missing him (last pictures at the beach)

The good thing about not having a puppy... not as much dog hair floating around!

Meagan and Dave sitting on the wood steps at the beach. Meagan and Dave are looking at each other.

 The sad thing about not having a puppy...  your VERY persistent morning alarm clock is gone.

Meagan and Dave sitting on the steps, Dave is wearing Meagan's sunglasses and giving the camera a huge smile!

The good thing about not having a puppy...  I get to sleep in a tiny bit!

Meagan and Dave on the walk with the beach, bright blue sky and puffy clouds behind them. There is even a tiny little island off in the distance.

The sad thing about not having a puppy... no more surprise (furry, might I add) shower buddies.

Meagan sitting while Dave in his blue puppy in training "cape", stands in front of her.

The good thing about not having a puppy is... no more poop scoopin' duty.

Collin makes a great photographer... Collin stood on the board walk rails and took this picture looking down at Meagan and Dave.

A sad thing about not having a puppy... you don't meet as many people while shopping or hear excited little kids yell "look it's a super dog!"

Meagan and Dave sitting on steps... both looking out over the water. Meagan is hugging Dave.

The good thing about not having a puppy... no more stepping in messy dribbles from the water bowl.

The sad thing about not having a puppy... no more before bed snuggles or kisses.

The good thing about not having a puppy...  I can eat a whole bag of raw baby carrots BY MYSELF!

The sad thing about not having a puppy...  I don't have anyone to share my carrots with.

The good thing about not having a puppy...  no more shopping sprees at the petstore. Thanks to Mr. chews-a-lot, our toy supply was constantly being refreshed, rending my wallet very thin.

Same position as last picture but both are smiling at the camera man.

The sad thing about not having a puppy...  no more needing to schedule my morning routine around a busy break, feeding a dog and a small play time. (yes that's a sad thing)

Meagan giving Dave a big hug! Dave's huge pink tongue is hanging out.

The good thing about not having a puppy... no more welts and bruises on your legs from a very strong tail, that is attached to a very happy dog.

Yet another good picture by Collin... Collin takes this picture standing on the bench, looking down, while Dave and I sit on the walk looking up... Dave has a great smile on!

The sad thing about not having a puppy (the hardest one for me!)...  no more glad-to-see-you-missed-you-so-much-even-though-you've-only-been-gone-15-minutes, greetings at the door.
