School's Out for the Summer

I am done with school for now (sigh of relief), and now I get to spend some quality time with my bro! Isn't this picture classic!.. He is never far from his belt. We went up to the beach for a day with the fam and got to use my new camera, which I love! I am so excited to reach back to my "inner photographer" and relearn how to take sweet pictures. Jon is gonna be my ginny pig in this journey, because lets just face it he is too cute to not take pictures of.

The newest member

Meet the newest member of our hairy family! This is Maebe! This picture is called "pearly whites".
This picture is titled "I am shinny"
Her favorite pose "Chillaxin on the 'parents' bed"
You guessed it "MMMMM Peanut butter"
And last but not least "ppluplupplulllluu"

This is our new bundle of "joy". She is a Rotty Lab mix through and through. She follows me around everywhere and is so protective of everyone in the family. She loves to snuggle and take Jonathan on walks (hehe).
The first day we got this lil lady it was an adventure. She wanted to tear little Steve apart. And Steve is such aloof that he thought she wanted to play with him (some boys just don't get it). After some very strict and consistent correcting she and Steve are the best of buds! They even snuggle together. It is so cute!!
I have been taking her to the local dog park and the first few times was difficult. She quickly caught on that this place was a place for fun. She still gets into tiffs with other dogs but is rapidly getting better ( I am amazed at how fast she learns).
Since we have had her which has been about 3 weeks or so... we have taught her how to give high five, beg, say boo (which is speak on command) and lay down. She already knew how to sit and go potty outside which was very very nice. She always comes on command (which is more than I can say for Steve). She listens when I say no and leave it almost immediately (which is more than I can say for most dogs). I almost feel like I could take the dog whispers job... ok not really but I think I did a pretty good job rehabilitating this dog, but she is a very loyal and good dog so that helps a lot too.
All and all Maebe has mixed in really well with us all.
Jon likes to snuggle with her, Daniel likes to feed her treats, Steve likes to wrestle with her and I like to run with her.
