Doggie Upate

I haven't posted any new pictures of our babies, but they are HUGE!
At ten months old Marvel is pushing 100 pounds. He had surgery on his hip in December and is doing very well, back to putting some weight on it even though he does a very fast three legged run. Maggie is smaller only about 80 pounds. She went with us to Grandma's house over the weekend. Poor thing was very carsick. We finally got her some dramamine and she seemed to do better.

Just a Thought

If I had posted that yesterday, everyone would have thought I was posting an April Fools joke.

Sadly, I'm not joking.

Going to the Dogs

The girls have begged for a dog for years and those of you who know me, know that I am NOT a dog person. It’s not that I dislike them, they just seem so “needy” to me. Give me a good ole independent cat any day.

Then there’s this strange thing about dogs and me…they seem to love me. Seriously, over the past 15 years or so, I don’t think I’ve met a dog that didn’t want to climb in my lap even if it weighed 100 pounds. Maybe it’s like the guy you ignore who considers you a challenge. I can’t figure out the attraction.

So the point of all this rambling is….WE’RE GETTING A DOG! And when I say dog, I mean a BIG dog…a German Shepherd.

All I can say that in a moment of weakness my family conspired against me, and I finally gave in and said when my Uncle & Aunt’s dog had puppies they could have one. It didn’t help that my they told the girls they could have one for free and I lost one of my arguing points. Of course now we have to build a fence. So much for free.




I must admit they're kinda cute in a doggy sorta way.
