We're For Dogs...

I am in love with the Pedigree Campaign, "Dogs Rule". Right now they are accepting photographs of your dogs and donations for dogs without homes. It's called the "Million Dog Mosaic". So in honor of this campaign, I will donate $10 for every person who leaves me a comment telling me why dogs rule!!We're for dogs who "nose" through the trash when we're not looking.

We're for 80 lb. chocolate labs who think they're lap dogs.

We're for dogs who help with the yard work!

We're for dogs who play until they pass out!!!

We're for yellow dogs that love to swim!!!

We're for cuddly moments when this is the only friend you need in the world.

We're for dog birthday parties, dog biscuits, rides in the car, sloppy kisses, and gnawed on shoes. We're for dogs and all the love they bring to our lives.

Middle of the Night People and The Backyard Party Animals

At 3 a.m. last night, you were probably snuggled up warm and cozy in your bed.
At 3 a.m. last night quiet snow was quickly filling our yards, roofs and streets.
At 3 a.m. last night your furnace was kicking on to ward off the chill of a winter storm.
At 3 a.m. last night I woke up with 6 dog eyes glowing at me in the dark.
At 3 a.m. last night I let three long-legged labradors out for a potty "party" break.
At 3 a.m. last night my dogs were racing around the backyard like it was 70 and sunny.
At 3 a.m. last night I decided since I was already up, to grab my camera.
At 3 a.m. last night I found out my neighbors don't appreciate flash photography at 3 a.m.
At 3 a.m. last night I ate ice cream in front of the open freezer door and no one cared.
At 3 a.m. last night I called the only other person awake at this hour, Justin!
At 3 a.m. last night as we were talking, I realized that Justin and I are middle of the night people.
At 3 a.m. last night these are some pictures I took, until our neighbor hung out their second story window and informed me that my photography session and the dog party were interrupting their sleep cycle.

Some Current Photos

Most Moms would put the kabosh on Hide and Seek in the house, but Marie was a good sport as three grown adults (Bj, Justin and me) were running around her house hiding while Lily counted. Who wouldn't want to be found by a smiling, little Lily???
