Take me out to the ball game

This weekend, we went with some friends of ours to the Atlanta Braves baseball team's OpenHouse at Turner Field. It was pretty nice, we got to tour the dugout and even go back to the locker room (they have a putting green back there with life sized pictures of the Augusta Nationals gold course, which is funny since that is where we're from.) We even got to run the bases. The only problem was how that it was freezing

We made it onto the website of the AJC (the big newspaper in Atlanta) .... well, Tami made it, only my nose and my beer ended up in the picture :) You can find the picture here... although I think you have to register:

Daisy Adair is growing at a fast rate now. As you can see, she's now as tall as Willow.



We bought Willow a dog house since she loved Jake's crate. She seems to like it since she takes a nap in it at least once a day:


Here is another picture of the newly shorn Chewy.... .She doesn't look very happy in this one.


and finally, a picture of all three of them napping. I'm still looking for a really good picture of the three of them together, but so far, it's not happening.

Not much to report this week. Daisy is growing bigger and bigger and Chewy and Willow are teaching her all of their bad habits. Many people called us on the fact that our picture of all three of the dogs together from the last post had a set of arms in the picture holding some of the dogs in place. BUSTED. We still can't get all three of them together in one spot long enought to take a picture. When we do, we'll post it here.

Chewy got shorn on Friday, which means that Daisy Adair now looks bigger than her.



and here are a couple of cute pictures of Daisy Adair and Willow.

More info on the jerseys

If anyone is interested, I found a nice article which talks about the charity auction for the Gladiators Jerseys here http://www.accessnorthga.com/news/hall/newfullstory.asp?ID=101996

Hockey Jerseys

Sunday night was the " Operation Military Thank You Post-Game Jersey Auction" night for the Gwinnett Gladiators where they auction off the Jerseys that they played the game in. This picture was supposed to be Tami holding up the Jersey that we bought:



As you can see, we didn't end up with a Jersey as we quickly determined that people were willing to spend a lot more money for a Jersey than we were. The cheapest one went for $650 for a player that had been traded earlier in the season. That was the only one that went for less than $1000. The rest averaged between $1800 - $2200. The goalie, Sean Fields, went for $6000. It was for charity and they raised over $46,000 which is good... but we really wanted one of those Jerseys......

Daisy is doing well. She's getting bigger and bigger (especially her nose.) All of them are getting along really well. Chewy is sooooo happy


Willow gets plenty of exercise and has to rest a lot....




But all and all, we are all one big happy family.

Well, not too much to report today. We had a very hockey weekend, going to two Gwinnett Gladiators games and watching them kick the crap out of the Ice Pilots (yes, minor league hockey has some of the worst team names....) We found out that some friend of ours, Brad and Paola, are going to be moving to Philly this week. We're sad that they are leaving, but we're already planning a trip up there to visit them. Brad put up a blog of his own, so if you knew him from high school and want to keep up with him, you can find it here: bradwalton.blogspot.com.

Without any thing else exciting going on, I figured I would post some more cute pictures of Daisy Adair so everyone can see how she's growing.

Puppy Power

Well, we made it through the week with having five dogs. As you can see, by the end, we were getting pretty comfy together:


But, with Jake and LD (we could only call him little dog for so long) gone, it was time to relax, something which Daisy Adairis good at:



That's not to say that she's not full on energy at times and can play. She'll happily go over and steal Stumpy from Willow as you can see below:



Also with Jake and LD gone, Willow and Chewy have really started to warm up to Daisy Adair. Here is a pic of Willow and Daisy playing tug-o-war, which is both of their favorite game.




Daisy had her first vet visit yesterday and everything checked out fine. She goes back for more shots in three weeks. Hopefully by then she'll be able to sleep through the entire night :)
