Memory Lane

It's hard to believe Erin will turn 5 years old next month and in January Buck will turn 11 years old. It got me thinking of all the dogs that have blessed our home. In the home I was raised in we always had dogs, my husband came from a home that never had pets so talking him into getting a dog was not easy. Once I did get him to agree I figured we'd be lucky to be a one dog family. But that quickly changed,we went from one dog to having four in the house for some years, not including the birds, hamsters, and fish. Willow, a Siberian Husky was our first dog followed a year later by Irish our first German Shepherd. We got them a year apart and when Willow passed on Irish followed 2 years later. We are reminded of Willow daily through her son Buck. Below are a few photos I scanned of Willow & Irish, wish we had more but this is before we had our digital camera and getting photos developed was just a hassle.

Have a Great Day!

It's hard just to have one dog or one cat isn't it??? We have 2 dogs, 4 cats, and about 80 pet koi. Have a great weekend!

Mom Beaglebratz here - yep, like that well known potato chip ad says - "ya can't have just one". Growing up, we were seldom without at least 1 dog and I am continuing that "tradition" and will continue as long as I am able to care for 1. And now that I have had at least 2 at one time, don't know if I could ever go back to just 1 - actually, I would love to have more but rite now, it is just not feasible.

Thank you for sharing this. I keep meaning to start writing about all the dogs I've been lucky to know but keep putting it off. This is a good reminder.

So far we still only have one dog, one cat, and some fish. But I don't know how long that is going to last!

What a great reflective post! They were both adorable puppies and very striking dogs!

Oh, Willow and Irish were so beautiful! My favorite two breeds as well! I especially love the sleeping photo with Irish's paw over Willow, so endearing. It's just amazing to me how they come into our lives and make them so rich, and always stay with us forever in our hearts. My only wish is they could share their love and lives with us for so much longer. Beautiful pics. My husband was raised w/o pets also, and I had so many pets from multiple dogs (we always had more than 1), cats, horses, birds, a bull, and even a rescued fox! Now, he loves our FiveSibes and is wonderful with them (and they love him!) Thanks for sharing your memories and photos! Have a great weekend and happy blog hopping to you too!

I have always said, "okay but only one THIS TIME"

I have six... 4 dogs two cats. I believe in rescue and adoption both. We choose rescue simply because many of the shelters place their hard to find home animals with rescues. Over time, I will share stories on my blog about the critters. A whole lot of love exist in my home to the point of nauseum... hehehe. But I like it. Hugs. Tammy

Looks like Willow and Irish were great friends! Here's the link to where I ordered the dogs' Christmas bandanas from:

Beautiful dogs. I can't imagine what it's like to live without dogs in the house.
