meet our new family member.

ok as you know we lost our last dog starr, but we adopted a new puppy from the humane society (the pound) well here she is and her name is annie.
she is a border collie mix, mixed with what we dont know. here is some more pics of her

she is a smart little pup she is 2 months and three weeks old. she allready figured out the dog door and the stairs and also how to hide under the outside stairs so she dont have to come in, she loves to be outside and escapes to there any chance she gets!

i love this shot
she is a real pistol shootin all over the place, then she gets warm and has to did up a bit of dirt and plop her stomack in there to cool down notice the back leggs straight out for total gut contact.
here she is under the stairs in the first pic and the second one of her but is with sue on the other side trying to talk her into commin out, belive me she has no problem with argueing with ya when she dont want to do somethin!

these next ones crack us up when she does it, now when she drinks water inside she stands up but outside she has to sit down?

here are more under the stairs coolin the belly and watchin sue
note the eyes watchin sue.

next two just relaxin
ok just a few random shots of her for the last few. but we are looking to get another puppy for her (and us) we tried to get her sister also but we were to late someone beat us to her so we are checkin everyday at the humane society for just the right pup for her so keep lookin back for more updates on the new arivals.

ok keep lookin back hope the newbie will be here soon!

in memory of starr.

well sat the 16th we had to put our other dog starr to sleep,
she had severe arthritis in her spine and in the past she had to have both rear knees operated on for the same thing, we had gotten her as a companion for dakota to keep her company and to give her someone to play with while we were at work or out. we had her for 12 years and she passed 1 year and 11 months to the day that dakota was put to sleep.
now her and dakota were complete opposites of each other dakota loved other dogs and starr hated anything alive that wasnt dakota but liked people (adults) and as anyone that met dakota knew that she hated all people.
there they are doin what they loved to do together in there section of the yard thats why it wasnt mowed they loved looking for and catching snakes and lizards together.

now dakota was with no doubt sues dog and starr was mine, i couldnt go outside to the shed or just to the yard with out her she had to go with me, if i was into some project of any sort she was into it too. here i was finishing gutting a hog before we butchered it and as you can see she had to have her nose in on the deal.
the funniest thing she would love to do was aggravate sue anyway she could anytime she could to get a rise out of her and believe me she did!
here she is when we first started to clear our yard after we moved in playin with her ball.
the next pics are two of my favorite one as i said she has to be into what i am so when we did a older post on the sidecar project and as you can see she was exited about it. and the other one i was headed out to go huntin and she wanted to be with me.

she will be so missed but it was not fair to her to stay in the pain that she was even though she never complained and tried so hard not to let i slow her down but she was starting to loose the battle so we gave her freedom back to her. we love you starr.
