We are SOOO totally innocent!

Who'd Have Thunk...

I never would have believed that our 3 now black and grey tiger stripped kittens started out this way, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. They almost looked like little rats, when they were first born. I believe they were about a week old in the picture below.

Bear, One of the Most Friendly Dogs EVER!!

Below are 2 pictures of Bear, my crazy, 2 year old Schipperke. I believe he is the happiest dog that I've ever owned (and that's a lot of dogs folks!). He loves everyone he meets and all the animals he meets too. There's not an agressive bone in his body. He just loves to be a "Love Sponge". It's great to have such a wonderful dog.

Going Greyhound

These are the pictures of the last time I attended the Greyhound meet and greet in Nashville on September 4th. This event is hosted by The Greyhound Pets of America-Nashville rescue group. They are such beautiful, sweet dogs. I wish I could just take one home with me.

Another sweetie!

Strange Days at the Sonic...

I made the bottom picture, one day a couple of weeks ago. Lola, who is (let's be honest) a little overweight, decided that she liked Slate's, my chihuahua's bed. The top picture was made in Nolensville, TN at the local Sonic drive up. I was munching on my chilli dog and looked over to see the cutest little chihuahua. Looks like he just drove up and started to order.

You see the strangest customers at Sonic these days..... 

This is what happens when a fat, cocker-spaniel claims a chihuahua's bed.....Lola enjoying Slate's bed. 

The Newest Members of the Family

Back in April, we decided to take in a stray female cat. We'd always had 3 cats in the house and needed one more to complete our magic number. Little did we know that come May 1st, our cat total would double. Seems the stray was "with kitten" and adorned our household with 3 additional little cuties. We now have Mon Amie, the Mama Cat, and her kittens Mr. Perkins, Phoebe, and Nala.

Vacation in Pictures

Below are some of the pictures that Casey and I took on our vacation to Florida. Most are from Daytona, but a few are from Orlando. Be sure to visit my main blog, Richardson Zoo.
