Thanksgiving with the Fam (and the dogs)!

Don't ask how many shots it took to get a picture of me with both my dogs and all of us looking straight ahead. I worked hard for this picture b/c several people who will remain nameless (Sam and Derek) gave me a hard time for leaving Bama out.



Emily's kids (well, most of her kids) are skiddish around dogs. I don't blame them much considering the dogs of the past (and present) that they've been forced to endure. I've worked very hard to have dogs that her kids wouldn't have to be afraid of. Trevor is still VERY hyper, so he's got to calm down before they'll want to play with him, but Bama is another story entirely. If ever there were two dogs with opposite personalities, it's Trevor and Bama. Bama is as laid-back as Trevor is hyper. Nothing bothers him! Consequently, Emily's kids liked him! This is Jacob and Bama at the lake where we took Trevor to swim. I title this picture, "A boy and my dog"


Despite the many toys I've bought my dogs to play with (mostly Kong toys because my dogs are really destructive), Bama found a favorite toy at my mama and papas house--a Barbie head! Don't ask me where he found it, but he loved it. At one point, I took it away from him and put it in my back pocket. He jumped up and took it out of my pocket though. So I just let him have it.
