Olive reminds me of the dog we had when I was a wee little boy. I think she was a terrier mix of some sort, but very similar in appearance. Suzie was one of the best dogs I ever had; very loving and loyal. Thanks for that warm trip down memory lane!
Mike it is so enjoyable to see a proud poppa!!!! I so wish others would treat I the little darlings like you do. Sadly that is not true. My husband and I seen a golden lab tied in the back of a truck cab and that poor thing was shaking like a leaf while they were driving up the road.
Thanks Julie! There are good (and bad) pet owners everywhere sadly..... We are empty nesters so this is our new "baby" so to speak. It's so fun watching them grow and discover new things each day.

Lol, we are empty nesters as well, and our one son is getting married next year and expecting us to fly to the Philippines for the wedding and my first comment was "but what are we going to do with Jesse and Bailey?" Needless to say that didn't go over too well.
See avatar. He is a handsome beast, but about 8 years older than the photo now. We have an adopted black lab now as well, but the spaniel is smarter and still top dog. He does his best to chase the rabbits and birds from the vines.
I have said it before and I will again. I believe there is a special level in Hell for people who mistreat animals. These are our "kids" and both were unwanted by their former owners. Gina, the Standard Poodle, was a mess physically, aesthetically and psychologically. She was terrified of men but loved both women and children. I can only imagine the mistreatment she suffered. It took a good two years before she began to trust me and would be in the same room with me. We have had her now for 8 years and she is a pure joy, a wonderful pet and is at my side at almost all times. Louie came to us as a puppy of about 6 months. Seems that the people who formerly had him did not realize that dogs barked and they could not tolerate the "all the noise." Louie is so lovable. Both have beds in our bedroom but every morning, Louie jumps up into our bed and snuggles against my back. And the icing on the cake is that they are the best of friends. By the way, that is "their chair" in our family room. We launder the throw on a regular basis and we have two of them which we alternate. They have the run of the house.
