Trip to Cincinnati!

This past weekend Phil and I went to Cincinnati to visit Meghan and Pete! We had such a great weekend and can't wait to go back and visit again! The weekend was very relaxing and started with Pete making some delicious pancakes Saturday morning. We then watched Michigan lose to Ohio State and drank a lot of beer! Phil and Pete spent a lot of quality time playing Guitar Hero together which was nice because it gave Meg and I some time to catch up too! On Sunday we went to church in the morning and then got a tour of the city-Phil and I have decided that we really like Cincinnati and it will definitely be on the list for my fellowship applications. Meg and Pete were nice enough to let us bring Chase (we decided to leave Logan with my friend Joy and her dog Lilo) and he was soo good. Chase loves being the center of attention so he was in heaven the whole weekend. He also got to meet Meg and Pete's two cats and he loved them! He was so gentle and nice to them and very curious about what they actually were. Shadow decided he liked Chase and below are some pictures of them meeting nose to nose for the first time.

Our baby dogs!

Well, Beth and I were enjoying our wonderful life together as newly weds. One day, I wake up to my crazy wife literally jumping on the bed yelling at me: "Get up POOP!! I want a doggie!"

Seriously. It really happened like that.

After her convincing me for an hour or so, we decided to go look at dog shelters for that special dog. Our intention was not necessarily to get one that day, but we were open to the idea. But most importantly, we wanted to get a somewhat smaller dog since we have a pretty tiny condo. Yep, a smaller dog.

But who could possibly turn down this face:

That's right, you can't turn down that cute baby face! He was so darn adorable we couldn't help but adopt him! He was 35 pounds and just a bundle of energy and fur! Our rationality was "He's almost 6 months old, he can't possibly get that much bigger, right?"

Right?

Ok, so he got quite a bit bigger. He's about 60 pounds now and all grown up. He's still a bundle of energy and fur, though he is a little lazier.

So back to our story. We got Logan when he was about 5 months old. He was a wonderful dog, but he needed a brother to keep him occupied. Well... at least Beth seemed to think so. Beth spent days and days searching on Pet Finder for the perfect dog. After many more days of begging me, she convinced me to go visit Chase at Last Day Dog Rescue to meet him. After a couple meetings we took Chase home and look how cute they look together!

Welcome to our blog!!

Phil and I have finally decided to start a blog! Can't say that we have the most exciting lives ever so it will probably be pretty boring but at least we can post some intermittent updates when something fun happens! Check back for more posts soon!
