Its me! For those of you that dont know I have a tendency to rescue dogs. Actually a lot of times they just kinda cross my path and I cant help but save them from certain death. The first one was my sweet Bonnie. Bonnie joined our family of Mike, Laura, Tatum, Sage and Angel back in early 2009. June of 2009 Angel our family dog of 11 years died from lung cancer. She was a heavy second hand smoker. Anyway Bonny helped me through some really tough stuff. We were not in a habit of keeping strays, but Bonny made me giggle. She was so feisty, and a lot of the time seemed to be the only one who understood me. I know...sad right? Anyway when we found her it was raining, and icky and she was dirty, and wet. I looked at Mike and said with my eyes only that we had to rescue that little dog. Her hair was matted, and nasty, and we had no clue to what kind of dog she was. We brought her home that night and cleaned her and trimmed her. She turned out to be a westie. January of 2010 we had come home from a hockey game and my sweet Bonnie had left us as quietly as she came into our lives. I think I will see her in heaven. Anyway since then little white dogs have kept coming into my life. The first one was a little girl who became my moms dog after searching for her home, with no success. Her name is Taffy. She is a white Schnauzer. Mom keeps her cut like a westie though, and it makes me miss my Bonnie. Then the other day a white poodle walked up to Mike and said hello then walked right into the house. I was able to find his home, and right before that there was a weenie dog...who was adopted through ACS. Anyway...I dont know why but they keep finding me. This last week we had 4 dogs in our house. We have two now...Sage, and Tilly, and we were watching Taffy (moms dog) and Sophie ( and Airedale that belongs to one of by besties who is on vacation) If that wasn't enough I also had my moms birds. Yes, she is a bird person, and I am okay with that. I love that she is query enough to have birds to keep her house full of noise. Shes not one of those creepy bird people that lets the birds eat out of her mouth....yucky yuck.

A better picture of Tilly. She is our bloodhound, who puts up with all of the kids pulling, and is Mikes best friend. The one to the right is Sophie... The Airedale we are watching for our friends..well a picture of a dog like her. She is much prettier, and more plump.
I also have a vegi garden. Mike built it, and the vegis have come. We have tomaders, cucumbers, jalapenos, corn, carrots, and they are all thriving because of all the awesome fertilizer all the visitors have left.. Thanks Dogs...you Rock!! Thus I am the love child of Farmer Jane and Dr. Doolittle |
