No Time For Laugh Dr. Jones

First, a formal apology for the lack of posts for the past months. The Stiles' family has been busy. Between working lots of hours, selling the Mini (still a tough subject), looking at lots of houses, deciding to build a house, deciding against building a house, getting ready to move into a new apartment, wishing we didn't have to do the actual moving of apartments, getting really excited for Mckae and Nates wedding, being super pumped for little bro Collin to play college soccer in Cheyenne, WY, trying to figure out travel plans all over the mid-west to attend those soccer games, writing posts about my wonderful cuz Rob, having a wonderful pregnant sister ( kiddo#4) and a wonder pregnant sister-in-law (kiddo #3) seeing lots and lots of midnight movies and solid summer flicks, becoming painting extraordinaires when it comes to random pieces of furniture, becoming Handy Manny's when it comes to sprucing up your house, busy with the NBA finals, having another visit to the vet for one of the turtles, watching So You Think You Can Dance and loving every second of it, eating better, working out, losing weight, wishing we could go to Italy, Ireland or Hawaii, spending lots of time at Hokulia Shave Ice and becoming snow cone maker extrodinaires (Clint and Stef's new WONDERFUL shave ice place * see star below), and finally, having a new addition to our little clan...

Let me formally apologize for the not so great quality of pictures. All these two Stiles' managed to think of was to bring our phones, so pictures are courtesy of IPhone.

And now introducing D. Howard Stiles: He will simply be known as Howard.

Here is our new little guy. Howard is a black male Great Dane. (Here is where you insert your joke about it not being a dog, but a horse - not to hurt anybody's feelings, but yes, we have heard that one before...so yeah if we laugh, it is a courtesy laugh.) Howard is the oldest of his 6 brothers and sisters. He has 3 brothers and 3 sisters. He has white on all four of his paws and a little bit on his chest. He also has these beautiful almost tiger like stripes down his fur on his back, which we hope stays because it will be absolutely beautiful. Hard to believe that something so small will grow so quick.

Here is Howard's mom who is a 2 year old beautiful fawn great dane. She has some of the softest fur I have ever felt. She is 32 inches tall and weighs 125 pounds.

And here is Pops. Dad is obviously black and has the same white patch on his chest and paws. Dad's name is "Moose" and he is 35 inches tall and 185 pounds. Big boy, however one of the sweetest dogs you'll meet.
Welcome Howard. We promise to get you a great cushy bed and lots of yummy food to keep your big tummy full.

Sorry for the long post, it is long overdue, so I guess I felt it necessary to try and explain everything in one post. Thank you, Thank you for reading.


*Ever had a snow-cone in hawaii with the amazing flavors and ice cream in the middle? Well that is what Hokulia Shave Ice is, and if you would like more details on where or anything about it, let me know.

Karissa-
Canyon Road right by where the pizza pipeline used to be, or down south a little more from where Dairy Queen is now. It's a bright blue and pink barn kind of thing. SOOOO yumm!

That is so awesome that you got a dog! We just got a puppy about a month ago, and he is so fun. I love Great Danes...big dogs, but so sweet!
