Elvis and Bonzai-BFF's

Adam & Monica Mariner (Monica was in Cris' mission) came to Idaho Falls to see her parents for Christmas and they brought there dog Bonzai. Elvis and Bonzai hit it off so good. They were playing hard for the full 4 hours that we were visiting. As soon as we got in the car Elvis crashed. Hard. He slept like a rock and as soon as we got home he barely woke up. Too bad they live so far away or we would have play dates more often!!


Ferocious Bonzai


Bonzai is so wet looking because Elvis can't breathe too well and so his tongue is out whenever he is playing and well the other dog gets licked to death.



They came running into the kitchen and Elvis had the bone. But Bonzai wanted the bone...it was then a battle for the bone. They played keep-away for a while after that.


You know how most normal people have pictures of their kids and their friends kids in a bath together....well we have our dogs.

After bath time they got treats. Ahhh....they are such good friends.

Happy Holidays!!!

Sun as we were driving back to rexburg.


Elvis hanging while I play some piano.

We opened some our presents in Rexburg before we went to my parents house.


New Shoes....love em!


Elvis' new bed

Let it snow, let it snow, ... ok make it stop.

So we went to Washington for Christmas and we came home to a huge surprise. There was about 2 1/2 feet of snow everywhere. When we left there was only about 4 inches. They plowed the snow in our parking lot and left a wall of snow where the yard entrance would be. Elvis was so stoked to be home but was puzzled when he could not get to the yard. He kept sniffing around and standing up on the snow to see where the yard was. Anya left her car here...and well you can see her car...or really you can't.


SANTA!!!!!

We have a santa running around the house!!


Watching to make sure no one came to see him putting presents under the tree.



Elvis & Rambo

This is Rambo. One of the girls that Cris works with got him for free from Wal-Mart (its a present for her family) . When she has to work we dog sit. His paws are twice the size of Elvis' and he is only a puppy.


We had to kinda play the ref because Elvis is so excited to have a dog to play with that he kinda rough housed poor lil Rambo.


Here they are playing. Rambo learned he didn't have to put with Elvis and well...the fight was on!


I rescued Rambo from the crazed Elvis...He never left Rambo..even to get water.


Rambo left and Elvis is now dead tired. He actually got comfy in this position. We only took the picture.


So Elvis is spoiled and has alot of toys but some of his favorite toys are things that we use...for instance this water bottle. No one knows how much noise a little dog can make with a water bottle. I'm not sure if you have ever noticed but Elvis' face is smashed in and so he can't grab things all too well. So when he does he gets excited and has to show us. I thought it was hilarious because if you look hard you can see his little teeth...he's the life of our party..sad.
