And Introducing...Brodie Mac!

We settled on Brodie, and we've added the "Mac" as a tribute to Cathy and her clan. Why Brodie? Well, partially because it was one of the three names that Travis and I agreed on, but mostly because the puppy really seemed to like it. And a pet homage to Kevin Smith is never a bad thing. There was some concern that Bitty would be confused by Brodie, but of course she's smart enough to figure out who's who.

Now, for the photo montage!


Brodie looks on as Travis shows Bitty some love.


Brodie introduces himself to a wary Little Bit. (Again, in this picture you are seeing one puppy and one full-sized dog.)


Brodie tries to play, Bitty tries to tolerate.


Brodie's in love, Bitty could care less...and would you look at that boy's PAWS?


Getting to know you, getting to know all about ... you get the idea.


He loves his kisses.


How did I earn all these handsome men in my house?!


Who says I have goofy ears??


Bitty sort of attempts to play, but decides she'd rather continue looking down on Brodie.


Putting the adorableness of Brodie above all else, I share a photo of me first thing in the morning. All he wanted was to curl up on my neck and go back to sleep.

***And now, some photos of our kids***


Bitty poses so well in her favourite sweater. (It's been cold, and they're tiny...they have to have warm "clothes".)


Indiana makes a rare appearance. (Many of you who have been to the house several times are saying "Wait, you have TWO cats?!")


Roosevelt (Rooster) stops what he's doing in order to let me get a picture of his good side. (This is our egomaniacal cat.)


Bitty in her new favourite thing - her Christmas doggie bed. She lives in it now. (And yes, it does match her sweater. Don't you judge me.) Also, I know she appears to have milky cataract-like eyes in this one, but fear not...it's just the light.

***And now for something completely different***


Bob Cratchit and Helen at home...wait, Bob and Helen! Scandalous!


Travis all geared up to ride. (No, I do not miss the mutton chops. And yes, that is a sticker for Real Love Diplomats in his toolbox.)


Jeff, true-to-form, expressed keen interest in what I would be wearing while riding my dirtbike. Here I am in my Girlie Gear!

That is all!
