I introduced you all to Bell a couple of weeks ago and I wanted you to see how she grown 😊
You don’t really notice the growth when you see them everyday… But she is progressing in every way. Smart as a whip!
I will send you another update later on.
PS: She’s sneaky 👇🏻
Have a good night 😴

Last night was interesting to say the least.. We have a new puppy in the house 🐶 You forget just how involved it is. They have such incredible energy! Having to take them out to walk, clean up after their accidents, watch where you step and what you leave down… Etc. Then, at bedtime, the whining and barking is non stop for a while. Then there’s the late night walks, more water, more play, more whining… Wow! Energy without bounds.
Then, just when you think it might have been a mistake, that it’s gonna be so much work and effort… she crawls up on you and goes to sleep in your lap… Thats when you realize that Love is a four legged word 🐶❤️ You’ve got a new family member, a new baby… and the whining stops when you let her sleep beside you in the bed 🛌

I made a “random” Facebook post today with a picture of our dog Ranger as a puppy. He was a big hit! He’s such a handsome dog and he was the cutest puppy ever 🐶 Honestly, I didn’t even think about the fact that it’s #throwbackthursday!
So I thought I would just flip the same theme over to my blog today. What a great Throwback memory! He is now 4 years old 😊
PS: I literally forgot to publish this earlier today 🙄 Hope you had a great Throwback Thursday!

All my memories as far back as I can recall, involve a dog. “Mans best friend” didn’t get to be their calling card for no reason! I really believe that Dogs make us better people…
Yesterday we all got out to do a few things in the snow and ice. Long story short, I twisted my ankle a bit… And Scout is stove up a bit today as well. But, when she saw me in pain, she crawled over to me this morning to let me know that she loved me. Your dog wants to take care of you more than their self… What an admirable trait.
Im gonna try to be more like my dogs from now on. I think if we all did, the world would be a better place😊

We stayed up LATE last night, binge watching movies and eating Christmas goodies… I normally don’t sit up real late, so it was different & fun 🤩 Until this morning…
It’s been a Great Christmas season! But I think I’m ready for 2021… Now, for a shower 🚿

Good morning! It’s #Throwbackthursday! I was looking through old photos of Halloween’s past and found this very special photo of Jacobs first best friend… his dog Tracker. Tracker was always a good sport and went along with any crazy 😜 dress up plan that Jacob and Jo came up with. She especially Loved Halloween 🎃 Probably all the treats and snacks that she got 😊 Dogs 🐶 are truly mans best friend!
Have a Great Throwback Thursday! And Happy Halloween 🎃 👻

What a beautiful morning! The reward for a long week of playing catch up… the water is smooth, the wind is light and breakfast at the Marina calls… This is heaven for these dogs… They deserve it As well 😊
It’s nice to have the whole bunch out on the River on a Sunday Morning! To the dogs it means one thing – Bacon 🥓
Y’all have a Great Sunday!!

Sometimes my blog writes itself 😊 Here’s a great #throwbackthursday picture for ya’!
This picture was taken right after we finished the initial installation around 10 years ago.
We built this Pondless Waterfall about 10 years ago. We went back to clean up and service it recently and installed a brand new Foot Bridge!
The new bridge is built from treated lumber and has several coats of paint. It should be around for the long haul! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio
The original bridge was cedar and lasted a good while. This new bridge is built from treated lumber and should last much longer than 10 years 🤞🏻
Dog days are pleasant when you have a place to cool off 😊
PS: Dogs LOVE Waterfalls!
Throwback Thursday is a special day indeed 😊
Y’all have a wonderful day!

What a beautiful morning! The river is smooth as glass and it feels so good outside 😊 Sunday morning with my family, on the river, at the marina for breakfast is always a Great Day! ❤️
The dogs know what Sunday morning means… BACON 🥓💥
This is the final leg of Jo & I’s 26th Anniversary celebration 😊 We had to include Jacob and the pups to really celebrate! What better way than a day on the river 😊

Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.”
