Our family is complete...






as far as adults and animals go! We have added one more member to our animal family!! After watching Chester, a full blooded English Mastiff, for a couple of weeks, his owners called to ask if we might consider adopting him. They travel lots and have 3 dogs and a baby. With Chester, we have done it the right way. We kept him and got a feel for his personality and we were actually kind of sad that he was going to have to leave in a couple of days. If anyone knows Brandon and I, the decision was not up to me. I am a softy when it comes to puppy dogs that need homes. We've tried this a couple of other times and have had to make alternate arrangements with the puppies (new homes or back to their old ones).

Chester is so mild mannered and we have found that is the kind of dog we enjoy around here. He sits like Mya, stays like Mya, eats like Mya (maybe a little bit more he usually finishes off Mya's bowl), sleeps lots like Mya, loves LOTS of attention just like Mya, if he were any better he would BE Mya! So with Mya and Brandon's approval, we have a new member of our household. A really big one....

On a side note, things like this...

could easily ruin ones day. That's when you need a double dose of this...

to get you started when your morning starts out like so. This is precisely why I normally have Brandon do the coffee!!

I have done that SO many times, and yes, that is why Jack does coffee at our house, and cooks, does the lawn...any many other things!

Oh yeah, we bring Luke, our Great Dane puppy, home this weekend! He just got his ears cropped and looks pitiful! :(
