Roxci and Lexci

Took the dogs to the vet today. Roxci weighs 50 pounds and Lexci 70 pounds. Jackie wanted one 20 pound dog to replace Ladi, the dog we lost 2 years ago. She did not count having 120 pounds instead. We love them though. I need to spend more time with to train them, but my work gets so hectic that i can't seem to find the energy to do much after I get home.

Finally a new post

I am finally getting back to posting. I let too many things get in the way and have been pretty lazy. A lot has happened since last year. We got two new puppies who are now over a year old. I got a new Harley. We went to Walt Disney World on vacation and to my niece's wedding. Our business had a really good year and we have been blessed beyond measure. I going to stop right there for now and catch up more later.

Losing A Friend

I haven't mentioned it before, but we lost our best friend a couple of months ago. Lady Di was our Chow Chow and we had 12 and a half wonderful years together. She was suffering from severe arthritis and hearing loss and poor eyesight at the end. We couldn't stand to see her suffer any longer. I was working out of town and Jackie called me sobbing. Lady was dragging herself around the yard, whimpering and crying. She called the vet and brought her to the hospital. Everyone there said Goodbye. I cried over the phone.

We still are not over grieving and I haven't been able to bury her ashes yet. I still want to have her around for a while. We have been looking for a new friend, but we are looking in a shelter or rescue home instead of a pet shop or breeder. I have bought Mark Levin's book , Rescuing Sprite, for my wife as a Christmas present. I hope she can read it without getting too upset. After she reads it, I'll try.

I rescued a kitten from a New Orleans Park last February and he has grown up into a fiesty little one-eyed fury. His name is Tyler and he is black and only has one eye. The vet said the other eye was gouged either accidentally or on purpose. I hope it was an accident. Anyway, it has not stopped him from being a hunter. He is amazing at catching dragon flies and lizards. He has to have his early morning ear rub before I can leave every day. When he gets enough he starts biting my hand and scraping my arm with his back feet. For the most part he helps us keep our mind off of Lady.
