Tails of Savannah and Bazi

Ok, so I was trying to be a little bit funny and I intentionally mispelled "Tales" in my title because Savannah and Bazi are dogs! =) Savannah is my parents' dog and Bazi is my neice-dog (brother and sister-in-law's dog). I am spending a long weekend with my family in Colorado and this is the first of what will probably be several posts about my trip...lots of things to cover when I haven't been here for almost a year! But, as the time goes on, I am loving these doggies more and more...and have recently been wishing more and more that I had one of my own! If you know me at all, you know this is a BIG STEP because I have not always been a dog-lover. At any rate, these are just a few photos of these funny dogs. I love them enough to give them their very own blog post. Enjoy!

She is a mini-bear....mom and dad feed her good, I guess. Plus, she has about 2 inches of hair around her whole body that add some extra "weight." Who knows, maybe it's true for dogs too that the camera adds 10 pounds?
Savannah hasn't really learned the whole "fetch the ball and BRING IT BACK to me" game yet. I would throw it to her and then she would take it to her corner in the backyard and play with it and not bring it back to me. Silly dog!
She has a few tricks under her belt. Here I had a treat in my hand, so I asked her to "sit" and then "shake." Good dog, Savannah!

Oh Bazi...why are your ears pulled back? You LOVE your aunt Erinn!
I was trying to take a nice photo with her and she decided to stick that skinny little tongue in my ears and nose....she likes to do that for some reason. But I turned my head and then so did she.
Sitting on the couch with the neice-dog, drinking some wine, and hanging out with the bro and sis-in-law! The day was good.

Josh loves his dog...and boy, does she love him! She just stood there to take it all in.
