Ice, Ice, Baby...

This is Kenzie enjoying one of her favorite treats: an ice cube.

"Where's Daddy?"

And...that cuddly nature that we love so much!

Super Puggle!

Kenzie Bean was a spider web for Halloween, but that doesn't sound very exciting. Maybe we should say she was a version of Spider-Man. She wore her Halloween jammies half the day that day, but the funniest part is that they glow, too. So we laughed with the lights out in our bedroom, watching this neon green form scamper around the bed and then settle into a ball to go to sleep. I don't think Kenzie has any idea how entertaining she can be just by being herself.

Wanna play?

Kenzie the Puggle likes Football Season :)

Kenzie Makes a Move

A couple of weeks ago, we moved to a new apartment. It was quite the traumatic experience for Kenzie, who squealed from confinement in the bedroom as we carted our stuff out to the UHaul, trip after trip after trip. She just didn't understand what was going on! Before the big day, she helped with packing as she could, of course. But most exciting was the discovery of long-forgotten balls and rawhide bones and other goodies underneath our couches and dresser, where she just couldn't reach...a whole slew of "new" toys!

I must say, she has settled into her new home quite comfortably, ecstatic to have carpet instead of slippery hardwood floors — perfect for lying down for a rest at any given time, and for getting good traction when she runs around the apartment in a frenzy.

Father - Daughter Time : )

Most parents get kiddie pools for their kids ...

And we got one for Kenzie today, so she could cool off after long walks in the summer sun. She loved it, especially with her longtime favorite "Mr. Fish" toy in the water and Daddy there to entertain.

I was thinking it was a terrific idea and successful execution until dinnertime, when Ryan yelled at me from the patio where he was grilling: "Kenzie's peeing in the pool!"

JUST like a kid.
