February 8 - 15, 2017 - 2 years 7 months - Chacala, Mexico, 2nd week

Boat ride to Isla Coral

selfie! 

So many doggies to meet!  This was one of the friendliest.

Long day! 

Playing with Marco at our home away from home.

They were playing "doggies" and would go fetch the toys and bring them back to me! 

My little naked gardener!  He loved helping Concha and Suguey water the garden (as well as turning the hose on them occasionally!)

More sand! 

Kadin quickly learned how to eat the "paletas" (real fruit bars) without dropping a single bit of it on the ground. 

Another day, another friend. 

There was an old go-cart in our backyard.  Super fun.  And Kadin stole my socks today and put them on all by himself!

A fun autumn week, hanging out around home and work.

Autumn hike to the pond

Woof woof! 

This is the second of 3 injuries to the same eye within 2 weeks.  A stick, a table edge, and a gravel road.  What an intrepid explorer!!

September 2 - September 8, 2015 - 13 months and 4 weeks

Sheryl and her Mom were in town and we went on an amazing scenic flight around Denali.  We left Kadin at home because he had a bit of a cold.  Didn't stop him from wanting to play in the bed of the truck with the dogs - needless to say, we did NOT drive with him back there!

First he tries to get outside, but finds "his" doggie door is closed, so then he goes and looks for a snack in the doggie bowl… denied!

I spent the night and this morning on an EMT shift at the north edge of the fire.  It was a quiet night, but scary to see the flames so close to the road and sad to hear of all of the property and acreage burnt. 

The rest of the afternoon, I was pretty tired and let Kadin entertain himself with Danial's dog door.  Out he goes!

I'm coming back in now!

So, we give the empty cat food cans to the dogs to clean out, but Kadin races for them and takes them from the dogs and, of course, immediately puts the can in his mouth.  Vai dieviņas!  Imagine what he'll get into once he can walk!

Kadin had a blast on our little overnighter out to the Chulitna River.  He chewed on sticks, sucked on rocks, ate pebbles and sand and was a happy little camper!

Today was a day full of unaccomplished errands and by the afternoon, we were both grump-pots so no photo was taken.  However, here are a couple of fun photos from earlier in the week of Kadin begging for treats along with his brothers and sisters!

Kadin is thinking… That looks fun!  Can I have one?

Awww, come on, please… I'm sitting, just like everybody else!
