Pup Pampering

Our little dog, "Becki" (front) is 15 1/2 years old and she is quite sick this weekend. She somehow cut the inside of her mouth and she is in much pain because of an infection. Her son, "Fritzie" (back) is 12 years old and he is definitely concerned about his Mama. My son took this picture last night with his cell phone camera as they were lying on a doggie pad in front of the fire. They are long-haired miniature Dachshunds. Fritzie will not allow anyone but me or my son to approach Becki. He knows she is too weak to defend herself. Chivalry at its best.

UPDATE 4:55 PST:

Becki passed away in my arms just a few minutes ago. She has been a wonderful pet and a dear dear friend. I am so sad.

Hangin' around ...

Lazy Days of last Summer

This picture is from last June. I found it  on my camera disk this morning. I haven't seen the turtles since they went to hibernation last Fall, but another few days of sunny weather and they'll all be out sunning again.

Mama, I don't want to get up yet.

Are they kidding? or LMAO

Once in awhile I surf Blog Explosion to get away from politics and see what the rest of the bloggers out there are thinking and talking about. Today I found this ad and it made me laugh so hard, I just had to share it. I have 150, 55, and 35 gallon fish tanks plus a good sized outdoor pond with fish and turtles. I also have cats and dogs and I can't even get them trained. Sheesh!
