where did December go???

We've been a little lazy lately and realized that the entire month of December has nearly passed and we didn't say hello. We'll just fill this page with some photos from the month.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. We've been spoiled, and the new year is looking pretty promising for all of us.

We wish you good health, warm hearts and happiness in 2011!

dogs will be dogs

We had a fun weekend with visits from all of the girls and going through some old photos. Had to share this picture of Andre, our first Frenchie, and Nakita, the first Siberian. They set the trend.

Halloween was a blast

Oh my goodness, little witches and goblins and costumes I did not recognize rang the door bell and asked for trick or treats. I thought they meant kisses, but apparently they wanted something mom was giving out. Anyway, this was my first Halloween in North Carolina and it was a ton of fun. Mom and Mistie carved pumpkins and i had a little fresh pumpkin snack. I shared it with Chilly and Deuce of course.

Then Mistie called for me to have pictures taken with mom. You know how much I love that. When the pictures were said and done I spent some time helping decorate the front porch. Mom says spilling water on the porch isn't decorating, but she doesn't know how much fun it is to chill the feet in the drinking dish.

Mom was telling me about a write up on petfinder wherein an English [bulldog] admits to enjoyin' having a butt rub. You know Deuce and I love some of that action too, but mom said it wasn't politically correct to say that out loud. What was she thinking????? Petfinder is on the internet where thousands can read about butt rubs. Ohhhhh I like the thought. I'm going go ask mom for some attention right now.

C-ya later

Jack "Captain Jack" to you

Fall 2010

Here we are having some fun at home.

Tootles...

Deuce

Sweater weather this a.m.

This morning we woke to some cool temps. It wasn't freezing or anything but you know mom, anything below 70 is cold. This morning it was near 45 went we went out to play and when mom dressed Chilly in her sweatshirt, Deuce and I were jelous so we asked, politely, for our too.

Welcome fall.

Jack

Time for a sit down.... again

Mom came in and sat us all down for the "talk" again....we know that she loves us to pieces and she plays with us and has fun pampering us, but she still feels we need another member of the family....we were told today she put her hand in the air to rescue a female English bulldog from a puppy mill. We are all for taking a girl out of the environment of making puppies for some person trying to make a living on the backs of dogs, but don't we fill mom with enough joy and happiness???

No, that's okay, really. We are three and wresting will be more fun if we have 4!!! Keep your fingers crossed that mom's dream of owning an English will come true!

deuce, chilly and Jack

Quiet around here

You can't believe how quiet a house can become when you have five dogs. Down sizing from 7 has made a huge difference.

It has been a few weeks since Xander moved out with Alex and the reports are good. Xander has traveled to Mt. Airy and proved to be a fine gentleman on his best behavior. Aunt Jane reports he did well at her place and Alex is so proud of him in the apartment. Apparently no more signs of trapping roommates in the bedroom.

Uma also went to her forever home in August and the initial reports are positive from Maryland as well. Uma's been give a "sun room" to bask in during the day and is loving life being a spoiled little princess.

Deuce, Chilly and Jack have adapted well to the new changes in the house. Nakita and Lucas have more space in the kitchen to spread out and play in the water bowl.

Life is good here in New Bern, North Carolina. Hope it is where you are too!!!
