No one can snuggle or smooch downstairs without Annabelle literally hurling herself between you and licking like crazy. She also enjoys combing and chewing on hair from above.

Photos: Sleeping angels

Hayley came down and curled up on the couch while I was working on some tricky code. I looked over and found Annabelle asleep parallel to her, which her puppy arm draped across Hayley. When I got up, Annabelle moved to put her head on her elbow. Complete cute overload! read more →
