Merry Christmas!

Somehow, Sassy knew exactly which stocking was hers! Must have been the rawhides and treats inside!!! She went into a full frenzy!

Whats that smell?

A new target

Sassy found a new target for her affection!

Sassy post run

She begs and begs to go for a walk/run, and then this is what she looks like afterward......

Daddy's girl

Snuggle time in a new sweater

Some friends gave Sassy a hoodie sweater, and she looks so cute!

Can't handle the cuteness

Doe eyes at its most powerful.

Is it time to wake up and play yet?????

Someone was an early riser this morning.......

Nap time!

Laugh Out Loud

I love her so much.....I laughed for a long time after I caught this gem.....

The signal

When Sassy comes and stands over you on the couch, this is her signal for you to give her a thigh massage. They are skinny little muscular things that love being rubbed a little. She usually leans forward so her hind legs stretch out a little making it easier, but this is pretty much as clear as she gets. Sillier every day.

Monopoly!

During the power outage, we played several games of Monopoly. Sassy was obsessed with the game pieces, rolling the dice, etc. She was totally focused and adorable to watch!

Houdini

Can you spot her?

Deer in flight

Here is our prancing deer enjoying her first snow!

Dickens Dog

Just trying to stay warm without power!

Peek-a-boo!!!!!!

Sassy has a favorite game that she invented. It's called "I run upstairs and wait at the top of the stairs for someone to come and check on me". Usually she is just standing at the top of the stairs, but this day she decided to peek down the stairs. What she failed to realize is that you can't hide those bat ears when you are trying to be sneaky!

These next pictures happened about 10 minutes later. She went upstairs again for her peek-a-boo game, and this time, no one came to peek at her. She got frustrated, and came halfway down the stairs to see what the holdup was... We were of course waiting for her downstairs! These "stair peeking" pictures make me laugh every time I see them!!!

She was clearly upset that we weren't playing her game.......

So sleepy....

She sleeps anywhere and everywhere!

In my face this morning!

She won't get out of bed!

Under blankets on the couch!

Hee hee...on Eric's pillow!

On the floor

In the car....after a doggy playdate....

Its a fact. She'll sleep anywhere at any time.

I truly have the cutest dog in the world! (and the cutest husband...)

I am one lucky woman!

Where's Waldo? (Sassy)

She gets cuter everyday....can't handle this one!

Like a virgin...groomed for the very first time!

Somebody got groomed and came home with a bandana!!!!

Seagull is not just dead, but destroyed!

Go through these photos in reverse order, they are just too funny! Best toy she has ever had!

Seagull is gone! Farewell!

Grape please?

Wait a minute.....you finally give me a grape and then you put it on my paw and make me wait for it? Are you kidding me? I just want to eat it! Now? Can I eat it now? NOW??????

OK, I'd like more. I see you have a grape in your hand. I'd like it to be in my mouth. I'm sitting down and on my best behavior. Thank you!
If you hadn't noticed, her newest favorite food is grapes!

Sassy made it a whole week without an accident!

As a reward for going an entire week without an accident, Sassy was given her ultimate favorite treat....doggy ice cream called "frosty paws". She goes nuts for it! As you will see in the video, she was extremely excited! Congratulations to Sassy! We are so proud of you!

Hog-tied sleeper

This can't be comfortable!

Sassy kills seagull

Meet the gull

Sassy's new sea gull squeaky toy was a hit! Thanks to Mom and Dad who have forever changed our lives.... the beak has already been maimed....

Crazy for snuggling in bed!

Sassy on the lookout

Squirrel!!!!!
