Love the pics! Seems like we haven't seen Finnegan in a while, and it is great to see him again. And I love, love, love Chewy and Pepito!!! Both are so very cute. Does Chewy's ear always stick up?

Yes Slinky, ever since she was a pup her one ear is allways up..the other one allways lays down... I got her in front of a safeway store, not meaning to get a pup..but she was alone in a box and the little boy that was with her just sat there asking people if they wanted a pup.. I asked him alittle about her and he told me what she was and then he said.."my dad told me if I dont get rid of her today hes going to kill her", this was just a 8/9 yr old kid and I thought woa,...are you kidden.. then he told me his dad was mad cause another dog got his dog PG and I figured he must of had a purebread or somthing and thats why he was so mad. The little boy said his dad was really mean to the pups(there were 3) so he was trying to find homes....at first I thought I didnt need a pup right then, we had just bought a home and were in the process of moving in. Then I thought,"why not"..ive got a fenced yard and alot of love so I turned around and scooped her up..... Thats chewys story. .... (Pepitos story) I work crisis work for DV and on a call one day I showed up at a home, about 13people liven in a 2 bed apt. alot of drug issues and police calls for DV, I was sitting there talking to the mom,her pregnant daughter and watching her little 2yr old daughter carrying around this teenie tiny pup, all of 1 lb, throwing it on the ground,pick it up and then doing it again..My heart was breaking cause I knew this pup didnt have a chance..I asked if I could hold it and it just shivered and nestled in my neck and I fell in love just like that... I was getting ready to leave and told the mom that just in case it didnt work out with the pup that id love to have it... Not thinking id ever hear from them again.. the next day the mom called and told me if I meant it to come get it now, befor her family got home, she was just going to tell them it got loose or somthing.. but she confessed to me that in her heart she knew that pup didnt have a chance in heck, she said if it stayed with them it would be dead within the month... I thought to myself,"what have I got myself into" but drove over there with in the hour and she handed him to me and he cuddled into my neck and hes been my little boy ever since... I think eather one of my dogs would be dead if not with me. They have become my kids...

Oh, Chewy, I just knew you had rescued them, but those stories blew me away. You are a very special human being and I totally agree with Ophiliasgrandma!

Chewpito what a wonderful story. And then to think Chewy saved you from an attacker. That really grabs my heart. Maris I loved the pet video!

Bomba was pretty cute the other day. I had to wait up for the cable guy to come and find out why I couldn't stay connected to the internet. Scheduled time was to be here between 2 and 4 pm. Since Mom didn't go to bed till almost 8, and I still had to vacuum and tidy up, I just stayed up to wait. So, I went upstairs with an armload of stuff to take to my room, and Bomba was there "in bed" (laying on his blankie on the floor alongside my bed). He raised up and looked at me, and got the funniest surprised look on his face. Sort of like, "what the heck? Where did you come from? I thought you were in bed?" Then he got the most embarrassed look on his face, like he just couldn't believe he'd gone upstairs to bed and assumed I was already in bed. For the past two nights now, Bomba has laid down just at the base of the landing to the stairs, blocking it so I have to step over him to get to the first step. I'm sure he's making sure he'll know if I go upstairs or not! Silly boy!

Rest in Peace, Sweet Babydog. Kylie died very suddenly yesterday from a seizure/heart attack. I was holding her. She was eight years old (going on two!), and so full of life and love. We miss her beyond words and are absolutely devastasted.

Kylie Oh no, I'm so sorry for your loss. She's just beautiful and that knot in the tree looks like a heart. Was she the doggie in that picture with the two cats on top of the cat house?

Thank you Calamity. We took that pic in June while hiking in the woods. We too thought it looked like a heart, so we asked her to pose by it.

I'm sorry Babyruth. No time is good but that was much too soon and sudden. It's so nice though for her that you were with her.

Babyruth, I am picturing Boomer and Kylie meeting up and dancing around green meadows. I see little animal friends beckoning from forests and creeks. And I know both Kylie (and Boomer) will be waiting in that place for the time when you and Who will be reunited with your lovies.
