My brother’s dog.
My kids can’t even do that.
No answers. Just stories.
My brother’s dog.
My kids can’t even do that.

Da Momma: Elizabeth, a journalist and college instructor. Formerly a latte-slinging, cell phone-talking Washington political junkie. Now a wild-dancing accidentally offensive woman with an irrational passion for flinging things on the floor and hanging things from ceilings. Wants you to think she's a grown-up, even though she calls her Dad the minute things get complicated.

Baby Eden: The Schmoopy. My sweet little Three, who shrank instead of grew. But she's always had Momma's back.

Mary: Devoted to hermit crabs and FREAKING OUT. Made me a mother.

Karenna: Peekaboo Streak. The Roodle, Doodley. Everybody knows about Roo. Passionate about folk music. Some werewolf tendencies. Always looking for new employees. Sophisticated vocabulary

Cute Husband, Esq: A former Marine, it was he who instilled in our daughters a love of getting up very early in the morning to go off and do things. Some days he's lucky he's still alive.

Da Posse: Three friends, six years, eight kids. Because no one can ever see her own stuff. So you gotta get some friends who see yours and tell you about it. And then promptly forget it because they are easily distracted by shiny objects. Oooo. Shiny. The moms aren't in this shot. Nor three of the kids. Just use your freaking imagination.
Moonbeam and Sunbeam: Yes, okay, somehow or other they got the same sorta names as our cats, Moonlight and Sunshine. That was a total accident. However, like the cats, they are super-cuddly, will get food for themselves if hungry, and they're part of the family. Like the rest of the family, they believe in the power of liquor, drugs, and hot glue. They have no fear of blood.

The Beasties: Two cats. And some cacti that refuse to die. This is a picture of a fish we killed a long time ago. Need to update that.
that was awesome! smart dog.
Jealous Dog Owner is Jealous.
Sacré-Bleu!! Well done, to both your brother & the pooch!!
Can your brother come over and train my kids?
I know!! But I did have to sit down and have a stern discussion with him that DOG BONES DO NOT TOILET TRAIN BABIES.
Other than that, I think he’s totally good to go.
Seriously, my husband or daughter can’t do that.
You think the dog might give lessons?
Wow.
Now, that’s comedy!
Well, obviously the dog understands the meaning of “we don’t want to air condition the world, do we?”
My 18-month-old just made me play that about 10 times…
“dog! door!” then “whoaaaa! ”
I’m pretty sure those would have been my words as well.
and I’ll bet he doesn’t laugh at you when you put him in time out, either.
hahahaha!!!! i LOVE it. black labs are the BEST!
What an awesome dog! I need him to come work with my kids….even they don’t do that!
never mind the kids, my husband can’t even do that!!!!!
Good pup!
