Stinky...

My dogs have bad gas. I swear Maggie has been trying to asphyxiate me over the last 3 days. They have enjoyed the sun this week.

Happy Holidays!



Happy Ho-ho-holidays Everyone,

2009 has been busy for us. We continue to do well at work and are thankful that we have remained gainfully employed during this depressed economy. We are also grateful for our health, family, friends, furry children and each other.

This year many wonderful organizations have been hit hard and yet the demand for services to help others have increased. If you can, consider giving gifts in honor of your loved ones to a charity that you or they find special in lieu of crazy presents like camouflage toilet paper.

We wish you and yours a very happy holiday and send you best wishes for a prosperous New Year.

Balloon Fun & A Platypus

We went to an Oktoberfest event at Capital Ale House and they had a balloon lady. We thought it would be fun to ask her to make a greyhound and a white rabbit. She obliged and said it was her first ever greyhound request. Here is her website: Balloon Entertainment
I just noticed little Opal's glowing eyes in the bottom of the picture, ha-ha.

Baron says, "hmmmm this looks familiar." No balloons were choked on or consumed during the taking of this picture.

Our handsome boy.

Our platypus impersonator. Maggie was caught eating grass and leaves. She is looking very guilty.... she is always guilty.

Summer Days

Our pups love the summer time. Sometimes I wonder if Baron and Kix wish they were back in the Florida heat; sometimes I have to coax them in the house. Today was about 92 or so at our house and they wanted to be outside on the deck. Humidity wasn't too bad so that made it more bareable.

Baron has the sweetest eyes.

Maggie has to be front and center.

Kix says "Air conditioning is for wimps."

These two pics, below, were taken by Aunt Alice at the family reunion. Everyone loved our pups.


I just saw on the Virginia Greyhound Adoption (VAGA) blog that Kix decided to be in someone else's adoption picture. Who is the attention hog now?
