King

Here’s a pic of King, the 10 ft. tall ferocious (in his own mind) pomeranian.

“Multi-Cultural” Dog

Huey is my “multi-cultural” dog and is one of the best out there. I wouldn’t dare offend her by calling her a Mutt or a Mixed-Breed so I use the PC term “multi-cultural” very sarcastically. It usually gets a laugh after people ask me what kind of dog she is. She’s named after the helicopter as I brought her home from the animal shelter while I was waiting to learn to fly the UH-1 at Ft. Rucker in Alabama. “Apache” just wouldn’t work very well and I was already pushing it by naming a female dog “Huey.”

Being in the Army I obviously travel quite frequently. Huey knows very well that when I break out the suitcases that it means that I will be leaving…again. Her mood swings and she usually mopes around the house. This was apparent as I prepared to leave for Iraq last year. During the weeks and months leading up to our departure she was very much aware that something was not right and the mood around the house was somber.

When I would call home, my wife would put me on speaker phone to talk to our girls and Huey’s ear’s would perk up and she would listen intently. My wife would tell me this on the phone and it would brighten my day. It was also nice to know that I had a little canine buddy keeping watch over my wife and two girls while I was on the other side of the world.

I came home in July and seeing Huey’s little tail wag back and forth as fast as it could possible go was incredible. I couldn’t ask for a better dog.

Sweetpea

This is my Sweetpea :) She is 4 years old today. On our last election day, I had to say goodbye to my precious Lucky, another black cocker spaniel. I just could not get passed her leaving me and my friends got together and got me Sweetpea as a gift. She is now my new ‘best friend in the world’ who was brought to me with such kindness and love.

Our Little Poochie, Ella

We adopted our little poochie, Ella, from a shelter in November, 2005. She’s a yellow lab and a hyper bundle of joy!

We’re not sure if she’s a Democrat or a Republican. She likes taking handouts (T-Bonz and such), but she always pulls to the Right! Ha! Whichever, she’s our poochie and we love her!

Lucy

This picture is of throwing the ball for Lucy in our front yard. If she could choose the picture, I think she would choose this because she so much loves catching the ball.

Lucy surprised us one day. She was tired of her current toy. She walked across the room put back the toy she had and chose another toy from the toy bin.

Lucy is 12 years old. Of course, she is the sweetest and smartest of any animal or human. We occassionally think that she is getting old and we may not have her around any more. Immediately, we push that out of our mind.

I’m glad we are able to share our thoughts about Lucy.

Your Dog

He is your friend, your partner, your defender – your dog.

You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours,
faithful and true to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. – Anonymous

I use this on every email that I send from work or home…thought I would share with you…have a blessed day..
