I finally downloaded photos from my camera so I can now show pictures in this post.  Sorry it’s taken me so long, like most people I snap away with my digital camera never to really look at the photos for several months or years.  I did discover some happy dogs when I did finally look […]

My day starts with the whines of either Evie or Jackson. They sleep in our bedroom every night but they’re crated, otherwise they’d be dancing all over us and the bed all night long. I need my sleep. I slide out of our waterbed careful not to step on Big Shelby […]

I can’t believe it. Isaac’s gone. This afternoon, we decided that we couldn’t let Isaac deteriorate any further, knowing that it was our responsibility to do what’s right for him, regardless of our pain.
