remembering Chester

Jon and Chester at our first house.

as a little pup

he really hated seeing Santa....

I loved putting him in sweaters....again, he didn't love it so much.

here we are on the road with Jon...he always liked to help with paperwork.

I love this "family pic" I took of the 3 of us.

again, torturing the poor boy for our own amusement.

this is my absolute favorite pic - he loved to play ball.

It's hard to believe, but it's been a year since we lost our Chester. I miss that little dog so much - he had so much personality, and I don't care what anyone says, he really could understand everything I said to him. I hope you enjoyed these pics as much as I loved going back thru them and thinking about him. I have him in a great little jar (with fleur de lis - thanks Coleen!) on my fireplace mantel...he always loved hanging out with me watching tv...and I have the cute pic of him playing ball in there and a gumball and his collar, and an awesome printout that Coleen gave me - "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". Hard to do sometimes, but it is getting easier to smile when I think of him.

spring is here?

The annual springtime pictures in the bluebonnets...but it was a little on the chilly side, very overcast, and kind of wet. Not the perfect conditions for pictures of my girls in the flowers, but I knew I had better take them while I could. So, here they are...my pretty girls, being sweet sisters. These are the days I love the best!

Cassidy's story of Maks and Chloe

Jason and Karen have a cute little miniature schnauzer named Chloe, and we have quite the love triangle going on with her and my pups - she loves Maks, Dan loves her, Maks doesn't really like either one of them! haha Cassidy wrote this fabulous story about them:

"One day, CRASH! The whole town has been wrecked by a tornado! Can no one save this town?

Maks! The weather on the news is a tornado! said Chloe. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and shut up your smart mouth! Let's go! They went to the big city and saw Maggie, Dan and Chester. What's up? asked Chester. Nothing, what's up with Maggie? asked Chloe. She's sick said Dan. Ok, we'll help said Maks. He went and healed Maggie. And here's the problem, she wouldn't stop hugging that guy.

Let's go Maks said Chloe.

The end!"
