same old city with a different name...

last weekend jason and i went on our own little photoshoot.  we wanted to find some interesting old buildings or even better an abandoned old building and these spots were the best we could find.  we plan on going again and finding more cool places. we would have kept looking but it turned into quite the scary venture when gigi got attacked by three dogs.  we let her wander around while we were taking pictures and it seemed pretty safe cause we could see her and she couldn't go far.  next thing we knew we look over and couldn't see her.  we ran over to where she was at and she had squeezed underneath a locked fence with barbed wire at the top and three dogs were staring her down.  i then heard growling and there was a brawl with our little white pooch in the middle.  it was the scariest thing ever and i thought they were going to tear her to bits with us being helpless on the other side of the fence.  we started banging on the fence and yelling and luckily the dogs looked up and stopped.  gigi ran over to a hole in the fence and we quickly grabbed her out.  she managed to escaped with two bite marks and nothing major.  she has been pretty sore this past week and has been eating up all the attention shes been getting.  i think she has been playing it up because she's tired of being ignored over the puppy. :)  i am so happy that she was able to escape that with just some cuts and bruises.  despite that little incident we had a fun time on our adventure.

meet tarley

our new baby shih tzu!! we bought her at the beginning of december but were not able to take her home until new years eve.  the lady told us originally that we could take her home Christmas eve, but she wasn't ready so we had to wait an extra week.  we could hardly wait to take her home and so we visited her every week.  it was a long wait for us and we are so excited to have her home now!  she is such a perfect little puppy and so adorable!! i'll apologize in advance because i know she is going to consume this blog.  she is so freaking cute it's really hard not to show her off!
