Sophie turned one today and we had a party. I was surprised at how many people actually came. My sister, my niece, great nephew, great niece, my daughter, her friend with her husband and two kids. It was a blast. They even brought her presents. I don't think she was real impressed but she was so good. Usually when people are here she barks constantly but she didn't today. Her daddy says it's because she knows she is a big girl now. LOL It's so funny how crazy we can get over our four legged children. I know I get "silly" sometimes when it comes to Sophie and Roody but it's because I know how much they love me and it is totally unconditional. Poor Roody is getting sicker by the day and he still has the strengh to wag his tail and "smile" at me to let me know that he loves me. From the time he was little he has always slept on the right side of me, as close to me as he can. I tried to imagine last night what it would be like to not have him there and I can't even imagine. He had a very bad coughing spell last night and Sophie and I was on the couch next to him. When he wss done, she jumped down and brought her little purple elephant up on the couch, laid it beside him and hen climbed back on my lap. I swear to you, she wss bringing it to him. What a sweet heart.

Happy Birthday my little girl.

When I moved to a new house in November, to live alone for the first time ever, Maggie, my American Bulldog, moved with me. I had gotten her in July, anticipating the move and being a single adult. Maggie helped me through this difficult transition period in my life. After only a few weeks, Hank came to live with me and Maggie in December; Hank was rescued from a shelter but couldn't stay at the apartment complex with my daughter, who had rescued him from a shelter.

Then, in February I went with my neice for HER to look at JRT/Beagle mix puppies (I was not interested in small breed dogs at all). Nonetheless, I came home with BELLA, and she has convinced me that small dogs are also great pets! When I remarried in August, Abby came with my husband. Hank, who had been the male on my household, had to learn how to let KRF be the top male of the house. And, along with KRF came another American bulldog puppy, six week old Abbby. So, then there were four canines and two humans, until the following July, when we got Rat Terrier
K V, before he was sent to animal control.

We felt Bella needed a small dog to be her companion. We fostered numerous dogs for the next seven months, from overnight to six weeks. Then, we were asked to foster Frankie for the MLK weekend in January 2009-- he became our sixth (and final?) member of our canine 6-pack of dogs.
