Happy New Year!

As you can probably tell by the complete lack of updates, life has gotten quite busy. The new job and school are keeping me too busy to take many pictures of the gang, much less write anything that isn't work or school related.  (I do post pics occasionally on Franklin's Facebook page)

Everyone is doing great. The 2011 holiday gift stuffed toys are still intact. The tubshitters seem to have stopped tubshitting.

Lola has claimed a new bed with her best friend:

Franklin is testing the bounds of how long he can go without a haircut (3 months seems to be the limit, I called and made an appointment for next weekend):

and he got a new necktie

Doesn't he look smart and businesslike?

Lola is suffering a bit from winter - fewer outings and opportunities to see strangers. We haven't been able to go to SocialBulls often, but we'll try to get back in a groove. She misses her weekly trips to the farmers' market as well, and is showing more fear and stress. We're going to try the Thundershirt. Have any of you had luck with it for anxious dogs? 

In general, life is good.

We wish all of you the best for 2013!
