Comet's Girlfriend

Our neighbors got a new puppy a few weeks ago. Izzy is a gorgeous little (but growing like a weed!) black lab.

When they first brought her home, she was extremely intimidated by my crazy dogs... Lizzie (yes, it's a tad bit confusing that their names are so similar!) because she's evil and barks like a maniac... Comet because he's HUGE.

But, Izzy's growing up fast, and she and Comet have recently become pals.

So, every evening, my neighbor and I take the dogs out in the yard for a Doggy Playdate (i.e., a couple of hours for the dogs to wrestle and run around and completely wear each other out so that they sleep like rocks for us the rest of the night!).

Poor Lizzie just can't hang with the big dogs. She usually spends our playdates locked in her crate, in the house, barking like a maniac. She's way too spastic for her own good (little dogs are just annoying, bless her little evil heart!).

Here are a couple of pics of Comet and Izzy from this evening. Unfortunately, my camera battery died as soon as I snapped these two, and they aren't the greatest. Really, it's quite difficult to get a GOOD pic of two dogs rolling around on top of each other. But, I can assure you that in real life, it's friggin' adorable!
