Now that I’m back from Christmas break in Oregon and can finally breathe, I had a minute to look through a few photos I took of my parents’ dog, Brady! He’s a 5-year-old cockapoo (that’s a cocker spaniel and poodle mix) and goes about life as if he were the absolute king of the household. His two favorite things to do (or at least the things he did most often when I was there) were perch himself on top of the couch cushions and run around outside barking at squirrels and cars. So it was pretty hard to get him to sit still for the photos we took outside! I wish I could have had more time with the little guy, but regardless, it was a wonderful Christmas break. Welcome to 2011, everyone!
