a tribute to scout

scout, officially named sir scout mcnasty poopenstein, died on may, 30, 2009 at the age of 3.9 years.

he was a champion breed min pin. he was also a bad boy, a rebel with a cause, and a houdini master escape artist.

he hated laying down on floors without carpet.

he loved to eat brisket and organic eggs and his favorite hump toy was a large stuffed panda bear. he loved him some big booty.

he looked good... and he knew it.

he will live on in the stories we tell of him.

"you big stinker, we love you so much. hope that you can finally just run, run, run and find a lady friend like ms. panda. our hearts have been fractured but you will remain there always. see you in the next lifetimes together as always. thank you for all the love and joy you have taught us.

<3,
M, M, M and all of us" - elle

p.s. thanks for letting me take pictures of you, scout.
we will cherish them. -neleh

pixel & adobi

pixel and adobi are 2 years old! still babies. i'm amazed they didn't bolt out the door while i was shooting. the hubby was my spotter (from inside the house). my next petography challenge will be a shot of sadie (our new cat) and the dogs hanging out being chummy. animals do the funniest and cutest things when you don't have a camera ready.

sadie lababe

she's a new addition to the family. that makes 3 cats and 2 dogs. her formal name is sadie lababe named after a character from a poem written by one of my favorite local poets Tim Seibles. the hubby and i have been calling her mow mow (the sound i make when i call for her to come out of hiding.. heheh). we are hoping that sadie will bridge the relationship between feline and canine in our home. our other two cats don't get along well with the dogs most likely because they were older when we introduced the puppies to them. in fact, just the other day we witnessed for the first time one of our dogs, pixel, doing lovey dovey head rubbing with sadie. it was a precious moment.
