(Apologies about the quality — the camera is going back for more repairs... and did you ever try to get a bunch of 8-week-old Airedale puppies to hold still for their picture?)

And before anyone asks, the closeups of the sweet baby in shorts 34, 35 and 36 are not Obidiah (Obi). They are his brother — then named Ozymandes by us, but now named Spencer by his new mom. They were taken so that his new mom could see him before he went halfway across the country to meet her...

Flee the dreaded soccer ball


10000006.jpg
Run for it!


10000007.jpg
I dunno...


10000008.jpg
The boys attack the leaf, while Hilda rests


10000009.jpg
OK, maybe I'll help with those leaves


10000010.jpg
Hmmm. Very tasty...


10000011.jpg
Get any closer and I'll bark at you


10000012.jpg
Mom, are sure you don't have any more milk?


10000013.jpg
Ozzy accidently posed for a split second

Obi & Dad


10000015.jpg
Mom! He knocked me over!


10000016.jpg
Snack time!


10000017.jpg
I thought I told you three to get lost...


10000018.jpg
My name is Ozzymandes, dale of dales. Look upon your stuff, you hoomans, and despair, 'cause I'm gonna eat it.


10000019.jpg
But then, sticks taste good, too...


10000021.jpg
Yeah, I'm blurry. But I'm cute...


10000022.jpg
And now I'm coming over there to get you


10000023.jpg
Or maybe I'll go over there for a while and rest first...


10000024.jpg
Better yet, I'll run the other way and find something to chew up.


10000025.jpg
Help! The giant is coming to grab us again! Run for it!


10000026.jpg
You'll never take us alive...


10000027.jpg
Hey, she was just heading for the swingset


10000028.jpg
Ozzy's favorite: a mouth full of pine straw. Yum!

Dad (Merlin) accidentally posing in the sun


10000030.jpg
OK, I posed. Now I gotta' run off on another superhero mission. Bye.


10000031.jpg
Circle up the wagons — they're coming for us real soon


10000032.jpg
Stop chewing on Hilda and help me find a good stick to chew on


10000033.jpg
Mommy Sarah says "Always eat all of your food. And everybody else's, too.


10000034.jpg
Ozzy (OK, ya' caught me)


10000035.jpg
But I'll never tell


10000036.jpg
But if I were any cuter, could you stand it?


10000037.jpg
Mom, I escaped from the giant. Now go bite her for me. OK?


10000038.jpg
Hey, that's my frizbee, and I want it back. Now!


10000039.jpg
Oooo! I got to keep it this time...


10000040.jpg
Mommy, make him give it back to me...
