It's Tala Day! Tala has been the most entertaining member of our family for two years.
Here are some pictures, chronological for the most part.
The first photo is the one that started it all. About a year after we lost Buster, we decided we were ready to adopt another dog. At work, we would each look at dogs for adoption on Petfinder and email pictures to each other. But because we knew we were moving, we decided to hold off for a few months. ... But Laura kept looking.
One day she emailed me a link; subject line: "Where is Churchville, New York?" I took one look and replied: "I don't know, but that's where we're going!" Here are the pictures that stole our hearts.
Churchville turned out to be near Rochester, in Western New York - and we were going to be passing by on our US Thanksgiving road trip. We brought her a Maple Leaf bandana as a present. [L Update: these pics were taken at Husky Savers, the amazing Husky Rescue home in Churchville.]
We moved after New Year's, went to the Ice Hotel for our 20th anniversary, then brought Tala home at the end of the month.

Thanks to L's new phone, we now have video capability. We haven't gotten anything really great yet, but we'll post a bunch of videos sooner or later.

Happy Tala Day! She is certainly adorable. I hope you all have a great day.
Yay, Happy Tala Day! We love Tala pctures, she is so expressive. :)
It's been a lot of fun watching Tala's progress over the past two years. She did great at High Park on New Year's!
More Tala photos here.
Vintage Flapper to the Rescue, you are still here! I'm honoured.
Thanks, James! (We were posting at the same time.)
It's been great fun watching your family grow, too. Denim tops all of them for sheer energy and hilarity.
It turns out we accidentally missed a pic we wanted in here, so if you've looked through the pics, look again. Check out Tala's head through the fence - from the other side. :)

You should see her when we're driving to the beach. She tries so hard to contain herself that we're not sure if the high-pitched noise is her whining or if it's steam escaping her ears.
When the snow is gone, we'll have you four over to the beach with our gang.
I have a feeling that videos of Tala and the hose will be a huge hit this summer.

Definitely!
We love High Park, and it's kind of halfway between our place and yours.

Oh yes...!
I added a link to Husky Savers in the post - the great folks who were fostering Tala.
How cute, thanks so much!
Happy Tala day! Very cute. Gotta love those ears.
Happy, happy, happy day Tala!
Oh, Tala? Yes, we believe we have met her at some point. She may have made some impression on us at the time.
It's hard to say, because there was this whitish blur jumping around Cody, and then moving in the direction of a thrown ball. Hard to say, yes.
Thank you everyone. :)
I see Cornelia has succumbed! Not only to non-resister posts, but to dog posts! My evil spell is working... bwwahahahah...
TALA
The magic spell is that your blog is so interesting and covers so many different areas! I will check out kitties next time, haha...
And Happy Tala Day, Laura!
Ha ha, well, I'm allergic to cats, so no kitty pics here. But thanks for checking out the dog pictures!
Obamicon! That's weird.
