Jabulani

The dog has been driving us nuts lately. A few months after we moved flats, she suddenly decided that she needs to bark... at everything. The birds, the gardner (who Lani has NEVER barked at in her life), the neighbors walking by, cars, us... you name it, she barks at it. Therein lays the issue we've had with her. She's woken the kids up from naps with her ruckus, not to mention added to the chaotic noise that is our house. There have been more than a few days when I just want to ship her off to the nearest animal shelter (and still might, don't get me wrong) but then, she has her moments of GLORY with the kids.
Em loves making an "Emme sandwich" between Daddy and Lani !!!
She was only a few weeks old when she came home and Em wasn't even walking, so the very idea of Lani doing more than licking someone to death is absolutely unbelievable. Lani's favorite thing in the world is chasing her tail, and Em's favorite thing is the world is reminding Lani that her tail is back there, just waiting to be chased. They crack me up, and now, Cooper wants in on the action, which is hysterical because his favorite thing to do is "pet" the dog's nose, which generally translates to a finger or two getting stuck up her nose, and then Lani sneezes said finger out, to Cooper's delight and surprise.
I got your foot! I got your foot! (Cooper LOVES this as he's the most ticklish person on the planet, and his feet are his weakest point! Lani LOVES to exploit it to the fullest extent as well.)
Lani come to bed with Emme?!

Look at the picture of Lani in the "sandwich picture." It's as if the poor dog is saying . .
"You wouldn't believe what I put up with!"

Once again, adorable smiles of Emme! She one pretty little gal!!
