Happy 9th Birthday Boys!

It's Bum & Will's birthday today! Not much celebrating going on as Bumble is not feeling well. I think he ingested plastic again and it's stuck. Fingers cross that it passes and we can celebrate another day.

Here's a picture of Will taking care of his brother hoping he'll feel better.

Thankful for Life

"No matter how good or bad you think life is, wake up each day and be thankful for life.  Someone somewhere else is fighting to survive."  -Unknown

Smooth Ride

“Pets are our seat belts on the emotional roller coaster of life--they can be trusted, they keep us safe, and they sure do smooth out the ride.”
― Nick Trout

A Dog Name

Sometimes the dog becomes their name.

Gorgeous

Expression

-->

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”
― Ansel Adams

Gorgeous

Reasons

“There are many reasons why so many of us choose to share our lives with a pet--it's the perfect antidote for loneliness, providing an endless supply of smiles and the certainty of unwavering companionship, and many of us have seen the way a pet can make a family feel whole.”
― Nick Trout,

 

Art & Soul

Art is not in the ...eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist.”
― Seth Godin

Handsome

Paw Prints

“People leave imprints on our lives, shaping who we become in much the same way that a symbol is pressed into the page of a book to tell you who it comes from. Dogs, however, leave paw prints on our lives and our souls, which are as unique as fingerprints in every way.”
― Ashly Lorenzana

Gorgeous

Heart

"A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.”
― John Grogan

 

Beauty

"To love beauty is to see light". -Victor Hugo

Another Gorgeous day!

Leaving a trail

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I have a Dream." - MLKjr

“No dreamer is ever too small; no dream is ever too big.” – Anonymous

Handsome's dream came true! Looks like he found a Texas size stick!

24 Dog Hike!

Yesterday, I met up with my friends for a hike at Sister Grove Park and we ended up with a total of 24 dogs!  Beautiful day out as we were out there for about 2 1/2 hours.  

It was funny seeing everyone trying to get their dog's to stay... mine knew the routine.  As the pictures below show not all wanted to stick around for the photo shoot!

Here's a photo of 19 of the dogs!

Here's a photo of 15!

BF3 Awards Banquet

This past Sunday, Best Friend's Fun Farm had their awards banquet where they recognize first Q's and champion's.  Along with that is a gift swap, food and drinks!

Last year in April, Gorgeous received her Agility Dog Championship title.  It was my only goal I had for her, so it was a thrill when we finally did it. 

Here I'm with my friend and instructor Elizabeth Evans.

I was excited when I saw Gorgie's ribbon hanging waiting to be presented!

Here I am with all the other champions!

Gifts ready to be swapped and swapped again! 

This is what I came home with!  Handsome approves!

Waiting

"Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day."

-John Grogan

Wisdom

Wisdom... bark loudly and carry a big stick!

"If you only walk on sunny days, you will never reach your destination." -Paulo Coelho

Pure Joy...

A Handsome and a Gorgeous dog wanted back in the picture... so I let them!

Hangover Burger

I met my folks out for dinner at Fudruckers in McKinney and completely enjoyed it.  I ordered the Hangover burger and it was awesome.  Having an egg on top of a burger is perfect for someone who isn't sure if you want breakfast or dinner.  I would definitely order it again.  

I also topped the burger off with some chocolate chip and sugar cookies.  This is my kind of place!
