Another New Girl On The Block
My parents have been planning for some time to get a new puppy, and the weekend before Dad's Day, they went to go pick up Mahogany (Maggy, for short) at just 8 weeks old.
A chocolate brown lab with the sweetest green eyes, she's simply the cutest thing, even though she is less than impressed with me for continuing to stick my camera in her face. Which may be why all of the pictures I get of her that are in focus look like this one.
She's very silly, and very much a water dog. She loves the pool - the big human one and her kiddie pool. She loves to bathe in her water dish (lick, lick then pounce with both front paws in the water). She enjoys picking up a bucket of water bigger than she is, running as fast as she can without spilling it, stopping abruptly, dumping it, splashing in the mud-water 
she's made and then putting the bucket on her head and running around some more bumping into things because the bucket is covering her entire head. Luckily this is outdoor behaviour. Watching her do this, I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. Just the other day Dad called to tell me that she'd jumped in the hottub.
I was at home for the long weekend for my niece's first birthday party. While being at home without my brother is painful, hanging out with munchkins and puppies for a couple of weekends in a row has been somewhat of a panacea for me and is helping to mend my broken heart. I thought I share more pics of little Rhyen's birthday weekend, including upside down swim goggles and annihilated ladybugs.
