Toby

Our sweet cat Toby only comes inside during cold or rainy times. So he has been in quite a bit the past few months. His favorite nights are when we have fires, he loves to curl up next to the fireplace. Dave purchased a kitty cube for him a few months ago so he could have a safe-haven from "Maggie the terror" but Toby didn't' really take to his cube until this past week. We had totally thought it was a waste of money until we caught him hanging out in it recently. He has also taken over Maggie's beds and water bowl. We never thought she would share her things but we think she is too scared to protest. Toby is much smaller than Maggie but she is still intimidated by him. They have actually become somewhat of friends. Well this morning Dave went to put Maggie in her kennel before he went to work and he found Toby enjoying a nap inside the kennel. He actually didn't want to get out, Dave had to put Maggie in the kennel before Toby would move. See the pics below, I love it when he curls up with his head touching his toes!

Happy Birthday, Maggie

Our little Maggie is now 1yr. old. We don't know her exact birthday but we did know it was in January sometime so we picked Jan. 15. I know her first few months of life were rough. She and her entire litter were dropped off at the pound luckily Puppy Hill Farms came to the rescue. Sometime from birth to when we adopted her in April she got pneumonia. It was a slow recovery but we made it through after 2 months of meds and breathing treatments. Her life has now been spared twice within her first year, but she couldn't be happier. She is completely spoiled and a daddy's girl. She loves me but Dave is definitely her favorite, her "Alpha" dog. When we were in the mountains we found this great dog shop and the owner was a former resident of McIntosh, close to us in Gainesville. We found the cutest birthday treat for Maggie and she loved it!!

Go Gators!!

Happy New Year!

New Year's resolution, lose weight! Actually I think my mother-in-law put it best "20 lbs off the tush." That goes for Dave as well, actually he wants to lose more weight. Since our wedding 10 months ago we have both put on a few pounds. So now that we are making the public announcement, we really have to stick to the plan!! Dave wants us to take before pics with all the flab hanging out, don't worry I won't post those pics!! So here's to day 1! Hope you have a Happy 2009!!
