Merry Christmas (Flashback)

This was last year's Christmas shot. How things can change in a year - we got rid of the artificial tree and blinding fluorescent lights, moved out of our apartment, and added Roland.  Ella, however, remains as photogenic as ever.

Merry Christmas from Ella and Roland!

Fall videos

Today is our first video update: a few videos of Ella and Roland I took throughout the fall and posted to YouTube for my family to see how they were coming along. They're pretty basic videos - just some interaction between the dogs at different stages - but they show how significantly Roland has grown. 

I shot each in HD, so if watching them in HD interests you, click on the video to launch it in YouTube and see it in full resolution. 

This first one is Ella at 14 months, Roland at 8.5 weeks, in Roland's first week at home:

The second is Ella at 15.5 months, Roland at 3 months, in the back yard of our new house:

And the third is Ella at 17 months, Roland at 4.5 months, in our living room:

And then there's Roland.

Roland turned 5 months old yesterday. He's growing quickly, and looking less like a puppy and more like an adult dog every day.

Recent Ella pics

Ella was our first dog and gets first billing in the blog - it's only right that she's first to get her own post. 

These are a few pics I've taken recently of Ella around the house.  I took these between December 7 (when Ella hit the 17 month mark - time flies) and December 18. 

Fun in the snow

Ella and Roland had fun romping around the yard this afternoon.  Here are a few pics.
