Love the pics. Mabel looks a lot like our pup Zoey, a Shih Tzu/ Bichon mix who is closing in on 17 years in March! Thanks for your posts and honest commentary. Enjoy ur dogs, I think they keep us sane!!

Always need more Mabel pictures but pairing them with Tucker is even better! Thanks for all you do, Steve, in your life separate from being a Dog Dad!!🤭

I agree. Dogs are the best, so no matter the topic, have your dogs in there somewhere.

The plans, actions, and strategies of the Trump regime are so profoundly unAmerican, so incompatible with our traditional values, and yet endorsed by a majority of people in red states that I believe it is time to seriously consider peacefully dissolving the Union and establishing a separate nation of blue states. Hopefully, this could be done peacefully. I can't take much more of the insanity poisoning our country and destabilizing the entire world. By leaving the red states to their MAGA swamp, we would de-fang them.

I’ve had both breeds. My absolute favorite are labs. Best dogs ever once you get to age two and they’ve stopped chewing everything in sight. Our Shih Tzus were sweet as pie. Loving little souls. Your fur babies are beautiful and undoubtedly bring you joy while the world isn’t always joyful. Never trust anyone who’s never had a family pet is my motto.

We love our Lab...and our Havanese, which is what Mabel is!

Love the motto :-)

Sorry, I didn't know about your dogs. Who is who? Neither looks fourteen - no greying around the muzzle.

Louise,

It is amazing how black Tucker's coat still is!

Mabel is the fluffy little brownish bundle. Tucker is her big brother.

Thank you. I am a dedicated dog lover - usually I have big ones (Labs and Danes) but I have a real soft spot for fluffy bundles!

We just inherited one from my sister in law who couldn’t care for her any longer. We weren’t going to add more pets since we are over 70 and have 3 older cats. Surprise! She keeps us busy. Enjoy your fur baby.

Love, love, love the dog pics. I have 2 young 3-year-olds, after my last best friend departed I could not stand the silence. Both of mine were rescues, both were about 7 months old when I was lucky enough to find them. I can honestly say mine rescued me, not the other way around. They are family! They keep us sane, if possible and give so much love!
