First Grooming of the Year


Hi everyone. It has been a great start to the New Year. This was our first grooming of the year. We had a great time checking in and gossiping with all our friends. What happens at the spa stays at the spa.


I needed a nap when I got home. It was exhausting.

Happy Halloween


Happy Halloween everyone.

We have been absent for a good cause. We are helping Mom help some family with homeschooling via Skype. Mom started doing read alouds via Skype for some younger relatives who are home schooled this summer and it keeps her kind of busy. While one child went back to a Charter school in the fall she still reads to two kids every day. Over the summer we read about the American Revolution, Ancient Egypt, and the Middle Ages. We also got to hear some awesome fictional stories. We are becoming very educated dogs. This fall we've been learning our grammar listening to School House Rock Grammar. We've also developed a taste for poetry. We like Jack Prelutsky and Shel Silverstein over the more traditional poetry favored by the kids' program, but Mom manages to slip all of them in there so we are getting a variety.

As for Halloween we never know quite what to make of a holiday that has people constantly ringing our doorbells, demanding candy, wanting to pet us, and then leaving only to have another group come up and do the same thing. It is all rather confusing and some what disturbing.

Hope you all have a peaceful and Happy Halloween.

Katy's 8th Gotcha Day!!!


We made Mom prepost mine when she posted Annie's so she wouldn't forget.

Now Katy how could I forget you my little Sheltie Princess. You were such a special delight when we picked you up all those Labor Day weekends ago. Bailey wasn't sure what to make of the situation until he knew you were leaving with us. Annie has thought the sun rose and set with you since she first met you. You are one special girl and we love you very much. We feel very blessed that you came to us from Sheltie Rescue.

Happy 2nd Gotcha Day Annie!!!


We seem to drop off the map in the summer but we weren't going to miss Annie's gotcha day again like Mom did last year. You have been such a blessing dear Baby Girl. We can't how lonely we would be if you hadn't come into our lives when you did. Every day you remind us just how blessed we are to have you.

Friday Flowers: Dahlias


Mom loves these big pink flowers and the bees seem to be attracted to them as well. The bees make getting the pictures all the more challenging.

Purple Iris



These bloomed back in May and are one of Mom's favorite flowers. They are especially important to her as they were part of Dog's Dad's Uncle's garden. He harvested several perennials to help us get our garden started when Dog Dad and Mom moved here. He has since passed on but every year when they come up Mom says it is the best memorial to a wonderful man.
