On a Hike and more info



Just some more info on the monsters! Avey is the Silver or lighter of the two. We weighed them 10 days ago and she was 14 lbs. She thinks she is the boss and she is wicked stubborn like her mom. :) Avey is short for Avalanche (silly I know but it fits, trust me). Jaro is short for Kilimanjaro very fitting also since he is very tall and strong. He is what they call a Blue- and isn't preferred among breeders but we think he is perfect and beautiful. He was 13.8 lbs a little lighter than his chubby sis. I think she likes to lounge around like me and he would rather be bouncing around like Chris. They love the hikes we have been taking them on- if they weren't so damn fast I would have some pics of them playing in the creek! Maybe next post. Avey is a little more nervous and outspoken; outyippen is probably more accurate. Jaro is quiet and independent. We had a break through this week when Jaro let himself down the stairs and onto the lawn to potty all by himself. They grow up so fast! :) They are both wonderful snugglers so I am happy! Well hope you and yours are all happy and well. Check again soon for another update! Erin

Welcome Jaro and Avey






For all of you that have requested pictures of the newest members to our family, may I present Jaro and Avey!
They are almost 11 weeks old as of this post and they are keeping us very, very, very busy.
Chris has wanted these guys for years and in a moment of weakness and impulse well, we got them. Anyone who knows me can see how I could not resist the temptation of having these two join our already crazy lives. Why not, whats two high energy puppies that will soon enough be high energy 70lb dogs!
Chris plans on taking them to Baja and to the mountains to kite and I plan to cuddle up with them every night and listen to them snore while they dream their little puppy dreams.
We love them and can't wait for any of you that haven't had a chance to meet them to do so! I hope all is well with all of you :) Erin
