Well that was just about the hardest thing I’ve ever done.  How is it that an animal buries itself so deeply into your heart and soul.  He was my best buddy in the world.  Not seeing him waiting in th

Oliver left us last night. He waited until I got home from the field, brought him to bed, snuggled him, and tucked him in. Then he left. I could sense for the past 10 days that he was saying goodby

Had to say goodbye to one of my best friends of the last 14 years today. Her name was Avery. At 8 weeks old she was left tied up in front of my future father in law's vet clinic. Freshly out of c

So lost our last blonde Scottie passed 2months ago. 
We have always had at least 2 dogs since we’ve been married. 
 

We “thought” we would wait till I had vacation time with new job before looking for new. 
Did not work. I put closure in doggie door and wife pulls it out and says it’s just not right. 
 

We’ve decided no more pure breeds cause of health issues. Start sending out requests and dammed if small terrier’s mixes are hottest thing on market. 
Adopt a scared 10 month old mix and also hoped to get his brother. Brother got adopted so that is a no go. He is now sitting in wife’s lap and throwing his chew toy around. 26 years of 2 dogs minimum and no dogs just isn’t right. 

Bad thing is rescue we adopted from keeps sending me texts “hey what about this dog”. 
I might get a little upset but damn if foster dog parents aren’t doing the greatest job ever. 
 

Wife has suggested we “foster” and I say no.  You can’t expect crack addicts to go cold turkey.

Nice dogs.  Surly and the rest of the internet appreciate you posting a pic of your old lady’s behind.  
 

Keep up the good work.

Looking after a dog named Waffles. Trying to convince them to get a second dog and name it Chicken. 

I wanted to name our dog Cheese so we could get another named Mac.  Wife vetoed that.  Our 2 Newfies (Bruce and Pepper) should have been named Shrek and Fiona.  Would have been perfect for them.  They're gross and I love them.

Today we had to say goodbye to the best dog I’ve ever known. I loved her more than probably I did myself in my early 20s. She was a 14 year old bad ass. I know it was time and the end wasn’t fun but I can’t believe how much today hurt. She is now with her sister. I know she is floating the River eating ice cream. We came to Port A for one last trip and she decided this was her final resting place. She loved it here.

Having grown up in Corpus, Port A was a good second home and I know she rests easy.  You did good and she is free to enjoy time with her sister while waiting for you to join them someday.

Yeah, those two aren't wanting for anything, but Penny, the basset mix, will tell you otherwise. 

Basset hounds play the overly sensitive "whoa is me" card like no other dog.

ZoZo has joined the family.  It was a long drive home from Charlotte but she's here now.  The old lady in the first photo is a saint who's been fostering Giant Schnauzer rescues for over 40 years.

And she made herself right at home.  This 15 month old girl is one bundle of endless energy.  She stayed in this pose about 10 seconds.  Her two weeks of board and train are coming up sooner than later.

Tough duty LJ but she knew you loved her like she loved you. She and the sis will be waiting for you on the other side, so you might be throwing a ball for eternity. To me the worst part is coming home to the emptiness, the lack of a tag jangling, the feet padding in the floor. Makes the hole in the heart worse.
