bogie was a shelter dog

scheduled to be euthanized.

saved & given to his person, todd,

bogie now lives a life of luxury as the "first dog" (he's my alpha).

a lover of just about anyone,

bo is the friendly one.

in one of the stars

i shall be living

in one of them

i shall be laughing

and so it will be

as if all the stars

were laughing

when you look

at the sky at night

from the little prince

by antione de saint-exupery

bogie - the first do' - ate a cookie, took his final walk and passed away on sunday 7-19-08

i'm gonna miss him...

crime dog!

bogie's brother & the beauty of the family.

arlo was so dirty

everyone thought he was a brown dog.

he's a lover,

gentle,

crazy,

and the first to run when danger could happen. he's my "baby boy"

& boy does he know it.

max - discovered underneath an arby's dumpster at 2am.

he never thought twice

when asked if he wanted to come to my house

(to stay!)

he thinks he's the top banana &

all around tough guy but really a sweetie.

he follows arlo everywhere

(& everywhere = trouble)

zora was found bopping down a busy street.

i returned her to her person

but 2 months later her person couldn't keep her

& wouldn't i love to have her

(...and her brother...) - sucker!

they are certainly a pair.

sweet & fierce

they moved in & just fell into place.

so here they are, tennis balls and all

(the game of choice).

zora just loooves arlo!
