My dogs are my passion. I have two. A rather odd mix. I have a beagle mix called Lucy. (I am quite the Charles Schultz fan). My second dog is a bichon. I was hoping for another female and her name would be Sally. But, it's a boy, and his name is Linus. Frankly, I should have named himPigpen. His "sister", Lucy, loves to roll him in the dirt. And he is very happy there with his big smiling face.
Tonight we took them both over to our neighbors' house. They have 2 black lab mixes. Our other neighbor brought her 3 over. Her latest is a 3 month old jack russell mix named BeBe. She should definitely sleep well tonight! We all got tired just watching them from inside the house. BeBe ran and ran and ran. She also kicked up alot of dust on the other dogs.
To me, it just doesn't get much better than this. The pleasure I get from watching and playing with my dogs is what life is all about. Can you even imagine a life so simple? You get to sleep when you want, someone takes care of your food for you, they take you for long walks and you get to sniff all sorts of things. All you have to do is love them and protect them by a bark when you hear a stray cat in your yard in the middle of the night.
Aaahhh. The life of a dog.

Ok, I'll try to get some pictures of them out there soon.
Ron, I knew who you were. I read Tom's blog regularly, and follow yours pretty closely, also.
I have an older friend who I was conversing with this past Friday. He made a bold, and in many ways true statement. "If I knew years ago dogs would bring this much joy and love, I would have never had kids." I don't agree fully, but the passion for his three mini Westies is what dogs are all about
