O.K., doesn't look like anyone has volunteered to start this new picture thread, so I guess it has to be me (lol) Not that I mind at all; always happy to add pics. of my girls
This pic. is of Tess & Megg relaxing (their favourite thing) & 'having a chat'. Wish I knew what they were saying (or planning (lol))
This pic. was taken at Easter this year.
Megg, very intent on stalking & catching a bird (Mmmmm)
And last, but not least, (for now (lol)), this is Tess's birthday, where Miss Bossy Boots Megg kept taking her present off her. Tess, being Tess, just lets her.
O.K., just one more ................. Miss Tess, smelling the flowers.

Olesia, thankyou, but I am laughing out loud at your 'evil twins' comment. I'm sure they are both absolutely beautiful & really do adore each other.
I do know I am very lucky with my two girls. They are both just the sweetest ever.

Maggie Lee,
What priceless photos of Charlie-Pete! Yup, I know that "throw the ball" look all too well!!! Here in New England it's been feeling more like south Florida with temps in the 90's and Tara STILL wants to play ball...I'm melting even thinking about chasing it?!?!

Lynn -
In the first picture it looks like Megg is taking a power nap and Tess is giving her "The Paw"... all innocent "Oh you weren't sleeping were you? " The second picture made me smile because it looks like they coordinated the way they both laid down in positions identical to each other! And then Megg in stealth mode hunting for critters or just boldly stealing toys belonging to Tess... what spunk that girl has! While sweet Miss Tess just takes the time to smell the roses
They are always such a fun pair to see together! | |

Maggie-Lee,
Looks like Charlie-Pete is hoping you hurry up and put the camera down and take him for a walk to go pee... poor guy has his legs almost crossed holding it! Just kidding!
He has such focus and attention... do you train and compete in anything with him? | |

Maggie-Lee, fantastic photo. What an absolute cutie is your gorgeous boy.
We still have Mary the greyhound staying with us (for another week or so), & I'm beginning to think that she is making herself just a little too comfortable. She has always been quite a loner, very very shy, but since staying here with us over the last few months, she's really come out of her shell. This pic. was taken yesterday when I saw her cuddling up to Tess.

Ahhh, how sweet! I do think she is making herself comfy. That says alot about you and the girls. You guys just opened your hearts to her and she knows it. What more could she want? | |

Thanks Karen; Mary is a sweetie. When my daughter Jo first adopted her, she was frightened of her own shadow. So nervous & shy. She would come around here & when my girls would go up to her & greet/sniff her, she would growl at them. She has come such a long way & I can see how happy & relaxed she is here now. She tries to play often which is something she would never do & loves nothing more than to snuggle next to the girls. | |

Happy Birthday Manfred! You only get more handsomer and snuggy looking as you get older! What a handsome young man. So glad you enjoyed your birthday walk, got to swim and already meet up w/ friends. You look wonderful and hope the rest of your day is just as good. Love your pics! Hondo has a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks, the 19th. But he is 2 years older than you. Maybe next year, in Aug. in Canada, we can celebrate them together a couple of weeks late! | |
