Remember Marshmallow Puppy-The Christmas labradoodle fuzzball?

Remember Marshmallow puppy? She is 6 months old now, and 42 pounds! She weighs more than our two little boys, and almost as much as her “mommy”, Maggie. Maggie is a tiny 9 yr old and Marshmallow pulls her on their walks. Maggie loves this puppy though, and is already plotting puppies for Marshmallow....NO! We may be crazy but we do have our limits. We are not venturing to puppies in this crazy family. We do love this sweet puppy though. She has quickly become a member of our family. As my new brother in law so kindly put it on a recent visit... "this is the perfect dog for this family". He said this as 2 of our wild boys were trying to give Marshmallow her first swimming lesson in our pool. Anthony was trying to pull her and Alexander trying to push her into the pool, and Marshmallow was running circles, grabbing everyone's shoes, drinks, clothing, along the way. She does add to our circus, but she is perfect for us.

Marshmallow and Ben
...She and Ben are like 2 peas in a pod. The other day, my friend Clare came over for some girl talk which was way overdue, and Ben, for some unknown reason came into the living room with a roll of toilet paper and gave it to Clare. When I asked why, he said “she needs toilet paper”. I guess it is good she is a good friend. We laughed and went on with our talk. It was not long, before Marshmallow snuck up and grabbed the toilet paper, and had it strewn across the house. Ben was still concerned that Clare needed that toilet paper, so he went off to find another roll. Marshmallow attempted to take this one too, but thankfully, I was not too engrossed in my girl talk to intercept this roll. Marshmallow and Ben… amazing partners in crime -- what goes through their mind is pretty funny.
