Eve Day 6

Here is another picture of Eve with her official outfit on. I think she looks great in the sun!

On a side not (non Eve related), I spent some great time outdoors today getting the garden up and going. I planted some snap peas, and I moved a big clump of my raspberry bushes (Rob helped), and we'll see what comes up! It was a beautiful day, and I love SPRING!

Colorado

I just love Colorado this time of year.... everything is gorgeous!

I few weekends ago we went up to Estes Park where I took this photo... and then I made it into a poster for our living room...

Eve Day 5

Well, since Eve is a guide dog, she has to have some pictures of her looking all 'official'. I tried to get some good ones the other day, but Eve always seemed to look sad in the pictures.

I decided that Eve really doesn't like her picture being taken. That's why she looks so sad in the pictures. In fact, I think Eve has special ears that go back farther than usual so she can look sadder that way :) But without the camera, she runs around and looks happy :)

In this one she looks a little less sad .... I think she just wants to go play!

Eve Day 4

Eve loves snuggling. A lot.

So every night when I go to bed, or when I wake up in the morning, she is looking at me with these SAD eyes, saying, "Please, won't you snuggle me? I NEED someone to snuggle me! -- Mostly, I need Brianna to snuggle me because she gives in more than Rob..."

What can I say? I love snuggling too!

Really, how can you resist this cute face? Looks like she might just cry if you don't give in....

Eve Day 3

Eve is a very smart dog. (if I do say so myself!)

One of the tricks we taught her is to bow. We started teaching her this because she always stretches and it looks like a bow, so we just started teaching her that way. Now she is pretty good at it, and we're pretty proud of her!

We think it would be fun to have her bow at graduation.

Here you can really tell she is bowing!

Eve day 2

Well I did say Eve loves to spend time on her back, didn't I?

Tonight I was trying to teach her some tricks, and she always thought I would be happy if she rolled on her back... I think her thought processing was something like this... "Well, I don't understand what you want me to do, but you can rub my belly while I think about it!"

I love her facial expression here -- "Why are you taking my picture and not rubbing my belly?!"

Eve day 1

So we got an email from Barb (Regional coordinator for Guide Dogs), and it said Eve will be going back on May 8th.

With a date, it seems much more real that Eve is really going away. I'm trying really hard not to get sad, but I know I will miss her.

So, my project is to take a picture of Eve every day I have her for the next month, hoping to capture all the things I love about her :)

Here is the first one.... I sometimes think Eve will get career changed because she spends so much time on her back. She LOVES getting her belly rubbed. That's not such a bad thing. And then she'll fall asleep on her back too... what a silly dog!
