Today, Mother’s Day, me and Olive took a trip to see my mom and dad.  It was a long one-hour car drive for her, but she handled it okay.

And in the past I’ve always rolled my eyes when I would call a female dog a “him” or visa versa, and the dog-owner corrected me.  But now, after spending a day with my mom, I can see why it bugs dog-owners.

For some reason, my mom kept saying, “Where is he?” or “He is so cute.”  And I kept correcting her…eventually just giving up.

Why do you think it bothers dog-owners so much?

Daniel posted this video to his blog this morning, and I wanted to post it too:

I was talking with my  friend Landileigh last night and I said how difficult it was to get a face picture of my puppy.  Olive is just really camera shy, and doesn’t like the noises a camera makes (she’s a scaredy cat/puppy).

About an hour after I was talking with Landi, Olive fell asleep on Daniel’s lap and let me take some really cute photos like the one above.
