Hi Anna! Your dogs are beautiful, and all so different looking from eachother! What an assortment you have there...mastiff, chow and husky, I love it!

I have some exciting news on the pet front at my house ...actually 2 bits of exciting news! My fiance's birthday is on Friday and I have been working on a little surprise for him for a gift...tomorrow I'm going and picking him up a kitten that I've adopted. I'm very excited, and I know he will love it. We've talked a lot about getting one, and I've tried to play it off like I'm neutral on the subject so that he doesn't suspect what I'm up to. I'll post some pictures of the little girl once we get here home and acquainted with the other seven animals and us, which may take a little bit lol

The 2nd bit of news is, next weekend we are taking in a dog to foster for a local rescue group until he can find his new forever home. He is a 1 yr old black lab mix with cute little white toes and a white chest. I'm looking forward to being able to help write up a little bio on him and take some good pictures of him to help him find a great family - the shelter told me that they had such issues taking a decent picture of him because of his color, and that they think that is part of the reason black dogs are often the last to be picked for adoption. My 2 girl dogs here will love having a new guy around to wrestle with, and I'll have fun teaching him some tricks and how to be a well mannered pup. The rescue group was severely short on foster homes so this poor little guy has been staying at a vet's office, being boarded there. I'm sure he'll be a bit anxious when he gets here after being cooped up for so long, but I think he'll adjust quickly. If anyone has any tips on helping him, let me know.

Here are some pictures that I took the past few days - our yard is finally fenced in at our new house, so the dogs are able to run around free now. At our old house we lived on 50 acres of woods, and they were NOT liking the whole "leash" thing in the yard when we 1st moved in! Until they were secure though, they didn't have a choice!
