Vacation

Raya went to puppy day care for few days/nights while Matt and I went to Red Bud with Jeremy, Sara and some friends. While we enjoyed this beautiful scenery...

Raya was playing, running, and having a blast at puppy day care. When I got her home she was exhausted. Man, I missed this lil puppers!

And Allie had the life of luxury staying with my mom for a few days. Man, does that dog love being an only child. Here she is laying out on the deck in Michigan City. Spoiled.

BLACKHAWKS WIN!!!

For most of the Blackhawks game little miss raya slept peacefully...

That was until I woke her up when the HAWKS scored two goals and won the Stanley Cup!!!

She doesn't look too happy with me. 

Backyard

This week we got a new fence put in and the dogs are loving the freedom.  Besides my sisters house and the one time at wiggley field...Raya has not been off the leash much outdoors. She loves running around, eating sticks and digging holes.

Heart

The other day my mom mentioned she noticed a heart-shaped fur patch on Raya...I didn't see it...until yesterday! Raya was doing her usual sleeping half way under the bed when I walked by and saw the beautiful heart! AWE! How perfect! Do you see it?

Here is a better picture!

Under the Bed

Raya has decided she now likes to sleep half way under the bed. 

 I have found her like this on more than one occasion. 

Little miss prima donna apparently wants complete darkness when she sleeps.

Wiggley Field

I took Raya to the dog park today. She enjoyed being off the leash and running around. 

Baka's house

Having a sleepover at baka's house tonight. Matt's working and I am going out on the north side...so leaving Raya at my moms house for a bit.  My mom is not home and we have been here for only twenty minutes and she has already eaten three tissues, gnawed on some housplants, torn apart a green nerf ball, grabbed some shoes with her mouth, licked every inch of hardwood floor in the kitchen, tipped over a laundry basket, and managed to find random things to chew on (phone cord, pillow, rug, golf tee). My mom is sure to have a field day with her when she gets home.

Seatbelt

We bought a dog belt so Raya could be secure in the car when we drive. For the last few months we have been putting her in the kennel for the car rides.  How annoying...lug the darn thing in and out of the house -in and out of the car, etc. Now that she is getting bigger by the day/minute/second we thought it best to get a seatbelt. I think she likes it.

Peek-a-boo

Peek-a-boo...I see you. 

5 months old

Cutie pie is five months old today!!

New bed

Less than 5 months old and this pup has gone through 3 beds already. Not because of her size but because she loves to chew through them. The first one she ripped the stuffing out, the next she pawed at it until she cut a hole through it and the last one she chewed and chewed a hole in the corner.  She now has a new fun bed (#4) to destroy. Let's see how long this one lasts...

Duck Toy

Raya playing with her duck toy.  Matt is determined to make her a hunting dog. 

Ummm...I don't know about this.

Couch Racing #2

Losing Teeth

Puppy Dog Raya is losing her teeth! The other day one fell out on the kitchen floor and Matt thought it was a piece of popcorn.  And then again Matt found one in her kennel the next day...too bad she doesn't have a pillow for us to put them under for the tooth fairy to come and bring her treats.

Pretty puppy!

Visitors

Raya patiently waiting for her puppy friend to arrive...and here we have Ginger locks and the three kennels. Lol.

Emerson, Nolan and puppy dog Nula came over for a visit this morning. We had a house full of rough housing, doughnuts, poop, sponge bob, barking, crying and love. Absolute madness. Absolute chaos.
