Girl Meets Puppy

Welcome Lexie

My sister and her husband picked up their new puppy dog yesterday.  They named her Lexie, she is so cute:)  Ressie was begging for puppy treats that were meant for the little one.  Our family is expanding.

Ressie Went Hiking

We took Hayden and Ressie for a hike last Saturday.  It was a beautiful day!  

Ressie Went Swimming

I've been meaning to post these photos for a while now.

This is Ressie enjoying a "catch the stick" game with Leah on one of their hikes a couple of weeks ago.

Oh what a life!  Bark, pee, poop, walk, run after other dogs, catch a ball or a stick, go to the dog park, go for a ride....

Well, that's Ressie's day in a nutshell.

A Dog Day Afternoon

Ressie celebrated her 1st birthday at the Longbeach - Dog Beach Zone. No bumper to bumper traffic at the 5S Freeway, growling hungry stomachs, nor a long detour because we got lost, could stop us from getting the birthday girl to the beach for an afternoon of fun. Dogs and more dogs as far as your eyes can see. They came in so many sizes, breeds, colors, and personalities. Everyone of them seemed to be celebrating something. Some loved the water, others stayed on the beach, and the majority of the crowd were running around and were enjoying a game of tag with each other. So many times I saw Ressie stealing someone else's tennis ball, or sniffing at people resting and enjoying their snacks. Not before long it was time to say goodbye to the cool waters, dog filled stretch of beach, and to new doggie friends. Ressie slept the whole way home.

A Year Older

My sister's puppy came home last year during Memorial Day weekend. She named her Ressie. She's everyone's puppy dog. With an "obedience class" certificate under her belt, she's on her way to getting her recording contract since she accompanies Fred to the Recording Studio almost everyday now for the last 5 months. However, i'll let you in on a little secret... I think she still needs to take the "obedience class" again! My sister said that she'll act like a puppy until she's two. We're celebrating her 1st birthday on Sunday. Happy Birthday Ressie Girl!!!!!
