This is Sammy right before we got her from her foster mom, Tracey. She had just smeared some paint all over Tracey's house...awesome.

although she has a tendency to lay in the MIDDLE of the aisle, and frequently expose herself to my coworkers. Whoops!

You know it's a party when Sammy busts out her slap bracelets and dances around.

She LOVES the field by our house—we play catch with her tennis ball and her tongue seems to grow longer and longer and longer...alarming.

that's her excited face before she really starts splashing and slipping around in the river.

Look at those little booties! I don't think she minds them all that much...she feels so pretty.

even though she has decided that our couch DEFINITELY belongs to her, and don't even think about taking her spot!
