Meet the family!

(Well, hello there!)

I'll have to admit, I've been going a bit overboard with the Instagram pics lately. Honestly, I've always loved these filter styles, and it's one of those amazing feats of technology that I can take photos that look like this on an iPhone.

Anywho...these are the some random shots around the house with the our two little ones. Well...one's little, and the other's rather...medium-sized. For those that haven't had the "pleasure" of meeting our two rambunctious bundles of fur, their names are Bindi and Camilla. Camilla is the elder of our two little ladies. She's a 2 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi that's...well, full of life. Actually, she's pretty much bats hit crazy 80% of the time, but I love her anyways. She's actually the first pet I've ever owned, so she'll always occupy a special place in my heart. If you've ever met a Corgi, you'd understand that the only people in the world that think they're small is...well everyone else in the world. In their eyes they're definitely top dog, and Camilla's no exception.

Bindi's the younger of the two lasses, and she's a miniature Australian Shepherd. I didn't even know there was such a thing, to be honest. We rescued her from an animal shelter in Dalton, and have loved her every single second we've had her. I actually didn't even plan on getting another dog for awhile after we got Camilla, but Beth's persuasive nature struck again! So after getting home from work at around midnight, I was informed that we'd be making the roughly 6 hour trek from the 'Boro up to Dalton to meet this puppy. All we had seen of her was face picture on an ad in the AJC. But honestly, that's pretty much all it took. She's definitely the more gregarious of the two...and shall we say...um...clumsy. But all the more lovable.

(I love how Camilla doesn't even budge,
but just gives you that "why are you waking me up so early?" look)

I snuck into the kitchen one morning to nab a pic of the sleeping babes, but I accidentally startled them awake. I was trying to capture one of the more hilarious phenomenons in dog ownership I've experienced.   One of the funnier things about PWC's is the fact that they tend to sleep in *extremely* odd positions. Camilla's favorite seems to be on her back, but she does sleep on her side like this from time to time. Thing is, when we adopted Bindi, she usually slept in the more traditional curled up in a ball/fetal position type of way. But after a few weeks of spending time as roommates next to each other like this, I walked in on Bindi and Camilla in the same exact weird Corgi sleeping posture, and I thought it was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. Ever since then, they've actually begun to completely mirror each other's posture when they're sleeping in their kennels, which has made for some hilarious photo ops.

(Ol' Bindi being a sweetheart)

Kinda embarrassed at the amount of clutter that's on our coffee table there. But, as you can see by the Pathophysiology textbook there, nursing school tends to do that to a couple...well, I guess more to the apartment, but nevertheless. Spring cleaning's gonna be a bitch.

(Corgi's gonna Corg, dawg)

I swear even for a dog, Camilla's pretty photogenic. When you see her like this, it's hard to imagine she can be pure Hell on wheels. But yeah...looks can be deceiving for sure.

(Bindi's B-day, and my beautiful Beth) 

(After a night of studying med term,
this dopey little face definitely makes it hard to be mad)

Hope you enjoyed meeting the little furry ones. They definitely enjoy meeting everyone. And I mean that, they literally try to chase down and lick every person that walks/bikes/drives/runs/scooters/whateverodddowntownaugustathing by on Broad St.
