed more proof) that time flies. But for once I don't mind it because I'm so excited for her to be here. Although I'll be working a lot while she's here, it'll just be nice to have her and Ruby here in the same state with me for a week. ;-)

I hope everyone is staying healthy as the holidays are slowly but surely creeping up on us. I mention this because I am aware that it is on the minds of many people as gym memberships have been increasing in the last month. I personally have started increasing my running by about 20% each week in order to increase my metabolism to make up for all the yummy holiday food that lies ahead. Just some food for thought as I take off for my morning jog. Be positive and take on the day!

Tank & Mommy Blogging

One of the nice things about my job is that, while I work 40-45 hours/week, I don't have to be in until 11am most days. This gives me the mornings to not only get my workouts in, but to spend time with my furry kids. This morning Tank and I are spening time together blogging. ;-) This is a picture of he and I in my sunroom/office. Can you believe how big he is already at 19 weeks?!

He is an incrediable puppy with an old soul. He continues to think Cinder Belle is the best big sis there ever was. ;-)

On another happy note, my mom and Ruby (her bullmastiff) are coming to visit me this month! I am so thrilled to show them my new house and new town. They will be staying for a week, so I've been getting the guest room all set up and thinking about all the fun things we can do. Although, it does seem to be cooling off pretty quickly here in Idaho, so I'm hoping to still have some of this great weather for their arrival.

Cinderbelle, Tank and I have been missing them so we can't wait for them to get here!
