A little of this, a little of that

Just a few photos of recent events...

And lastly, a little shopping (not even Maggie related...shocking, I know!)

This one's for Liz P.

SO, those of you with good memories, or those of you who are just now joining us in the present time, may remember this post where I mentioned that I'd miss the friendly reminders in San Francisco to not throw crabs down the storm drains. As luck would have it on my daily walks with Maggie I've noticed that here in Austin we have similar signs reminding us to not litter frogs. As if I would throw away a perfectly good frog.

But anyway, with all of the changes we've got going on here in Daigleworld it's nice to have some of these transitions eased up a little.


And while I can't imagine that all of that isn't incredibly interesting to everyone, here's a little peek at what Maggie has been up to, just in case the drainage sign material isn't doing it for you...

But don't ya'll get tired of taking so many photos of your dog?

We probably would, if it was all up to us...


In all fairness, cousin Teacup was being photoed here as well. And who can argue with the results*?

A million photos of Maggie (cont.)

40 photos was deemed too many for one post, so here we are with part II. Christmas vacation continued with a quick stop in Dallas to introduce Maggie to the Box family, where we were greeted with this fantastic sign from Lillian:



Snoozing with cousin Teacup







We took a quick break to successfully pick up a china cabinet from Mema's house, which is only interesting if you were a part of the 10,000 hours of discussing the plan prior to putting it into action


Back in Austin for New Years





















And a quick growth update. Maggie weighed 4.5lbs at her first vet visit on December 20, and as of January 10 was up to 6.5lbs

Here she is at about 10 weeks:


And at 12 weeks:

Introducing Lanbur Top of the Mark Mary Margaret, aka Maggie Daigle! Little Maggie was born on October 14, 2010 and came to live with us on December 17. She certainly made for an exciting holiday season and we are having so much fun with her, in spite of the chewing, housebreaking (or lack thereof) and overall craziness that comes with a beagle puppy. Albeit the cutest beagle puppy ever:

Meeting Maggie for the first time

We fed her some kibbles right away so she'd like us!
