BBQ avec les chiens

You can count on Leslie to host a barbecue for a holiday weekend; Kobe, Derek and I loaded up and headed out to Lafayette to meet Emily & Brendan's newest addition, Brooklyn, as well as the rest of the gang. There was plenty of puppy play, volleyball, and croquet for all to enjoy!

And the perfect puppy photographer award goes to... Dawn! Perfect puppy photography attention-getter award goes to... Derek! Perfect puppy photograph stars are cousins Roxie & Kobe, with the newest addition to the family, Brooklyn.

Dogs & People! Photography award goes to Brianna Poley!

Aww, they like each other, they really like each other!
(Or, they really like that toy...)

Brendan winning an exciting game of croquet, as evidenced by Emma's apparent emotion. Yes, see, we did things besides just play with the pups -- we just didn't take many pictures of them, because let's face it, dogs are cuter! (Featured behinds of Emma and Katie, with sideshots of Paul and Brendan)
