My sweet Jack

I just felt like I wanted to post some pics of my completely handsome boy Jack.  He has had a rough week with the addition of Gus into our lives. He has been through a lot and I think he feels a little unloved. Trust me, he is not unloved. He makes my life worth living.  He is so sweet and such a good dog.  I am so thankful for him.

He is such a handsome boy

Just about to sneeze when I caught this shot

I love his paws

He can't keep his eyes open due to the flash.  Cracks me up

He is the best dog on earth

I love this boy

My sweet dog.  What a great boy

Jack and Gus

The new brothers have an absolute blast playing together!

They love to wrestle

Sometimes it looks like we have a dog-fighting ring at our house, but they are just playing and have a total blast

You can see they love each other

I don't know why it always looks like Jack is the mean one! :)

Cute boys begging for my dinner. Nope, I'm not sharing

Meet Gus!

Meet Gus!  He is my new foster dog and Jack's new younger brother until he finds a forever home.  We couldn't help but spring into action when we heard that Gus (who is a one and a half year old lab mix) had been tied to a tree his whole life and was currently outside in (-) 12 degree temps with minimal shelter.  So, we went and picked him up.

He has been a great dog!  It has not all been perfect.  The first couple days, he had some food aggression problems toward Jack, but now they can eat together without any issues.

He really is a handsome boy

What a cutie.  He will be even better looking when he puts some weight on his bones.  He was not fed or watered regularly and you can see his ribs.

So incredibly sweet!

Gus absolutely loves the rawhide bones!

A new pup

So, I went and picked up a dog today who needed to be fostered.  There was some trouble in paradise.  He had some food aggression problems today and attacked Jack several times.  Jack is a very docile dog and instead of fighting back, went and hid under the table.

Or hid on Heather's lap on my chair

Or just sat on the chair himself and absolutely would NOT get off

Cutest, sweetest, most gutless dog ever!

Meet Gus, the cute little trouble maker. More blogs to follow.

Merry Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas at my parents house this year.  I absolutely love this time of year.  It makes me so incredibly happy!

Snowshoeing Adventures!

My nephew Carter, Jack, and I went snowshoeing.  It was so incredibly much fun!  We had a complete blast!  It was a gorgeous day and we had a good time getting some much needed exercise

Jack absolutely loves the snow! It makes him so happy

Funny action shot of the boy

It was lightly snowing, but sooo beautiful up here in Eden

Jack found some deer that he was desperate to chase.  Thank heavens he is very obedient or else we may have had a dog vs deer fight on our hands

I love it here

I was ROBBED!!!

This was an unfortunate situation all around.  I guess you live and learn!  I had worked a night shift and come home and gone to bed. Several hours later, I received a phone call from chase for a fraud alert.  Thank heavens for chase fraud alerts!  I went out to my car and found that the window had been broken and my GPS stolen.  I had accidently left my wallet in the glove box for literally the first time ever!!  Well, that was the day that someone decided to rob me!  They got my wallet, all my credit cards, gift cards, work certification cards and my drivers license.  Not to mention my wallet that I had bought while on vacation.

They used almost $3000 on my debit and credit cards!  Bugs me so bad!  The little $!@&*#&.  People who steal irritate me more than anything else on earth!  Get a life!  Get a job!!  Quit ruining our lives!!  There little spree has cost me hundreds of dollars that I will never get back.  Good people suffer because of the selfishness of others.  Makes me so incredibly mad!
