Juney-Bug

Where is our dog?  You may have noticed that June hasn't been in any of the photos lately.  Well, that's because we left her in Ohio.  We knew that it would be tough to live in a hotel for a month with a one year old and that it would be impossible to live in a hotel with a one year AND a high-energy dog.  My in-laws offered to keep her until we got settled.  She has loved staying with them. She goes on trips to the bank, visits the neighbors, daily walks and has people to play ball, brush and adore her.

Here is a video of Jenna playing with June: 

Although this was supposed to be a temporary stay for June, my in-laws have graciously offered to keep her until we leave New Jersey (which we think will be less than a year -- but don't worry, you guys will be the first to know when & where we're moving).  June is the kind of dog that needs walked everyday.

June connecting with nature

She needs room to run and play and considering that we are (...in no particular order)

1) in a concrete jungle (ie: hardly any grass for her to potty in - I feel so bad for the dogs that have to potty on the sidewalk.  Dogs like grass.)
2) on the 3rd floor
3) have a toddler

4) live in an 860 sq feet apartment
5) share walls with neighbors

...we decided it probably was best to let them keep her.

Pretty girl

 One thing about June is that she is actually quite smart. She will use her nose to open doors/gates and does all sorts of other amazing tricks.  But what drives her crazy, is light on the ceiling.  If there is a reflection from your watch, ring or (gasp) a laser pointer -- watch out because she will try to climb up the wall in order to attack the light.  Here is a video of her at the in-laws, when she first discovered the skylights:

We can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving, June!  Be a good girl.
