smart toys

Hmm, pull the food out of this end, ignore it for a few hours, and the food reappears.... I bet if I hide upstairs long enough, they'll even carry it up for me next time.... Now, if only I could figure out that tv remote....

so courageous

With quick action, Marley just escaped the oncoming waves....

Now, if only we can get him to come to the other side, without having to wait for low tide...

dog beach (freedom!)

Hey Marley.... Over here....

Marley, let's go this way... No, over this way...

ok, time to go.... hey, where are you going now...

on safari

...slowly ...sneaking up .....and catching marley asleep in his natural habitat... ok, so this is actually what he does best, and in his favorite location. I think he just likes to keep the bed warm for us... now if he'd only move so we could actually find out if it is warm...

foster family

At Marley's first venture to dog beach, we ran into his foster family. He got a chance to rough house with his old foster sister, Zoe. He doesn't play with too many dogs, but they always seem to get into it a bit. Sisters....always causing trouble.....

Heather and Marley

It's never too difficult to find Marley around the house, we're just happy he's willing to share his favorite spot with us. Looks like Heather might have woken him up this time though...

Starting to get comfortable

In case anyone was worried about whether or not Marley has been getting more comfortable, rest assured he is. His three favorite spots in the house are; our bed, his brand new personalized bed, and absolutely any other spot he can fit on. Though he still doesn't play much with his toys, he has found a good use for his stuffed puppy.... seems like it makes a rather comfy pillow.

Here's a little cameo of his new little piggy squeak toy. He also has a little fat rat, but it's probably hiding somewhere ready to trip up Heather or Scott. Marley has learned a new game with his toys. It's a combination of catch and keep away. Basically we throw it, he catches it, and then runs away from us. The game ends when we get tired of chasing him, or Marley remembers he doesn't actually play with toys....
