Colts v. Ravens

Went to the Ravens vs. Colts game last Sunday. It was our first time in the new stadium!







We got there early and the roof wasn't open yet - but about an hour before the game we saw that it was starting to open!


There is also a huge side window that opens to downtown - it makes you really dizzy when you approach it.




The view changes depending on which floor you're on - I think this was the second floor


The view from our seats - really not bad considering how high up we were :)

More Hinata

We were actually home during the day and were able to play outside for awhile


The kids next door were playing with a playground ball and she was fascinated.


Still watching...


She already loves having her belly rubbed

Hinata!!

Alright, here are the promised pictures. Yes, it is a day early, but the vet said they couldn't fix her today since she has an upper respiratory illness. So we were able to bring her home but now we have to keep her separated from Kelsey for 10 days since she is still contagious while on her medicine. Um, she's coughed like 3 times all day. Whatever. If she gets better in a few days we won't worry about it.

She is super hyper and wiggily like a puppy so she's probably still pretty young. But super cute and very, very smart! ^_^

She takes after Xeno in that is is difficult to get a good picture because of her black face and eyes. So Kelsey is still the photogenic one. Although it's partly because Hinata can't sit still for more than 2.4 seconds. Also she thinks she is a lap dog and tries to flop herself directly on your lap if you kneel down :)


Garrick taught her to sit


She's wondering where Garrick has gone :)


Wow, her legs are soo long and not super puffy, lol


I tried so hard to get her to look at me. She isn't used to her harness yet and kept trying to shake it off


Hehe, her ears are wiggly!

New dog!

So since Garrick is now on a regular 8-hour workday we decided to adopt another dog. We went to the Humane Society (they didn't have much) and then to Animal Control where we got Kelsey - success!

Anyways, here's her intake picture from 2 weeks ago - you can't tell her cuteness from it :) She was a stray and judging from her still-sharp teeth she's about 6 months?














She is clearly a German Shepherd mix, so there is a definite potential for humongocity but her paws aren't terribly big nor her head, so hopefully she'll just be medium like Kelsey. Also her hair is slightly longer and much softer than a german. She's about 20 lbs and kept trying to get up into my lap! And unlike Kelsey she is excellent at fetch with both the tennis ball and frisbee!

No name yet... we're working on that - we have until we pick her up from getting spayed on Thursday <3

Irish Fest 2008

We saw the sheepherding dogs :)















































Stopped to watch a few concerts






























They were good
















This group was awesome - they even played the song from the end of Napoleon Dynamite!















I couldn't get this leprechaun to turn around! But he was still pretty great

School and pets

School starts Monday - here's my schedule in case you're curious ^_^




















Here are Kelsey and Xeno (that black blob to the right side of the picture is him). This is about as close as they ever get. Notice that they're both sleeping and that Xeno's head is under the curtain so he probably has no idea.

RANDOM

I forgot to post this last time! When we were at Ikasucon I finally got the Yuki figurine I've been trying forever to get. They come in sealed boxes, so it took me three conventions, two Mikurus, one Kaname and one Kontana to get her, lol ^_^
















(You may or may not see me in similar costume in the near future)


Garrick got me hooked on guitar hero - we wanted to play together so we bought a used one. I decorated with my newly acquired Naruto stickers.

















Kelsey sleeps with her tongue out a lot but we have a hard time catching her for a picture. I finally got her, but the sock was in the way. You can still get the idea though >_<
