…The vicious beast! Ok, not that vicious. But I did have to tie her to the tree to take her picture. Whaddya say to that, eh doggy?

Hi! My name is Maggie! Oh no! I’ve got a wood chip in my mouth, how embarrassing!

I’m a 3-month old Boxer mix, and I’m all mixed into the lives of my new family, thanks to Santa. But first things first: puppies need lots of things to chew on. The little tree I’m tied to currently fits the bill. Grrrr!

Hey, my seatbelt is stuffed down in the seat cushions and I can’t get it out! Give me a rope or something! Daddy’s driving?! AAAAUGH!

Looks like I survived to tell the tale. By the way, happiness is warm laundry fresh from the dryer. Aaaaaah. I’ve made friends with the neighbors, I’m terrified of school buses, and I love to play fetch. If only Cheddar would like me, then my life would be perfect!

Time for another letterbox adventure…with the dog! We came across a box we stamped months ago. Drew & Brinley were just as excited to see their old stamps in the logbook as they were about finding a new box.

Drew & Brinley educated Maggie on the art of tupperware hunters, and attempted to recruit her into the ranks:

I think she’s reading the fine print!

I dunno Drew, it looks to me like she’s ready to sign the contract!

Signed, sealed, delivered, she’s all yours Drew!

Meanwhile, another member of our troop was downwind from the conversation…

Whassammattayou? It’s not a heat wave Ellie; just a doggie fart! P.U.!

Not sure what to make of this bunch: this shoulda been an outtake, but all 3 girls are wearing homemade duds, and they are proud of it! And that makes me giddy inside.

My letterbox! Mine! All mine! I’m a Letter-Boxer! Ha!

So…how does one open a letterbox…assuming one has no opposable thumbs?

We tried several times to get a nice picture of the new crew, but Maggie was set on showing Rowan how to touch your nose with your tongue.

Got it! (Daddy was being especially silly)

And just like that…Bang! Drew’s ear must taste good!

I knew there’d be vicious beasts somewhere in this post. Yeeehaw!
