Jack Loves Lisa - & so do we!

While we were in Italy, Jack and Bridget stayed at the Animal Den in Sacramento (we highly recommend it!!!). The owner, Lisa, is a friend of ours that we met through the Aussie MeetUp group that we participate in. Lisa is the organizer of the group and we have been attending MeetUps since it began in April of 2008. We get together for monthly activities with our Aussies and love how Lisa always takes the time to make these fun plans to enjoy with our dogs. From camping to snowshoeing to hikes and general dog park visits - Lisa is always coming up with great ideas to keep our Aussies busy!

When we went to Italy, Lisa made sure that Jack and Bridget were well taken care of (read: downright spoiled!) in our absence! To thank her and sneak in a non-MeetUp visit, we had her over for dinner recently. Jack loves to cuddle so he crawled right up and claimed his spot as oversized lap dog. (We love Lisa just as much Jack, but she'd probably look at us funny if WE crawled into her lap to say thanks for all she does!)

Thanks for everything Lisa! You're the best!

Another Fourth of July in Tahoe!

Jack plays navigator on the way up to Tahoe.  He usually paces the backseat, but today he was pretty set on watching over Joel's shoulder.  
















Morning hike in Tahoma to wear the dogs out. Mission accomplished!
















Another day at the beach in Meeks Bay - my idea of the perfect summer day! 















Jenn & Melissa on the beach in Meeks Bay















Our friends Melissa & Brian came up to join us for the weekend. We love having friends come to Tahoe with us! 
















Melissa strikes a pose!















Since the 4th is my favorite holiday, I made cupcakes!  Who doesn't lick the bowl? 




















At the Meeks Bay Fireman's Pancake breakfast...where else would we be???

















We love kayaking in Meeks Bay - it's always fun to be out on the water!
















Our nephew Owen just hanging out ;-) 
















A typical day at the beach - Sara, Allison, Owen, and Riley















After the Tahoe City firework show - Happy Birthday Allison! 















The whole clan before heading home - Joel, Jenn, Bridget, Jack, Bruce, Brian, & Melissa
