Meet Marley!




After a year of talking about how much I wanted a dog... While we were at yellowstone last summer, Russell finally gave in and decided I could have a puppy! My cousins, Jessica and Brian, breed Golden Doodles (and Basset Hounds.) I have wanted one for years. So this is all a dream come true for me.

Shortly after the puppies were born, we drove up to Idaho to meet our pup. It took a LONG time to pick out a name (with help from Grandma), finally we decided on Marley. The first movie Russ and I went to together was "Marley and Me." Christmas Day 2008. So I guess we are succors for the sentimental stuff.

Marley is growing bigger every day. He loves going on walks, children, eating time, squeaky toys, his knit elephant, watching Chuck on TV, and playing with Tank, the golden retriever next door.
