Here is the link if you want to check it out. Very cute story, a little tear jerk thinking about our Mr. Blue [Cosmo's nickname]. You have to copy and paste it into your address bar.

Kongo Kongo

Maeve is figuring out the Kong. The greatest dog toy ever. She loves peanut butter and jumps around like a maniac when you go to the stove where the peanut butter is. She's even beginning to throw it to get the treats out.
There are three different Kong sizes. The smallest is the puppy kong, which is good for teething and we chose a pink one. The next is the "big dog" size, when she's a little bigger. The football is cool, and a little trickier and we are trying to introduce it to her so that she can be successful. It's fun to watch her succeed. :)

Ohhh Brother!!

Today, Maeve's brother Reggie came for a playdate. They are pretty neck and neck in weight, both at 19 and 1/2 pounds!! They are pretty big in comparison to their litter when we asked others last night. I must say [even though it's a little off topic] that Beckham has some amazing attention, and it's so sweet. They played for about an hour and 45 minutes. It was some intense playing :) They enjoyed playing in the water dish and digging, or both shoving their darling faces into the dish together. Playing included a lot of wrassling. They enjoyed a couple quick rounds of tug-of-war, which is the green rope in the picture. Here are some wild action photos. They just had to roll in the small patch of dirt. That concluded with a puppy bath. She was quite skinny when all wet!!!!

Beauty Sleep In The Wrong Place

Little Miss was just exhuasted during class. It was hard to get her up and motivated. She's so sweet. We love her.

Princess Bling Bling

Cosmo's [Our first service dog that we trained] 3rd birthday is on July 25th, so we went to Target Boutique to get him a birthday present. We found a cute AKC Sporting Squirrell. Very cute. But we couldn't resist the temptation to buy the Little Miss a little something...or two. The best purchase for her so far, [aside from the hott pink collar and leash] was, a big, rubber, PINK ring. Adorable.

Fluttering Eyelashes.So Girly.So Glam.

Maeve had another uneventful day. A little training, and she got into retrieving today :) She loves the attention. I think that she's starting to learn her name. Her best skill that mom is SO proud of is when she comes in the back door, she sits. It comes in quite handy in the winter or when it rains. It gives us time to wipe off her paws!

And for the title. I just think that her eyelashes are so adorable. They are so girly and glam. They are just little and cute. I can't really get over it!

Neighborhood Exploration

The Little Miss has been on her first walk since my last written blog. I just got back from a half hour walk around the n'hood with her...and guess how far that took me? Four blocks. Of course, Maeve has to sniff everything. We even found a very cool orange ball!!
She walks well on the leash with a lot of encouragement :) She met two older women, who both offered that "Anytime you go out of town and need a puppy sitter, just knock on our door. And I'm serious about that offer."
...I'd personally rather not leave her with a complete stranger, but it was a sweet offer :)
