Our Turner Life

Miggy

Well, if our family isn’t crazy enough we decided to add one more thing to the equation.  Miggy.

Isn’t she the sweetest?  She is a four month old doberman pinscher.  Now when you get a puppy you never know what you are going to get.  We looked into the breed and saw that they are very intelligent and great with families but in the end you can’t pick the personality of your dog.  So I prepared myself for the worst.  And what we got was the sweetest dog with an amazing temperament.

This morning I took the girls and Miggy for a walk.  Needless to say I had my hands full… so Margo took full control of the camera.

Of course Thelma wanted it immediately.  Fortunately for Margo, this one is easily distracted.

The problem with taking a walk with Thelma is that she never really goes in one direction.  This way, that way… and then plops herself down in the dirt.

Margo changes her photographic approach with a self portrait.  Very nice.

Then she gets into some nature shots here.  I love how green everything is with the rainy season.

I would also like to point out that while she is taking these photos I am chasing Thelma around, trying to stop her from going in puddles, and touching barbed wire fences while Miggy tries to walk the opposite way.  I am sure we are quite comical to watch.

Miggy.

Stop for a photo shoot.  Margo took about a dozen photos of Miggy and I.

We had to move aside for “traffic.”  I am impressed with this shot!

So, we have one more family member.  It is a good thing Matthew doesn’t mind being surrounded by women!

(Who can guess where the name “Miggy” came from?)

  1. Margo clearly has a career in photography waiting for her.

    Miggy….someone could say mickey?

  2. Beautiful photo’s perhaps we can hire Margo as a photographer when we expand into Costa Rica! Miggy is too cute!

  3. Aww Miggy is adorable!
    Also your hair is getting quite long eh missy?

  4. I saw Miggy on skype. She is a sweet pup for sure. When I told Margo that I like how she was taking great care of her sister she said “Which one Ant Loo-weez?” Small cause for pause, and then I realize that Miggy is truly a family member.

    Margo reports that she poos & pees outside and that she cuddles with her and Thelma.

    I love Margo’s pics & Thelma’s creative way of going for a walk.
    She favours discovery over distance.

  5. Thanks everyone for the feedback! i love hearing from you guys. So Miggy is short for Matt’s favourtie Detroit Tiger player Miguel Cabrera!

    And erika….I don’t remember the last time my hair has been this long! But I NEVER wear it down. HOT HOT HOT!
