Cute as pie! Just happy to lay right down & let the world move around her.
The kids have found she is also a great pillow!
Jazzy our trial dog
Jazz is a French Waterdog, Barbet, 2.5 years old and 60-ish pounds (she needs to lose a little chub from her belly).
We decided now is a good time for a dog. Things have settled in with the kids, George's new job is going very well and I would like a companion during the day.
The kids know that she is here for just a few days so we can decide if she is the right dog for us.
So far we are pleased! She is opening up to us, wagging her tail more and being more interactive with the kids. That is a good sign!
Off leash at the park a few blocks from the house she interacted well with other dogs and was very friendly with people. Yesterday she would completely ignore all that called her name, except for George. She immediately reacts to him with a wag of the tail & tongue lolling.
This morning she happily greeted the kids & I. She was happy to follow me around the house while getting ready for school. We walked the kids to school and then walked around the neighborhood a bit so I could really get a gauge on how she does on leash with distractions like cats & other dogs.
Overall she did very well. She will need a different collar to help keep her beside/behind me. Other than that I don't have much to complain about!

Which way?!?!
Sometimes it was hard to choose which path we wanted to take, there are so many to choose from!

Aw, boys
We have a lot of nephews on George's side of the family. This is just a few of them hanging out in Ray & Wilson's room. Aren't the beds suspended from the ceiling with a bridge between them fantastic?
My suggestion, don't walk smack into the bridge, you will see stars.
Trevor in front, Wilson small and to the left, Tyler is on the floor, Mick, Jack & Ray are up on the bridge and Hunter is standing behind Trevor.
Ketty & Sadie
Sadie got to spend a lot of time Christmas Eve with her cousins. Ketty, 9 and Sadie, 11.
Sadie is wearing the vest that Ketty's family gave her and Ketty is wearing the hat that we gave her.
Bo, George, Karen
We were lucky enough to spend Christmas Eve with 2 of my sister-in-laws in Santa Ynez. It was a great day!
Daddy getting ready to be Christmas Nisa
George was not quite ready to get the Christmas chaos started.
Christmas morning befroe the madness begins
The kids patiently waiting for George & I to be ready to pass out presents. It was a great morning!

Evan's visit Sept 08
Evan came for a visit in late September, the day before Tyler's 10th bday, and stayed for a few days. The kids absolutely loved seeing their oldest cousin!

Montecito Fire
Another fire, anyone??
This fire started this evening about 14 miles from our house. Far enough that we aren't worried for ourselves but close enough that we are worried!
Tracy took this picture from her house in Santa Barbara about 2/3 of the distance to the fire from our house.
All I can say is that I am tired of fire.
