Sketch joined our family on Monday 3 July 2006. Read the story.

Allen & Sketch Chasing Each Other - Video (9/08)

These two goof balls can do this for long periods of time, much to the enjoyment of us onlookers... they're so silly :)

Sketch & the Squirrel (9/08)

Not for the faint of heart! It doesn't turn out well for the squirrel (poor little fella!), but Allen was VERY proud of his pooch :)

Random Sketch Videos (Jan-June 2008)

Chasing light, in the snow, playing with a turtle, watching a deer... LOVE this crazy dog!

My 37th Birthday (4/08)

Flowers, flowers and a Precious bear...

Random Friends (and Sketch) (posted late 07 and early 08)

A smattering of pictures of different friends and my puppy.

Snowy Day (12/06)

When you lose your electricity in December what do you do? Apparently take pictures of a very happy snow beast!

Puppy Portraits (9/06)

Just some sweet shots of my beautiful furry friend!

Fetch with Sketch (9/06)

Sketch's favorite opponent is Daddy. Here they are in an energetic round of fetch!

In Our Creek (8/06)

Sketch LOVES the water! He chases leaves and bugs and has no qualms about sticking his whole head under water!


Drinking from the Hose (7/06)

What could be more enjoyable on a hot St Louis summer than to get a cool drink from a lovely garden hose?


Tug with Ashley (7/06)

Who doesn't love to play with Sketch? Even Ashley (who weighs about the same as he does) is happy to take him on!


Sketch & Daddy (7/06)

The boys are getting along famously - Sketch has discovered that Daddy gives him the toughest run for his money in tug and so he asks for Allen to play ALL the time. He is such a puppy - tons of energy!


Our First Walk (7/06)

Sketch was finally getting well enough for us to take him for a walk - so the three of us headed off to the park for a fun (albeit hot) outing. Sketch particularly liked his new water bottle and sitting on the bench.


Sketch's 2nd Day (7/06)

Sketch's first morning at our house he was feeling much better. So Allen and I had some playtime with him (while Ashley slept). He's feeling more comfortable and at home. We're all getting quite used to each other.


Sketch's 1st Day (7/06)

On 3 July 2006, Sketch came home with us. He'd gotten a little sniffle - so he was feeling very quiet, but he was oh so sweet :)
