Quincy and Sheila

Quincy is our newest puppy. She is Sheila’s younger sister. Quincy’s dad was a black lab. She is a little unusual because she has the build of a heeler but she is all black. Her shape is identical to Sheila’s… They have the same nose and big ears! I think they are both gorgeous puppies.

Sheila is full of energy and I think she’s glad to have another puppy to play with. Our older dogs can’t keep up with her!

Stephanie and I went to visit Woodward Park. The flowers are all in full bloom and the colors are amazing!

We found this green tub with shamrocks on it and thought it would make a great prop for a St. Patrick’s Day photo. The wood flooring is a small sheet of vinyl laminate. I bought the hat from Etsy.com and found the fur in Hobby Lobby. The baby boy is my grandson, Ethan.

Say Hello To My Little Friends

These are my dogs. They are my buddies, my best friends, my troublemakers and mess makers. I took this photo while trying out a new portable softbox. As I was editing the photo, I kept thinking how much each of their personalities was showing in the photo. Because of that, I really like this photo.

The big guy on the left is Bitzer. The little ornery looking girl peeking out in the middle is Sheila. The calm, humble looking, chubby girl on the right is Linux.

Bitzer is big brother. He showed up outside near our porch one day on the verge of dying. He wasn’t moving much and looked pretty sick. We took him to the vet and got him all fixed up. We adopted Linux from an animal shelter. She was found in a box in the parking lot of a Walmart, abandoned with a couple of her brothers. Sheila was given to us by a friend who knew we liked animals and thought we needed another puppy.

Bitzer and Sheila are Blue Heelers. They are both very smart. Sheila is a bundle of energy. She constantly bounces off the walls… literally. She’s a bouncing, jumping, flying machine. Linux is the big sister. She is pretty mellow most of the time, but she won’t hesitate to put the heelers in line. She is very vocal and loud when she gets on to them. It’s kind of funny. But they listen.

They are all indoor dogs unless they are outside playing or going to the bathroom. At bedtime, Bitzer and Linux start out in the bed at our feet and Bitzer will hop down when he’s ready to go to sleep. He lays along the side of the bed and sticks his head under the bed. Linux usually sleeps at our feet and occasionally will scoot up to cuddle a little bit. She loves to cuddle and be loved on. Sheila is up and down and up and down and won’t hardly be still. When she does be still for a few minutes, she curls up right next to either me or my wife. Then she’s up and down and around and around again. She’s getting better though. Maybe I’ll get a good nights sleep soon.

That’s our dogs. We love them all.
