the family dogs...

over the weekend i went down to tennessee to help my parents pack up their house & work their yard sale. yup, they are moving back east after nearly 15 years of being southerners. i am most excited about these two moving closer though, although i don't think these country dogs are going to like city living too much. meet zip & posey...


another family member who will be staying with us (possibly) for a month early this summer is my sister & brother-in-law's dog, brisby, also known as 'the worm hunter' or 'van gogh'. check out his new backpack for hikes with his mom & dad, so cool right?...


penny spent the weekend with her daddy & sister maple. she was very happy to sleep in the big bed & run around the yard all weekend while i was away. the boyfriend was just commenting last night on what a 'good girl' she's grown up to be. here she is giving the camera a little wink...


and this bozo, hank, heaven help him, is going to 'good manner' classes at the animal rescue league starting next tuesday night, because, well, he has NO manners whatsoever! i don't have high hopes that he'll be an honor student or anything, this boy is TROUBLE...
