The Pack


We are dog sitting for a friend who is in the hospital and she is getting along swimmingly with my two pooches. The vacuum will be getting a workout today.

This is Trent who is a female Sheltie. She's a sweetheart.

I'm not sure why the male name for a female dog but her owner is on the eccentric side. The poor dear isn't very smart which is uncharacteristic for this breed. But she truly has been no trouble and is becoming more comfortable with each passing day.

A for my own brood, here is my dear Fred who we adopted some years ago from the pound in Louisiana. He's a very sensitive Basset Hound and the alpha dog.

Adorable no? He is a cuddler with a lot to say.

Then there is my sweetheart and favorite of all time, Myrtle.

She appeared in my driveway one Christmas about 7 years ago. She was cowering near a line of crepe myrtle trees in the yard and looked like a little rat with no hair. She had the mange and was maybe 8 weeks old wandering the streets. It's a wonder how she avoided being squashed by a car.

After coffee and a few morning shows it's off to work on taxes.
Wooo hooo!

Bless you for accepting Myrtle as your Christmas gift and bringing her into your life. The same with Fred. All of my dogs are rescues and I often wonder who rescued who? :-) I hope Trent's owner mends quickly because she/he looks like a dog that really needs to know who's her owner.
