The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his master's own,
Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone."

Our new puppy "Bear"
Brynn and Dreyfuss
Megan and Sage
"Bear" when he was younger, just about 7 months ago.
"Tucker", Megan's Russian Tortoise
Bear is Eric's dog and he absolutely loves him so much.
Sage is my baby
Dreyfuss is getting to be a pretty old guy but he is still as loveable and handsome as ever.
The Greedy dog
This dog will eat anything
Apple cores and bacon fat,
Milk you poured out for the cat.
He likes the string that ties the roast,
And relishes hot buttered
toast.
Hide your chocolates! He's a thief,
He'll even eat your handkerchief.
And if you don't like sudden shocks,
Carefully conceal your socks.
Leave some soup without the lid,
And you'll wish you never did.
When you think he must be full,
You find him gobbling bits of wool,
Orange peel or paper bags,
Dusters and old cleaning rags.
This dog will eat anything.
Except for mushrooms and cucumber.
Now what are wrong with those I wonder?

Cats
Cats sleep
Anywhere,
Any table,
Any chair,
Top of piano,
Window Ledge,
In the middle,
On the edge,
Open drawer,
Empty shoe,
Anybody's,
Lap will do,
Fitted in a Cardboard box,
In the cupboard With your frocks-
Anywhere!
They don't care!
Cats sleep Anywhere.

STILL YOUNG
His coat shines black, eyes glow bright,
Yet, in them deep impending night.
Not long before his lope was long,
His stride was firm, true and strong.
With great delight, he ran so free
Now content he rests near me.
Age creeps furtive into his bones,
Where is the pup I past have known?
Look down the road past gate and trees
Where you once chased the cats and geese...
I see you there you'll always be
Still young inside the heart of me
