Caleb, Sarah, and Cookie on our last camping trip. For being an eight-year-old dog, she gets awfully energetic when we go outdoors with her. We just took her in during the month of August and she seems to do well here. This sweetie comes inside during the day but won't step onto our carpet, unless we leave the house without her. She prefers to sleep outside in her heated doghouse at night in the garage.

One small note of concern: Caleb and I went back to back in front of the mirror this morning. I barely won this time. I have just half an inch on him for now. I wonder if I quit feeding him green beans, if he'll quit growing.
