Sweet Sisters

It is so hard to believe that Zoe's 10th birthday is right around the corner and then Lexi will turn 10 years old in December. These two have been the best of friends since I adopted them all those years ago. I love the bond they share as sisters! It's so much fun watching them play together.

I never know what I am going to get when I bust out the camera to take photos of them. Sometimes Zoe does better sitting for photos and sometimes Lexi is the perfect poser. Sometimes both of them are little hellions and won't stay put and very, very rarely both of them will sit and stay in place like perfect little angels.

Today was one of those days where Zoe kept popping up at every turn. I'd get them both in place, pick up my camera and I wouldn't get more than a shot or two fired off before Zoe would come running towards me. So I had an awful lot of photos that looked just like this one...

I managed to get her to lay down for a photo...

Oh but look, she's back up again...

It's a good thing she's so adorable!...

And so is her sister, Lexi!...

The dogs really do love chilling in their yard...

Cuteness Overload...

I finally got her to sit still for a few minutes...

But not for long!...

These two hooligans bring me so much joy and happiness. I am so lucky to have them in my life!

Who could resist that face?...

Or that one!?...

I LOVE this one of Lexi...

And this one of Zoe...

Whatcha lookin' at ZoZo?...

I took about a zillion photos of Zoe and Lexi running toward the camera, but by the time I was shooting these it was a little too dark. I had to crank my ISO up to 8000 and even then I still had to lighten them up in photoshop quite a bit. As a result, all of these photos are grainy and some of them are a bit out of focus. However, I just couldn't resist how cute and silly the pups looked in them so I decided to post some of them anyway...

Poor Zoe just can't keep up with Lexi no matter what she does! And she never has been able to. Zoe has to outsmart her to catch her since she can't out run her!

If you made it this far, thanks for stopping by the blog!

Little Cuties

I took these when I took photos of Daisy and Gatsby in honor of their adoption anniversary.

Here are some black and white photos of my little puppy cutie patooties:

Sweet Zoe...

And Little Lexi Lou...

Look at that adorable little face...

Somebody's sleepy...

The "where are my treats" for being good and posing stare down...

Another adorable little face...

I just love my little goobers! Their cute little faces bring a smile to mine. I hope you enjoyed seeing them, too. Thanks for stopping by!

Where Does the Time Go?

We adopted Daisy and Gatsby the day after our anniversary, so it's easy to note when another year has gone by since we brought them home. This year marks four years since they joined our little family. I know I sound like a broken record on every single one of these pet posts, but I seriously have no clue how it's been so long. It feels like half that time!

In honor of the anniversary of their adoption, I decided to take some new portraits of them. They both did much better with the photos than they did last time, and I was able to get more variety of images. I think some of them are super cute, but I may be biased!

As a random side note, we recently purchased new furniture for our bedroom, and we have no clue what we are going to do with our old furniture. So for now, it is just sitting in our front room until we figure it out. For some crazy reason the old headboard has turned into one of their favorite places to lay, especially Daisy. Many of these photos were taken with the cats sitting or laying on it.

OK, enough babble. On to the photos!

We have the weirdest animals. Seriously, what cat lays like this?...
