Breathing new life into our hearts...

Dooley - almost 13 years old and still going strong. She is not sure what to think about these two punks we brought into her world. She is the sweetest dog ever and we love her dearly. She has certainly wondered what happened to Boo and Taz, and still looks for Taz in all the places Taz spent so much time. It has been hard to watch her these past few weeks, but hopefully we are helping to fill the void left by the loss of her two dear friends.

Tuxdeo a/k/a Tux - 4 pounds of nothing but personality.. 4 months old. We thought he would cry and fuss once he brought him to his new home Saturday, but he fits right in. He follows me around wherever I go and loves to play outside. I am not sure he had ever been outside before we got him. The breeder we bought him from lives in Alabama and has a room completely dedicated to raising dogs, and they all had play areas inside and were trained to potty on a pad. It was hard to pick one, but his personality stood out from the rest. He is a perfect fit in our family.



Coco - 2 pounds of pure joy! Eight months old and loves to cuddle, but can certainly stand up to bigger dogs if she needs too.. and they do back off. She has lost her puppy hair and is in the beginning stages of getting her coat again. She is very tiny. We got her from a breeder in California and she was worried about her flying into a colder climate, so she made her a sweater out of an old sock. We have tried to find her a dog sweater, but even an x-small is way too big for her. So, I bought her some pretty socks so we could at least make her look stylish.


We are still coping with the loss of Taz and Boo, but these two new additions to our family are helping a lot. And, one more is on the way. She is flying in from Michigan and the temp has to be above 10 degrees before she can be shipped and that has not happened in several days. This week is looking better. She is five years old and a recently retired show dog. I am sad about her leaving her family of five years, but am really looking forward to having a friend for Dooley that is not a puppy. Her name is Dream and we are leaving it at that. Pictures coming soon!
