This week Ada is visiting her littermate Teddy. Here’s a little video we got from Teddy’s family:
Apparently they do this all day long.

Cap’n Ada
Ada didn’t have a Halloween costume this year. (I don’t think she was very disappointed.) But I did take these snaps of her playing dress-up (ok, me playing dress-up) at our friend Craig’s birthday party a few weeks ago.
Aww, she almost looks like she likes it.

Muppet
Ada has a new friend at work.
Muppet, the poodle with an awesome pink mohawk.
I can’t help but wonder how Ada would look with a similar dye-job.

Snow Pup
An unseasonal snowstorm in Seattle meant Ada got to play in the snow for the first time over Thanksgiving.
I expected her to dislike it since she hates getting wet.
But to my surprise, she loved it.

Ada the Ripper (and Tearer)
I’ve mentioned Ada’s destructo-tendencies once or twice before. It’s probably a bit harsh to compare her to a serial killer*, but a serial toy destroyer she certainly is!
Here we find a common scene:
What was once a favorite toy lays now abandoned, dismembered and gutted.
Ada appears remorseful of her destructive actions.
Maybe not. "Nommy toy guts... Mmmmmm."
* To my knowledge, the only living thing she ever killed was a tiny spider. And I’m not even sure if it was really dead or just playing dead.

Best Dog Toy Ever
I never would have recognized this as the best dog toy ever before I had a dog.
And it's only $5! Woo!
It may look silly, but this here is the best toy because it is all Ada’s favorite toys in one. It is a tug rope, a tennis ball, and a rattle*. She plays tug with it; she plays fetch with it; and she plays shake-the-living-daylights-out-of-it.
* Technically ours doesn’t have a rattle anymore because Ada tore open the head and ripped it out (earning her the nickname Zombie Dog). But it’s a much quieter toy now so we’re not really upset about it.
