Yes - it was really hard convincing all of the puppies to stay in the wagon all at the same time!!

As you can see, finding "couch space" in our home is always a challenge.  We joked that when we bought the two couches for the living room that one was for us and one was for the dogs - they ended up taking both couches over!!

Even visiting dogs, such as my parents Boston Terrier "Emmy", make themselves at home around here.

Jeffrey and Ladybug.  Lady is currently residing in Minnesota on a farm with a Minister and his wife.  Lady often attends the youth group functions and even helps wrap Christmas presents for their fundraiser at the mall!
