I guess we're letting the dog on the furniture now

Everybody loves Chris

I would've crawled onto his lap as well, but somebody had to take the picture.

beatnik + cheese = cheese-nik

Goatee of cheese.  

Xopher and Xander

They often dress alike.  They love each other!

He walks!

I've been trying to load this video for weeks now, but the blog kept choking on it.  At any rate, I finally managed to get it loaded.  Enjoy!

Rufus

We adopted him from a shelter.  He's very sweet and good with Xander, although Xander's been a bit jealous since Rufus came on the scene.  But he's adjusting.  

So far, we've trained Rufus to sit and that he's not allowed on the furniture when humans are in the room.  He's already housebroken, and he doesn't chew.  He just wants love and meat products.  Also, he rarely barks.  He's wonderful!

One year old

This is my precious cherub at twelve months.  Yes, that is the dirty diaper hamper he is clinging to so joyfully.  He's learning to walk, and he loves pushing that thing around.
