meet pandora

Today we adopted a new puppy and named her Pandora. We have always talked about having 2 dogs to live on and protect the farm. Pandora is half Great Pyrenees and half Anatolian Shepherd, both are very large breeds, some as big as Saint Bernard's. Zeus now has a playmate and I have puppy duty...not a small task. Tonight will be her first night away from her 8 brothers and sisters, I will be feeling her sorrow and probably loosing a little sleep. yay.

I have been skyping all day with my sister. Showing her, Cedar and Boho boy a very fat & fuzzy puppy. She looks like a stuffed animal, unreal, but then Cedar thinks stuffed animals are all real anyway ; )

moments with cedar

sidewalk yummies

Visiting the boho family in San Diego. I arrived on Saturday and will be here until Thursday. My sister is glowing with motherhood, Cedar is so much bigger and boho boy looks adorable in his scruffy beard and wavy long hair. Ours days have been filled with toddler play (like sidewalk chalk) and non stop conversations. Regardless of where we take Cedar, or what he wears...people refer to him as "she." Yes, he is just that beautiful!

New stuff about Cedar:

~Anything "Stinky" is hilarious
~Tractors are really really really cool (thank you uncle jj)
~Chasing and hiding games rule
~Running is faster and falling is harder
~Everyone in the room must have a turn too
~Affection flows freely (the best hugs and kisses ever!)
~Berenstain Bears rock
~Stuffed animals are alive (just what my sister thought too)
~"I can do it myself" ; )
~Wakes up from his naps a little taller
~"Yucky" is pretty funny too

He is all boy...pretty...but all boy. I always cherish these visits and my hubby? He counts the hours until I am home again ; ) love you babe

lightning bug

Very strange weather here in Northern California. High humidity, random thunder/rain and a lot of late night lightning. Specifically 2:00 am. I can be such a shutter bug : )
