Weston’s Chair, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Weston loves to hang out in this chair. I took this one yesterday. You can see he’s got quite the comfy spot. He loves it. It’s cozy, plus he can see outside. Pretty awesome.

Hanging Out, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Riley loves to hang out the window when we drive anywhere. Weston does as well, but she is a full body girl. We have to hold onto her collar to make sure she stays safe. It was raining pretty good on Sunday, the day we drove home from the beach, and still she wanted to get her head out there. It’s hard to make out, but those are Weston’s feet standing in front of her. I was inside, somewhere, getting something. The little family was waiting for me to come back out to them.

I know this isn’t exactly probably very politically correct, but I had to post a shot of how Weston spends much of his time while on walks. He’s a boy dog… boy dogs like to mark. There’s not a log, or tree, or rock he passes without having to leave his mark… so to speak. Even when he has no mark to leave he tries to leave it. It’s kind of funny. He thinks he’s a stud… and, well… he is.
Pups as Art, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
We went to the park, Cathedral Park, on Sunday. The pups enjoyed their walk, even though it was a little too hot for their longish hair. This is them, posing… well, sort of posing. That would be Weston on the left and Riley on the right.

This is a photo I took of Weston when he was a little guy. He must have been about six months old. He’s now almost two, next month. I was thinking of Valentine’s Day and was thinking about what the look of love is… and this is it, in this little boys eyes. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
Weston Says… Are We Done Yet?, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
And we say back to him… Oh yes… yes we are little man! More walks for you!
My Head Isn’t As Huge As It Looks, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Honestly… my head is very proportionate to my body. This picture just makes it look big.
Weston Attempting to Blog, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Weston loves to get up on the desk when I’m trying to blog. He isn’t shy about demanding his attention.

Here she is. The little girl with her new haircut. Isn’t she cute?

Ah, Christmas by the fire… hanging out, enjoying the good cheer.
Riley… Enjoying The Snow?, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
This was taken December 19, a few days before Christmas. I think Riley was getting tired of the snow already by then. It was taller than she is.
Weston, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Weston’s adjusting to having a little sister pretty well now. He’s only occasionally annoyed by her, which is great. Most of the time, to our utter surprise, he’s very sweet and gentle with her. It’s pretty cute.
Riley, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Riley is really growing. She now weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of five plus pounds and moving to 6 pretty quickly. She’s very glad she doesn’t have to go see the doctor again for a few months. All those shots were really annoying her.
Hanging Out Around the House, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
The pups have had it rough the last couple of weeks… getting left alone at the house quite a bit as we head out to get stuff for the rental or go over to work on the rental. That activity has pretty much consumed our lives for the last month or so. Tearing things out and down so we can start building it back up again. I think, maybe, we’re at the building it back up again stage. Thank God we have Kev to help in the whole process. It would both be a real pain in the butt and also cost us a lot more money to have someone else do the jobs he’s been doing over there for us. So, thanks Kev! You rock.

They were wanting to come in to see how the painting was going. We let them in.
What’s She Doing?, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Here they are… playing and chewing on bully stix. Or, to be more precise, Weston was chewing on a bully stick yesterday and Riley was dragging around a big bone we’d given to Weston but she’d commandeered. Very cute. They are playing so well together now. We are so proud of Weston. He’s been so gentle and sweet with her, after that first week of course when we thought he might “accidentally” kill her. Since then though… really great. I think he’s even starting to like her, and I know she’s loving him. She always wants to be with him and near him. Like I said… cute.
Together, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Weston and Riley are starting to become friends. It’s sweet. He’s playing really well with her, very gentle. Once in awhile she gets too rowdy for him and he lets her know, but otherwise he’s been very good with her. It’s really great to see them playing and having fun.

She’s already a playful little girl. So tiny…
Riley, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
She’s adorable.
Introducing…. the Little Miss, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Well, we’ve added a new little member to our family. Her name is Riley. She’s 2.3 pounds and a total bundle of joy. Weston isn’t totally sure about her yet, nor is she sure about him, but they are getting acquainted and will soon, I’m sure, become fast friends. Until then we’re doing a lot of supervised visitation. She’s so cute…
Ah, Victory!, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
As you can see, my brother, K, has the chuck it in his hand and Weston has just returned from running after the ball that was thrown with the chuck it. He’s a happy guy…. uh, Weston that is, though K is probably happy too. It’s pretty fun playing with our little man, he’s got tons of personality.
