Our pups

Our puppies sure are a handful but we love them! Rowdy is such a snuggler. If he could sleep all day everyday, he would. He is usually very calm unless his sister is attacking him or biting his throat. Snarky is an aggressive player. We are making tremendous strides with potty training but we think their bladders are still developing. Snarky pees probably 20 times a day! We try not to get mad at them when they mess inside but that is difficult too! Adorable SnarkyGunner and Rowdy are best buddies! Gunner is our friend's dog. They rescued him from the shelter days before we got Rowdy and Snarky. He is such a fun dog.

They have a favorite sleeping place: Under the microwave and next to the garbage can. Very cute.

Busy Month!

So it has been an extremely busy month for us. At the end of July, we packed up our apartment in Baltimore and I went to North Carolina for a week vacation with my family while Josh finished his last week of rotations and moved our belongings to Ohio with our friend Greg (thanks again Greg!). Two days after arriving in Ohio, we visited our good friend Adriano in Chicago before heading to New York for Josh's Dad's 50th birthday bash. New York was a riot, especially since 6 of Dmitri's siblings came in for the party from all over the United States. Josh and I had our hands full as the organizers of the event but it was great seeing so many friends and family for the weekend. On our drive back from NY to Ohio, we were informed that we were accepted into the rotation program in Saginaw, Mi for the next two years!! For those who don't know, this has been a very stressful process for us and we are so happy to living in one place for the next two years. We wasted no time renting a budget truck (for $99 dollars!!) and moving up to a townhome in Saginaw. We are surrounded by great friends and are grateful to finally settle down. To celebrate our acceptance into the Saginaw program, we decided to add two new additions to our family. (Sorry moms... this is not a pregnancy announcement!)

We responded to a classified ad this evening and instantly fell in love with these adorable pups. Rowdy is a complete snuggler and Snarky is a feisty little girl who seems to love chewing shoes and cords. Should be a very interesting couple of weeks!

Meet Rowdy and Snarky!

This is blue eyed Rowdy! More pictures are coming...
