Megan and Maycie

Two little human angels and one 4 legged angel who thinks of himself as a furry guardian. He is so curious and gentle with the babies. He likes just being near them. Until they cry. lol He looks at me like "what's wrong? Can't you fix it?"

Happy Forth Of July

These are my boys....watching "fireworks". :) I thought they were so cute looking into the night. Rocko is on the right, Tyson on the left. The only difference is Tyson is 20 lbs and Rocko 14. And of course personalities.


Rocko is the verbal one, very affectionate and playful. He's an instigator, but wants his brother to come too. Tyson is a healer of wounds...spiritual, emotional and every other kind of wound. He lays by anyone needing him, and looks into their eyes. When Sue was going through a bad time, he would sit in her lap, lean his head back on her chest, and just look into her eyes. When my grandaughter was here and sick, he wouldn't leave the bed until she'd fall asleep. He's one of those very special dogs. Don't tell Rocko I said that. :)

I love them both the same.:)

Meet Kim, Tyson and Rocko.

This is my daughter, Kim, and my furry friends and companions, Tyson and Rocko. They are almost 3.

My grandaughter named them. I'd never choose to name these guys names like Tyson and Rocko. She named Rocko after "Rocko's Modern Life" and Tyson was named after a pair of pajama bottoms her mom had....with little white dogs and the name "Tyson". I gave in.

Actually I wanted their mom, and found her at the shelter. She was pregnant though I didn't know that. She was such a darling, and had been abused by a terrible breeder, breeding her year after year. She had her pups in her brand new whelping box built by Kim's husband, Paul, and behind my rocker sheltered with a blanket. She was so fearful of anyone but Kim and I. She never did get used to my family, and after the pups were weaned, and she only got more fearful and I was afraid she'd bite the grandkids (who had learned to stay far away from her) I had to find her a new home. I cried. I know she did too. We had her spayed so she would never have to go through that again and started looking for a forever home for her. The home I found had a picture of a dog over their fireplace. She looked exactly like Amy. I knew it was the right place. I still think of her. The woman who took her called me to say she was the best dog they've ever had.

I didn't want to keep boy dogs. haha I wanted to keep one of the little girls. But my granddaughter fell in love with Rocko The Brave and Mr Tyson With The Magnificant Tail chose us. Now I can never imagine choosing any other but these two. We found homes for 3 little girls.

They are a part of my family and two of my very best friends. They love Sue as they do me. They think of Kim as another mom. Their sweet presence, silly and playful, or times of looking deep in my eyes and speaking with their hearts, have blessed me so much. They are entertainment and they are my soft place.

Pet's complete humans, I think.

Oh, yes...and I love my sweet daughter, Kim, too. lol

Tyson

My grandson, Kaleb is staying here tonight. We picked him up not too long after the UPS man brought my new camera (love that man in the brown uniform).

I was playing around with the camera, trying different settings, reading the manual, etc. Kaleb kept wanting to take a picture. I kept putting him off. He's only 6. I gave him many reasons it might not be a good picture, explaining about the focus, how you need to rest your finger on this button right here....push it just halfway...see when the picture is really clear, in focus, and then and only then....you snap the picture. Oh, yes. I had to show him how to hold it too.

I put the strap around his neck, didn't want him to drop my new camera. He pointed it at Tyson, snapped the picture and said, "There, I think I got it."

I think he got it too. This is Tyson. :)
