Good-Byes

We have been out of contact with all of you for a while now because our minds are burdened and our hearts are heavy. Our old guy Bailey has taken a turn for the worst and we have made the most impossible decision that we are ever asked to make. I can give the prognosis and stats but really what does it matter? Many of you have been in my shoes before, maybe even more than once and you know that no matter what's going on with your best friend... you just know when it's time. Yet, it is still so unnatural, your heart is telling you to hold on, protect, don't give up, see them through. Your mind knows, and your heart fights you every step of the way. I ask all of you to pray. I know Bailey is going on before me and he will bound up, healthy and well, to meet me someday at the gates of heaven. So, when I ask for prayer I ask for me. He is going to be healed soon but my heart will be broken. I ask that you pray for some healing of a broken heart. I will miss him so much.

Bizkit the Sleep Walking Dog

POOOOOOR Bizkit!

A Mutt of What?

This guy... he's a stray that we found on Tuesday. We took care of him for a few days and found his owner yesterday. Sadly we were already in love with him by then and didn't want to let him go. So, I did what any dog lover would do.... I asked the owner if we could keep him. He said no, but when I offered some $$ he changed his mind and now he's ours! We immediately took him to the vet because he had never been and the vet said she believed him to be 4 months old. He weighed a MIGHTY 7lbs.! We named him Max and he is my sons BEST buddy. He's getting along really well with the other pups too and he is even happy to be in the crate, (probably because he was being kept outside before and was happy to be by the fire.) After a good flea bath and deworming he is settling in nicely. But the question for ya'll is.... what the heck is he??? I know there are DNA tests out there to help us know for sure but, what fun is that? Let me know what ya think. My guess... Pekingese/Pomeranian? Here's more shots to help with your analysis!

Casting Call...." Puplet"

What can I say... the kids are so dramatic. Perhaps summerstock is the best avenue for their talents... Ruby, Oliver and Bailey starring in Howllliam Shakespeare's, "Puplet!" The dashing Ruby as a young and tragic Dogphelia... Ruby feels as though she was born to play this roll. Not only can Ruby sit and speak on command... but as witnessed by these headshots... she is also very good at "playing dead." Of course Ruby has that starlet quality that is, well, undeniable. I'm just not sure how she will read the dialect of ye olde English... being of German descent... but did anyone ever question Marlena Deitrich? Verily I say nay!

Oliver as a young Puplet? When I asked if he would consider auditioning for the role he simply replied, "Alas poor Boneik... I knew him well!" (He also said not to worry about that scrape on his nose... he got it while practicing his fencing... and it will be cleared up in time for his close-up?!"

.... and Bailey as the great Danish ghost-king. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and it could be Bailey?

Do you think you could round out our cast? Send me your bow-wowditions and best doggie headshots, and we'll see if you're perfect for our production. P.S. No divas need apply... Ruby is enough diva for us all. Looking forward to seeing ya'll and composing our final cast soon.
