The Pelhanks: First Time on Skates

Well, he did it. Brendan got on skates for the first time. It was only in our living room...but it's a start. He did pretty well for the first time, too.

Our Beagle

Another member of our family that we are also proud of is our beagle, Belle. Few people know that her papered name is Amanda's Christmas Belle. We got her 9 years ago from a breeder in Altus, Arkansas (yes, the home of the television show The Simple Life). As with all beagles, she is driven by hunger which sometimes leads her to do some naughty things (IE: eat a whole box of Hostess cupcakes from the kitchen table). And she thinks she is the boss of all other dogs: barking excessively anytime one is around. But aside from those tiny flaws she is a wonderful member of our family. She has mastered many commands including sit, stay, lay down, roll over, down, leave it, out, quit, fetch, get in your bed, etc. She gets along rather well with the boys, although she's getting to the age where she'd rather lay in her bed all day than exert the energy necessary to play with them.
