It's all in the DNA: Ode to our Pup

Before Evelyn came along we had our little fur baby Indy.... he ruled the roost since we got him in September of 2009. Indy named after Indiana Jones (not racing) is a shih tzu. He is a spunky fun loving little guy who is a lover! Indy is a snuggler and is always a sweetheart, (sometimes too much of a lover, he gets really excited about visitors, sorry frequent visitors). Sometime he is a little stinker, but hey, aren't we all! :) The day we brought Evelyn home they were instant buddies, I was worried about how he would handle it but he was really good! He wanted to play with baby toys at first but we broke that from him pretty quick. Their friendship progressed so much to the point where Evelyn can now play fetch with him, they play tug-of-war, and I think Indy might get the most hugs out of anyone in the family (yeah I am jealous!) Mike and I often talk about how we could not imagine what it would be like without him, and I am pretty sure Evelyn would not have near as much fun at home if he were not here to give her puppy kisses everyday. Oh and his new favorite spot is right next to the high chair at any eating time (we are happy to have a live vacuum)!

This is Indy's first year in a nutshell, top left, Sept '09; top middle, Oct '09; bottom left, Nov '09; bottom middle Dec '09; and big picture to the right is July '10, his first birthday!

First meeting and first few sweat moments where their friendship blossomed!

I find this series funny when put in order, Indy came up to smell Evelyn, and well she farted and he heard it obviously, and then he had to go and sniff it... nothing like solidifying a friendship over poo.
