My how they grow up....

My baby is now a senior in high school. We took this picture when he was about 3 years old. It's my favorite picture of him....see the Barney T-shirt under his cowboy outfit? He LOVED Barney.....he'd never admit it now. And recently....we took his senior picture. He shopped for his outfit and put himself together. He's cool. Almost too cool for me.....I'm proud of the man he's becoming. He knows himself well and is a talented artist.:)

Doggies!

It's been waaaaay to long since I've posted and so many things have happened, I guess I'd better catch up.
We had to put our wonderful companion Omar down in June. Omar got sick very suddenly (Lymphoma) and we needed to put him out of his pain. We all miss him very much.
We decided we couldn't have a quiet house for very long and came up (accidentally) on a Adoption fair. They had the cutest little boxer puppy.....and next thing Vegas became ours! He's adorable and slobbery and just a love. He wants to please so very much and doesn't know how much of a knock over he can be!
We had him for about 3 weeks and I always knew I'd eventually get another dog. We didn't want him to be lonely and thought a companion would do the trick. With Omar, we weren't able to bring him around other dogs (he wasn't social at all and wouldn't learn!!). I live in a house with ALL BOYS and wanted a girl. A CUTIE PATOOTIE little girl! Without even looking for her, we ran into the family we adopted Vegas from and they had this beautiful little Bishon Frise that they found wandering the streets! I had to wait two weeks til they made sure no one was looking for her and got to adopt her! That process was very long, drawn out and heartbreaking but in the end....I got my leetle gurl....PARIS.
