Love and a glass of wine

One of my best friends was having a very bad day today. He's too far away for me to give him a hug or be of any help. So, I promised him that after I got home from work, I would get myself a glass of wine and offer up a toast to him at 10 pm EST. He's promised to do the same. See, his dog is pretty sick and may not last the week. All he can do is be of comfort to the dog and help her cross over when her time comes. I know General will be here waiting to greet her and show her around.

Love sure hurts sometimes. But we would never know how good love feels if we do not risk the hurt too. And we know in these cases that those who leave us never really stop loving us, and we never stop loving them.

Please join us if you can for that glass of wine.

Salute, Bello! Godspeed, Nikki

broken howlers

Evidence of our broken howlers. Shiloh, the full husky, is sadly the best wounded baby harp seal of the bunch. Guinness is usually the best howler, but not in her best form here. Misty gave it a good shot.

Garden & Knittin Report

Helloo everypuppy. Mommy has been neglecting her garden & knitting reports. So we feel the need to do them for her.

Here is the first evidence of butternut squash! We like squash, so we're happy to see this happen.

There is also the first green pepper, growing very nicely. We don't like those, but mom & dad eat them a lot, so we'll let them grow.

There are tomatoes and herbs too. Mommy and Daddy eat lots of those. Mommy needs lots of tomatoes in order o survive, she says, cuz she's Italian.

The japaense eggplant didn't do as well as the other plants - that's okay with us, cuz we don't like eggplant.

Mom's knitting projects are going slowly along. She's been concentrating on the Harry Potter Scarf for her program at work. It's a good thing children are small - hee hee! This is why she doesn't like doing projects for deadlines. We puppies get in the way too often. It's our job to remind her that we are her first priority.

Dads and Fishin

Dad n Grandpup went fishin this mornin while Mom slept in. We helped mom sleep in too.

We pups didn't wanna go fishin, so we arranged for these two "game wardens" to be sure that their equipment passed inspection and had there licenses.

No fish or foal were actually harmed during this excursion, just bait and pride.

Dogs & the 4th don't mix

We've always said that the 4th of July was not our favorite holiday - it just hasn't ever mixed well with dogs.

Okay, this was a set-up. Daddy couldn't resist when Mom was takin silly belly pictures of Misty. And she just laid there - co-operating.

And fortunately, it rained most of today & tonight, so no big boomies outside. Yea, it ruins the holiday for some, but it makes it a nicer experience for all of us.

We hope all of you had a good day without too many boomies.

Our dog park visit

We went to the dog park this weekend! It was a lot of fun and we got to meet loads of fun. Here's Shiloh, making sure there is a welcoming committee at the gate.




Here's Misty, warming up her kisser to make sure that any humans are well met too.

It was a bewootiful day, but now we're all tuckered out!
