Catchin' some rays

We've been busy with the new baby..but can still find time to catch some rays...

it's been a awhile

We have been so busy with the new baby! But we're still finding time to steal a sunbeam and rest our chin on something soft.

Some things never change...

Just what end fits...

Dogs version of spooning

Snuggle Bunnies

Indy is a such a snuggler..mom and dad love to catch us being cute.

Dinner time

Mom and Dad often sit and have dinner on the couch in front of the tv. Im sure this will change once baby shows up, but for now we definitely love it. As long as we are good and are laying on our beds, a nice morsel of food or two might come our way. They found this funny the other night and started taking photos...

Is that a tooth or some yummy steak?!

YUM!

Mountain Biking is tough

So its that time of year again! Mountain Bike race season. Dad did a 13 hr race this past weekend and mom was the pit crew, so we got to go along. It was a goregous day and we just had a ton of fun...so much it wiped us out!

Indy ate and drank too much and had to sleep it off...what a partier!


I enjoyed the afternoon in the back of the Suby where there was sun, shade and many cushy things to lie on.

Rhodesian Ridgeback Yin and Yang

Our Contortionist

For some reason, Ryder thinks this is a comfortable position. :)

Comfy?

Ryder was pooped after a long day... she decided to rest her head on dad's foot while he was hanging out on the couch and fell fast asleep.

I took a more traditional position and just look cute.

SNOW DAY!

So we FINALLY got a few inches of snow..which of course meant that dad was going to go snow riding. Mom had to stay home since she's preggers (and envious of the snow ride she was missing)...so dad grabbed us and we met Uncle Tony and Rocco and their friend Ben for an awesome 1 1/2hr ride. Its the most snow Indy's ever seen..and he was loving it!

The ride begins!

And the run is on!!!

Then is starts really coming down.. its a white-out!

Snow is FUN!

Lazy sun day

After our morning run (with Rocco today - yay!) we were only 2% worn out, so while dad worked around the house, we ran and ran and chased each other around the yard ALL DAY. Ryder rolled around in lots of dirt to show mom that she didn't like her bath yesterday. Then the sun came out and we were both suddenly overcome with exhaustion. The mulch bed made the perfect place for a midday nap in the warm sunshine.

snug as two bugs in a rug

So Ryder got the bed first. Indy sat directly in front of her, as is his trademark style now, and whined and whined because he wanted some of that bed too. So eventually dad came over and helped Ryder scoot to the side. Indy wasted no time at all snuggling up under there and staking out his half of the one-dog sized bed. They napped this way for a few hours!

Mmmmmm, a warm snuggly pile of ridgeback under the blanket.....so cute!

Indy's goatee

Indy decided he was ready to be a grown up and decided to grow a goatee. Doesn't he just look great :)

Laundry helper

Mom was doing a ton of laundry today getting ready for some guests. She put a load down on the floor so she could sit and start folding it. She left the room for a minute and when she got back, Ryder had decided to start helping her out.

Big boy

So when Indy had to go to the vet for his foot he weighed in at 91lbs! What a big boy...hes not even a year old yet. :)

He's looking good, sportin' his boot :)

Tough patient

So a few days after the big ice storm, dad took us out hiking. There was still some ice in the woods and Indy managed to cut his foot pretty bad and he had to go to the vet for some liquid stitches and to get his foot wrapped. Mom was smart and stuck one of my winter running shoes on him so he wouldn't eat off the wrapping. 

Over the last 1 week 1/2 dad has had to clean and re-wrap Indy's foot a couple of times to make sure it continues to heal. The easiest way for dad to do it, is to put Indy on his back in his lap..well as you can see, by the time dad is done cleaning and re-wrapping his foot, Indy is very distraught. So much so that he has completely fallen asleep!

What a big baby!

Zzzzzz....

Mom and Dad keep using new words around us... like pregnant, baby, sonogram. Not sure exactly what they are talking about, but the other day dad brought home a present for mom. Whoo hoo... if new things like this keep coming in, I'm all about it. I love this new pillow!

Spoiled

So we don't think we're spoiled, but we might be..just a little. The trails haven't been in the best of shape lately for riding, so dad has started taking us out running every morning. It has become our favorite thing to do! Once we see him getting ready, we can hardly sit still! Look at Ryder having a blast chasing me!

I think I look pretty good myself..I might not be as agile as Ryder, but I'm sure fast on the straightaways.

Then, of course, afterwards...its cuddle naptime.
