Rona too!

I think Rona is starting to see the advantages of having a 'little brother' - she has someone to play with when it suits her!

Growing Up

Little Maxwell is growing like a weed! He is just over 4 mos old now -- won't be long before he will need his first haircut!

What a ham!!

Maxwell poses for the camera!

Flowers!

This lovely bouquet of flowers are from my co-workers in the Graduate School. The cheerful sunny yellows really brightened up my day when they were delivered!

Post surgery update

Had rotator cuff repair surgery on tuesday. Dr Butcher (great name for a surgeon eh?) said there was a small tear that he stitched up and a big tear that he repaired with an anchor. I'm very swollen and have above moderate amount of pain. The meds are great on the pain, but make me a bit dizzy (not ditsy!). I am off work until approximately the 30th -- and then the 31st is our 15th wedding anniversary! Hope I will be up for dinner out by then!

Maxwell & Rona

Rona ignoring my attempts to get her to look at the camera!!

The innocence of a sleeping puppy

Getting Rowdy!!

Maxwell has found a couple of spots where he is out of Rona's reach -- he ducks into these spots when they have been frapping, and he gets wild and she gets rough!

Rona & Maxwell

Maxwell holds on to Rona's leash -- wonder what he is thinking!!
Rona shows Maxwell how much fun it is to play in the beanbag chair
Rona makes sure that Maxwell doesn't "steal" any of her toys. They are actually getting along pretty well -- as long as Maxwell doesn't jump in her face. They have even enjoyed a couple of fraps!!

Getting comfy

Maxwell likes the comforter on the bed at the hotel because the fabric makes noise when he hops around on it.

Scottie shopping will wear you out!

Maxwell takes a power-nap after helping mom shop for scottie goodies!

Maxwell is here at last!

Maxwell arrived in Cincinnati at about 5:30 last night - he is adorable and very playful. If I got a dollar for every time someone said how cute he is -- we'd be rich!! He slept all night in his crate without a peep - he slept better than I did!!

Scottie Cake!

This great cake was made by Judy Schmitz, a lady I know from work. She can decorate a cake with anything at all! She decorated this one especially for me to take to the Cincinnati Scottie friends convention, which "officially" starts on Wednesday - but a bunch of us start the party early!!

New Maxwell photos

Cathy just sent some more photos of our little guy! He is up to 4-1/2 pounds and will be seven weeks old on tuesday! He is just way too cute, and I can't wait to meet him -- 9 days and counting!

Rona

A few recent photos of our girl Rona -- I think she has a great scottie profile!

Introducing Maxwell!

These are the first photos of our new addition, Maxwell. Since he is only a month old, he is still living with his momma and Cathy Kirby in Virginia. He will get to come home with me in June after the Scottie convention in Cincinnati. In the bottom photo, he is the puppy on the left of the brindle. He has 6 brothers and sisters. I think he is a real cutie-pie and can't wait to hold him!
