True Gratitude...

Puppy style

It's how you raise them...

…but to raise them properly you need to understand the breed.

The real facts on Pit Bulls

“Pit Bulls are very aggressive… about showing their affection.”

"It's true that Pit Bulls grab and hold on …But NOT your arm….your heart"

"When it comes to Pit Bulls… the beast is often the two-legged animal at the other end of the leash."

"The only thing vicious about my Pit Bull is his gas."

I asked God for a walking buddy and he gave me a Pit Bull. :)

The love bug and the land piranha

These boys could not be more different…and I’m not talking about their size.  Jebediah is 65 pounds of pure sweetness…a total love bug.  Binny Jr is…well one of my friends said it best…”3 pounds and 2 1/2 of it is teeth”.   Binny man has had a taste of every one of my friends and family. I’m the only one he has not bit…and I’m also probable the only one that loves him …LOL.   The biggest problem is he is so tiny and so cute everyone wants to touch him…and that's were always goes bad.  I need to make him a little sign that says. “Look but don’t touch”. Actually it wouldn’t help anyway because he loves the taste of ankles. When you’re not looking….he is like a land piranha and runs up on people…and chomp, chomp, chomp before they even know what hit them…he is such a little stinker. But like I said… I love him.


This photo of the Binster nestled in the crook of Daddy's arm is not the greatest but it gives you a good idea how tiny our land piranha is.

Here's an update on the pouty little puppy.

All shoes have gone into hiding.

Looks like somemore...

Monkey see Monkey do going on around here.

Having some family fun with my two favorite monkey's before taking the grandbaby off to camp.

   But not everyone is a happy camper …

No doubt...

However he really needs to get his eyes checked. The other day I asked him to go outside and inspect what the dogs were barking at... he informed me it was a poopy. My replay to that was “Why in the world would the dogs be barking at a turd?!” On closer inspection the turd started to walk...oh that’s why they are barking...it’s a walking turd...or this!

We interrupt this...

regularly scheduled Summer day...

AAAAHHHHH....I feel cooler just looking at that.

The Family Fido Tree

I love collecting vintage family photos that have our furry family members in them.

I also like to find fun uses for them …like these pictures I grouped together along with some vintage dog licenses we uncovered in a family members attic a few years back.

Recently I expanded my collection to "stuffed" family fidos because these are just too stinkin cute!

But one of our most exciting finds was that we were able to trace our “Family Fido Tree” all the way back to Grandma Moses!  

I know it is uncanny how much she looks like our Granddaughter and her dog…isn’t it!  ;)

Quite often the easiest family member to get along with is the dog.
