Brawling Around the State

While Ian was wrestling with his team down south in Richfield, Liza had a wrestling date of her own with Sora.


We reintroduced Sora to the doggie door which she is slowly getting the hang of and also introduced Kim to the best rice pudding in town which she promptly wrestled the raisins out of.

Ian arrived home excited to see the four legged freak dog and very happy about placing third in the tournament. He's a little bashed and bruised and from the smell I'm assuming Richfield hotels have no showers.

New monkey in the bed

Yes, the orange pillow mine. Or it was mine until Avyrlie made it clear that I am just too big to fit in her mommy's bed and Liza is just right. Yeah, coal for that one.

Chelsi and Kendall came stopped by for a bit yesterday on their way home from the conclusion of their car shopping. They picked up a great (family sized...) AWD that they'll love this time of year. The Smith's were more than a little beat after a day of new puppy, work, and Christmas preparations, so my apologies to them for being very boring hosts.

Kim and Matt also stopped by with a new addition. They have a male goldendoodle puppy they named Sora (technically a girls name although they named him after a boy who is voice acted by a boy who plays girls parts. very gender confused dog...)
Sora is a bundle of timid enthusiasm. He rarely sits still (thus, none of my pictures turned out at all) and got along well with Liza (they both like the same potty places on my carpet :(

Avyrlie is still pretty wary of her teeth filled friend, but loves taking care of her especially when she can tuck her into bed for a shared naptime.
