Yes there is a real dog in those wrinkles.
This is River our bloodhound when she was a wee pup.
Looks like a Monday face to me lol.

Not an entry. Just sharing her giant self.



This was River a couple months ago. That foot stool is over 3' wide. She sure has grown!

Tilly....sweet Tilly.

At the beginning of covid shutdown here she was a bit nutty about having to stay home. Cue baby fits in Pops chair.



October 24, 2019 River came home at 8 weeks old. I puppy sat an additional 4 pups for a week. Tilly had unsupervised time in the giant dog run outside. Turns out that was REALLY REALLY REALLY bad.
Just under 2 weeks after River came home Tilly nearly died.....seriously a frogs butt hair from dead.
She had swallowed a rock while playing in the yard. At noon I had her in the vets office because she seemed "off". At 1:30 am she violently vomited a HUGE pile of blood. The emergency clinic said she could wait for the regular vet. At 4 am she was catatonic. I took her in to the hospital with hubs help to load her up. She spent 6 days in the hospital with acute hemorrhagic enteritis. After a month of syringe feeding her every couple hours she FINALLY was able to eat on her own.
To go from that to her temper tantrum about staying home made me so incredibly happy.

She still panics a bit if I have to leave.


Extremely concerned when I stepped NEAR the door.




Rocks are bad....very very bad.

This is Ruby, a 5 1/2 year old mix breed of fur. Her mom was dropped off on the property, pregnant, she was a nasty mean thing but the kittens were nice. I kept Ruby, there was just something special about her from the time she was a close eyed little thing. She's mostly an outdoor cat, avid hunter of mice, birds, squirrels, and rabbits, and a cat napper. She is loving the Christmas tree and can sleep for hours under it.

Oh poor baby! I am glad she is ok!!

Oh poor baby! I am glad she is ok!!

I think we are both a little mentally scarred by it all. It is a miracle she lived.

This spring I will be hauling 10+ tons of pea gravel to bury that run in. No more dadgum digging!

Oh absolutely, dogs never get over traumatic events like this, I wouldn't either!

Her mom was an airedale her pops was a fence jumping black and tan coon hound.
She is a very vocal dog always watching for anything shifty outside.
