When ~

WHEN
we find our White American Bulldog:
if it's a boy, he'll wear khakis and we'll call him Gene, even tho
his real name is Wallace...

If she's girley,
I suppose there will just be more pink around here.
We already have a "princess",
so we'll have to think of another name.

I haven't had a cat in so long that when we found this,
we had to post....and watch him with his boxes!
You'll laugh, we promise

Nice Human

(ok, she was one of the most beautiful woman in the world.. but frankly,
those silver streaks remind me of Cruella DeVille - hmmm)

The Best things in life aren't THINGS

* * * * *
Human's simply don't get it.

It's not about stuffed toys
or fancy collars
or mink-lined doggie beds.
Nope.
Waste of money.

The best things in life are free:
a Squirrel to chase
a fence to scale over
and a CAT.
Throw in a bucket and a stick....

..and all is right in the world.

* * * * *

Signs

* * * * *

yeah...right...

A Dog

* * * * *

"Tis pity not to have a dog,
for at the long day's end,
The man or boy will know the joy,
Of welcome from a friend.
And whether he be rich or poor,
Or much of little bring,
The dog will mark his step and bark,
As if he were a King.
Though gossips whisper now and then,
Of faults they plainly see,
And some may sneer, from year to year,
My dog stays true to me.
He's glad to follow where I go,
And though I win or fail,
His love for me he'll let me see,
By wagging his tail.
Now if I were to list the friends
Of mine in smiles and tears,
Tho through and through are staunch and and true,
And constant down the years,
In spite of all my many faults,
Which critics catalog, Deserving blame,
I'd have to name My ever-faithful dog.
"Tis pity not to have a dog,
Whatever be his breed,
for Dogs possess a faithfulness,
Which humans sadly need.
And whether skies be blue or gray,
Good luck or ill attend,
Man's toil by day, a dog will stay,
His ever-constant friend.......

Dog Heros of September 11th

Nice Human

One handsome "daddy" -
and a honkin lap-top!!!

and let's not ignore the pretty neck-warming kitty!

Max Bellamy

* * * * *

If you "blog" long enough, you find certain blogs that speak to your
heart; your humor; your IQ level

Such is the case of Marilyn Bellamy and her blog,
Nag On The Lake

Marilyn is in Canada - I in Michigan
yet over time we've become "blog buds",
commenting on each other's facebook posts...and a
'mutual admiration society' formed.

Marilyn's gardens are immense and magazine/tour worthy!
She gave permission when I saw this in one of her albums
that I could post on our dog blog.

This is "Max in the Garden"

I love this picture of this handsome boy in this awesome garden.

Marilyn commented that "Max was the best dog ever".

It shows.

Labor Day Dog Adoption Events

* * * * *
IF
you find yourself at an adoption event this weekend
just make a mental note:
Dudes wearing Superman Capes....:

they can start dancing without advanced warning.

We just wanted to offer this safety announcement.

Happy Long (walks/swim/naps in sun/squirrel chasing/bucket throwing) Weekend

Friend from Camp

* * * * *

Every now and then we thought we should
post a picture of a friend
that we spend the day with at Camp.

It's ok...you can smile at him.
