Yay! I'm so proud of myself for recognizing that she's a silky!!! I actually learned something from watching dog shows!!! Actually, the silky REALLY caught my eye as I was looking at the small dogs as one I found really appealing!!

Just when you think they've done every cute thing possible under the sun...... Last night I was grumbling about the snow, and Mom had sort of a "so what, isn't it all shoveled by now?" attitude. So I got her up out of her chair and got her over to the front door and opened it so she could look out and see for herself (our windows aren't really situated well to see out of clearly). As Mom started back to her chair, Bomba got in front of her and looked back at her with a big grin, and a "follow me" look on his face. It was clear he was saying, "that's nothing, come and look out this way into my back yard!" So Mom went and looked, as he went out into the yard a few feet to "show her." It was so cute! Since we usually are at Sis's house for Christmas, he usually doesn't experience a room full of presents. Mom's presents were strewn around in front of her chair, where he was laying. He thought that was pretty neat, and got into the act. I'm not sure if he's claiming this one for his own, or if he's saying, "open this one next Grandma!"

Kellie hasn't touched her presents since Kit left on Christmas Eve! But oh boy(!) on Christmas Eve, you would have thought she was guarding Fort Knox with Kit in the house!!! Here's her little "nephew" in his Christmas card photo.

Hey All! Anybody in the Portland area that might be missing a dog? Amazing that this sweet looking guy somehow managed to squeeze his way on to the bus. In my town, they would have been shaking "Buster" by his boot-paws, trying to empty his pockets in order to collect the fare!

I just checked our local media to see if 'Buster's' owners have been found. Nothing yet.

Awwwwwww Maggie is so cute and that picture is adorable Scoot!!! I can just see the "thought bubbles" above....... I don't really have this pink thing on my head, they're just making it look that way.... really, I'm just sitting in front of it! LOL Funny thing about Kit's Christmas photo: He doesn't really have antlers on him. One of them held a stuffed animal behind his head! Cheaters! LOL I saw a bunch of "misfires" before they got a good one. haha

I love all the photo's, they just show us how human they are with each having a different personality. Kit's should be sent into a pet magazine, that is adorable, and Maggie I just want to hold her all day. By looking at Roxy I can't ever imagine her getting into trouble, I mean look at her just sitting there so proud and behave. We had a beagle when I was growing up that belonged to the neighbor's.Its name was Sammy and he would go to all the neighbor's house's at meal time. All of us got note's asking us not to feed Sammy anymore as his belly was almost on the ground.

I'm L-O-V-I-N-G all the puppy pics! Too cute for words! Thanks OG for trying to check out Buster's status!!! I googled him later, but wasn't able to pull up this video of the surveillance tape. Personally, I wonder if someone wasn't able to keep him (i.e., apt lease wouldn't allow, had to move home to Mom&Dad) and they figured a nice rich bus driver with a good paying job might be looking for a pet-with-a-little-bit-o-pit. Obviously, with all the publicity, I'm sure people will be clamoring to adopt ol' Buster if they can't find the owner.

Looks like Buster was bound and determined to stay on that bus. I think he'll be up for adoption this weekend. He is supposedly about 6 months old. He'll no doubt get a good home.

I get emails from Mountain Wings daily. Thought this was just so sweet: ------------------------------------------------ MountainWings A MountainWings Moment #7016 Wings Over The Mountains of Life ------------------------------------------------- Why Dogs Don’t Live As Long As People ====================================== Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year- old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very much attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good the four-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why." Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long." Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. ~Author Unknown~
