glamor shots

Hi Guys!  It's me, Gesso.  I just thought I'd pop in and share these glamor shots my mom took of me.  She's a little obsessed with my good looks!  I mean, everytime I turn around, *snap* there's another picture being taken of me.  Geez mom, get a life!

Since everything is still packed (oh we've already mentioned that?  in about every post?), we've been a little bored.  I mean, no books, no colored pencils, no fabric, and would you believe it, they even left my basket of chewing shoes packed in a box!  YOU GUYS!!  What the heck am I supposed to chew on?

 

Last night my mom gave me some leftover pasta after dinner and guess what?  I threw it up!  All over the carpet!  And then I tried to eat it all over again.  My parents wouldn't let me finish though--they can be such a drag!
Anyway, it was really nice of you guys to drop by.

Handsomely yours,
Gesso

nap time

You should know that I have about five thousand pictures of Gesso taking a nap.
Which is only okay because he is so adorable.

oh the weather outside!

is so delightful!  welcome back winter!

Gesso the giant

80 lbs later...

my oh my how they grow!

The Plan:

The other day Evan and I were engaging in a very serious conversation about what to do with our lives.  This may or may not be our #1 conversation topic lately.  Anyway, we have been conspiring for some time now to come up with a plan to move somewhere deep in the woods (or desert!) and not work at all.  Possible?  Oh yes. 

 Our latest plan includes sending this mug-shot of Gesso to hundreds of dog related companies (dog food, dog shampoo, doggy treats, and possibly even a dog house company or two) and have him be their poster child (dog).  Because it seems that every time we are out with Gesso, someone tells us that our dog is pretty.  And then they ask what her name is (boy dogs can be pretty too!!).  So if everything works out like we've planned, we will soon be living off royalty checks and fanning ourselves with hundred (or maybe thousand!) dollar bills.

Let me know if you want us to figure out your life plan too--we are quite good at it :)

The hardest part about having a sheep dog in the house...

...is finding little nibbles on things that taste/smell like sheep.

 Oh dear.

Family Portraits with Gesso are very tricky (and a little bit funny)

Good enough.    What part of 'look at the camera' does he not understand?  Sheesh!

Gesso's forehead smells like potato chips and warm dirt

Which is maybe my favorite smell ever.

And then I got snubbed

Gesso is all the sudden way too cool for me.  He must be getting into his teenage years....sigh.  Where did the time go?

p.s.  so cute.  I want a nap.

Dear Gesso,

I am sorry that I have been spreading terrible gossip about you around these parts.  Even though it is all true.  You like to eat things.  Like human food.  And little gnomies.  And as of this morning, my Pakistani mukluks (frown).

But I forget to mention how much I like you.  Because I do.  Like like.

I think you are pretty.  People often confuse you for a girl dog, and I suspect it's because of your stunning good looks.  (gush)

And I really do think you are turning into a nice young man.  Look at your sideburns!  And your arm freckles!  You are really growing up.

And the way you sometimes turn into a snowplow?  I love it!  So please just stop eating my stuff.   

xo, Holly
