The Hatchers got to visit us... back in our apartment! Look at Roxie.....traitor. Of course, we took them to Mueller State Park. And Garden of the Gods.   Or "GOT-G!" as Michael says. They then headed on to Rocky Mountain National Park, etc. We just so enjoyed their time with us. :)

Here is the final summary of our kitchen remodel. Before - Kitchen Before - Wet Bar Setting up camera for recording for montage Demo Time! Paint Time! My Office! Storage! Daily Entertainment... with usual result. Electricians & Cabinetry Getting there... Countertops & Appliances IN! ALL DONE! Just the cabinets, appliances, countertop, backsplash, sink, ceiling fan, electrical, plumbing, and painting *whew!*

They get more hilarious, every day. :) And then there was the day Roxie got groomed. We're still not a huge fan of the bows, but she didn't mind. :) And now some new vids!  First, some play-time clips... And then proof of potty-training progress!  GOOD GIRL!!

So they keep getting more and more cute! They've met Liz, and are fascinated... Plus, it's pretty much Heaven around their new place    -- MUCH better than any shelter! And Ben is "kinda" getting the hang of "Puppy Play".  :)

They're doing Amazingly well, together!  Ben might just thinks he's a dog, like Roxie. And here's some cuteness, after the long day...  :)

With the loss of Elsie, we decided to embark on our plan (discussed, often) of getting a Dog AND cat, together. So.... meet Big Ben! He's a  Maine Coon , about 7 years old.  He's the sweetest, biggest thing! And here is Roxie! She is a Poodle-mix, about 1 year old. She's high-energy... and wanting to play with Ben! :S Here is one of the 1st standoffs.... And here is where how things stand. We'll see in time, if they become friends...  :)

Today, we headed to raft at Noah's Ark , in Buena Vista.  It was awesome! We're on the board! No water camera, so this is the best I could get of the river. The professional's pic!
